The Iraqi Oil Ministry announced Tuesday that it is exploring the option of exporting oil via Lebanon's Tripoli port and is considering reopening the oil export pipeline linking Iraq and Syria, as reported by local and regional media outlets.
The ministry also stated it will establish a joint committee to evaluate the pipeline's current condition.
This announcement coincided with the visit of the Syrian Energy Minister to Baghdad, where discussions focused on cooperation in the oil, gas, and energy sectors.
