The US didn’t renew a waiver that allowed Iraq to buy electricity from Iran, according to a foreign affairs adviser to the Iraqi prime minister.
The decision was “regrettable,” Farhad Alaaldin said Sunday. “As a strategic partner, Iraq expected the US authorities to recognize this partnership, particularly since Iraq’s electricity transactions have always been transparent and fully compliant with sanctions regulations.” The news was first reported by Reuters.
