Highlights & Insights:

🇺🇸 U.S. Financial Leverage: Moeen Al‑Kadhimi, Iraq’s Parliamentary Finance member, asserts that the United States controls Iraq’s financial transfers via the SWIFT system, heavily restricting Iraq’s ability to transact freely.
🏦 Central Bank Pressure: Washington’s influence over SWIFT is used to pressure the Central Bank of Iraq, limiting which countries Iraq can deal with and stifling its trade and import functions.
🎯 Political Tool: The control is framed not just as economic oversight but as a political strategy—restricting fund flows to align Iraq’s policies with U.S. interests.

🔓 Lacking Financial Sovereignty: According to Al‑Kadhimi, Iraq has not attained independent financial control. These interventions favor external agendas over Iraq’s own market and security needs.
⚠️ Sovereignty in Question: In commentary, Mnt Goat notes that with PMF militias backed by Iran still active, true sovereignty is compromised. Loud claims of autonomy mean little when key levers like finance remain under foreign influence.
