Foreign energy companies continuing normal operations in Iraq, official says
BAGHDAD (Reuters) -Foreign energy firms continue operating normally in Iraq, a senior Iraqi official told Reuters on Thursday, after U.S. President Trump said U.S. personnel were being moved out of the Middle East because "it could be a dangerous place". The Iraqi oil ministry did not receive any notification from operators regarding staff reductions, added the official, who oversees operations in southern oilfields. On Wednesday, sources told Reuters that the U.S. was preparing an evacuation of its Iraqi embassy due to heightened security risks in the region.
