The government acknowledges the halt in dollar flow from America to Iraq: temporary and related to a very limited aspect.

 The Iraqi government downplayed reports of a dollar supply crisis today, describing the current halt in cash shipments as "temporary and short-term." Mudher Mohammad Saleh noted that the global banking system continues to process trade transfers without interruption, and that logistical difficulties in transporting "cash" by air will not affect general financial stability. The government urged citizens to reduce reliance on direct cash and move toward electronic payment cards in foreign currency as a strategic option to overcome air transport obstacles and ensure the flow of financial transactions amidst the challenges of 2026.
