Iraq begins fuel oil exports via Syria amid Strait of Hormuz closure
Iraq begins exporting fuel oil via Syria using overland routes as Strait of Hormuz disruptions force a shift from maritime shipments, impacting output and logistics.
Iraq’s Oil Ministry announced on Thursday that it has begun exporting fuel oil via Syria, marking a significant shift in export routes following disruptions to the Strait of Hormuz caused by the ongoing war on Iran.
In a statement, the ministry said the fuel oil would be transported overland by truck, adding that export volumes are expected to gradually increase in a move aimed at supporting Iraq’s economy. The development reflects Baghdad’s effort to maintain energy exports despite maritime constraints in the
Gulf.
Land route revived after decades

Discussions surrounding alternative export routes, including pipelines, had begun as early as December 2025, as Iraq explored contingency plans amid rising regional tensions.
