The Trump administration has banned Iranian electricity and gas from Iraq, something that should have by this time been already cutoff years ago. Be careful in thinking these are sanctions. These are NOT sanctions.
So, Iraq has had almost seven years to develop this infrastructure for these utilities since the last Trump administration when Trump waived the electricity and gas sanctions back then.
So, Trump is only making Iraq live up to their obligation and promises to get their grid. You see if you claim you want to be independent than do it. Part of this independence is to be fully operational and extract their gas for in-country use and market it.
But there is more to this issue too since we all read the articles that Iraq has already developed it’s own electric grid (Seman and GE, remember?) and is now self-sufficient and no longer needs Iranian electricity or gas. So, what goes on here? Why is Iraq still purchasing these utilities from Iran? This is Trump’s point. Get it?
Oh…but there is some good news too:
😊 Please check out the article titled “NATO INVITES IRAQ TO PARTICIPATE IN BRUSSELS GATHERING, PRAISES GOVERNMENT EFFORTS”. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte extended an official invitation to Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani to participate in the NATO gathering that will be held soon in Brussels, and to deliver a speech on behalf of Iraq during the meeting. What will Al-Sudani say?
😊 Then article titled “SAMI STRESSES IMPORTANCE OF PARTNERSHIP WITH AMERICA IN SUPPORTING FINANCIAL STABILITY AND ECONOMIC REFORMS”
Finance Minister Taif Sami stressed on Tuesday, February 4, 2025, the importance of partnership with the American side in supporting financial stability and economic reforms during her reception of the US Chargé d’Affaires.
