Iraqi Oil Smuggling Links
Two leaked Iraqi intelligence documents revealed networks and Iran-backed armed factions stealing and smuggling oil from northern and central Iraq, while falsifying its origin to evade sanctions. The operations include transporting oil from Kirkuk and Sulaymaniyah to Iran through the Bashmakh and Parvizkhan crossings for re-refining and sale, as well as tapping pipelines in Jurf al-Sakhar since 2021 and moving the crude to refineries and secret depots before smuggling it to Baghdad. The reports recommended electronically tracking oil tankers and placing them under federal oversight, and launching a financial investigation to identify the stolen funds and hold those involved accountable.
