Al-Shammari continued: "The United States committed Iraq not to transfer money to Iran at all, and this is the reason for the dollar's rise simply."

He pointed out: "External parties have blackmailed the government in an attempt to obtain some financial positions, and an attempt to put pressure on the current prime minister, if he thinks of moving forward with a policy of balance in Iraq's foreign relations, and its internal and external dealings."
