Cabinet Formation: President Nizar Amedi said only two to three ministerial posts remain unresolved, with the government warning Hormuz-linked disruptions could pressure exports and public salaries. Energy Strategy: Kirkuk aims to lift crude exports through Türkiye to 1 million bpd as talks on oilfield development and infrastructure continue.
