Everything, Everywhere, all at Once Rally

Everything, Everywhere, all at Once Rally

WTFinance:   9-19-2025

Imagine a market where stocks, bonds, gold, and even Bitcoin are all getting a significant boost. Sounds too good to be true?

 According to financial expert Mel Mattison, featured in a recent insightful WTFinance podcast episode, we might be experiencing just that: an “everything all at once” rally. And his analysis delves deep into the macroeconomic forces at play, suggesting we could be on the brink of a profound financial system reset.

Mel Mattison offers a powerfully bullish outlook for a broad spectrum of asset classes over the medium term – roughly the next 6 to 12 months. He articulates that a unique convergence of several macroeconomic factors is creating what he dubs a “near-perfect storm” for asset appreciation.

These factors combined paint a picture of an economy poised for significant growth, translating into strong performance across traditional and digital assets.

But Mel’s analysis goes deeper than just short-term drivers. He explains a critical, structural dynamic at play: the vast sovereign debt burdens globally.

This unprecedented level of national debt, he argues, necessitates lower interest rates for longer durations. It’s simply unsustainable for governments to service their debt at higher rates.

Perhaps the most thought-provoking aspect of Mel’s discussion on WTFinance is his perspective on the interplay between fiscal and monetary policy.

 He anticipates a likely erosion of Federal Reserve independence as governments increasingly intervene to manage their debt costs and stimulate economies. This could lead to a monumental shift: future monetary policy might evolve toward issuing non-debt-backed currency, reminiscent of historical “greenback” periods.

This isn’t just a tweak; it’s a potential “profound reset of the current financial system.” By issuing currency not tied to debt, governments could mitigate the unsustainable interest expense burden they face, while simultaneously fueling continued economic growth. It’s a bold vision that challenges conventional financial wisdom.

Ultimately, Mel encourages investors to embrace “cautious optimism.” While acknowledging the unique and powerful dynamics shaping the current global economy, he stresses the timeless advice: manage risk prudently.

The “everything all at once” rally, driven by a confluence of economic factors and propelled by the potential for a radical financial system shift, presents both immense opportunities and significant considerations.

Don’t just read about it, hear it directly from the expert! Watch the full video from WTFinance for further insights and detailed information on Mel Mattison’s fascinating market outlook.

Tishwash:  SOMO: Expected Increase in Iraqi Oil Exports... Millions of Dollars to Support the Budget

6 million barrels per month

The State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO) announced on Sunday, September 21, 2025, that oil exports will rise to 6 million barrels per month after the voluntary cut ends. It indicated that this increase in exports will generate hundreds of millions of dollars in additional revenue that can be invested to support budget requirements.

The company's general manager, Ali Nizar Al-Shatri, said in a press statement monitored by Al-Jabal, "Iraq has achieved an increase in its oil exports after the voluntary reductions were gradually ended by the OPEC countries and the countries allied with them."

Al-Shatri explained that "Iraq was able to increase its oil production, which allowed it to raise the volume of its exports, based on a study of the oil market balance by OPEC and non-OPEC experts, who approved the possibility of making this increase."

He added, "Oil exports are the primary source of funding for the general budget. With current prices ranging between $65 and $68 per barrel, and an annual average of approximately $70, an increase of approximately 200,000 barrels per day, equivalent to 6 million barrels per month, will contribute to hundreds of millions of dollars in additional revenue that can be invested to support budget requirements."

He pointed out that "the Oil Marketing Company, through commercial agreements and profit-sharing projects with foreign companies, is working to generate greater revenues from the sale of conventional oil through ports. This is achieved by reselling a portion of the barrels on global markets when commercial opportunities arise or when certain companies demand it, thus generating additional profits above the official price."

He pointed out that "the company also activated a mechanism for selling spot shipments, which enabled the sale of a number of barrels at price premiums commensurate with the volume of demand and opportunities available in the global oil market."

On September 7, eight OPEC+ countries, including Iraq, agreed to increase oil production by 137,000 barrels per day, starting next October.

According to a statement issued by the alliance following a meeting held on the above date, " In light of the stable outlook for the global economy and the current good market fundamentals, as reflected in the decline in oil inventories, the eight participating countries have decided to implement a production adjustment of 137,000 barrels per day."

 The coalition indicated in its statement that it "could partially or fully resume pumping supplies of 1.65 million barrels per day, depending on market developments and on a gradual basis  link

Central Bank And Monetary Policy Indicators For The First Half Of 2025

Samir Al-Nusairi   The Central Bank's monetary policy objectives are to achieve growth and economic stability, amidst the extremely complex economic, security, and political conditions facing the world, impacting our country both positively and negatively.

Our economy has suffered from these conditions for decades, due to the rentier nature of the economy and the fact that 93% of the general budget allocations are based on oil revenues, which constitute approximately 60% of the gross domestic product.

Meanwhile, the active productive economic sectors, namely agriculture, contribute 3% of the GDP, while industry does not exceed 2%, according to official data.

These are indicators that confirm the need to support, activate, and revolutionize the real sector to contribute to sustainable development, address shortcomings in local production, and address the failure of local producers to meet citizens' consumption needs for food and other basic commodities.

Therefore, the private commercial sector relied almost entirely on imports, and domestic trade was neither controlled nor regulated. Control over illegal trade and informal border crossings was weak, and the inflation rate was the most prominent challenge facing monetary policy, directly impacting exchange rate stability.

The inflation rate in January 2023 was around 7.5%, prompting the Central Bank to take numerous measures, in cooperation with the government, to regulate foreign trade financing, control foreign transfers, ensure regularity in the global financial and banking system, comply with international standards, and move away from the electronic platform.

And the implementation of its third strategy and the regular implementation of the comprehensive banking reform project.

By analyzing the monetary policy indicators for the first half of 2025, we note the building of foreign reserves of approximately $100 billion, and the gold reserves of the Central Bank recorded a significant growth rate of (55%), as their value reached (22) trillion dinars during the same period, compared to their value of (14.7) trillion dinars in the second quarter of 2024.

The decline in the issued currency contributed to a decrease in the inflation rate, which maintains the stability of the general price level, as the currency issued by the Central Bank recorded a decrease in the rate of (3.8%), as it reached (98.4) trillion dinars during the same period, compared to its value of (102.3) trillion dinars in the second quarter of 2024.

The decline in the inflation rate also indicates a decline in the general price level, as inflation recorded a low rate of (76%), reaching (0.8%) compared to the second quarter of 2024, which reached (3.3%). This confirms that the Central Bank was able to build basic pillars for monetary stability and achieve the most important objectives of monetary policy.    https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=60221

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Breaking Consensus: Diplomatic Recognition and Financial Realignment Signal Global Reset

From Western recognition of Palestine to BRICS currency strategies, the world is breaking from U.S.-centric governance — setting the stage for systemic change.

Western Powers Break Ranks on Palestine
The U.K., Canada, and Australia’s recognition of a Palestinian state marks a historic departure from decades of U.S.-aligned policy in the Middle East. By joining the 150 nations that already back Palestinian statehood, these Western allies send a powerful message: Washington no longer sets the sole terms of global legitimacy.

The recognition isn’t just symbolic — it changes the balance of U.N. votes, aid flows, and financial access for Palestine. It reflects the erosion of U.S. influence over its traditional partners, mirroring how sanctions fatigue and unilateral trade moves have driven nations to seek alternatives in finance and security.

BRICS and the Financial Parallel
While Western recognition reshapes the diplomatic map, BRICS continues to redraw the financial map.

• China’s yuan is gaining traction as a cross-border settlement tool through its CIPS network.

• Russia’s digital ruble is being positioned as a sanctions-proof settlement currency.

• India and Brazil are expanding local-currency trade, bypassing the dollar in energy and commodity flows.

These steps directly parallel the Palestinian recognition moment: both show the weakening of U.S. dominance — politically and financially. Just as allies now defy Washington in diplomacy, global markets are increasingly willing to defy the dollar in trade.

The Emerging Multipolar Order
Diplomatic recognition and currency realignment share a common driver: the rise of multipolarity.

• In diplomacy, Palestine gains legitimacy not because Washington approves, but because a critical mass of nations assert it.

• In finance, BRICS currencies gain traction not because they’re stronger than the dollar, but because nations need an alternative to U.S. control.

Together, these shifts highlight a world where legitimacy — political or financial — is no longer centralized in Washington. Instead, authority is dispersing across multiple poles of power.

Why This Matters
These two seemingly separate events — recognition of Palestinian statehood and the rise of BRICS financial infrastructure — are part of the same global reset arc. Both are about breaking dependence on a single authority.

• The political map is being redrawn as Western allies split from U.S. policy.

• The financial map is being redrawn as trade and payments shift away from the dollar.

Taken together, they signal a deep restructuring of the world order.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Digital Choke Points & Tokenization: Vietnam, Russia, China, and Hong Kong Show the Future of Finance

From mass account freezes to UBS token pilots, governments and banks are building the rails for a programmable financial order.

Vietnam’s Mass Freeze: A Trial Run for Total Control
Vietnam’s decision to freeze 86 million bank accounts under its biometric ID regime shocked global observers. For analysts like Jim Rickards, this wasn’t a domestic event, but a warning shot of how digital finance will be weaponized.

Once financial access is tied to state-controlled ID systems, citizens can be locked out overnight. Rickards warns the U.S. Genius Act may embed similar powers under the guise of stablecoin innovation — turning crises into opportunities for mass control.

Russia & China: CBDCs as Tools of Sovereignty
While Vietnam’s freeze highlights coercion, Russia and China showcase strategy.

• Russia’s digital ruble, slated for 2026, is pitched as “strong, reliable, and independent of commercial banks.” Finance Minister Anton Siluanov emphasizes its budgetary traceability, effectively putting government disbursements under permanent monitoring.

• China’s digital yuan continues to scale, integrated into cross-border settlement systems like CIPS. Beijing’s aim is to reduce reliance on SWIFT and the U.S. dollar, embedding the yuan deeper into trade flows across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

Together, these CBDCs extend state power while accelerating the global de-dollarization agenda.

Hong Kong & UBS: Tokenization Goes Institutional
Meanwhile, Hong Kong is moving in the opposite direction — not freezing accounts, but easing restrictions on tokenized assets.

• The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) is relaxing Basel rules that penalized public blockchain tokens with extreme capital requirements.

• UBS has launched a pilot with DigiFT and Chainlink to automate tokenization, cutting costs and errors while integrating blockchain into traditional fund distribution.

• Global giants — JPMorgan, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank — are all running tokenization pilots, making RWA tokens (like Treasuries and private credit) the bridge between old finance and new rails.

This marks the other side of the transformation: institutionalizing tokenization under regulated frameworks.

The Dual Convergence: Control + Innovation
The story here is not Vietnam alone, nor UBS alone — but the convergence of state and corporate power through digital rails.

• States are embedding CBDCs and biometric IDs to tighten control.

• Banks are tokenizing real-world assets to increase efficiency, liquidity, and profits.

• Both sides are building the same programmable infrastructure, ensuring every transaction is traceable, stoppable, and monetizable.

Why This Matters
The world’s financial system is not just evolving — it’s being rewired. Vietnam’s freeze, Russia and China’s CBDCs, and Hong Kong’s tokenization reforms are all pieces of the same puzzle:

A global financial reset where access, assets, and money itself become programmable. The question is no longer if this model takes hold, but how fast and under whose rules.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

China Turns to Gold as Treasury Holdings Plummet

Beijing accelerates diversification away from U.S. debt, raising questions about the next phase of de-dollarization.

China’s Treasury Sell-Off
China shed $25.7 billion in U.S. Treasuries in July, cutting total holdings to $730.7 billion—the lowest since 2009 and down nearly 45% from the 2013 peak.

Gold and Euro Reserves

• Beijing is easing restrictions on gold import permits, extending their validity and expanding port access.

• Economists suggest China is shifting reserves into euros, pounds, and Swiss francs to hedge against dollar weakness.

• Macro analyst Luke Gromen calls gold accumulation an “elegant solution” to yuan depreciation, front-running citizens’ decades-long appetite for precious metals.

Why This Matters
China’s reserve realignment is not just financial housekeeping—it’s a signal. By holding less U.S. debt and more gold, Beijing is insulating itself from Washington’s leverage. Yet this move also illustrates the fragmented approach to de-dollarization: sovereign hedging rather than a unified BRICS front.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

BRICS Dream Shattered: Why They Can’t Replace the U.S. Dollar

Three years of de-dollarization have not broken the greenback’s dominance.

Global Trust in the Dollar

• The U.S. dollar remains the most reliable safe haven, backed by the world’s largest capital market.

• BRICS local currencies lack credibility and global usage.

Internal Rivalries

• China wants yuan dominance, but India resists.

• Russia rejects the rupee for oil deals, undercutting India’s ambitions.

• No unified BRICS currency has emerged.

Dollar Still Dominates Trade
Despite BRICS producing over 44% of global commodities, the USD is still used in 88% of global transactions. Even sanctioned economies like Russia and Iran settle trades in yuan only out of necessity, not preference.

Why This Matters
The BRICS alliance can weaken the dollar’s edges, but without trust, cohesion, and a single settlement system, the USD’s global role remains secure. De-dollarization is happening, but slowly and unevenly—Washington still holds the commanding heights.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Jerome Powell and the Fed are Hiding a Full-Blown Economic Collapse

Jerome Powell and the Fed are Hiding a Full-Blown Economic Collapse

VRIC Media:   9-20-2025

In a world grappling with economic uncertainty, understanding the complex interplay of monetary policy, labor market shifts, and global events is more crucial than ever.

That’s why a recent interview with Danielle D. Martino Booth, CEO and founder of Qi Research, on VRIC Media, offers an indispensable deep dive into the forces shaping our financial future.

Danielle, known for her incisive analysis, peels back the layers on recent Federal Reserve actions, providing a clear-eyed perspective on the economy’s hidden weaknesses and the potential implications for everything from your job prospects to your investment portfolio.

The discussion kicks off with the Federal Reserve’s recent 25 basis points rate cut.

While headline numbers might suggest a robust economy, Danielle explains that this move was largely prompted by unsettling downward revisions in job numbers. She digs deeper than the surface, revealing the “hidden weaknesses” within the labor market.

This isn’t just about statistics; it’s about the tangible challenges facing new workforce entrants, particularly young workers, and the concerning trend of individuals shifting into gig economy roles as full-time employment opportunities dwindle. It’s a nuanced picture far removed from broad brushstrokes of ‘full employment’.

As the conversation progresses, Danielle expertly navigates the murky waters of recession timing, offering her informed perspective on when we might truly feel the economic squeeze. She highlights how persistent tariffs and global uncertainty are significantly impacting private sector planning, causing businesses to retrench or delay investments.

The housing market, a cornerstone of economic health, also comes under scrutiny. Danielle details the ongoing deterioration, marked by declines in both new home construction and existing home prices. These aren’t isolated incidents but interconnected threads in a larger economic tapestry that demands careful attention.

A particularly insightful segment delves into the delicate interplay between inflation, monetary policy, and bond yields. Danielle cautions that while the Fed aims to control inflation, keeping rates “too tight for too long” could inadvertently trigger a disinflationary shock – a scenario where prices broadly fall, potentially signaling deeper economic trouble.

BRICS NEWS: Egypt and Belarus to Launch Electronic Trading Bridge in Local Currencies

BRICS expands its de-dollarization strategy as Egypt and Belarus move toward local currency settlements.

A New Trade Corridor in Local Currencies
BRICS member Egypt and BRICS Partner Country Belarus have agreed to create an electronic trading bridge that will allow bilateral trade to be conducted in local currencies rather than U.S. dollars. The initiative was announced during the Belarusian-Egyptian Business Forum, with the Belarusian Universal Commodity Exchange (BUCX) leading the discussions.

While Egypt holds full BRICS membership, Belarus became a Partner Country in 2023 as part of the bloc’s strategy to expand its influence and deepen trade opportunities for emerging economies.

Goods and Market Access Identified

• Belarus exports: dairy supply products, feed additives, swan timber.

• Egypt exports: fruit puree, juice concentrates, polymer products, and agricultural seeds.

• Both sides will also share analytics and open broader market access.

Once the bridge goes live, trade between the two countries will be settled in Egyptian pounds and Belarusian rubles, bypassing the U.S. dollar entirely.

The Larger BRICS De-Dollarization Push
This initiative is part of a wider BRICS strategy to increase trade settlement in local currencies—a key step toward reducing dependence on the U.S. dollar. By boosting the role of local currencies, BRICS economies aim to:

• Enhance GDP growth by stabilizing trade costs.

• Strengthen monetary sovereignty, giving nations more freedom in negotiations.

• Promote South-South cooperation, empowering Global South and emerging economies.

Already, countries across Asia, South America, Africa, and Eastern Europe are studying BRICS’ model of local-currency trade as a shield against financial vulnerability.

Why This Matters
The creation of a digital trading bridge between Egypt and Belarus is more than a bilateral deal—it is a symbol of how BRICS and its partners are building alternatives to the dollar-led system.

If replicated widely, such agreements could erode the global dominance of the U.S. dollar and give emerging economies unprecedented leverage in shaping the world economy over the next decade.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

BRICS Currency Strategy: Yuan Globalization & Digital Ruble Challenge U.S. Dollar Power

China pushes the yuan global with CIPS, while Russia arms itself with a digital ruble — two fronts in the fight against dollar dominance

A Two-Front Strategy Against the Dollar
The BRICS alliance is advancing a currency strategy that takes aim at the U.S. dollar’s dominance. China and Russia are at the forefront, each deploying different but complementary tools:

• China is accelerating the yuan’s internationalization through the Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS).

• Russia is preparing to launch a digital ruble, designed for fiscal traceability at home and sanctions-resistant trade abroad.

Together, these initiatives represent a dual assault on dollar supremacy, combining both global trade architecture and sovereign digital currency power.

China’s Yuan: Going Global Through CIPS
Beijing’s CIPS system, now connected with banks across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, enables real-time settlements in yuan — sidestepping the politicization of SWIFT.

Pan Gongsheng, governor of the People’s Bank of China, explained the strategy:

“Traditional cross-border payment infrastructure is prone to being politicized and weaponized as a unilateral sanction tool, undermining the international financial order.”

Trump’s aggressive tariffs and U.S. reliance on sanctions have only amplified this shift, making the yuan more attractive as a hedge against dollar volatility.

Russia’s Digital Ruble: Traceability & Sanctions Resistance
While China focuses on global adoption, Moscow is reinforcing state control at home and resilience abroad. Finance Minister Anton Siluanov has declared the digital ruble “strong and reliable,” independent of commercial banks.

• Launch is scheduled for 2026.

• Early salary payments and thousands of transactions have already been processed.

• The ruble is being tested as a settlement corridor with the UAE, directly bypassing U.S. sanctions.

Siluanov emphasized its fiscal benefits:

“We believe it is of particular interest for the budgetary process: traceability and control will be ensured at a high level.”

This makes the digital ruble both a domestic control tool and an international weapon against dollar restrictions.

Toward a Multipolar Currency Order
By combining yuan globalization with a digital ruble, BRICS is steadily building an alternative financial order. For emerging economies, this offers both participation in a new payment network and protection from U.S. financial leverage.

The result is a multipolar currency landscape, where the U.S. dollar no longer enjoys uncontested dominance.

Why This Matters
China and Russia are leading parallel yet connected experiments in currency power — one through global reach, the other through domestic digital control and sanctions evasion. Together, they form a powerful front within BRICS’ strategy to erode U.S. monetary dominance.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

From Stimulus to Collapse: Why the System Must Reset

From Stimulus to Collapse: Why the System Must Reset

Lynette Zang:  9-21-2025

Stimulus was never free — it only pushed us closer to collapse. With $37 trillion in U.S. debt, hidden taxes, and compounding interest, the system is mathematically unsustainable.

Lynette Zang reveals why debt can’t be paid back, why hyperinflation is the only endgame, and why a full reset with sound money is inevitable.

Tishwash:  North Oil: We expect to resume Kurdistan Region oil exports within 48 hours.

 The director of the North Oil Company, Amer Khalil, expected on Saturday that the Kurdistan Region's oil exports would resume within the next 48 hours.

The director of the North Oil Company said in an interview monitored by ( IQ ), "The Iraqi government has shown flexibility in meeting the demands of the oil companies, noting that the two sides have reached a large agreement, "95 %."

He explained that "the oil companies have requested guarantees to obtain their rights and dues, and the federal government has agreed to this and will provide the necessary guarantees ."

In this context, Kurdistan Regional Government Prime Minister Masrour Barzani announced today that there is an "imminent understanding and agreement" between oil production companies in the Kurdistan Region and the federal government     link

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani: Iraq is in the eye of the storm

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani warned on Saturday that regional and international security, political, and environmental challenges "have placed Iraq at the eye of the storm." He also highlighted Iraq's ambition to become a gateway for 20 percent of Asian trade to Europe through the Development Road project.

In a speech during the launch ceremony of Iraq's Vision 2050, Al-Sudani said, "Today we stand before a major national moment that embodies the state's will to restore its standing in the region and the world. Countries and their leaders must launch creative ideas to defuse crises and disasters." 

Al-Sudani added, "Regional and international security, political, and environmental challenges have placed Iraq at the center of the storm, and national responsibility requires openness and frankness that these challenges target the stability of the state." 

Al-Sudani continued, "Climate and environmental disasters have begun to undermine the foundations of water and food security in countries, and it is imperative that countries, including Iraq, take steps to mitigate the crisis if it occurs."

The Prime Minister noted that "the initiative to formulate the initial concepts for Iraq's Vision 2050 began in 2023," stating that "our goal is to reduce dependence on oil and achieve sustainable growth." 

The Prime Minister affirmed, "We signed the consultancy contract between the Ministry of Planning and KBR in accordance with Iraq's Vision 2050. For the first time in the history of the Iraqi state, the government took the initiative by launching the executive policy document for strategic governance." 

He emphasized that "the general direction of Iraq's Vision 2050 is to ensure that it covers comprehensive and promising sectors, and we look forward to Iraq being free of oil revenues in the coming decades  link

Tishwash:  Iraq's first industrial-scale solar plant opens to tackle electricity crisis

Iraq is opening its first industrial-scale solar plant in Karbala province

Iraq is set to open the country’s first industrial-scale solar plant Sunday in a vast expanse of desert in Karbala province, southwest of Baghdad.

It’s part of a new push by the government to expand renewable energy production in a country that is frequently beset by electricity crises despite being rich in oil and gas.

“This is the first project of its type in Iraq that has this capacity,” said Safaa Hussein, executive director of the new solar plant in Karbala, standing in front of row after row of black panels. From above, the project looks like a black-clad city surrounded by sand.

The plant aims to “supply the national network with electricity, and reduce the fuel consumption especially during the daytime peak load, in addition to reducing the negative environmental impact of gas emissions,” he said.

The newly opened solar plant in Karbala will eventually be able to produce up to 300 megawatts of electricity at its peak, said Nasser Karim al-Sudani, head of the national team for solar energy projects in the Prime Minister’s Office. Another project under construction in Babil province will have a capacity of 225 megawatts, and work will also begin soon on a 1,000 megawatt project in the southern province of Basra, he said.

The projects are part of an ambitious plan to implement large-scale solar power projects in an effort to ease the country’s chronic electricity shortages.

Deputy Minister of Electricity Adel Karim said Iraq has solar projects with a combined capacity of 12,500 megawatts either being implemented, in the approval process, or under negotiation. If fully realized, these projects would supply between 15% and 20% of Iraq’s total electricity demand, excluding the semi-autonomous northern Kurdish region, he said.

“All the companies we have contracted with, or are still negotiating with, will sell us electricity at very attractive prices, and we will in turn sell it to consumers,” Karim said, although he declined to disclose the purchase rates 

Despite its oil and gas wealth, Iraq has suffered from decades of electricity shortages because of war, corruption and mismanagement. Power outages are common, especially in the scorching summer months. Many Iraqis have to rely on diesel generators or suffer through temperatures that exceed 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit) without air conditioning.

Currently, Iraq produces between 27,000 and 28,000 megawatts of electricity, Karim said, while nationwide consumption ranges from 50,000 to 55,000 megawatts. Power plants fueled by Iranian gas contribute about 8,000 megawatts of the current supply.

Iraq’s heavy reliance on imported Iranian gas, as well as electricity imported directly from Iran to meet its electricity needs, is an arrangement that risks running afoul of U.S. sanctions.

Earlier this year, Washington ended a sanctions waiver for direct electricity purchases from Iran but left the waiver for gas imports in place.  link
