Turkey and Iraq agree to extend a previously expired oil pipeline deal for one additional year, according to reports. The extension includes an increase in oil flows through the pipeline, which is described as supporting continued exports via an alternative route. Both outlets say the arrangement helps maintain supply without relying on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The details of the terms beyond the one-year extension and increased throughput are not provided in the reports summarized here. The deal is framed as an operational and supply-management step that preserves an existing export pathway by keeping the pipeline arrangement in place and boosting volumes. The reports also indicate the agreement follows the expiration of the earlier contract, which required a new arrangement to avoid a disruption. Overall, the information across sources centers on the timing (one-year extension), the expected change (higher flows), and the stated strategic effect (continuity of exports via a route that avoids the Strait of Hormuz).
