[QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [QB] this should raise some eyebrows.... [b]Iran and Iraq look to heal old wounds with oil deal By Christian Oliver REUTERS 12:17 p.m. July 19, 2005 TEHRAN – Old foes Iran and Iraq on Tuesday signed an oil deal they hope will pave the way to further diplomatic rapprochement between them. The signing was the keystone of a visit to Iran by an Iraqi ministerial delegation led by Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari, the first Iraqi leader to visit Tehran in decades. Advertisement Iran and Iraq bludgeoned each other to a standstill in a war between 1980 and 1988 characterized by trench warfare and gas attacks. Hundreds of thousands of people were killed. Starting to rebuild bridges, Iraq signed a preliminary agreement to export 150,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude from the southern city of Basra to Abadan refinery in southwest Iran, a spokeswoman for Iran's oil ministry said. In return, fuel-starved Iraq will import gasoline, gas oil and kerosene across its eastern border. Iraqi Oil Minister Ibrahim Bahr al-Uloum has said the project could be running within a year as pipeline construction should take only three to six months. The United States has reservations about growing ties between the two neighbors, but the language from Iranian and Iraqi officials alike has been warm throughout the visit.
