Iraq Health Spotlight: Kirkuk doctors pulled off Iraq’s first surgery for a rare newborn disorder, successfully correcting a peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia in a 20-day-old after advanced imaging and intensive post-op care. Violence & Care: In Baghdad, a four-year-old died after a rape and dumping in a sewage basin; police arrested three suspects and the case is tied to severe penalties under Iraq’s penal code. Strait of Hormuz Pressure: Iraq is cutting crude oil prices by up to $33 a barrel for May shipments to keep exports moving as Strait of Hormuz risks disrupt loading—shifting risk to buyers via contract terms. Regional War Spillover: Reports say Israel has operated a secret base in Iraq’s desert to support air operations against Iran, while the wider Iran–Gulf standoff continues to reshape shipping and regional alliances.
