An Iraqi lawmaker, Hamid al-Moussawi, has raised a serious warning about what could happen if Iraq’s oil exports stop because of the ongoing war in the Middle East.
He said the situation is getting more dangerous, especially with threats to key routes like the Strait of Hormuz. If that route is blocked, it could hit Iraq’s economy hard. The country depends heavily on oil money, so any disruption could directly affect people’s daily lives.
Al-Moussawi explained it in simple terms: Iraq relies almost entirely on oil revenue. If exports stop, it’s not just an economic issue—it becomes a problem for ordinary citizens trying to live their lives.
He also shared that Parliament is getting ready to step in. Officials plan to meet with government bodies and experts to talk about the risks and come up with quick solutions. The goal is to be ready for any sudden crisis and protect the country’s financial stability.
He stressed that this is not the time to wait and see what happens. Iraq needs to act now. That means finding other ways to export oil and using diplomacy to keep trade routes open.
In his view, Iraq cannot afford to stay passive while such major threats are growing. The country needs a clear plan to protect its economy before things get worse.
