US to exempt Iraq from sanctions against Iran, Iraqi officials say
The United States has announced to Iraq its readiness to renew sanctions waivers allowing the country to continue importing gas and electricity from Iran, Iraqi officials say.
The Associated Press cited what it called three senior members of Iraq’s government as saying that the US State Department has conveyed its willingness to extend the waiver.
Baghdad, however, must be able to formulate a timeline by the end of the week, detailing a plan to wean itself off the Iranian gas, the report said.
