US extends 120-day exemption for Iraqi energy imports from Iran – Mehr News Agency | Iran and world’s news

The United States has granted another 120-day sanctions waiver to Iraq as efforts to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, which would lead to the lifting of some sanctions against Tehran in exchange for restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program, were reported by the Iraq News Agency website. Which allows the continuation of cross-border energy imports from Iran without the imposition of sanctions.

The United States has granted Iraq a 120-day exemption from paying for electricity imports from Iran, a State Department official said in a written statement, according to the report. This exemption ensures that Iraq can meet its short-term energy needs.
