The United States imported no crude oil from Iraq during the week ending July 11, according to data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).
This marks the third consecutive week of zero imports, extending a supply disruption that has kept Iraqi barrels off the US market since late June.
The absence of Iraqi crude from US refineries underscores the fragility of Middle Eastern supply chains amid ongoing geopolitical friction.
While Iranian oil exports have reportedly continued without interruption following the cancellation of a 60-day sanctions waiver, the halt in Iraqi shipments to the US represents a distinct and persistent supply gap.
Traders are weighing this structural deficit against broader market sentiment, which has remained subdued in recent sessions.
Crude oil markets showed little directional conviction last week, capping a period of low volatility as participants assessed the latest developments in US-Iran diplomatic talks.
