Shafaq News/ The Iraqi politician, former MP Mithal Al-Alusi, warned today, Wednesday, of the danger of the Iraqi government's "circumvention" of the US sanctions directed against Iran.
Al-Alusi told Shafaq News agency, "The issue of the clearing agreement for Iraqi oil in exchange for Iranian gas may be a kind of circumvention of the US sanctions directed against the Iranian Republic," warning that "this matter may have serious economic repercussions."
He added, "The Iraqi government is required to be careful in dealing with trade issues with Iran, due to the presence of an American veto," pointing out that "any violation of this veto is a violation of US sanctions against Iran."
He explained that "circumventing the US sanctions directed against the Iranian Republic by the Iraqi government may push Washington to include Iraq with some commercial and financial sanctions," stressing that "the interest of Iraq and the Iraqis must be given priority over Iran's economic interest, which is largely economically besieged through US sanctions." .
And yesterday, Tuesday, Prime Minister Muhammad Shia al-Sudani announced, in the evening, that an Iraqi-Iranian agreement had been reached to solve the electricity crisis by exchanging gas for black oil, and said that the US Treasury’s measures prevented Baghdad from paying the money owed to Tehran.
And Al-Sudani said in a televised speech, "The US treasury's procedures are complex, and we were able to transfer one billion and 815 million euros to Iran," adding that we were unable to obtain US approval in order to transfer Iran's money.
Al-Sudani also confirmed, "The release of 10 million cubic meters of Iranian gas to Iraq to supply the country's electrical stations."
Several days ago, Iraq witnessed a noticeable decline in the supply of electricity due to the decrease in the supply of Iranian gas feeding power plants.
This comes at a time when the governing coordinating framework in Iraq held the US administration responsible for the decline in the provision of electric power.
