🛢️ Proposed in 2023: Turkmenistan → Iran → Iraq gas flow.
🚫 Deal risked breaching U.S. sanctions on Tehran, so Washington withheld consent.
📊 Iraq aimed to import 5.025 bcm of gas per year.
🇮🇷 Iran wouldn’t get money, only up to 23% of gas for its own needs.
🕵️ Baghdad even offered a third-party monitor to ensure compliance with U.S. rules.
🔥 Collapse worsens Iraq’s electricity crisis amid rising demand.
