Iraqi Foreign Minister: The export of oil through the Strait of Hormuz will continue.

Iraqi Foreign Minister Fouad Hussein announced that the export of Iraqi oil through the Strait of Hormuz, with the support of US forces, began about a month and a half to two months ago, and has now reached 3.2 million barrels per day.

He noted that Iraq began exporting through this route at a rate of 2.2 million barrels per day, before that figure recently rose.

In response to a question about the possibility that Iran would oppose this route, Hussein said that he did not know Tehran's position on the issue, and emphasized that the export of Iraqi oil through the strait will continue, as this is the main route for the export of Iraqi oil.

The Iraqi foreign minister also announced the export of 500,000 barrels of oil per day through the oil pipeline from the Kurdistan region to Turkey.
