Iraq says most cargo vessels transiting Hormuz belong to its fleet

Oil Minister Bassem Mohammad Khadeer says the majority of oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz belong to Iraq. Iraq managed to export four million barrels of oil in a single day in September, Kadeer said, adding the daily average this month stands at 2.6 million barrels a day. At the beginning of September, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said “at least 10 million barrels” were passing through the strait each day.
