Washington ends waiver for Iraq to buy Iranian energy: Embassy

Washington has declined to renew a sanctions waiver that allowed Iraq to buy electricity and gas from neighboring Iran, a spokesperson for the U.S. embassy in Baghdad said Sunday.

"On March 8, the U.S. Department of State did not renew the waiver for Iraq to purchase Iranian electricity," the spokesperson said, adding that the decision "ensures we do not allow Iran any degree of economic or financial relief."
