The Iraqi army is reportedly preparing to take control of the Qambar oil field, located within the disputed area near the border between Diyala and Sulaymaniyah provinces, currently under Peshmerga control.

According to the pro-Asaib Ahl al-Haq TV channel "Al-Ahd", citing security sources, tension and unrest have escalated around the Qambar oil field, which lies between Diyala and Sulaymaniyah in the area known as Dwanza Imam village. An Iraqi army unit has reportedly moved toward the area, with preparations underway to establish federal authority over this strategic location. Peshmerga leaders view this move as provocative and warn that it could trigger a crisis.

Sources noted that the area is currently under the control of forces affiliated with the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK). Amid warnings of potential armed clashes in one of the most disputed areas between the federal and regional governments, local villagers have expressed concern over recent unusual military activity, including the presence of unidentified troops.

Political sources familiar with the situation predict the crisis could escalate in the coming days if Baghdad and Erbil fail to take coordinated steps to de-escalate tensions and prevent any armed conflict—raising fears of a broader threat to the stability of the disputed boundary between Diyala and Sulaymaniyah.
