Thirteen Republicans are seeking answers from the Biden administration over issuing a waiver that permits Iraq to purchase electricity from Iran.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken extended the waiver for another 120 days on March 12. Critics say the amount of money Iran receives—$10 billion—would be used for the regime’s malign activities, including its leading support for terrorism.
