U.S. Praises Kurdistan's Role in Oil Markets Amid Iran War Fallout
The US has praised the Kurdistan Regional Government's role in maintaining oil market stability amid the ongoing conflict with Iran. The recognition comes after a diplomatic call between US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Kurdistan Regional Government Prime Minister Masrour Barzani.
The US has acknowledged the Kurdistan Regional Government's critical role in keeping Iraqi oil flowing to international markets. This recognition comes as the conflict with Iran continues to disrupt global oil markets. At least six Kurdish Peshmerga soldiers were killed in an Iranian ballistic missile strike on March 24. The US and Israeli forces launched coordinated strikes against Iran on February 28, prompting Tehran to retaliate. The conflict has resulted in thousands of casualties and a deepening humanitarian toll. The Kurdistan Region serves as a strategic energy partner and a frontline stakeholder in the crisis.
