Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAround 30 million barrels of Iraqi crude oil passed through the Strait of Hormuz between July 4 and August 4, according to data from maritime tracking firm Kpler.
Before the Middle East war, which choked shipments through the vital waterway, Iraq produced around four million barrels per day, and exported an average of 105 million barrels per month, mostly from its Basra oil terminal via Hormuz.
Separately, a Syrian official lays out a timeline of around three years to restore a key pipeline between the two countries.
