Iranian gas flows to Iraq were halted on Wednesday following an attack on Iran’s Pars gas field, a senior Iraqi official tells Reuters.
Tehran supplies between a third and 40 percent of Iraq’s gas and power needs.
Iran diverted its gas domestically following the attack, the official adds.
The attack was widely reported to have been carried out by Israel with the consent of the United States.
