Recent drone attacks in the region have forced some oil refineries here to cease operation, while others continue. More broadly, Iraq, a member of OPEC, has had to sharply reduce oil production as its main export route, through the Strait of Hormuz, has been block due to the war between Iran and the U.S., Israel and their regional allies. On March 12, two oil tankers were attacked in Iraqi waters offshore from its main port of Basrah, allegedly by Iranian forces. Meanwhile, Baghdad and the government of semi-autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan are negotiating to try to increase exports through the Iraq-Turkey Pipeline, which has been a source of political and legal tension.

Hezbollah said on March 9 it was fighting Israeli forces who landed in eastern Lebanon by helicopter across the Syrian border, the second such operation since the outbreak of the latest conflict with Israel. Lebanon was drawn into the Middle East war last week when Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah attacked Israel in response to the killing of Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei during US-Israeli strikes.
