Iraq Exported 10 Million Barrels via Hormuz in April, Minister Confirms

🛢️ BAGHDAD — Iraq's April figures confirm exactly what Baghdad stands to lose. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Ten million barrels through Hormuz in April means Iraq is almost entirely blockade-captive — no meaningful bypass exists. Baghdad has stayed quiet on the war, but these numbers explain why: Iraq can't afford to pick a side while its entire export artery is controlled by the US-Iran standoff. Every week Hormuz stays closed costs Baghdad hundreds of millions. Watch for Iraqi pressure on Tehran to quietly surface.
