Iran halts gas supply to Iraq following attack on South Pars facilities

Iraq’s Electricity Ministry announced that Iranian gas supplies have ceased, resulting in a loss of approximately 3,100 megawatts of power generation. This disruption follows missile strikes reported at Iran’s South Pars gas field, the largest natural gas field globally. Iraq relies on Iranian gas for a significant portion of its electricity, receiving 50 million cubic meters daily, which accounts for one-third of its needs. The situation raises concerns over potential US or Israeli strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure amidst ongoing regional tensions.
