Lebanese PM visits Baghdad to negotiate revival of Kirkuk-Tripoli crude oil pipeline

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam is in Baghdad to discuss energy cooperation, specifically the potential reactivation of the dormant Kirkuk-Tripoli pipeline. This initiative follows recent Iraqi-Syrian efforts to rehabilitate the Haditha-Banias line, signaling a broader Iraqi strategy to diversify export routes to the Mediterranean. The feasibility of the project remains uncertain due to regional security conditions and the extensive infrastructure repairs required.
