The Iraqi Electricity Ministry announced Saturday the "gradual resumption of Iranian gas supply," the country's state media, Iraqi Media Network, reported. The gas imports from Iran to Iraq started flowing again after a three-day hiatus at a rate of only five million cubic metres per day, despite the contracted amount of 50 million per day, according to Iraqi oil officials.

Iran cut off gas supplies to Iraq Wednesday, after Israel struck Iran's South Pars gas field, the largest such facility in the world that it shares with Qatar, resulting in a decrease in generation capacity from Iraq's national grid by about 3,100 megawatts.
