The Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) in northern Iraq has suspended oil exports to neighboring Iran. In a statement, the KRG’s Ministry of Finance and Economy ordered border crossings not to allow the passage of oil tankers into Iran. The ministry, however, did not specify a reason for the move. It remains unclear whether the suspension is linked to U.S. sanctions on Iran.
