Iraq: Gasoline Shortage Amid Regional Crisis

In Iraq, motorists are queuing at gas stations in Baghdad due to a gasoline shortage. The country, the second-largest oil producer in OPEC, is facing a decline in its stocks due to the war between the United States and Iran, which disrupts supplies through the Strait of Hormuz. Daily gasoline consumption reaches 33 million liters, while demand rises to 38 million in a panic context, prompting authorities to call for a rational use of available stocks.
