Notes
Multiple news reports from March 2026 indicate that most of Iraq's oil activities and projects have been halted due to war conditions, including Iranian drone and missile strikes on regional oil fields. Reports specifically mention Iraq's southern oil output dropping 70% and Iraqi oil shutdowns occurring as a result of regional military escalation.
