Iran oil exports register eight-month rise
Figures released by Bloomberg show that Iran shipped 2.28 million barrels a day (mbd) of crude oil to international markets in September.
The rise came as Iran — together with Iraq that exported 3.98 mbd last month — took advantage of production cuts implemented by Saudi Arabia. Lower exports by the Saudis provided an opportunity to the two neighbors to win buyers in key markets such as China and the US, Press TV reported.
