Iran resumes gas flows to Iraq at reduced levels after South Pars attack, helping stabilise electricity output, officials say

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.
