Member of Parliament Alaa al-Haidari confirmed that Iraq exports more than 4 million barrels per day through the Strait of Hormuz.
Al-Haidari explained in a televised interview that Iraq exports 4,150,000 barrels per day through the Strait of Hormuz, according to yesterday’s figures. This is more than the OPEC agreement, but exports were increased according to the global market’s need for oil.
Al-Haidari continued, stating that before the US-led war on Iran, the price of a barrel of Iraqi oil was between $60 and $65, with Iraq exporting 4.3 million barrels per day. Now, with the current discounts ranging from $25 to $27 per barrel, the price of a barrel of Iraqi oil has reached $75. He emphasized that the southern ports alone export 4.145 million barrels per day, which are shipped through the Strait of Hormuz.
He confirmed that he has a daily report on this matter, given his position as a member of the parliamentary oil and gas committee, and that these reports are issued by the Basra Oil Company, which is responsible for production and export.
