Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein said oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz have resumed after understandings with the United States and Iran, according to an Al Jazeera interview that Reuters also reported on Sunday^1,2.

Reuters said Hussein described understandings with Washington that would let Iraqi crude move through Hormuz using a shipping lane near Oman¹. Al Jazeera's account of the same interview said the understandings involved both Washington and Tehran².

Hussein put Iraq's losses from the Iran war and the halt in Hormuz oil exports at about $60 billion, both outlets reported^1,2.

Iraqi energy officials told Reuters that exports recovered in October to about 3.5 million barrels per day after falling to 2.65 million barrels per day in September¹.

Al Jazeera's Saturday write-up of the interview focused mainly on security: Hussein said Iraq has evidence that external parties used its territory to launch attacks on neighboring countries and that Baghdad is investigating strikes on Gulf states².

He said Saudi Arabia has accused Iran-aligned groups in Iraq of hitting its oil infrastructure, and that Baghdad wants to settle disagreements with Riyadh through talks².

On relations with Tehran and Washington, Hussein said the United States formally asked Iraq to close all but two border crossings with Iran, Al Jazeera reported². He said Iraq welcomes friendship with Iran but rejects interference in its internal affairs².

Neither outlet published a U.S. or Iranian government comment on the Hormuz shipping arrangement in these articles^1,2. Al Jazeera said the full interview was scheduled to air Sunday at 1800 GMT².
