Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has slammed the new US administration’s decision to revoke Iraq’s sanctions waiver for importing electricity from Iran.

According to The Iran Project, On Monday, Araghchi described the Trump administration’s decision as “extremely deplorable.” 

He noted that the US administration has decided to target the innocent people of Iraq “by attempting to deprive them of access to basic services such as electricity, especially ahead of the coming hot months of the year.” 

Iran's top diplomat reaffirmed the Islamic Republic’s continued support for the Iraqi people.

He added that Iran remains firm on its commitment to the Iraqi government to repel unlawful US actions.
