Iran Cuts Gas Exports to Turkey by 70% Citing Fault, Turkey Says

Iran cut gas exports to Turkey by 70% due to a fault ahead of peak winter demand, Turkey’s state-owned grid operator said.

The amount of gas pumped to Turkey was reduced from Jan. 1 due to a malfunction on the Iranian network, Turkey’s state pipeline operator Botas said in a statement on Saturday, adding that Turkish authorities urged Iran to solve the problem as soon as possible.
