Iraq's economy is coming under pressure from the fallout of the war involving Iran, with disrupted oil exports, costlier imports and a weaker dinar exposing the country's dependence on oil revenue and foreign goods, according to Al Jazeera.

The report links falling oil revenues and rising prices directly to the disruption, though it did not specify exact figures for the decline in exports or the extent of currency depreciation.

Iraq's economy has long been heavily reliant on oil exports, leaving it vulnerable to regional instability and disruptions in trade routes and markets.
