Basra ports pump four million barrels of oil to two tankers

A source at Iraqi ports reported on Tuesday evening that two tankers are currently being loaded with four million barrels of Iraqi oil.

The source told Shafaq News Agency that “a Greek oil tanker and an Emirati tanker are currently being loaded with Iraqi crude oil from the southern Basra ports as part of the resumption of crude oil exports.”

He explained that each tanker carries two million barrels.

This comes against the backdrop of the initial understanding between Iran and America, which was announced on Sunday evening, under which the Strait of Hormuz was reopened to maritime navigation after intermittent periods of closure due to the war between Iran on one side and America and Israel on the other.
