## Resource

American companies just locked in $60 billion in deals with Iraq, reshaping global energy logistics — from healthcare to infrastructure, but the big move? Creating new oil export routes to bypass the Strait of Hormuz. After Iraqi PM Ali Falah al-Zaidi met with U.S. energy leaders, calling for long-term partnerships, Chevron signed three key deals — two to boost production, one to build a pipeline. Meanwhile, the U.S. helped broker a joint Iraq-Syria oil pipeline revival, with a U.S.-led consortium set to lead. This isn’t just about profits — it’s about energy security, regional stability, and Iraq’s push for independence from chokepoints.
