Iraq Seeks Oil Tankers for Hormuz Strait Runs

Iraq is in the process of trying to hire multiple tankers to transit the Strait of Hormuz as Baghdad steps up efforts to get its crude to global markets. That is the Friday 4 September 2026 stamp (Khalid Al Ansary, 4 September 2026, 11:58 AM EDT). Friday’s South Korea Hormuz naval package, WTI retreat below $89, and US diesel record stay separate tapes.

Cabinet approved. State tanker company is hiring.

The government has already begun the process through state-run Iraqi Oil Tankers Co., a government spokesman said in a text message. The step was already approved by the country’s cabinet. The page does not stamp a tanker count or a barrel figure — none are invented here. This note does not claim Hormuz is reopened.
