TEHRAN — Iraq is still interested in exchanging crude with Iran, Iran’s deputy oil minister said yesterday, adding he hoped the formation of a new cabinet in Baghdad would clear the way for such swaps.

Any deal with Iran could be highly problematic for the Iraqi administration, backed by US forces, while Washington remains at loggerheads with Tehran. http://www.omanobserver.com/wnews2.htm
