Shafaq News/ Friday, the State of Law bloc held those it described as “people of weak souls” who control some private banks and companies responsible for the crisis of the dollar’s high prices, while it rejected in principle the American intervention in the file of the crowd and Iraq’s relations with neighboring countries.
A member of the bloc, Muhammad al-Sayhoud, told Shafaq News agency, “Some weak-minded people who control private companies and banks bear the bulk of the crisis of the dollar’s rise because of their continuing policies of currency smuggling with forged bills, which allowed the US side to exploit the dollar as a political pressure card.”
Al-Sayhoud added, “If the news circulating about imposing American conditions on Iraq regarding its relations with neighboring countries, or interfering with the file of the popular crowd by exploiting the dollar crisis, is correct, then it is unacceptable, and wills cannot be imposed on Iraq affecting its internal and external affairs.”
Chihoud continued, “The current government is serious and continuing to address the dollar crisis by adopting new plans and policies that add to its success in the field of services and improvement in living conditions, and the heavy negative legacy it inherited from previous governments.”
The Iraqi dinar recorded a significant decline against the dollar on the Baghdad and Erbil stock exchanges, just a few days after the imposition of US sanctions against 14 private banks, preceded by the imposition of sanctions on 4 others, due to violations related to its dealings with entities that Washington imposes sanctions on, most notably Tehran.
