US halts shipment of Iraq’s oil dollars in bid to curb Iran-linked groups

The US just blocked a plane carrying nearly $500 million in cash to Iraq.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the Treasury stopped the shipment to pressure Iran-linked groups.

That’s a lot of dollar bills.

The move is meant to cut off funding channels. But what happens next is the real question.

Will Iraq push back?
