The representative of the Sadiqoun parliamentary bloc, Rafiq Hashem, accused America of practicing economic warfare against Iraq, stressing that the trend towards Russia and China is the only salvation from American hegemony.
Al-Salihi told Al-Maalouma Agency, “America is waging an economic war against Iraq in order to keep its forces in the country, indicating that America is preventing Iraq from obtaining its money from oil sales.”
He added, “America is plotting a new economic conspiracy against the Iraqi people by reducing financial transfers to Iraq, which has led to an increase in the exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar.”
