US Ends Waiver for Iraq to Buy Power from Iran, Reuters Says

The Trump administration rescinded a waiver allowing Iraq to pay Iran for electricity, according to a State Department spokesperson.
The spokesperson stated that this decision prevents Iran from receiving economic relief and supports Trump's campaign against Iranian nuclear threats.
Farhad Alaaeldin, an adviser to Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, noted that the end of the waiver causes temporary operational challenges for Iraq.
In 2023, electricity imports from Iran made up only 4% of Iraq's electricity consumption, as mentioned by the State Department spokesperson.
