The United States has taken significant steps to curb the influence of Iranian-backed militia groups in Iraq by halting dollar shipments and freezing security ties. Following a series of militia strikes, sources confirm that the US has blocked funding, prompting accusations from political groups in Iraq who claim the US is using this tactic to pressure Baghdad. The US Treasury has designated several militia commanders as terrorists and is offering rewards for information on militia leaders, intensifying efforts to combat threats posed by these factions. As tensions mount, the US Embassy has issued warnings to American citizens in Iraq, urging them to leave immediately due to the escalating threat level from Iran-aligned groups.
