Iraq Negotiates With Iran To Reopen Vital Oil Shipping Route
Authored by Tsvetana Paraskova via OilPrice.com,
The federal Iraqi government is in contact with Iran to persuade Tehran to allow some Iraqi oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, Iraq's Oil Minister Hayyan Abdul Ghani said on Tuesday.
“There is communication with Iran regarding allowing the passage of some Iraqi oil tankers,” the minister said in statements carried by the Iraqi News Agency (INA).
Iraq, unlike Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), doesn't have any options – even partial – to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, which has been closed for over two weeks now, forcing Baghdad to slash oil production as storage sites and tankers available in the Gulf filled up.

"Problem Is Solvable": Airline CEOs Urge Congress To End Shutdown, Pay TSA Workers
The Department of Homeland Security's social media team on X spent the weekend blaming Democrats for the travel chaos unfolding at airports nationwide, as TSA agents failed to report to work during a funding lapse caused by Senate Democrats' refusal to fund the DHS budget without reforms to ICE and Border Patrol.
"Thanks to the Democrats' shutdown, travelers at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport are again seeing MASSIVE security lines this morning," DHS said on X on Saturday. "The Democrats' political games are making spring break travel a NIGHTMARE for Americans as they continue to withhold funding from DHS and refuse to pay our heroic @TSA officers."
