Iran’s Oil Minister Rostam
Qasemi announced today that Turkmenistan has suspended supplying gas to Iran.
Turkmenistan is contractually obliged to supply 14 bcm of gas per year to Iran
through Korpeje-Kordkuy and Dauletabad-Sarakhs-Khangiran pipelines. (Trend, 15
November)
Iran’s annual gas production is 152 bcm, while it consumes some 153 bcm per year, and exports 10 bcm to Turkey. Turkmenistan’s move to stop gas exports to Iran would create shortage for the country during the winter high season, forcing Iran either to stop exports to Turkey or cut domestic consumption. Meanwhile, Turkmenistan has significantly increased its gas exports to China.

This is what happens when you have a illiterate and backward fascist Islamic theocracy occupying the country.
If it wasn't for the Qajars Turkmenistan and its gas would have stayed Iranian. It's ironic that we are buying something that belonged to us in the first place.
Anon 3:53 PM....Thank you for that comment.
The Qajars and their leftovers,the present regime are two sides of the same coin.
This regime seems to be more interested in a few kilos uranium and feeding the Syrians and Lebanese instead of developing its huge reserves of gas(2nd in world after Russia).
So what do these retards do?
Import instead of exporting gas around the world.
And who benefits?
The Russians and Qatar of course.
The gas has been restored. It was off for one day per Iran's request to recalculate flow, repairs and other maintenance issues.
