Investing.com — According to Bloomberg News, citing sources familiar with the matter, Iran has stopped exporting natural gas to Turkey after Israel’s airstrike on the South Pars gas field on March 18.

According to data from the Turkish Natural Gas Distribution Association, Turkey imported about 14% of its natural gas from Iran last year.

Sources familiar with the matter said that Ankara continues to import natural gas from its main suppliers, Russia and Azerbaijan, and has available stock reserves. Due to the confidential nature of the information, these individuals requested anonymity. The duration of the Iran supply interruption is unclear. Turkey’s Ministry of Energy declined to comment.

Last Tuesday, Israel bombed South Pars — the world’s largest natural gas field. Tehran subsequently launched attacks on energy assets of Gulf Arab countries, including the Ras Laffan complex in Qatar, which produces about one-fifth of the world’s liquefied natural gas.
