While the federal government of Iraq welcomes cooperation with U.S. energy firms, Baghdad noted on Friday that direct deals with the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region violate the Iraqi constitution and need to go through the federal authorities with federal approval. Earlier this week, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in northern Iraq formalized two major energy agreements with U.S. firms HKN Energy and WesternZagros in Washington, D.C. “These agreements lay a robust foundation for the strategic development of the Topkhana energy block…

Last week, after I wrote a piece recommending buying a BTU, a coal stock that is risky by nature, several people I know declared themselves somewhat confused. They knew from earlier conversations that I am expecting at the very least a “summer swoon” for stocks and believe that a recession before the end of the year is a real possibility. Why, then, was I talking about making a short-term risky bet on a stock that had little, if any long-term upside? What I told them was that that bearish outlook is the very reason why, right now, I…

Strategically, it’s a masterstroke cloaked in diplomacy: Washington and London preserve full operational control while neutralizing a longstanding UN decolonization challenge…

Israel’s recent push to label Qatar a terrorist-supporting state is not just a reaction to Doha’s relationship with Hamas—it’s a calculated maneuver designed to derail any diplomatic opening between the United States and Iran. At the surface, the effort seems rooted in frustration over Qatar’s long-standing financial and political ties to Hamas, whose leadership has operated freely from five-star hotels in Doha. But, if you look closer, the timing and target of this campaign reveal a more strategic objective: to collapse…

U.S. President Donald Trump has taken to social media to criticize once again the UK’s energy policy to pursue renewables and tax North Sea oil and gas operators more. Referring to the UK, President Trump posted on Truth Social, “I strongly recommend to them, however, that in order to get their Energy Costs down, they stop with the costly and unsightly windmills, and incentivize modernized drilling in the North Sea, where large amounts of oil lay waiting to be taken.” “A century of drilling left, with Aberdeen as the hub.…
