A Clarification for the public in the Kurdistan Region and Iraq Iraq’s Federal Ministry of Oil has issued a statement claiming that the Kurdistan Region is not ready to export oil through the pipeline to Türkiye’s Ceyhan port. To clarify this for the public, we underline the following: 1.The Ministry’s statement does not address the full dimensions of the issue. It distorts the facts and attempts to blame the Kurdistan Region in order to mislead public opinion. 2.Since January, the current government in Baghdad has imposed a suffocating embargo under the pretext of implementing the ASYCUDA customs system. It has prevented dollars from reaching the Kurdistan Region’s traders, effectively halting commercial activity. Baghdad has also failed to allocate the necessary time and arrangements for the Kurdistan Region to implement the system, something we requested from the beginning of this crisis. 3.Outlawed militias have made all of the Kurdistan Region’s oil, gas, and energy fields and facilities targets of their attacks. As a result of these terrorist attacks, production has been taken offline, leaving no oil available for export. 4.Baghdad is not prepared to confront these terrorist attacks against the Kurdistan Region or to prevent them. To date, no effective measures have been taken to stop these assaults. 5.Many of the perpetrators behind these attacks receive salaries and support from Baghdad, while the salaries of the people of the Kurdistan Region are consistently delayed and cut. 6.The Kurdistan Region has made clear, in every way, its readiness to help Iraq and the Kurdistan Region overcome this crisis. We have repeatedly called on Baghdad to begin a serious, constructive dialogue to resolve all of these issues. Instead, our requests have been ignored, and there are attempts to impose unconstitutional and illegal agendas on our region. Ministry of Natural Resources Kurdistan Regional Government 15/3/2026

Today, @SenBlumenthal and I introduced the Save the Kurds Act. I believe that there is strong bipartisan support for the idea of protecting the Kurds in Syria and beyond because they have been such a reliable ally to the United States. The SDF – with a large Kurdish element – took the brunt of the fight to defeat ISIS in President Trump’s first term. I realize Syria is complicated culturally, ethnically and politically. However, attacking the Kurds greatly diminishes the United States’ standing and will hinder Syria’s ability to grow as a country. To those countries or groups who believe it is open season on the Kurds in Syria without consequence, you will be sadly mistaken. https://t.co/TbwtGe5gu1

This is a call to the world: protect the Kurds, secure a decentralized future for them in Syria, and stop legitimizing violence as “stability.” Stand with the Kurds now, before ISIS and chaos rise again from the ruins.
