Iraqi and Kurdish military commanders reached a deal late Sunday for Baghdad to deploy federal forces after clashes at the disputed key Fishkhabur border crossing, a government source told AFP.
Baghdad is seeking to secure access to its oil pipeline to the Turkish port of Ceyhan by taking the post on the borders of Turkish, Syrian and Iraqi territory.
Fishkabur is vital to both sides, with rival oil export pipelines crossing into Turkey.
