In rapid succession, five occurrences have taken place in Iraq. They are the first stages in an intensifying new dynamic in power politics. Let me briefly review. - A December 27 missile assault on the K-1 airbase in Kirkuk in which one U.S. contract employee died. The U.S. has blamed the Iranian-backed, Iraqi-manned Kata'ib Hezbollah (KH) militia. KH is a subgrouping in the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), an umbrella organization of over 40 Iraqi militia groups, mostly Shiite. KH denied the charge. - On December 29, the U.S. in retaliation hit five KH supply, command, and control locations in Iraq and Syria. Those strikes resulted in 25 dead and 55 injured. - On December 31, in response to the casualties from the U.S. strike, a crowd attacked the US embassy in Baghdad. - On January 3, Iranian Quds Force commander General Qasem Soleimani and Iraqi deputy PMF head Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis were killed by a U.S. drone strike at Baghdad Airport. "The Engineer" (i.e., the translation of "Abu Mahdi"; the fellow's given name was Jamal Ja'far Muhammad Ali Al Ibrahim) coordinated PMF groups closely aligned with Quds. - On January 8, Iranian missiles struck two Iraqi bases housing U.S. military personnel (Al-Asad in Western Iraq and Irbil in northern Iraqi Kurdistan). No injuries were reported at either target. The first four of these took place while I was outside the U.S. at meetings to discuss strategic energy issues and the investment developments issuing from them. Those sessions took place onboard a ship in waters off the British West Indies. I returned from the eastern Caribbean late Sunday. What has been unfolding in the Persian Gulf fundamentally altered the directions of our discussions. Nonetheless, a consensus is emerging among major global energy investors on what to emphasize in the sector moving forward as the tensions intensify. Another round of talks will take place this weekend, this time via conference call. I'll have more to say on all of this next week here in Oil and Energy Investor.
