Latest in Iraq Security Transition· Nov 9

The shutdown reduces available gas to a region already strained by geopolitical friction and sanctions, creating upward pressure on regional prices and global LNG markets dependent on Middle Eastern output. No claim of responsibility has emerged, leaving the strike's origin unclear amid ongoing tensions in the security transition.
