Jordan and the Iraqi oil
Jordan-Iraq, Economics, 4/10/2002

Jordan has stressed that supplies of the Iraqi oil to it will not be affected by the decision taken by Iraq to stop its oil exports to the world for one month. A decision taken on Monday by Iraq in protest of the flagrant Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people.

The Jordanian minister of energy and mineral resources Muhammad al-Batayneh said that Jordan is contacting with Iraq to this effect, stressing that Jordan will not be affected by this decision because its oil supplies are made by trucks.

Other Jordanian governmental sources said that Jordan is linked to Iraq by bilateral agreements and it was never the case that Iraqi oil supplies to Jordan were obstructed despite all conditions the region had passed.
