Iraqi politician Adnan Al-Zurfi revealed today, Monday, that the United States advised Iraq to lift the political system’s hand from 5 major official institutions, in order to avoid potential US sanctions .
Al-Zarfi explained in a televised statement followed by the “Al-Sa’a” network that “the institutions included in the American advice are: the National Oil Company SOMO, the Central Bank of Iraq, the intelligence and counter-terrorism services, and the security services.”
Al-Zarfi added, “The Americans stressed the importance of these institutions operating independently according to the way they were previously established, away from political interference that affects their technical and administrative performance.”
He pointed out that “the United States is closely monitoring financial operations in Iraq, especially bank transfers, and has already imposed sanctions on a number of banks and financial companies due to their potential links to Iran.”
He explained that “these institutions were established with American support and funding to be part of the structure of the Iraqi state and not the government,” noting that “the political system’s interference in their work threatens to impose more sanctions that may directly affect the Iraqi economy.”
