Iraq has lost tens of billions of dollars in revenue since the Iran war began in late February, after the closure of the Strait of Hormuz slashed oil exports, according to an aide to the country’s leader.

Several development projects in Opec’s second-largest oil exporter have stalled because of the cash crisis as crude sales account for the bulk of Iraq’s income, said Mudhar Saleh, a financial adviser to newly installed prime minister Ali Al-Zaidi.

Since 1945, American foreign policy has obeyed a systemic invariant: maintaining the world in a state of structural vassalage. This Pax Americana, which is nothing more than a myth shrouded in economic violence and military coercion, is crumbling.

Le 28 février 2026, en douze heures, l’aviation américaine et israélienne a frappé l’Iran près de neuf cents fois et tué son Guide suprême. En représailles, Téhéran a fermé le détroit d’Ormuz.

The United States has resumed attacks on Iran. The memorandum of understanding that Tehran and Washington struck last month in Switzerland, hanging by a thread for weeks, has finally fallen apart. “I think it’s over,” U.S. President Donald Trump said on July 8. “I don’t want to deal with [Iran] anymore.”

AL-MANSOURI, Lebanon—The road into Al-Mansouri winds through a shattered landscape. A barber shop stands without walls, its broken mirror still clinging to the remaining structure.
