Turkey Says It Will End Iraq Oil Pipeline Agreement in July 2026
Turkey is unhappy with the underutilization of the pipeline under the current deal and sees greater potential benefit for itself and Iraq from a new arrangement, according to a senior Turkish official with direct knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter.
