Washington: 'No decision yet' on the import of Iranian electricity to Iraq
May 30, 2019
A Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said on Wednesday that Foreign Minister Mike Pompeo had not yet decided to extend a 90-day suspension of sanctions on electricity Iraq buys from Iran.
The State Department said on March 20 it would allow Iraq to continue to buy electricity from Iran for another 90 days without sanctions, but urged Baghdad to find alternative sources of energy.
"The minister has not taken a decision on this," spokeswoman Morgan Ortagos told reporters.
A power shortage that often leaves homes without electricity for up to 20 hours a day is a key factor behind weeks of major protests in Iraq during the summer.
To overcome this shortfall, Iraq imports up to 28 million cubic meters of natural gas from Tehran to its factories and directly buys 1,300 megawatts of Iranian electricity.
This dependence is uncomfortable for the United States, which sought to reduce Tehran's influence and re-impose sanctions on Iranian financial institutions, shipping lines, the energy sector and oil products.

5-29-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana We are just about through Ramadan, and this holiday has been a busy one. Historically, nothing significant has happened during Ramadan. To be more to the point, nothing at all usually happens during Ramadan...that has not been the case! I won't get into the "list" this morning, but Iraq has been very productive. Things are advancing! Ramadan is over around the 4th of June (it's different for some areas). Eid al fitr follows. The bottom line for us is pretty simple... once Ramadan is over, there is a short following holiday, and then it's "game on" for government and we are officially ready for big things. ...OIL - saw a little dip, but still stable and trending solid. No worries there.
5-29-2019 Intel Guru Eagleone2025 ...INTEL IS INTEL GOOD AND BAD. IT CHANGES DAY BY DAY. THIS IS A PROCESS...JUST REMAIN CALM...
5-29-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ ...the news isn’t bad…it’s just not what we want yet. I am as frustrated as you are...I am still being told that today is “value” day….and we will see the 800 numbers...we shall see.
5-29-2019 Intel Guru Bruce Now, if the ATMS are on in the airports in Iraq, they are probably turned on elsewhere, but we know specifically the ones at the airport are working with lower denominations. That means you have an in-country revaluation of the Iraqi Dinar. Now, we know that certain things that happen even in Iraq are kept from us here until the exact proper time for it to be revealed...Things are quiet. People are under NDAs or gag orders, and that even though we do not like not getting something sometimes, that is a good sign. That means things are right there...I am going to tell you that we are very close. [post 2 of 2]
5-29-2019 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] I want people to realize that this is a real thing. This is happening. This is a global currency reset. This is not just the revaluation of one currency or two currencies...I feel very confident about what it is we are waiting for...Things were looking like we were going to get started over the weekend. We read things about it. We saw some things. There was a possibility of it, but guess what? Didn’t get it. We know Iraq on Saturday turned on their ATM machines at the airports with the lower denominations. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
5-29-2019 Intel/Newshound Guru American Contractor In Iraq, they're articles written every day to mislead you...A week ago, I received information that the Iraq Central Bank (CBI) was distributing old banknotes. This is a false story. The CBI is not distributing any Iraqi dinar currency that is old or what you would consider lower denominations.
