    Associated Press: Iran completely shuts down the electricity transmission lines to Iraq!

    Aso Shed Press reported that Iran has completely shut down the electricity supply lines to Iraq in conjunction with the harsh summer wave.

    The agency stated in a report translated by "Nass" (June 30, 2021), that "Iran has suspended its vital supplies of energy to Iraq, which fueled fears of the outbreak of protests amid instability."  
    He added, "Iran, which is suffering from financial distress, pressured the Iraqi government to release the overdue debt, in light of the scorching temperatures, and before the elections in the country."  
    The report pointed to the protests that began in the south of the country following the electricity crisis, where temperatures reach 50 degrees Celsius.  
    And he indicated, "Iraq's dependence on Iranian energy imports has geopolitical consequences, and has been a source of ongoing tensions with the United States, and Washington has stipulated successive exemptions from sanctions - which enabled these imports to continue - provided that Iraq becomes more independent in the field of energy."  
    He also pointed out the impact of the crisis on the upcoming elections as a result of the expected protests.  
    The report said, "Outputs from four cross-border power lines from Iran to Iraq reached zero on Tuesday, according to Ministry of Electricity data."  
    A ministry official said, according to the report, that the overall cuts began this week.
    Gas and electricity imports from Iran meet up to a third of Iraq's energy requirements.  
    Yasar al-Maliki, a Gulf analyst at the Middle East Economic Survey, said, "Iraq depends heavily on Iranian energy imports, especially in the summer months."  
    He added that "gas imports from Iran range between 1.5 and 1.8 billion cubic feet per day, and now, the level of supply has decreased significantly."  
    Iran feeds gas in Iraq through two pipelines used for power plants in Basra, Samawah, Nasiriyah and Diyala.  
    In Basra, the province needs 4,000 MW, but it currently receives 830 MW. "It is a disaster," Maliki said.  
    The report confirms that these cuts will deprive Iraqis of electricity in hospitals, companies and homes as temperatures rise.  
    Iraq owes Iran $4 billion for energy imports. The country's economic crisis has caused partial delays, but even for funds earmarked to pay for imports, a complex payment system aimed at evading US sanctions has slowed transfers, according to the report.  
    Through this scheme, Iraq cannot pay for imports directly to Iran, but it can pay for goods, medicines, and other expenses related to Tehran's diplomatic mission and Iranian companies operating in Iraq. More recently, Iraq bought vaccines for Tehran.  
    However, Iran has complained that the money is flowing too slowly.
