Iran has completely stopped exporting gas to Iraq following an Israeli attack on the South Pars gas field, Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity announced. The ministry confirmed that gas imports from Iran, which supply more than one-third of Iraq’s gas and electricity needs, have been suspended since the incident.

According to reports, Israel launched an early morning strike on Wednesday targeting the South Pars gas field, the world’s largest natural gas reserve shared by Iran and Qatar. Iran’s Fars News Agency reported that a petrochemical complex at the site caught fire after the attack. The South Pars field is jointly operated by both Iran and Qatar, each managing its own gas facilities within the field.

The disruption in gas supply could significantly affect Iraq’s electricity generation, as the country relies heavily on Iranian gas imports to meet domestic energy demand.
