America extended Iraq’s exemption for importing electricity from Iran

According to RCO News Agency, “Vedant Patel”, the spokesperson of the US Ministry of Foreign Affairs, confirmed on Wednesday during a briefing that the US has once again extended Iraq’s 120-day exemption in the field of electricity.

This exemption allows Iraq to pay for electricity imports from Iran.

According to media reports, the extension of the waiver represents a continuation of a policy that has been in place since 2018 that allows Iraq to meet its energy needs through imports of Iranian electricity while working to increase its own power generation capacity.

Patel considered this continuous action necessary for the development of Iraq’s energy infrastructure.

According to analysts, the latest extension of Iraq’s electricity exemption underscores the ongoing geopolitical and energy challenges in the region.
