Iran Gas Cut Hits Iraq's Power Grid

Just read that Iran has suddenly stopped its gas supply to Iraq following an attack on the South Pars gas field.

Iraq is heavily reliant on Iran for power, and officials are now scrambling to use domestic gas and other fuels to try to make up the shortfall. This really highlights how vulnerable Iraq's energy supply is to regional tensions. https://www.thenationalnews.com/business/energy/2026/03/18/iraq-faces-power-shortage-as-iran-halts-gas-supply-after-south-pars-attack/
