Iran has reduced the amount of natural gas transported to Iraq by ten times, Report mentions, citing the Iranian media.
Iran transported 50 million cubic meters of natural gas a year to Iraq. After that, its volume was reduced to 5 million cubic meters. The reason for Iran's move is that Iraq owes the Islamic Republic $ 6 billion for natural gas.
