Notes

Multiple news sources from April 1-2, 2026 report Iraqi fuel convoys entering Syria specifically for transit to Baniyas refinery, and Iraq beginning oil exports via tankers through Syria. This indicates the refinery is receiving feedstock and actively processing, representing a significant operational recovery from the previously recorded damaged/0% status.
