Washington resumes dollar shipments to Iraq after months of suspension

The New York Times revealed on Thursday that the United States has resumed dollar shipments to Iraq after a months-long suspension.

The newspaper reported that “the United States has resumed some airlifts of US dollars to Iraq, after several months of suspension, in a move that was intended to put pressure on the Iraqi government to distance itself from Iran.”

The newspaper quoted two aides to Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi as saying that “the resumption of dollar transfers came after a hiatus of several months.”
