[via PDK] Some news today “US permits Iraq to release billions to Iran” Why is this important? Even though Iran is under sanctions right now- Iraq has been allowed to finish paying them settlements left over from the Iraqi war. Also to pay for power and electricity that is coming from Iran. This is important because we were told this was one of the last things along with paying Kuwait before they could move forward with ascension to the World Trade Organization and change the value of their currency.
