The United States blocked dollar shipments to Iraq to pressure Baghdad over Iran-aligned militias.
The US Treasury blocked a cargo plane carrying nearly $500 million in US banknotes drawn from Iraqi oil revenues held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. This was the second scheduled dollar shipment to Iraq's central bank delayed since a US-Israel war on Iran began in late February. US officials described the suspension as temporary but did not specify conditions for resumption.
