Iraq faces petrol shortage as Iran conflict disrupts fuel imports

Iraq is facing a petrol shortage, with fuel supplies unable to pass through the Strait of Hormuz amid the conflict involving Iran. Iraq is OPEC's second-largest oil producer, but its refineries cannot meet domestic demand, leaving the country dependent on petrol imports. The disruption is putting pressure on fuel supplies in the capital and raising concerns about the impact on consumers and businesses.
