Iranian Diplomacy and Iraqi Economy
The article discussed Iraq's efforts to strengthen its economy in light of the challenges it faces, particularly due to heavy reliance on oil and threats to close the Strait of Hormuz. During the visit of Iraq’s new Prime Minister to the United States, agreements worth 60 billion dollars were signed, focusing on developing the energy sector, especially oil, gas, and electricity. These initiatives aim to establish alternative routes for transporting oil from the Gulf and reduce dependence on the Strait of Hormuz. The funding also includes projects in health, communications, and infrastructure. Despite these agreements, economic reforms in Iraq remain in the early stages, and the country faces significant risks from a decline in oil exports. Iraq has lost about 350 million barrels of exports since the closure of the Strait of Hormuz until June 2026, which exposes it to internal tensions and threatens stability in the country.
