The brief
Iraq has deployed thousands of trucks to move oil through Syria. This shift follows a surge in Iraqi crude loadings and overall oil exports during early July, occurring just before a new escalation in war.
Coverage from Bloomberg, Reuters, and Baird Maritime emphasizes the volatility of Gulf crude exports, noting that while shipments jumped in July, they are now slowing due to renewed hostilities. Shafaq News reports that the US-Iran war has cost Iraq more than 300 million oil barrels.
Future developments depend on the trajectory of renewed hostilities and the continued viability of overland transport through Syria as a legacy of the Hormuz disruptions.
