CLEAN : Fuerzas iraquies retoman de los kurdos dos campos petroleros

Iraqi troops seized key oil fields in Kirkuk after Kurdish forces withdrew, following their push for independence. The Iraqi government, under the prime minister's orders, asserted control over Kirkuk, emphasizing unity with the Kurdish population. The central authority aimed to reestablish control over the region, which had been under Kurdish control since 2014. The Kurdish forces' control of oil fields and their subsequent independence referendum led to negotiations with Baghdad. The oil fields of Bay Hassan and Havana, producing 250,000 barrels daily, were a point of contention, as they were exported by the Kurdistan region against Iraq's central authority.
