At the core of the clash? Disagreements over the amount of oil allocated for local consumption. Baghdad approves 46,000 barrels per day, while Erbil demands 65,000. Meanwhile, local sales and backdoor deals continue to enrich regional players, creating a massive incentive to delay federal agreements.

International oil companies are also stuck, demanding overdue payments and fair terms before restarting investments — estimated at $400 million currently frozen.

In this episode, we break down:
• The shocking daily losses Iraq faces from this stalemate.
• Why local profits and political interests keep Erbil from agreeing.
• How international oil giants are using the crisis to push for their demands.
• The long-term impact on Iraq’s global standing and internal stability.
• What must happen for exports to resume and who truly benefits from the delay.
