The United States has renewed a 120-day waiver allowing Iraq to pay Iran for electricity, US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller told a briefing on Thursday.
Washington started issuing the waivers last year, stressing the money could only be used for “non-sanctionable transactions,” such as buying humanitarian goods like food and agricultural products.
