Parliamentary committee to investigate oil smuggling from Jurf al-Sakhar

Jurf al-Sakhar, Iraq ·

Iraqi parliament speaker Haibat al-Halbousi ordered the formation of a temporary parliamentary committee to investigate the smuggling of oil from Jarf al-Sakhar, the Kirkuk fields and the Kurdistan Region. The route runs through Iran to Afghanistan. The order was issued on Wednesday.

Oil exports provide most of Iraq's government revenue, so smuggling of crude draws recurring attention from parliament and the government.
