Both are in parts of northern Iraq outside the KRG-controlled locale yet held by Kurdish powers since ISIL contenders were driven out.

The peshmerga shut streets to Kirkuk at an opportune time Thursday after Kurdish experts cautioned that the Iraqi government was moving powers toward the city. They revived them later in the day.

A main authority of a Kurdish restriction party offered late on Thursday to break up the Kurdish organization of Kirkuk and go into "genuine arrangements" with Baghdad over the city.
