Iraq’s top court on Friday rejected a complaint against the Kurdistan Region's multibillion-dollar oil and gas contracts signed with US firms in May, according to a statement from Rudaw English today. The complaint challenged the legality of these energy agreements. Separately, Iran has reportedly reached an agreement with France, the United Kingdom, and Germany for the renewal of nuclear talks next week, as stated in a report from Al-Mukhabarat – Swords of Iron. Details regarding the scope and agenda of these reported renewed discussions were not immediately available. This development follows previous judicial scrutiny of the Kurdistan Region's oil and gas sector. The court's decision affirms the validity of the contracts, which involve significant investment from US companies in the region's energy resources.
