dijlahpoint - A strategic economic report has proposed four alternative pipeline routes for exporting Iraqi crude oil, aiming to diversify export outlets and reduce reliance on the Strait of Hormuz amid regional tensions and supply disruption risks. The proposed routes include the Basra–Haditha–Aqaba line connecting to the Red Sea, and the Haditha–Baniyas line linking to the Mediterranean via Syria. The third route proposes a line running from Basra through Saudi Arabia to Oman to access the Arabian Sea and Asian markets, while the fourth targets the Haditha–Kirkuk–Ceyhan route toward the Turkish coast. The report highlighted the strategic potential of Haditha as a central pipeline hub, emphasizing that diversifying export gateways is critical to mitigating operational risks and securing stable national revenues.
