Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government have agreed to restart oil exports through Turkey. The deal will resume the flow of crude via the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline to the port of Ceyhan on the Mediterranean. The development contributed to a decline in global oil prices.
Iran has completely halted its natural gas supply to Iraq, according to the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity. The stoppage follows an attack on gas facilities at Iran's South Pars field.
