3 Probably because the Iraqi Dinar is nearly worthless.

Currently One USD = 1,310.05 Iraqi Dinar!

We really need to quit sending other countries our money!

4 What would help more than anything else is to encourage the other countries to develop their own economies!

Without us giving them money! That's what private investors are for!

6 Per Copilot AI:
Iraq’s dependence on U.S. dollar shipments is a structural feature of its economy.
The U.S. controls access because:

The dollars originate from oil revenue held in U.S. accounts

The U.S. must enforce global sanctions and anti‑laundering rules

Physical dollars are uniquely vulnerable to misuse

Iraq’s banking system is still developing stronger compliance mechanisms

This is why the U.S. can halt shipments — and why Iraq must negotiate to restart them.
