Story summary
  • The United States resumed limited air shipments of dollars to Iraq after a freeze.
  • The freeze began in April when U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration withheld oil revenues to pressure Iraq over Iran.
  • Iraqi officials Haider al-Aboudi and Mudhar Muhammad Salih said the cash shipments resumed, security assistance stays suspended, and the pause coincided with a new prime-minister selection while the United States sought to block Iran-friendly candidates.
