BAGHDAD: With temperatures rising on both the weather and security fronts across the region, Iraq’s freshman electricity minister is warning that politicizing his country’s power sector could have ripple effects around the world.
“Electricity is a national security issue,” Luay Al-Khateeb told AFP in a wide-ranging interview at the ministry’s headquarters in Baghdad.
“In the end, any political, economic or security crisis in Iraq will affect the whole region — and the global economy will be open to threat.”
“We’re urging for this file not to be politicized.”
