Iran resumes gas deliveries to Turkey

Iran has resumed delivery of natural gas to Turkey after a week-long halt caused by a blast in the pipeline, says an Iranian official.

"The export of gas to Turkey, halted due to explosion, was resumed at 14:26 p.m. local time on Thursday", Press TV quoted the spokesman for the National Iranian Gas Company, Majid Boujarzadeh, as saying. 

The supply of natural gas from Iran to Turkey was disrupted on August 11 after an explosion damaged a section of the gas pipeline in Turkey's eastern province of Agri, which borders Iran.
