Kirkuk oil to ease US sanctions on the Iranian revolutionary

Tehran also has economic objectives in the control of its militias over the city ...

 

 Sabah Al Saadi

 11/11/2017 - 22:31

 

 

 

Iran's support for Iraqi forces and popular mobilization militias was not only when it entered Kirkuk for political and expansionist purposes. It turned out that Tehran aspired to further economic gains at the expense of the Kurdish and Arab peoples, especially after the intensive Iranian move to export Kirkuk oil to it at a rate of more than 60,000 barrels per day.

Adnan Karkuki, a spokesman for the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) leadership council in Kirkuk-Garmian, told Basnews that 36,000 liters of tankers had been started since the reopening of the border crossing of Bakhmakh, transferring Kirkuk oil to Iran.

Karkuki pointed out that these tanks are loaded from the Ki-Wan field in Kirkuk, which contains 16 oil wells controlled by the popular militia, and goes to the crossing of Pashmakh and from there to Iran, adding that the Kirkuk oil tankered in front of the eyes of the people of Bashmakh and Kermanshah, Other, and sold at prices well below market prices. "

The Iraqi oil minister Jabbar Ali al-Allaibi announced the signing of a preliminary agreement between Iraq and Iran to export oil from the fields of Kirkuk to Iran at the rate of 30-60 thousand barrels per day, which can be increased through trucks until the completion of the extension of an oil pipeline for this purpose. Although the figures are much larger than that, but more than twice that and issued for the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.

Al-Allaibi said in a statement that this agreement contributes to the addition of a new export port of Iraq, which contributes to the discharge of Kirkuk oil and achieve economic feasibility of the country, as well as strengthening economic relations with neighboring countries, he said.

But the Kurdistan Regional Government has refused to export Kirkuk oil to Iran since its control of the province, as well as differences that were related to this file with the federal government in Baghdad.

The Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Natural Resources and Energy in the Parliament of Kurdistan, Dalshad Shaaban that the export of the federal government of Kirkuk oil to Iran aims to raise legal problems in the province, where Baghdad and Tehran have been trying for a long time to extend a pipeline to transport crude oil from Kirkuk to Iranian territory.

He said Shaaban export of Kirkuk oil to Iran a breach of the federal government of economic sanctions imposed by the international community on the Iranian regime, as well as in violation of international conventions, those sanctions are still imposed on Iran has not been lifted completely.

Oil up companies Revolutionary Guards

According to media reports, the Iranian Ministry of Oil will transfer the Kirkuk oil to 4 refineries, namely Carmashan, Arak, Tehran and Tabriz.

The Kreman refinery follows the Iranian Revolutionary Guard with a capacity of 25 barrels of oil per day. A section of oil is provided in Kremshan and the other in southern Iran. The refinery is granted 280 billion riyals to the private sector.

According to observers, the implementation of this project was one of the reasons for the invasion of the city of Kirkuk by the popular militia to promote Iran's economic gains, especially after the US Treasury Department put Iran's Revolutionary Guard on the sanctions list with the withdrawal of US President Donald Trump, acknowledging Iran's commitment to the nuclear agreement and forwarded to Congress.

The decision to tighten the screws on the Revolutionary Guard and its financial resources, came the invasion of Kirkuk in conjunction with the announcement of sanctions on the Revolutionary Guard, and start after the Ministry of Oil to talk about the agreement with Iran at a remarkable speed.

The US administration is still silent on the violation of international law and the delivery of oil to companies belonging to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, and is expected in the coming days to announce Washington's position on this issue.

A report published by Reuters, that the control of Iraqi forces on Kirkuk means the removal of oil wells in the oil-rich province of the authority of the Kurdistan Regional Government, while Iran does not hide its pursuit.

 "Besides the political files there is Kirkuk oil. It is a key element for the OPEC member Iran. We can not allow Iran's enemies to control these fields because that would be catastrophic for us," an Iranian official told Reuters. 

But the oil expert Ali Hassan ruled out the ability of the Iraqi government to start a project to extend an oil pipeline from the fields of Kirkuk to Iranian refineries, with the current financial crisis and low oil prices, as happened when Iraq signed an agreement with Jordan in 2013 to extend an oil pipeline from the fields of Basra to Aqaba through Anbar, but has not been able to do so yet.

Hussein said in a statement to (Basneoz) that the attempts of the Iraqi government may not succeed in the export of Kirkuk oil to Iranian refineries, so they are still using pipelines in the Kurdistan Region.  

According to information obtained by Basnoyz, a wing in the Kurdistan National Union party to this agreement between the Iraqi government and the Iranian side in exchange for a percentage of oil revenues exported through the tanks of millions of dollars, and this wing is Pavel Talabani and Aras and Lahore Talabani, Planned oil transit through the city of Sulaymaniyah, the national stronghold of Kurdistan.

In turn, the head of the Foundation for the Future in Washington, Antifad Qanbar, submitted a memorandum to the US Congress that the military operation carried out by the Government of Baghdad to control Kirkuk was to control the oil, the presence of the commander of the Iranian Quds Force General Qassim Soleimani, noting that the preparation of the control of Iran On the oil fields of Kirkuk, which is one of the largest oil fields in the world, which is equivalent to production production of the United Arab Emirates.

Qanbar said in a statement to Arab media that Kirkuk will serve Tehran as oil, as an extension of land to its borders, in addition to making it a land crossing to Syria through the provinces of Diyala and Nineveh.
