Ali Mamouri, Al-Monitor: Iran-Iraq tensions rise as Tehran demands war compensation
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said Aug. 7 that Iraq will abide by US sanctions on Iran to protect Iraq's own interests. Abadi spokesman Saad al-Hadithi confirmed Aug. 13 that Iraq will not violate US sanctions on Iran and that “Iraq's stance toward the US sanctions imposed on Iran stems from the general interest of Iraq, and was not impetuous or hasty, but was subjected to study, and was not affected by the positions of other states or political parties.”
After Iraq said it would abide by US sanctions, several Iranian officials raised their voices against Iraq, calling it traitorous and demanding the country pay compensation for damages caused in the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq War that took place under Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, who was executed in 2006.
The controversy over Iraqi acceptance of the US sanctions and then Iran’s demands for war compensation has divided the Iraqi street into two opposing camps.

Do some reading
Iran got back its own money after they agreed to the treaty about nukes how often do right wingers either lie or show how wrong they are?
And stupid ass comments like that is why you leftys will continue to lose elections
Which "treaty" is that Fred?
Fred,
Of course Iran got back to its money, no problem with that, but that's the way it is done! If Iran only tell Iraq is not "shoulder to shoulder" with them after all they did for Iraq, I would understand. But going back to the war with Saddam Hussein....
Fred, that's a run on sentence. And the so-called JCPA was never ratified by the US Senate. It is not today, nor ever was a "treaty".
WIKI,
TIME,
R,
Absolutely. Fred prefers to side with Iran. Let him.
Fred - yes it was their money. But giving Iran - a top terror sponsor - those billions in cash AND (what you always conveniently leave out ) helping them subsequently to circumvent US sanctions through what could be described as money laundering, is the reason why you lose this argument every time and create more republicans every time you defend what Obama did there.
Just. Be. Honest. You cannot convince anyone with distorting the facts.
Why do you have such difficulties with it?
