"IMPORTANT IRAQ NEWS: AL-YASIRI: THE AMERICAN ADMINISTRATION IS WORKING HARD TO DESTROY THE IRAQI ECONOMY" BY MNT GOAT, 29 MARCH

AL-YASIRI: THE AMERICAN ADMINISTRATION IS WORKING HARD TO DESTROY THE IRAQI ECONOMY

The political and security analyst, Muhammad Al-Yasiri, today, Thursday, accused the American administration of continuing its hostile policy to destroy the Iraqi economy.

Al-Yasiri told Al-Maalouma, “The US Treasury Department continues to restrict the flow of dollars to the Central Bank of Iraq and reduce cash liquidity.”
He pointed out that “the American administration is working hard to restrict the Iraqi government and discourage it from demanding the removal of its occupying forces from the country.”

He continued, “The American restrictions on Iraq regarding the dollar clearly confirm the lie of the so-called friendship of the United States of America with Iraq.”

The US Treasury Department recently imposed economic sanctions on eight Iraqi banks, preceded by sanctions on fourteen others, and prevented them from dealing in the dollar currency, as the reasons behind the imposition of such sanctions were not explained.

(In my last Newsletter I talked about the importance of getting these sanctions lifted, but only when the parallel market is stabilized and movement is downward.)
