Iraq Exposes Iran’s Forged Oil Documents—A Global Scandal Unfolds!

Iraq has accused Iran of using forged Iraqi documents on oil tankers seized by US naval forces in the Gulf.

Iraqi Oil Minister Hayan Abdel Ghani confirmed that the detained vessels were Iranian, using fake Iraqi shipping manifests to evade sanctions.

Iran denies the allegations, calling them baseless and blaming US officials for spreading misinformation. But reports suggest a deeper smuggling network at play.

Investigations reveal a billion-dollar oil smuggling operation, funneling subsidized Iraqi fuel to Asia—allegedly benefiting Iran and militias in the region.

Iraq insists it has no role in smuggling Iranian crude, stating that its exports are tightly regulated and sold only to companies with refineries.

To combat fraud, Iraq is implementing new measures—satellite tracking of tankers, mandatory contract disclosures, and public export reports.
