Iranian-backed drones halted Iraqi oil output in July 2025; U.S. pressure reopened a key pipeline in September, a win for American energy interests.
In July 2025, Iranian-backed drones struck U.S.-operated oilfields in Iraq’s Kurdistan region, halting nearly half the region’s oil production.
The U.S. responded with intense diplomatic pressure, including threats of sanctions, to force Baghdad to reopen a key pipeline to Turkey’s Ceyhan port, closed since 2023.
The pipeline restarted in September following a preliminary agreement, marking a strategic win for the U.S. amid efforts to counter Iranian influence and boost American energy interests.
The temporary deal is set for review by year’s end, with long-term stability uncertain.
