Abstract

The article focuses on the ongoing negotiations between Iran and Iraq to resolve issues related to Iranian gas supply disruptions and Iraq's unpaid dues for these exports. Iran's Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad expressed optimism about a forthcoming resolution after discussions with Iraq's Electricity Minister Ziad Ali Fadhil. The gas shortfall has negatively impacted Iraq's electricity production, exacerbating challenges for its power grid during peak summer demand. Despite having the world's second-largest natural gas reserves, Iran has faced difficulties in meeting domestic needs and maintaining stable exports, leading to a reliance on burning mazut in power plants.
