Iran will bring back 95 million cubic metres of gas to its production cycle by the end of September, Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad says according to the oil ministry’s news outlet, as Tehran conducts repairs on energy infrastructure targeted during the war against Israel and the US, Reuters reports.

In July, a senior government official said Iran expects to restore around 100 million cubic metres per day of natural gas production capacity “within the coming months,” after strikes removed about 230 million cubic metres from output since the war started in late February.
