She pointed out that "the value of Iraqi oil revenues, according to official data, amounts to about 120 billion dollars annually, but the actual number is much more than that if we take into account the illegal export and smuggling of oil to neighboring countries, and that these astronomical numbers are sufficient to build a continent."
The platforms also confirmed, "The (Petranus) field or the Al-Gharraf oil field (north of Nasiriyah) between the Shukr Castle district and Al-Rifai district produces 200,000 barrels per day, and that the leader of the Dawa Party, Kata Najiman (Abu Mujahid) dominates it," noting that " Closing production fields will stop 83 percent of oil exports.
Activists published the names of many fields, stressing that they will be closed, and they are in the governorates of Basra, Maysan, Nasiriyah, including the Abu Zarqan field, the Abu Gharb field in Maysan, the Rumaila fields in Basra, the Zubair field, the Qurna field, the Western Qurna field, and the giant Majnoon field in the governorate. Basra, Giant Nahr Ibn Omar Field, Halfaya Field, Giant Nasiriyah Field in Dhi Qar Governorate, Al-Gharraf Field in Dhi Qar, Sinbad Field, West Al-Kifl Field, Al-Sabbah Field, Dujaila Field, Jabal Fawki Field, Nasiriyah Fields: Heath Field, Bazerkan Fields , Fakka field (Maysan) and others.
For his part, one of the coordinators of the Sadrist sit-ins, Jassem Al-Fatlawi, said that "any directives did not arrive from the leaders of the movement to close the oil fields," noting to "The New Arab", that "the Sadrist movement and all the people believe that the imports of these fields go to the pockets of the parties and the corrupt and their parties, This is the reality, and the people did not get any benefits from those imports.”
He pointed out that "the movement does not take any steps without being very deliberate, aimed at preventing corruption and looting state funds and serving the people."
The activist in the Sadrist movement, "Abu Shaham", urged the people of the southern provinces to close all the fields, and he said in a tweet to him, "The free southern people must close all the oil fields in southern Iraq, and for the reason that the people do not benefit from them, because they go into the pockets of the corrupt... We will die honorably and not be slaves to corrupt tyrants.”
On the other hand, the Iraqi journalist, Ali Al-Jabri, said in a tweet, "Through the Sadrist platforms, it seems that the next step for the protest is to close all the oil fields! This weapon, which was the framework, especially Qais Al-Khazali (leader of the Asa'ib militia) threatens the world, will It seems that he is turning against them!", stressing, "All previous protests, and stopping Iraqi oil in the current situation, will put Iraq in the fore again."
And in the event that the oil fields are already closed, the crisis will enter its most dangerous stage, especially since there are armed factions and influential parties benefiting from the export and smuggling of oil, and achieving huge financial gains from it.
Concern in the Iraqi street is compounded by the continuation of the longest political crisis in the country since the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, after militias and armed groups allied to Iran entered the crisis line, in alignment with the forces of the "coordinating framework" against the "Sadr movement" led by Muqtada al-Sadr, which topped the recent elections. conducted on the 10th of October of last year.
