Iranian gas to Iraq resumes after South Pars attack, Iraqi state news agency says

Iranian gas supplies to Iraq have resumed ⁠at a rate of five ⁠million cubic metres ‌per day, ​the Iraqi electricity ministry said on Saturday, according to the state news agency.

Flows had ​been halted ⁠after Israel attacked Iran's main gas field, South Pars, on Wednesday.

The current ⁠five ‌million cubic metres is a fraction of ‌the contracted 50 million cubic ⁠metres. Iraqi officials say volumes will increase gradually, ‌but have ‌provided neither a timeframe nor ‌details of the ‌damage to the Iranian gas facilities.

"Following the resumption of Iranian ⁠gas ⁠supplies, the national grid has recorded stability in production at 14,000 megawatts," Ahmed Moussa, an electricity ministry spokesperson, was quoted as ​saying by the state ​news agency.
