Dollar transfers from the United States to Iraq have resumed after an earlier suspension, The New York Times reported on Thursday. The suspension had been imposed to press Iraqi authorities to limit financial and political connections with Iran. Officials did not disclose the length of the pause or the exact volume of currency involved.
Background on the Measure The United States has long used restrictions on dollar access as a tool to influence Iraqi policy toward Iran. Iraq relies on physical shipments of U.S. currency to maintain liquidity in its banking system. The latest resumption indicates that talks between the two governments produced enough progress for shipments to restart.
No new conditions were announced alongside the decision. No named officials were cited in the reporting.
