Iran's economy is supposed to be in a stranglehold from international sanctions, but U.S. officials say Tehran still has access to the international banking system – thanks to Iraq. The U.S. government is looking to the government of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to help stop any sanctions busting. Jill Dougherty reports.

Jannani... As long as violent Muslims in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Palestine, Lebanon and other places are willing to mass murder non-Muslims as well as other Muslims the US and the rest of the world will have no choice but to fight back. It is unfortunate but wars are expensive and trying to protect as many civilians as possible while fighting the militants who're using civilians as shields is even more expensive. If the Americans used the same tactics militant Muslims are using and killed as many of them as possible hundreds of millions of Muslims would be dead and the US would have the astronomical debth it has now.
The author used the words "Iraq" and "helped" in the same sentence!!! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
America has invaded sixty countries since world war 2.
In 1953, America overthrow Iran's democratic government and installed a brutal dictator Shah of Iran. America helped Shah to established secret police and killed hundreds of thousands of Iranians.
During Iran-Iraq war, America helped Saddam Hussein and killed one million Iranians. America is the only country that shot down Iran's civilian air plain and killed all 290 passengers.
In 2003, America invaded Iraq and killed 1,000,000+ innocent Iraqi people and displaced 4,000,000+ Iraqi people.
Now, America is a failed country with huge debt. Its debt will be 24 trillion by 2015.
Every other day a city in America is declaring bankruptcy. ha ha ha
Let's hope so.
This is quit incredible, if true. In fact, it sounds too good to be true. I'm sick and tired of Washington's strong arm tactics and the politics of hunger. There's absolutely no honor in either!!!
Despite territorial and political differences, both nations are ruled by Shia dominated governments and there are strong economic ties between the two nations. So basically, within limits, what's good for Iran is good for Iraq. Surrounded by Sunni's (Saudis, Syrian), who have either sponsored or engaged in active plots to depose the Shia, they are sticking together despite US objections.
That they should do, Portland tony. It's hard to believe however, that Iraq is no longer taking orders from Washington D.C.
I'm sure their getting an earfull, but there's little we can do...We threw Saddam out and democracy flourishes.
That should read ..they are..not their!
