Pak Sahafat – America, which brought countless sufferings to the people of this country by attacking Iraq in 2003, is now causing the continued suffering of Iraqis by politicizing the issue of electricity in another way.
According to the Pak Sahafat News Agency, these days, the temperature in Iraq is extremely high, and the table provided by the Iraqi Meteorological Organization has recorded a temperature of 50 degrees, and the pictures published by the Iraqi media of the Iraqi people are a good proof of this claim.
In this hot summer, when the extreme temperature has troubled everyone, the Iraqis have been left without electricity, especially since the Iraqi people do not wait long for these conditions, and it is possible that public protests against this situation will intensify at any moment.
Iraqi officials consider the US sanctions and stonewalling in the way of importing gas from Iran and paying for it to be the cause of this crisis.
By looking at the reaction of Iraqi political circles and analysts, we can understand where they find the root of the problems.

The coordination framework of Iraqi Shia groups announced in a statement: Iraq is witnessing a crisis that has put the Iraqi citizen under pressure due to the short hours of electricity supply in the shadow of excruciating weather conditions and rising temperatures. After following up and examining and researching the reasons for this, the coordination framework asks the Iraqi government to enter into consultation with the American side through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and to ask Washington to immediately pay the financial claims due to the import of gas from Iran without any delay.
The electricity crisis in Iraq has political dimensions
Wael al-Rakabi, a member of the Iraqi Government of Law coalition, said: “The electricity crisis in Iraq has political dimensions and the statement of the coordination framework of Iraqi Shia political groups in order to find a quick solution to the electricity problem has been mentioned by the prime minister.
He added: This crisis is an American conspiracy against the residents of the south, and the people think it is. The corruption mafia in Iraqi electricity does not want the electricity to be stable and stable. The Sudanese government will find a way to resolve the crisis in the next 10 days.
America has not paid attention to the 3 letters of the Iraqi government
“Jabbar Oudeh”, one of the leaders of the Iraqi Shiite political coordination framework, also said: The electricity crisis has reached a worrying situation. The 18-hour power outage in a situation where the temperature has risen sharply was intentional and aimed at creating an internal crisis in order to put pressure on the Sudanese government from the White House.
He added: America has not paid attention to the three letters of the Iraqi government about smoothing the conditions of payment of gas money to Iran. America knows that the strategy of the Sudanese government in handling sensitive cases is a risk for its influence; therefore, it seeks to create a crisis by obstructing the path of Iran’s payment.
