Contesto

The Trump administration has suspended dollar shipments to Iraq and frozen security cooperation programs with the Iraqi military, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal, in a sweeping bid to pressure Baghdad into dismantling Iran-backed armed factions operating across the country. The move, described by the newspaper as a significant escalation in Washington’s leverage campaign, targets the flow of U.S. currency that underpins Iraq’s economy and the joint counterterrorism training and intelligence-sharing programs that have been pillars of bilateral security ties since the fight against the Islamic State. The suspension of dollar shipments threatens to exacerbate liquidity shortages in Iraq’s banking sector and could destabilize the Iraqi dinar’s exchange rate, which relies heavily on regular injections of U.S. currency from the Federal Reserve. The decision comes amid growing frustration within the Trump administration over the Iraqi government’s failure to rein in the Popular Mobilization Forces and other Shiite militias that have deep ties to Tehran. These groups, which were formally incorporated into the Iraqi state security apparatus after the defeat of ISIS, have continued to operate with significant autonomy, launching rockets at U.S. diplomatic and military facilities and targeting American interests in the region. Washington has long demanded that Baghdad assert full control over these armed groups, but successive Iraqi governments have been reluctant or unable to confront them due to their political influence and popular support among Shiite constituencies. The freezing of security programs adds a military dimension to the economic pressure. Joint exercises, equipment deliveries, and advisory missions that have helped professionalize the Iraqi army and maintain its capability against ISIS remnants are now on hold. Analysts say this could create a vacuum that the militias might exploit, while also weakening the Iraqi state’s ability to counter the very threats the U.S. wants it to address. The Iraqi military remains heavily dependent on American logistical support, spare parts, and intelligence for its air force and special operations units....
