Iranian Deputy Oil Minister for International Affairs Ali Majedi said on Tuesday that Iran is expected to start its gas exports to Iraq in early 2015 should the terrorist activities stop in that country.


Majedi noted that Tehran hopes to start its gas exports to Iraq after restoration of security in Iraq.

On July 21, 2013, Iranian and Iraqi oil ministers signed the first deal to transfer Iranˈs natural gas to two Iraqi power plants. The project is aimed at supplying Al-Baghdad and Al-Mansouriyah power plants in Iraq with 25 million cubic meters per day of natural gas.

Iraq has been facing a serious crisis since the so-called "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant" [ISIS] overran parts of the country.
