Iraq and Kurdistan Regional Government Agree to Resume Oil Exports via Turkey

The agreement paves the way for restarting crude shipments through Turkish pipelines after a period of suspension.

Fact Check
The statement is strongly supported by a consensus across multiple, credible news sources. Evidence from Reuters, Al Jazeera, OilPrice.com, and others consistently reports that an agreement has been reached between the Iraqi government and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) to resume oil exports via Turkey. While some sources note that the exports have not physically restarted, this does not contradict the claim that an agreement to do so is in place.
