Iraq says it transported 2 million barrels of crude via Strait of Hormuz
Iraq says it has moved 2 million barrels of crude oil through the Strait of Hormuz, instead of delivering it at the port of Basra. Iraq earlier got Iranian permission for its tankers to pass the strait, which Iran has effectively closed during its conflict with the US. This affects oil importers and anyone tracking fuel costs, so watch crude prices and shipping routes closely.
