Iraq's gas supply from Iran halted after strikes- Iraqi media

Iraq's gas imports from Iran have been halted following strikes on Iranian gas facilities, Iraq's electricity ministry says in a report carried in Iraqi media.

Iraq currently imports more than a third of its gas and power needs from Iran, according to the Reuters news agency.

Electricity ministry spokesman Ahmed Moussa tells the Iraqi News Agency: "As a result of the repercussions of developments in the region, Iranian gas flows to Iraq stopped completely."

No injuries reported at Iran gas facility hit by strikes

Iranian media reported that no one was killed or injured as a result of attacks on the country's petrochemical complex on the South Pars gas field.

The oil ministry says efforts to control the fire are still under way, according to the Tasnim news agency, which is affiliated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

Tasnim also reports that the attack occurred earlier on Wednesday, blaming action "by Israel and the US", saying in response "all oil and gas refineries and centres in the regime and the Gulf region in which the Americans have a stake will be targeted".

Qatar's foreign ministry spokesman, Majed Al Ansari, said earlier that the South Pars facilities were targeted by Israel.
