Shafaq News/ The coordination framework commented, on Sunday, on the electricity crisis in Iraq, and called on the government to address the US side to release the Iranian gas import dues, and not to use the file politically.
In a statement received by Shafaq News agency, the framework stated, “The country is witnessing a crisis that is burdening the Iraqi citizen due to the lack of supply in electricity hours, in light of the difficult climatic conditions and the high temperatures.”
He added, “After follow-up, investigation, and clarifying the reasons, the coordination framework calls on the Iraqi government, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to contact the American side and force it to immediately release the financial dues resulting from the import of Iranian gas without delay or procrastination, and not to use this file politically to avoid its negative repercussions on the Iraqi citizen.”
On June 26, 2023, a spokesman for the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity, Ahmed Musa, announced that all dues for Iranian gas had been paid, indicating that the paid funds had been deposited in the Trust Fund at the Trade Bank of Iraq.
