Iraq's Oil Tankers Company successfully transported two million barrels of Iraqi crude oil through the strategic Strait of Hormuz. According to the director general of the state-run company, the cargo was carried aboard a very large crude carrier (VLCC).

The operation highlights ongoing efforts by Iraq to manage its petroleum logistics and export capabilities through the vital maritime chokepoint, which serves as a major route for global oil shipments from the Middle East.
