Thom – Dinar Guru Iraq has a new government. It’s functional but incomplete, and the hardest decisions are still unresolved...What’s still unresolved: Nine ministries remain unfilled including Defense, Interior, Planning, Culture, Higher Education, Labor, Migration, Housing, and Youth. Defense and Interior are the two that matter most because they control the security apparatus and are directly tied to the weapons disarmament push. Washington refused to resume transfer of certain dollar assets to Iraq while pressuring Baghdad not to seat affiliates of Iran-backed militia groups in cabinet posts…Who fills Defense and Interior will signal more about this government’s actual direction than any written policy commitment.
