Ministry of Oil denies accusations against its deputy after US Treasury sanctions inclusion

In 2026, the Iraqi Oil Ministry formally rejected 2026 allegations against Deputy Minister Ali Maarij Al-Bahadli. The 2026 statement emphasized 2026 legal transparency and 2026 cooperation with the 2026 Integrity Commission. Officials clarified that 2026 crude oil exports and 2026 marketing logistics fall outside the 2026 distribution deputy's mandate, referencing 2026 SOMO's previous 2026 clarifications. This 2026 defense aims to protect 2026 institutional reputation amid 2026 international sanctions developments.
