Al-Shammari said in a statement to the National Iraqi News Agency (NINA): “The current cold war between the United States of America and Iran has an economic aspect, given that the first exerts maximum pressure on the second, and therefore obliged Iraq not to make financial transfers to Iran, other than electricity energy transfers, in which there was a previous exception during the previous governments.
He added: “There seem to be financial transfers with attempts by political parties to control some important financial positions for the purpose of circumventing US sanctions, and therefore everything that is happening is the result of the US-Iranian conflict, and it is not a matter of banks and their closure.” LINK
