Saturday 31 December 2022 10:41 | political Number of readings: 399 Baghdad / NINA / - The head of the Center for Political Thinking, Ihsan Al-Shammari, confirmed: "The crisis of the rise in dollar prices was caused by the US economic" cold "war, and it was exploited by internal parties to blackmail the government.
Al-Shammari said in a statement to the National Iraqi News Agency / NINA /: "The cold war The current relationship between the United States of America and Iran has an economic aspect, given that the first exerts maximum pressure on the second, and thus obliged Iraq not to make financial transfers to Iran, other than electrical energy transfers, in which there was a previous exception during 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 closing banks.
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."
Al-Shammari explained: "These parties are unable to find an achievement for them at the level of political performance, and therefore they found from the crisis of the rise of the dollar the best issue to be a lever for them."
He pointed out that the collapse of the currency greatly affects the standard of living of the poor and middle classes, and this matter is reflected in the Sudanese government, which has developed a promising and ambitious ministerial platform, and is trying to take good measures, so this crisis will shake confidence in the current government.
He concluded by saying: "The state administration coalition failed to support the Sudanese government and undermine the repercussions of the dollar crisis."/ End
