Baghdad – NAS
Oil Price published a report on the gas deal between Iraq and Iran, saying that it destroyed Washington’s dreams and interests in Iraq.
“Although the United States spent hundreds of billions of dollars in Iraq to get Baghdad to abandon trade relations with Tehran, the Baghdad government was able to escape Washington’s control thanks to the oil-for-gas deal between Iraq and Iran,” says the report (August 4, 2023).
According to the report, “the United States has repeatedly tried to force Iraq to cancel the gas import contract with Iran, but the new agreement between Baghdad and Tehran that Iraq would give oil to Tehran in exchange for gas was toxic news for Washington, and thus lost American control over Iraq.”
On July 11, Iraq and Iran signed an agreement to supply Baghdad with oil to Tehran in exchange for gas for power plants in Iraq.
