Washington launched a new financial attack by imposing sanctions on prominent leaders in armed Iraqi factions. This measure aims to dry up funding sources and completely restrict these leaders' internal and external movement. Washington confirms these militias exploit the Iraqi
economy to fund activities destabilizing the entire region. Experts believe this step is part of a broader strategy to isolate Iran's arms in the Middle East. These sanctions place the Iraqi banking system before strict legal challenges to avoid falling
under accountability. The American decisions sparked a wave of widespread anger and condemnation from political blocs close to Tehran. Factions are expected to respond by escalating political rhetoric and perhaps conducting military shows of defiance. These measures reflect the continuation
of the strict American approach towards Iran's proxies despite temporary truces. It has become clear the Iraqi arena will remain a major score-settling ground between the US and Iran. The Iraqi street demands keeping the country away from these conflicts
that drain its resources and halt development.
