Iraq in talks with Iran to allow tankers through Hormuz, minister says
Iraq’s oil minister said on Tuesday that Baghdad was in contact with Iran to allow some oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, the state news agency reported.
Iraq is also working to resume exports through the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline to Turkey as it seeks to offset shipping disruptions caused by the Hormuz crisis.
The effort followed attacks on some vessels off Iraq’s coast during transfer operations.
