The threat focuses on the structural dependency of the Iraqieconomy on the Federal Reserve, which manages the accounts where the revenue of Iraqis deposited. While successive administrations in the UShave sanctioned more than a dozen Iraqibanks in recent years to curb illicit activity, the United Stateshas never previously curtailed the direct flow of dollars from the New York Fed to the Central Bank of Iraq.
