Iraq to fully de-dollarize cash transactions by year's end | The Craddle
With more than $100 billion in reserves held by US banks, Baghdad heavily relies on the goodwill of US officials to ensure the economy doesn't collapse. Furthermore, since 2003, all Iraqi oil revenues have been paid into an account with the US Federal Reserve, allowing Washington to control the Iraqi economy and pressure its government.

🇮🇱 🇮🇶🇮🇷🇸🇾 While the global community speculates about when the IDF ground operation in Gaza Strip will begin, in Iraq and Syria, the parties involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are busy creating the illusion of an ongoing struggle between them.
This morning, the Israeli Air Force once again targeted the airports in Damascus and Aleppo in Syria, which they had previously attacked last week. The bombings damaged the newly reconstructed runways, resulting in flight delays and cancellations.
📌 Essentially, these airstrikes are similar to the shelling of American bases by pro-Iranian groups: while some attempt to demonstrate their unwavering commitment to the war against the "Zionist occupiers," the latter are determined to confront the "Axis of Resistance" on distant battlefields.
What these attacks have in common is that they do not cause significant damage. The strikes on Syrian airports are unlikely to seriously disrupt the logistics of Iran or Hezbollah, especially considering the amount of cargo that regularly passes through the Al Bukamal border crossing on the Iraqi border.
Despite the loud slogans and mutual threats, neither side has escalated the situation thus far, limiting themselves to mere displays of action. This arrangement proves to be quite convenient: it allows for the selling of a dramatic image of all-out war with the enemy to the public, without actually engaging in it.
