Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Iraq’s Hor Mor natural gas field in Sulaymaniyah province was struck, halting production and cutting gas deliveries to power plants across five locations. The disruption is expected to wipe out 2,500 to 2,800 megawatts of electricity generation in the region. The outage matters because it strains Iraq’s already fragile power supply, which is heavily dependent on gas feedstock for generation. Watch for damage assessments and restart timelines at Hor Mor, and for whether Baghdad turns to alternative fuel or imports to offset the lost capacity.
