WALL STREET JOURNAL: WASHINGTON FREEZES $500 MILLION OF IRAQI FUNDS

 WALL STREET JOURNAL: WASHINGTON FREEZES $500 MILLION OF IRAQI FUNDS

The Wall Street Journal revealed on Wednesday that the United States has halted the transfer of $500 million destined for Iraq, along with freezing a number of security cooperation programs with Baghdad, in a move aimed at increasing pressure on Iranian-backed groups.

The newspaper quoted informed sources as saying that the US Treasury Department had frozen the transfer of about $500 million from Iraq’s accounts at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, funds resulting from the sale of Iraqi oil.

She explained that this shipment is the second that Washington has suspended since the start of its military operation against Iran, as part of escalating economic and security measures.

She also noted that US authorities have suspended funding for a number of training programs for Iraqi military forces and counter-terrorism units, in a move that reflects a trend to restrict security cooperation between the two countries.

According to the report, these measures are part of US efforts to pressure Baghdad and reduce its level of relations with Tehran, in light of escalating regional tensions.

The newspaper noted that Iraqi oil revenues have been deposited in accounts at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York since 2003, while the United States had previously temporarily suspended cash transfers to Iraq in 2015, due to concerns that some of those funds might reach ISIS.

🚨 DINAR GURU FLASH — PRESSURE IS PEAKING 🚨

🚨 DINAR GURU FLASH — PRESSURE IS PEAKING 🚨

Something big is building… and the pressure on Iraq is unlike anything we’ve seen in years.

🔥 1. “THIS IS STRATEGIC PRESSURE”
According to analyst Stephen, what looks negative on the surface is actually coordinated pressure.
👉 Not collapse… but forced alignment

🇺🇸 2. U.S. TURNING UP THE HEAT
Under Donald Trump, strong signals are being sent to Iraq:

  • Political direction is being challenged
  • Leadership decisions are under scrutiny
    👉 This is direct, high-level engagement

💵 3. THE DOLLAR LEVERAGE PLAY
The U.S. is essentially saying:
👉 “Comply — or lose access to USD flow”

This impacts Iraq through the Central Bank of Iraq
⚠️ This is HUGE — control of dollar liquidity = control of the system

🌍 4. GEOPOLITICAL RESET IN MOTION
A key theme:
👉 Reducing Iranian influence inside Iraq

From this perspective:

  • Economic reform + political realignment
  • Creating a more independent financial system

🧩 5. THE “PUZZLE COMING TOGETHER”

  • Diplomatic visits back and forth
  • Behind-the-scenes negotiations
  • Multiple moving parts aligning

👉 Much of it invisible to the public — but accelerating

⏳ 6. TIMELINE OUTLOOK

  • “Closer than ever” sentiment growing
  • Realistic expectation: within 12 months
  • Best case: sooner… but not guaranteed tomorrow

🔥 7. UNPRECEDENTED MOMENTUM
“This is the most pressure, movement, and heat on Iraq since 2003.”

👉 That level of intensity suggests:
Something structural is being pushed forward

🧠 THE BIG PICTURE
This isn’t random chaos — it’s strategic pressure shaping outcomes:

✔️ Monetary control
✔️ Political influence
✔️ Economic reform
✔️ Global alignment

🚀 BOTTOM LINE:
Pressure creates change…
And right now, Iraq is under maximum pressure to transform.

If this trajectory continues, it could set the stage for major financial shifts ahead.

Stay focused. Watch the pressure. Watch the moves.

 Present Trump means business...This is all positive stuff.  It might seem negative.  It might seem like, 'oh my gosh the USA is threatening to pull support for Iraq and the country is going to fall apart.'  Everything is working together. We are watching a beautify puzzle come together and all of these little puzzle pieces that we are not even aware of as dinar investors, are all coming together.  There's so much happening behind the scenes...We need Iranian influence out of Iraq before this [RV] event does take place.

 I think we're closer than ever.  I don't know when it's going to happen.  Obviously I would love for it to happen tomorrow.  Will it happen tomorrow?  Probably not.  I do believe we're in a 12-month window.  I believe it most likely will happen in the next 12 months, hopefully sooner... 

  I have never seen this much pressure ...movement...heat on Iraq...You have President Trump directly calling out Iraq, telling them not to reelect al-Maliki as their Prime Minister.  You have US delegations going back and forth to Iraq negotiating with them...

Now the fact that the USA has said, 'We are now holding the US dollar over your head, and if you don't comply, if you don't get rid of all the Iranians in your government, we are no longer sending you dollars.'  The is a huge huge deal.  Probably one of the biggest developments since 2003...I think this is a good pressure we are now putting on the country.

PARLIAMENT PREEMPTS THE DECISION ON THE PRIME MINISTERIAL CANDIDATE… RASHID: THERE WILL BE NO BUDGET FOR THE CURRENT YEAR, 2026

 PARLIAMENT PREEMPTS THE DECISION ON THE PRIME MINISTERIAL CANDIDATE… RASHID: THERE WILL BE NO BUDGET FOR THE CURRENT YEAR, 2026

The Iraqi Parliament has settled the debate regarding the fate of the draft federal budget law for the current year, 2026, amidst the ongoing crisis surrounding the nomination of a candidate for the position of Prime Minister, a matter on which political and parliamentary circles are still awaiting a resolution.

MP Ahmed Hama Rashid stated to the Iraqi National News Agency ( NINA ),

“There is no budget for the current year, 2026, because the draft budget law must be prepared by mid-May 2025. Therefore, there will be no budget law for the current year.”

He explained, “Financial statements will be issued by the Ministry of Finance and sent to the Federal Board of Supreme Audit, and then approved by Parliament later.” He added,  “The amended Federal Financial Management Law No. 6 of 2019 addresses this situation to facilitate the annual budget by disbursing expenditures at a rate of 1/12 of all expenditures included in the previous budget. This is a legal procedure that is in practice and adopted by Iraqi state institutions.”

Regarding the approval of the final accounts, Rashid explained that “these accounts will be based on official financial statements sent to the Federal Board of Supreme Audit, for preparation, auditing, and reconciliation.”
