Natural gas to the Iraqi capital Baghdad that had been suspended last week after the magnitude 6.4 earthquake in Kermanshah Province, will resume soon, a spokesman for the National Iranian Gas Company said.
"The quake damaged the Sixth Iran Gas Trunkline (IGAT-6) through which gas flows to the neighboring Arab country from Naftshahr in Kermanshah Province," Majid Boujarzadeh was quoted as saying by Afkar News on Monday.
Repairs are expected to be completed soon and Iraqi energy officials will be informed as soon as the pipeline is up and running.
