Israeli conspiracy behind Iran gas pipeline explosions: Minister
He said that those behind the attack on gas pipelines had been seeking to cut off gas supplies in big provinces of Iran.
The minister said it had taken no longer than two hours for technicians and rescue teams to repair the pipelines.
Owji said that no major gas cuts has been reported anywhere in the country due to the incident.
Authorities said at around 1 a.m. local time (21:30 GMT) on February 14 that two “acts of sabotage” had hit natural gas pipelines in Boroujen, in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province, and in Safashahr in Fars province.
