Iran has exported 400,000 tons of gas oil (diesel) to Iraq since the beginning of the Iranian calendar year on March 21, 2009.
Managing Director of the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company (NIOPDC) Farid Ameri said Iran supplies Iraqi power plants with different kinds of fuel. He added that Iraq had imported 90,000 tons of kerosene and 6,000 tons of jet fuel from Iran over the same period.

Iran has bought about two mm barrels of gas oil from Singapore for December delivery to meet its rising winter heating demands.
Ameri went on to say that Iran is in talks with Pakistan and Armenia to supply its neighbouring states with liquefied gas fuel. He added that Iran started to export gasoline and gas oil to Afghanistan to tackle the problem of fuel smuggling into the country.
