The Trump administration has reinstated cash transfers to Iraq following a months-long halt, according to The New York Times. The suspension was part of a broader effort to push the Iraqi government to reduce its ties with Iran. This resumption marks a significant shift in US-Iraq relations. While the exact amount and schedule of the shipments remain undisclosed, the move could stabilize Iraq's economy, which relies heavily on US dollar supplies. Iraqi officials have not yet commented. Analysts suggest that the resumption may ease regional tensions, but questions about Iraq's relationship with Iran persist.
