Tehran (SANATNAMA) - “The United States has renewed a waiver for Iraq to continue importing Iranian electricity but this time for a shorter period of 30 days. The Secretary granted this brief extension of the waiver to allow time for the formation of a credible government. Washington would be reassessing whether to renew again once a ‘credible government’ is formed in Iraq,” the official said.
“Once that government is in place, the Secretary will reassess whether to renew the waiver and for how long,” the State Department official added.
Washington has repeatedly extended the exemption for Baghdad to use crucial Iranian energy supplies for its power grid, for periods of 90 or 120 days, according to Reuters.
