Washington pushes project to connect Iraq and Syria via oil pipeline to bypass the Strait of Hormuz

The United States, led by its Special Envoy "Thomas Barrack" (the project's godfather), is leading a strategic initiative to revive the Kirkuk-Baniyas pipeline to connect Iraqi oil to the Mediterranean.
The project aims to reduce Iran's influence over global energy corridors. **This was raised as a key file during the recent visit of Iraqi Prime Minister "Ali Al-Zaidi" to Washington and his meeting with President Trump, paving the way for the announcement of new oil partnerships that establish this strategic shift.
