Iraq's oil ministry has cut supplies of some fuel products to the northern Kurdish region by 50% in response to the Kurds selling what they say is excess kerosene, fuel waste and naptha to Iran, Reuters has reported. The decision was ordered by oil minister Hussain Al Shahristani, ministry documents showed. "Based on instructions from the oil minister, it was decided to cut the allocation of kerosene and diesel fuel sent to provinces in the Kurdish region by 50% until further notice," one document said.
