Iraq confirms that some of the tankers were granted passage permits in the Strait of Hormuz

On 22 August, according to Alabia television, the President of Iraq stated: “We discussed with the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Kalibaf, the re-examination of relations between Baghdad and Tehran, and it is true that some vessels carrying Iraqi oil are now allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. As far as the situation is concerned, I believe that the United States wishes to reach an agreement to end the war with Iran. It must be said that we are the worst war-affected countries, and the Government is doing its utmost not to get involved.” Kim Xian
