Article: “Al-Sudani: There is no international pressure against energy projects, and our funds in the US are not under guardianship.” Quote: “We organized a mechanism for importing gas from Iran…The last executive order was only for importing electricity, not gas, despite some talk from the American side about the need to find alternatives to Iranian gas. As a government, we prefer to invest in our existing gas, because we burn about 1,300 cubic meters per day, while our imports at peak times reach 1,000 cubic meters. The value of what is imported amounts to $4 billion, while the value of what is burned amounts to $5 billion, which means that our losses are equal to $9 billion annually between imports and burning.”
