This photograph shows the Nahr Bin Umar gas field in southern Iraq on September 17, 2026. Basra has long been a key cog in Iraq's economy but, after months of Iran choking off Gulf oil exports with its blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, the city is suffering.

Crude oil exports account for almost 90 percent of Iraq's foreign revenue, and are primarily shipped through Hormuz via the cluster of facilities around Basra, the country's only gateway to the Gulf. — AFP pic
