> Iraqi energy expert Nabil al-Marsoumi says tankers carrying Iraq’s domestically produced oil use the “Omani route” through the Strait of Hormuz and turn off their automatic identification systems there. He denies claims that Iran granted the vessels an exemption or that Baghdad pays transit fees, saying shipments involve ADNOC and often use transshipment.
