WASHINGTON: The United States is extending a waiver to let energy-hungry Iraq keep buying power from Iran, despite Washington's campaign of sanctions aimed at curbing Tehran, an official said.
The official said that increasing Iraq's capacities and diversifying imports"will strengthen Iraq's economy and development as well as encourage a united, democratic and prosperous Iraq free from malign Iranian influence." Iranian President Hassan Rouhani paid a visit last week to Iraq, where he highlighted Tehran's support in battling the Islamic State extremist movement and said that the United States was"despised" in the region.Last year, US President Donald Trump pulled out of an international deal on curbing Iran's nuclear programme that was negotiated by his predecessor Barack Obama.
