..and if we needed to build something from Iraq out I'm sure that can be arranged.

Iraq has a northern pipeline, running into Turkey. Apparently, it is currently idle, due to some snit between the Baghdad government, and the Kurds, through whose territory the pipe runs.

If you were the Saudis, would you be comfortable depending on the good will of luminaries like "Bibi", Smotrich, and Katz to be able to export? I wouldn't be comfortable depending on them for a moment.
