Iraq and Türkiye have signed a new one-year agreement on transporting Iraqi crude oil to Türkiye's Ceyhan Port, the Iraqi Ministry of Oil announced.

Under the agreement, Iraq will export at least 750,000 barrels of oil per day through the Iraq–Türkiye oil pipeline. Iraqi Oil Minister Basim Mohammed Khudair stressed that the pipeline plays a vital role in ensuring both regional and global energy security.

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi said the two countries would continue implementing a broad framework agreement covering cooperation in the oil sector, electricity, water resources, and other areas. Türkiye's Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Alparslan Bayraktar, noted that the pipeline guarantees the reliable delivery of Iraqi oil to global markets while reinforcing the strategic role of Ceyhan Port as a major logistics hub.

With an economy that relies heavily on crude oil exports—accounting for approximately 90 percent of its revenues—Iraq is seeking to diversify its export routes and reduce its dependence on maritime transport amid regional tensions. The one-year agreement also creates new opportunities for broader strategic dialogue between the two countries on key issues, including water resources and other areas of bilateral cooperation.
