Experts say Iraq oil could export within weeks
Analysts in Ummasa say allied gains secure southern oil fields and Mina al Bakr, with fires at Rumaila South nearly out. They estimate Iraq could restart exports in two to three weeks, aiding postwar reconstruction though funding and governance for proceeds remain contentious among Russia, France, Germany and China.

Sandstorm Grounds Planes and Halts Troops in Iraq
A severe sandstorm in central Iraq grounded US forces including the 61st Airborne and 101st Airborne units, reduced visibility under 100 yards aboard the USS Kitty Hawk, and forced aircraft resupply teams to ride out the storm. Troops endured 50 mph winds, gritty sand, and gear clogging their equipment as they waited for weather relief and resumed air operations.
