Saeed Aqli, the head of dispatching operations at the National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC), has said that Iran continues to pump natural gas to neighboring Iraq in accordance with a gas deal between the two countries.
Noting that Iran exports gas to Iraq from two different exchange points, he said that based on an agreement reached two months ago, Iran stopped gas exports from one of these points as of the beginning of the 2024 for normal calibration processes.
He, however, stressed that Iran’s commitments are being fully implemented from the other exchange point.
Aqli added that the calibration of devices and gadgets used in the gas exports is a normal process and is not limited to exports to Iraq.
Iran exports up to 50 million cubic meters a day (mcm/d) of natural gas to Iraq under an exports agreement between the two countries.
