Iraq in talks with Iran to allow oil tankers through Strait of Hormuz

Iraq’s oil minister says Baghdad is in contact with Iran to allow some oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, the state news agency reports.

Iraq is also working to resume exports through the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline to Turkey as it seeks to offset disruptions to shipments caused by the Hormuz crisis, after some vessels were attacked off the Iraqi coast during transfers.
