    Baghdad Today - Follow-up
    Today, Friday, Iranian Oil Minister Javad Oji criticized the way Iraq paid dues for Iranian gas exported to it.
    "The Iraqi government requires that these dues be paid by sending medicines and foodstuffs," Oji said, in statements to Iranian television.
    He pointed out that his country "is putting pressure on Baghdad to obtain the revenues of these exports in the manner chosen by the Iranian side, as happens with the revenues of its gas exports to Turkey."
    Iranian export payments to Iraq since 2018, after Washington imposed severe sanctions on Tehran, have turned into a complex issue, as Baghdad says it cannot make payments in foreign exchange due to US pressure and sanctions, while Tehran refuses to do so.
    In the context, the Ministry of Electricity confirmed that the government is moving diplomatically to end the problem of delayed payments due to US sanctions on Iran. 
    Ahmed Musa, a spokesman for the ministry, said in a press statement that the decline in processing hours is due to the cessation of Iranian gas supplies from the entire southern region, amounting to 10 million cubic meters, as the Rumaila gas and investment stations and the Najaf gas station were affected, and the Khor Al-Zubair station in Basra (southern Iraq) was stopped. .
    Moussa added, "We were also surprised by the stopping of Iranian gas supplies to the central region and also by 10 million cubic meters, which means stopping 20 million cubic meters in the center and the south, which reduced production by 5 thousand megawatts, and to this was added the stopping of energy transmission lines from Iran Mirsad- Diyala, Basra-Kharmanshah, and Amarah-Karkhah, with a total production of 1100 megawatts, which means a total decrease of more than 6,000 megawatts, while the total production is currently 20,000 megawatts.
    He emphasized that "the reason for stopping is the debts of Iranian gas, which are difficult to pay by the Trade Bank of Iraq due to US sanctions on Tehran, and there is government follow-up and diplomatic action to find a final solution to the issue."
    Iran annually exports 4,000 megawatts of electricity to Iraq. 
    Last March, the United States allowed Iraq to pay half a billion dollars out of its total Iranian dues, amounting to about $18 billion, according to what the Secretary-General of the Iranian-Iraqi Chamber of Commerce, Hamid Hosseini, revealed at the time.
