AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Border Security & Smuggling Crackdown: Iraq and the Kurdistan Region renewed coordination on border security and anti-smuggling efforts, with Iraqi National Security Adviser Qasim al-Aboudi meeting Masoud Barzani in Erbil as a joint Baghdad-Erbil committee reviewed the Iran-Iraq security agreement. Weapons Under State Control: Iraq’s interior ministry says more than 600 tribal sheikhs cooperated in registering tribal weapons, as Baghdad pushes to keep arms under state authority. Electricity Push: PM Ali al-Zaidi told the electricity ministry to plan for “doubling” power production and distribution in 2027, targeting 30,000 MW domestic capacity plus major imports. Oil Export Diversification: Lebanon and an Iraqi delegation met in Beirut to revive the historic Kirkuk-Tripoli pipeline as a Mediterranean re-export route, while Iraq’s oil exports reportedly hit about 2 million bpd in August. Anti-Corruption at Ports: The PM ordered faster border-port automation and daily reporting on revenues, aiming to curb fraud, smuggling, and illicit financial flows. Security Operations: Iraqi forces killed three terrorists and seized an ISIS weapons cache in Diyala and Anbar, and also dismantled an international drug network, seizing 90 kg of narcotics. Road Safety: A bus-truck collision in Nineveh killed 7 and injured 23, with authorities investigating claims the driver fell asleep. Earthquake Report: Seismic observatories recorded an earthquake near Sulaimaniyah, followed by aftershocks.
