Good morning to readers. #Oil prices have surpassed $110 per barrel (+53% pre-war).

The war in Iran expands and hits even U.S. allies in Middle East, like #Iraqi Kurds.

Kurdish businesses, like Salih's travel company, lose employees, clients and revenues. https://www.iranwar.news/p/kurdish-economy-squeezed-from-all

America’s friends in Iraq pay the price

The fighting next door to the Kurdish region of Iraq is freezing Erbil’s economy, as grounded flights, power shortages, and a dollar crunch leave business with little fiscal room to maneuver.

"Boom," said Salih Albarzinja, an Erbil businessman who owns one of the largest travel agencies in the region. His tone was casual and he sounded unfazed by the aerial #explosion of the drone that was likely targeting the U.S. #airbase next to Erbil's international #airport.
