AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoE-waste Crisis: Iraq generates about 150,000 tons of electronic waste each year, with much of it dumped or burned in informal scrapyards that release toxic metals and chemicals into air, soil, and water. Water & Heat Stress: In Al-Muthanna, untreated wastewater and pollution are worsening water quality, while drought-like shortages and extreme heat are hitting rivers, farmland, livestock, and even biodiversity. Cleaner Oil Routes: Baghdad is pushing a new export pipeline network to cut reliance on the Strait of Hormuz, including routes from Basra to Ceyhan and Haditha to Baniyas. US-Iraq Shift to Investment: As the US mission against ISIS winds down, Washington is tying deeper cooperation to militia disarmament, while Iraq’s PM al-Zaidi seeks expanded US financing for energy, transport, agriculture, and digital projects. Shipping Risk Reminder: Experts warn that fully reopening Hormuz would require a much larger security effort, since Iran can still disrupt tanker traffic with drones and missiles.
