🇮🇶🔥 BAGHDAD CLAPS BACK: “IRAQ DOES NOT ACCEPT GUARDIANSHIP”
— Bold Response After New U.S. Sanctions —
In a powerful and direct response to the latest U.S. sanctions on Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) General Engineer Company and other associated entities, the Iraqi government is pushing back — hard.
💬 In an official statement, Iraq made its position crystal clear:
“We reject foreign guardianship or interference in our internal affairs. Iraq is a sovereign state.”
🧠 Key Highlights:
🔹 Red Line Drawn: Rule of Law First
Baghdad asserts that the rule of law is non-negotiable, making it a national red line. Sanctions imposed without prior dialogue are being labeled “regrettable”
and a breach of diplomatic trust between partners.
🔹 Unilateral Actions Undermine Alliances
Iraqi officials warned that unconsulted U.S. decisions set a dangerous precedent for future relations and contradict the spirit of cooperation that’s been built between the two nations post-2003.
🔹 National Committee Formed for Internal Review 🕵️♂️
Prime Minister Sudani has ordered the formation of a national investigative committee, involving:
Ministry of Finance
Central Bank of Iraq
Integrity Commission
Financial Supervision Bureau
🗓️ They’re tasked with producing a comprehensive report within 30 days — a rare display of bureaucratic urgency.
🔹 Protection for Workers & Projects
The government emphasized it will protect workers and key infrastructure. While reforms are coming, citizens’ rights and livelihoods will be safeguarded.
🔹 Zero Tolerance for Off-the-Books Activity
Baghdad declared that no financial or economic activity will be allowed outside Iraq’s legal frameworks. This signals tighter scrutiny over internal and international financial flows.
📢 What This Means:
Iraq is asserting sovereignty in a way not often seen in recent years — signaling to Washington (and Tehran) that it’s unwilling to be anyone’s client state.
Sanctions without communication are now a diplomatic flashpoint, not just a legal action.
A national audit and internal investigation could lead to structural reform or further friction — depending on what’s uncovered.
Iraq is walking a fine line: balancing internal political pressures, U.S. financial influence, and PMF-related tensions, all while trying to project independence and reform.
🧭 The Bigger Picture:
This moment isn’t just about sanctions — it’s about Iraq’s struggle to reclaim economic independence and define its post-war identity. As Washington tightens financial control through SWIFT systems and blacklistings, Iraq’s leadership is pushing back publicly — while quietly navigating its path toward banking reform, gold-backed reserves, and dinar redenomination.

🧠 Final Thought:
Iraq is drawing boundaries and staking its claim to real sovereignty — both politically and economically. The outcome of this national investigation could determine whether U.S.–Iraq relations deepen… or break under pressure.
