🔶 The withdrawal of US forces from Iraq and the US plan to control Iraq's oil revenues

According to a Reuters report from Dubai, US forces are scheduled to leave their last bases in Iraq on Wednesday, September 30 (October 8). The Islamic Republic and its allies, which have extensive infiltration into Iraq, view this action as a victory.

Iraq is a country where 4,500 Americans lost their lives during more than two decades of war.

However, since the ground invasion of Iraq in 2003, America has had effective control over the country's petrodollar revenues.

This issue has given Washington significant leverage to infiltrate Baghdad's affairs and has had implications for regional equations, including regarding Iran. This control stems primarily from the management of Iraq's oil revenues through the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
