US Blocks Regular $500 Million Cash Pallets Flown To Iraq, Over Pro-Iran Militias
In confirmation of some early reporting we featured at the start of this week, The Wall Street Journal has verified something that Iraqi officials themselves were denying just days ago: the US is blocking Iraq's regular dollar shipments in order to pressure it's Iran-backed militias.

The Bloomberg piece notes that the toll has been severe. At least 3,300 people have been killed across Iran, including civilians, and the physical damage is extensive.
