Iran Resumes Gas Supplies to Iraq Following Attack on South Pars Field
Iran has resumed gas supplies to Iraq at a rate of five million cubic metres per day, according to the Iraqi electricity ministry. The supplies were previously halted after Israel attacked Iran's main gas field, South Pars, on Wednesday. While the current volume is a fraction of the contracted 50 million cubic metres, Iraqi officials anticipate a gradual increase. The resumption has brought stability to Iraq's national grid, which recorded 14,000 megawatts of production, highlighting the critical interdependence of energy infrastructure in the volatile West Asia region.
