Iran to Supply Gas to Switzerland

Iran has finalised a deal with Switzerland to supply natural gas, Press TV has reported citing an official. 

“We are currently in talks with Turkey to win the right for gas transit via this country [to Europe],” Javad Owji, who is also managing director of National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC), said on Friday.

Owji also said Iran would start pumping natural gas to neighboring Iraq in summer.

“Gas exports to this country will start with seven million cubic meters (mcm) a day and will gradually rise to 25 mcm a day,” he said.

He went on to say that Iran will export gas to Iraq through two pipelines, one of which supplies gas to Iraq’s Al-Baghdad and Al-Mansouriyah power plants with the other one delivering gas to the Iraqi port city of Basra, Press TV reported.
