Iran has resumed its gas exports to Iraq at a rate of 7 million cubic feet per day, easing the latter's power shortage issues, according to a statement from Iraq's electricity ministry spokesperson on Wednesday.
The gas supply had been halted since December when Iraq faced operational challenges due to the shutdown of some power units and subsequent load shedding.
Israel accounts for 33% to 40% of Iraq's total gas and power supply, and Iraqi officials are planning to engage with Tehran to discuss future summer energy needs.
