Turkey Provides Drought Relief Water to Iraq Amid Joint Faw Port Project; PKK Disarmament Ceremony Set for July 10-12

Turkey has agreed to provide additional water to drought-stricken Iraq, a move aimed at easing bilateral tensions and supporting a joint infrastructure project connecting Iraq's Faw port to Turkey. Meanwhile, Iraqi political efforts continue amid ongoing regional challenges, including revived disputes with Kuwait over a Gulf waterway. Experts have called for international legal measures against Turkey and Iran to safeguard Iraq's water rights. In northern Iraq, the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) is set to initiate a disarmament process by handing over weapons in a ceremony scheduled between July 10 and July 12 in Sulaymaniyah. This event marks the first concrete step toward disarmament and is being closely observed as part of Iraq's broader focus on energy and political stability.
