Iran warns of domestic gas shortages from war this winter

Iran's government has warned of worsening internal gas shortages this winter after damage to processing plants in ⁠the war with the US. "If ​the level of consumption is high, it is possible that gas cuts ⁠will occur all over the country including in Tehran," government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani said. Iran, a major oil producer, ⁠controls part of the world's biggest natural gasfield but has ​sometimes ⁠faced difficulty meeting domestic demand ‌because of outdated equipment, worsened by international sanctions. It is now ​subject to a US blockade of its ports.
