Iran Confirms Continuous Gas Exports to Iraq

Iran’s National Gas Company confirmed on Monday that gas exports to Iraq are continuing without interruption, despite ongoing regional and political tensions.

Company CEO Saeed Tavakoli told reporters on the sidelines of the Digital Transformation in Iran’s Gas Industry event that exports to Iraq “are proceeding normally and without any restrictions,” noting that gas deliveries currently exceed contractual commitments to power plants and that the national network remains stable, The Caspian Post reports citing foreign media.

The statement comes amid Iraq’s struggle to sustain electricity generation following the expiration of US sanctions waivers that had allowed Baghdad to import Iranian energy despite restrictions. The last waiver, granted under the Biden administration, expired on March 7 after a 120-day term, leaving Iraq exposed to potential supply disruptions.
