    senior US State Department officials announced that Secretary Anthony Blinken signed the decision to extend Iraq’s exemption from sanctions imposed on Iran for a period of 120 days to pay electricity revenues imported from Iran.

    The two officials explained that this extension is the twenty-first since 2018 and that [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] cannot “use funds restricted in Iraqi banks except for humanitarian and other non-sanctioned transactions.”



    One American official said, “In the past two years, we have witnessed that the Government of [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is making significant progress toward energy self-sufficiency. It is unfortunate that [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] will not wean itself from imports of Iranian gas overnight. Renewing the exemption is necessary to provide space and time for the Government of [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to implement the Prime Minister’s ambitious agenda.” to reform the energy sector.

    The American official stated that this measure “aims to reduce Iranian influence on [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. This does not mean any change in our policy towards [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. Nothing has changed with regard to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. We will not lift any sanctions on [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. We are not making any change that gives [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] any money or possibility.” "Different access to the money she already had."

    He added, "We saw that [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] was using the matter as a means of pressure to cut off electricity to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and pressure them in ways that were truly harmful to our policy in the region, and still are, and our efforts to respond to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]'s destabilizing behavior in the region. Therefore, at the request of the Iraqis, we were working to expedite the transfer of This money is transferred outside [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] so that it is not exposed to Iranian pressure.”

    Another official said, "There is a path in which we have coordinated closely with the Sultanate of Oman to allow the transfer of some of this money from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to Oman through European correspondent banks."

    He stressed that "[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] will not have free access to these funds. There is very strict oversight. The Treasury Department has been involved in this process every step of the way."

    The two American officials revealed that the funds in the frozen Iranian accounts in [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] amount to about ten billion dollars.

    Regarding what some experts say is that [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] buys humanitarian materials and then sells them in the Iraqi, Syrian, and Lebanese markets to obtain funds, a US State Department official said, “I would say that we have maintained very close scrutiny of the transactions, and our colleagues in the Treasury specifically are the ones monitoring this and providing... We will take steps to prevent such transactions from continuing with any entities involved in this type of dynamic."

    Regarding the money that South Korea transferred to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] via Qatar, which amounts to about six billion dollars and led to the release of American hostages from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] in exchange for the release of Iranian prisoners from American prisons, an American official confirmed that this money has not been spent yet.

    Speaking to reporters on condition of anonymity, the officials stressed that the money can only be used for “non-sanctioned transactions” such as purchasing food or agricultural products, according to Reuters.

    They also sought to mitigate criticism, particularly from Republicans in Congress, by saying that giving [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] greater access to these funds frees up amounts that Tehran can spend on armed groups attacking US forces or on its nuclear program.

    These amounts are estimated at about ten billion dollars from payments accumulated in [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].

    The officials explained that their main goal is to reduce Iranian influence in [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. In the past, Tehran pressured Baghdad to obtain US permission to release these funds by halting natural gas exports to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], which limited its ability to generate energy and caused power outages in the country, angering citizens.

    This move may also be controversial because Washington asked Baghdad to curb attacks on American forces in [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] launched by armed groups allied with [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], and the results were mixed. One American official said that American requests to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] “are being worked on.”
