What happened
The Iraqi government announced that it had reached an understanding with the U.S. to resume dollar cash shipments to Iraq after a months-long suspension, an Iraqi government spokesman said on September 27, 2026. The suspension began in April, as the U.S. pressed Baghdad to curb the influence of Iran-backed armed groups. These shipments are intended to help meet Iraq’s domestic demand for foreign currency.
Why it matters
The resumption of these shipments follows a period of intense geopolitical pressure on Iraq. This follows a timeline where the U.S. applied pressure on Iraqi factions, while Iran's parliament speaker was scheduled to visit Iraq to discuss regional stability.
