\u00a0Iraqi government forces captured the major Kurdish-held oil city of Kirkuk on Monday, responding to a Kurdish referendum on independence with a bold lightning strike that transforms the balance of power in the country.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A convoy of armoured vehicles from Iraq\u2019s elite U.S.-trained Counter-Terrorism Force seized Kirkuk\u2019s provincial government headquarters less than a day after the operation began, a Reuters reporter in Kirkuk said.<\/p>\n

Neither side gave a casualty toll for the operation. But an aid organisation working in Kirkuk said several Kurdish Peshmerga fighters and members of the Iraqi forces had been killed in an overnight clash south of Kirkuk – the only serious fighting reported.<\/p>\n

As Iraqi forces advanced, Kurdish operators briefly shut some 350,000 barrels per day of oil output at two large Kirkuk fields, citing security concerns, oil ministry sources on both sides said. But production resumed shortly thereafter following an Iraqi threat to seize fields under Kurdish management if they did not do so, according to the sources.<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear whether or when the Iraqi government would seek to retake control of all Kirkuk oilfields, a vital source of revenue for the autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG).<\/div>\n

The short suspension in production helped push up world oil prices LCOc1 as the shutdown represented more than half of total Kurdish output.[O\/R]\n

Fighting between Baghdad and the Kurds could open an entirely new front in Iraq\u2019s 14-year-old civil war and potentially draw in regional powers such as Turkey and Iran.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump said the United States would not take sides in the clash but expressed disappointment the two sides were in conflict.<\/p>\n

The U.S. military said its commanders in Iraq were urging Iraqi and Kurdish forces to avoid escalation and played down reports of fighting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe support the peaceful exercise of joint administration by the central and regional governments, consistent with the Iraqi constitution, in all disputed areas,\u201d the U.S. State Department said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Trump told reporters at the White House: \u201cWe don\u2019t like the fact that they\u2019re clashing. We\u2019re not taking sides.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had for many years a very good relationship with the Kurds as you know and we\u2019ve also been on the side of Iraq, even though we should have never been there in the first place,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Washington arms and trains both Iraqi federal forces and the Peshmerga to fight Islamic State militants.<\/p>\n

THOUSANDS OF KURDS FLEE<\/h3>\n

A dozen Iraqi armoured vehicles arrived at the provincial government headquarters in Kirkuk and took up positions nearby, alongside local police. They pulled down the Kurdish flag and left the Iraqi flag flying.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thousands of Kurdish civilians fled the city of 1 million people for fear of reprisals. A Kurdish father of four who was driving out of Kirkuk towards the Kurdish regional capital Erbil to the north said: \u201cWe no longer feel safe. We hope to return to our home but right now we feel it\u2019s dangerous for us to stay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crowds of ethnic Turkmen who opposed Kurdish control of the city were celebrating. Some drove in convoys with Iraqi flags and fired shots in the air.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis day should become a holiday, we\u2019re so happy to have gotten rid of Barzani\u2019s party,\u201d said a man celebrating on a motorbike, waving the blue-and-white flag of Iraq\u2019s Turkmen, referring to the Kurdish leader Masoud Barzani.<\/p>\n

The Iraqi government considers the Sept. 25 Kurdish independence referendum illegal, especially as it was held not just in the autonomous KRG region but in Kirkuk and other adjacent areas that Kurdish Peshmerga forces occupied after driving out Islamic State militants in 2014.<\/p>\n

The Peshmerga moved in after Iraqi government forces collapsed in the face of a rapid onslaught by Islamic State, preventing the jihadists from seizing the oilfields.<\/p>\n

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi ordered the national flag hoisted over Kirkuk and other disputed areas.<\/p>\n

Baghdad described its army\u2019s advance as largely unopposed, and urged the Peshmerga to cooperate in keeping the peace.<\/p>\n

The Peshmerga said Baghdad would be made to pay \u201ca heavy price\u201d for triggering \u201cwar on the Kurdistan people\u201d.<\/p>\n

MOVE AGAINST KURDISH SECESSION<\/h3>\n
The overnight advance was the most decisive step Baghdad has taken yet to block the independence bid of the Kurds, who have long governed an autonomous tract of northern Iraq and voted three weeks ago to secede.<\/strong><\/div>\n

Kirkuk, one of the most ethnically and religiously diverse cities in Iraq, is located just outside the autonomous Kurdish zone. Kurds consider it the heart of their homeland; they say it was cleansed of Kurds and settled with Arabs under former President Saddam Hussein to secure control of the oil.<\/p>\n

U.S. Defense Department spokesman Colonel Robert Manning declined to speculate on whether Washington might cut off military aid and training to Iraqi forces in the event of a major conflict.<\/p>\n

SECESSION OPPOSED BY NEIGHBOURS<\/h3>\n

The Kurdish secession bid was strongly opposed by neighbours Iran and Turkey. Washington, allied with the Kurds for decades, pleaded in vain for them to halt a vote that could break up Iraq.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There were signs of internal strife among the Kurds, who have been divided for decades into two main factions, the KDP of regional government leader Barzani and the PUK of his late rival Jalal Talabani.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
