The Kurdistan Region on Sunday responded to claims by Baghdad that it is unwilling to export oil through Ceyhan pipeline, blaming the Iraqi government for overlooking an ongoing economic embargo on the Region and failure to put an end to state-linked pro-Iran factions’ attacks on infrastructure. Iraq’s oil ministry on Sunday accused the Kurdistan Region of refusing "to resume exports at this time,” after Iraq’s oil exports from the south were halted due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, demanding that Erbil resumes exports "immediately".
