️🇮🇶 Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi pledged to build pipelines that would allow Iraq to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, and described the project as Iraq's "third river".

"The bitter experience we went through - just imagine Iraq today if we had these pipelines. Each million is equivalent to two million; If we sell three and a half, that means we sell 7 million every day.

This difference was reflected in services and development - there were more schools, hospitals and roads.

But what did we get? We gained nothing; Rather, we suffered greatly from this crisis. Did any of the previous governments ever think about creating alternatives?

God willing, this will be Iraq's third river, which will bring benefits," he said.
