Iran and Iraq are close to resolving a dispute over disruptions to Iranian gas supplies and Baghdad’s unpaid dues for the exports, Iran’s Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad said Saturday.

“We will soon witness the resolution of both issues,” the state-run IRIB News cited Paknejad as saying after meeting with Iraq’s Electricity Minister Ziad Ali Fadhil in Tehran.
