An Iranian official has revealed strict measures taken by the government of former Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi to limit remittances in the interest of the Iranian economy, as reported by Akhbar al-Khaleej newspaper.

Moussaoui accused the Abadi government of bowing to US demands to clamp down on Iran by monitoring remittances and not allowing the flow of money to Iran illegally, pointing out that the Central Bank of Iraq was carrying out instructions from Washington on foreign financial transfers.

Hosseini's remarks coincided with the announcement in Iran of agreements signed by Iranian President Hassan Rowhani in the interest of the Iranian economy.

For his part, the Iraqi parliament warned the government of Abdul Mahdi of the consequences of rushing behind Iran's economic support, and defiance of US sanctions on Tehran.

"The warning to the Iraqi government that Iran's economic support will be severely damaged by Iraq's higher interests.
