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

“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.
