rafidainscope - A severe shortage of fuel supplies has led to long queues at filling stations across Baghdad and several provinces. According to official sources within the oil distribution sector, the current crunch is largely driven by heightened regional tensions
in the Arabian Gulf and power sector disruptions, both of which have severely impacted domestic refinery output amidst surging consumer demand. Officials indicated that newly contracted fuel shipments arriving through southern ports are expected to systematically alleviate the supply deficit
within 48 hours. Meanwhile, experts and civic observers are emphasizing the urgent necessity of strictly monitoring distribution channels, curtailing illicit market trading, and reinforcing strategic reserves to insulate the domestic market from regional security fluctuations.
