Baghdad and Tehran Dispute over Strait
The article discussed the criticisms voiced by Iraqi MP Bahaa Al-Araji regarding Iran’s stance on Iraq’s oil exports. He emphasized that Baghdad has not received Iranian support in the crisis concerning the Strait of Hormuz, which threatens Iraq's vital oil exports. He pointed out that Iraq has suffered significant financial losses, exceeding $120 billion since the escalation between the US and Iran began, including approximately $48 billion lost due to halted oil sales. He warned that military escalation between Washington and Tehran could place Iraq at the heart of the conflict, leading to severe economic and security deterioration. He called for Iraq to be kept out of any military conflicts to ensure stability. Additionally, he explained that logistical obstacles—such as Iraq not possessing a sufficient fleet of oil tankers and relying on third parties for export—worsen its struggles. Iraq mainly depends on the Strait of Hormuz as a vital route for its oil exports, which constitute its primary source of income.
