Gas resumed flowing from Iran, Iraq’s electricity ministry said Saturday, after a strike on an Iranian facility caused a three-day stoppage. “Iranian gas flow to Iraq resumed at a rate of five million cubic metres” per day, electricity ministry spokesman Ahmed Moussa told state news.

Most households rely on private generators to compensate for daily power cuts.
