(IraqiNews.com) Reuters revealed on Friday that an oil tanker from Iraq’s Kurdistan region, blocked for months from unloading its cargo in Texas under a lawsuit filed by the Iraqi government, had sailed back to the Mediterranean Sea and delivered its cargo to Israel.

The agency quoted commercial sources and data of tracking ships, “An oil tanker from Iraq’s Kurdistan was blocked for months from unloading its cargo in Texas under a lawsuit filed by Baghdad, it sailed back to the Mediterranean Sea and delivered its cargo to Israel.”

This week, the data showed that the tanker was sailing at full charge toward the Israeli port of Ashkelon before shutting down satellite communications on February 22nd . It appeared again on Friday, empty, according to Reuters.
