๐ฅ “Washington’s Leverage Play? How the Dollar Could Shake Iraq’s Next Government” ๐ฅ
✨ HIGHLIGHTS SUMMARY
๐ฎ๐ถ Iraq’s 2025 electoral map is shifting fast — Armed factions have expanded their power in parliament, achieving their largest representation since 2003.
๐ณ️ Civilian groups born from the October protests failed to fill the political vacuum due to internal fractures and declining influence.
๐ต Washington may use financial pressure via the US dollar as leverage, potentially destabilizing the next Baghdad government if its conditions — especially those tied to the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) — aren’t met.
๐บ๐ธ The anticipated high-level American visit signals renewed U.S. focus on Iraq’s political trajectory.
⚖️ The next Iraqi government faces a delicate balancing act between domestic factions and sensitive U.S. demands, particularly the legal status of the PMF, described by some analysts as “a thorn in Iraq’s side.”
๐งฉ With rising factional influence and Washington’s pressure, Iraq’s new parliament is stepping into one of the most complex political equations since 2003.

2025 Elections: * "This void wasn't filled by the civilian groups close to the October protests, whose presence had waned due to internal divisions and a sense of betrayal. Instead, a significant portion of this void flowed in a completely different direction: towards the armed factions, which emerged from the ballot boxes with their largest parliamentary representation since 2003". * "as a direct pressure tactic against the next Iraqi government, potentially destabilizing it if it fails to implement the conditions related to the Popular Mobilization Forces." that * "the anticipated American visit is a confirmation of Washington's interest in what is happening in Iraq". * "the next government will face a more complex challenge in balancing these pressures, especially since the new parliament will have to deal with sensitive American conditions, most notably the legal status of the Popular
Mobilization"
