Iraq will stop the transfer of crude oil from the Kirkuk oil field to Iran in November, in compliance with US sanctions on Tehran, two sources said.
Two sources familiar with Iraqi oil exports said that Iraq currently exports less than 30,000 barrels per day of Kirkuk crude to Iran by truck, Reuters reported.
They added that the former Iraqi federal government reached an agreement in mid-October with the Kurdistan Regional Government to resume the export of crude to the Turkish port of Ceyhan across the Kurdish region.
They pointed out that the agreement is subject to final approval of the newly appointed Iraqi Prime Minister and Minister of Oil.
