Urgency: Context · Evidence: Primary source
EIA's preliminary country-of-origin table records zero US crude imports from Iraq in the weeks ending September 25 and October 2. Shafaq highlighted the consecutive zero readings in an October 11 report. These historical weekly estimates do not establish that Iraq stopped exporting oil to all destinations.
What the sources establish
The inspected EIA table supports both dated zero readings. Shafaq relays the same dataset, not independent corroboration. This is primary-source statistical evidence, not a shipment audit. No conflicting reading was found; preliminary estimates may be revised and their cause is not established. Event time represents Shafaq's fresh report minute, not a new EIA release or cargo event. The rounded Iraqi marker denotes the origin country, not vessels or export infrastructure.
