On 23 September, parliamentary Foreign Relations Committee member Mukhtar al-Mousawi, speaking on Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official), called for government follow-up on Iraqi crude-oil exports through Ceyhan in Turkey and through Saudi Arabia and Syria. He also said the prime minister had met several US officials in New York but had not yet met President Donald Trump. The export-route request is al-Mousawi’s stated position, not an announced government decision.
