Iraq and Pakistan have reportedly signed separate agreements with Iran to transport energy

Jinse Finance reported that on May 13, Iraq and Pakistan respectively signed agreements with Iran to transport oil and liquefied natural gas from the Gulf region. According to the agreements, Iraq ensured the safe passage of two Very Large Crude Carriers, which passed through the Strait of Hormuz on May 10, each carrying about 2 million barrels of crude oil. Under another bilateral agreement between Pakistan and Iran, two tankers loaded with Qatari liquefied natural gas are heading to Pakistan.
