BAGHDAD, Nov. 5 (UPI) -- An Iraqi source told Iranian state media the threat from the Islamic State is causing delays in receiving natural gas from across the border.
Hamid Reza Araqi told the semiofficial Fars News Agency natural gas deliveries should rise once four new phases of the South Pars natural gas field in the Persian Gulf come on stream through 2017.
"Right now we only have a contract to supply Baghdad," he said in an interview published Tuesday. "We will be ready to export gas if they can be ready to receive it from us."
A 60-mile pipeline crossing the Iranian border into Iraq was completed in August. It's designed to export 176 million cubic feet of natural gas per day from South Pars. Iraq, for its part, has struggled to ensure around-the-clock electricity despite its vast natural resource wealth.
A source from Iraq told Fars power plants should've received full supplies of Iranian gas by now, but terrorist threats were inhibiting progress.
"We will be able to receive Iran's gas more safely due to the efforts of the (Iraqi) armed forces to get rid of the Islamic State," he said.
The band of support for IS extends from Aleppo in western Syria to parts of Diyala province in eastern Iraq, which shares a border with Iran.

ISTANBUL Iraq's foreign minister says Baghdad doesn't want foreign military personnel on Iraqi soil to combat Islamic State group extremists, but would accept training from abroad for its soldiers.
Ibrahim al-Jaafari made the comments in Turkey's capital Ankara on Wednesday after meeting Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu.
Cavusoglu said Turkey was ready to train and equip members of the Iraqi military and police force.
Relations between Ankara and Baghdad had soured in recent months due to the sale of oil by Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdish region to Turkey without Iraqi central government consent. Baghdad says it has the sole right to develop and market Iraq's natural resources.
Ankara recently allowed about 150 Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga fighters through Turkey en route to the Syrian border town Kobani, where Kurdish forces are battling IS.
