Asgari said that Iran has resumed gas export to Turkey today with the completion of gas pipeline repairs in Turkey.

According to IRNA he further added that Iran's gas exports to Turkey are continuing as before.

Iran's gas exports to Turkey have been suspended since March 31 following the explosion of an export gas pipeline near the Iranian border.

The National Iranian Gas Company has a long-term gas export agreement with Turkey for 25 years since 2001.

The pipeline, which carries around 10 billion cubic meters of Iranian gas to Turkey annually, frequently came under attack by Kurdish forces since the 1990s and up until 2013, when a ceasefire was established.

On June 15, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif also announced in a joint press conference with his Turkish counterpart that the transfer of natural gas to Turkey will resume by the end of June.
