One of the reasons delayed Iran’s gas exports to Basra is that gas pipeline in the Iraqi city had not been ready yet, however the pipelines are ready to be used now, he said.

He also said Iran’s gas exports to Basra would officially begin soon.

Iran and Iraq signed a MoU last year to export gas to two power plants in Baghdad and Basra.
