Washington praised the trilateral accord between Iraq, the Kurdistan Regional Government, and energy corporations that reopens the strategic Iraq-Turkey pipeline system. The State Department credited its diplomatic facilitation role and highlighted mutual advantages for American and Iraqi interests. Officials commended Prime Ministers Barzani and al-Sudani for their leadership throughout the negotiation process. The arrangement strengthens Baghdad-Erbil economic relations while enhancing regional energy stability.

The pipeline closure commenced in March 2023, following international arbitration decisions that required federal consent for Turkish transit operations. Export operations will restart within two days after the extended suspension period. American officials expect improved conditions for domestic business investments and reinforced Iraqi national authority. The accord addresses fiscal challenges while positioning Iraq as a dependable global energy partner.
