AI Summary:
The waiver was introduced in 2018, when Washington reimposed sanctions on Tehran. Back then, Trump imposed sweeping US sanctions on any other country buying Iran’s oil. The waiver was extended to Iraq as a “key partner” of the US. US embassy asserted that electricity imports from Iran were only four percent of electricity consumption in Iraq. But a spokesperson for Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity, Ahmad Moussa, said that should gas imports also be forbidden, it “would cause Iraq to lose more than 30 percent of its electricity energy”. Iran gas stopped supplying power plants in Baghdad and the central Euphrates region for the past two months. Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei snapped back, saying the country would not negotiate with a “bully” interested in imposing conditions rather than starting negotiations. Iran's mission to the United Nations suggested Tehran might be willing to discuss certain issues – but not the complete end of its nuclear programme.
