Gasoline shipments are now moving from Syria to Iraq by road, creating a two-way energy corridor after the war with Iran disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Reuters reports. The first shipment, about 32,800 metric tons of gasoline, arrived by tanker at Syria’s Baniyas refinery before being transferred to trucks. Syrian officials said 77 tanker trucks have already departed for Iraq, with additional deliveries expected under an agreement involving Syria’s state-owned petroleum company and Qatar’s UCC Holding.
