Baghdad gas queues amid lower Strait exports
The article discusses the deterioration of gasoline supplies in Iraq due to declining imports via the Strait of Hormuz, with long lines appearing at fuel stations in Baghdad. Despite being the second-largest oil producer within OPEC, Iraq relies on importing petroleum derivatives to meet domestic demand, which is increasing with a daily consumption of up to 33 million liters.

Officials have assured that shipments will arrive soon to compensate for the shortage, while urging residents not to crowd or rush to fuel stations.
