The New York Times reported today, citing two aides to the Iraqi Prime Minister, that the United States has resumed some dollar shipments by air to Iraq, after suspending them for months in an attempt to pressure the Iraqi government to distance itself from Iran.
According to the newspaper, the resumption of dollar transfers came after a pause that lasted several months, according to what was quoted by the Iraqi Prime Minister’s aides.
Reuters could not immediately verify the authenticity of the report.
This step comes days after the launch of a massive anti-corruption campaign, which was accompanied by the arrests of dozens of political figures and officials in Iraq.
