Tens of thousands of Iranians were left without gas needed to heat their homes on Saturday as unusually cold weather sweeps across the country, the state broadcaster reported.

Gas deliveries were cut to at least 90,000 residential users in the northeastern Razavi Khorasan province by Saturday night, provincial governor Yaghoub-Ali Nazari said on national television.
