The United States has granted Iraq another four-month sanctions waiver to purchase Iranian electricity, a State Department spokesperson has said to local American media.
The United States has issued regular waivers since 2018 so that Iraq can meet its short-term energy needs without running afoul of US sanctions, American website Al-Monitor reported.
Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein discussed his country’s reliance on US waivers for Iranian energy imports in meetings with Treasury Department officials in Washington last week.
