An oil deal similar to the one between the Kurdistan Region and Turkey is expected to be signed between Iran and Kurdistan.

BasNews has been informed that the Kurdish agreement with Tehran is in its final stage. Kurdish MP Sherko Jawdat revealed that they have advised the government not to sign the agreement until they have given details of the accord to Kurdistan Parliament.

Jawdat told BasNews that during last week’s meeting Kurdish MPs and Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani spoke of Kurdish oil and gas export via Iran and that the agreement was close to being finalized.

The Kurdistan Region has so far exported oil through Turkey however the identity of the buyers has not been revealed with a number of reports claiming oil has not been sold due to pressure from Iraq and the US.
