This opportunity from the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Counterterrorism aims to enhance Iraq’s anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) regime. The focus is on delivering targeted training and technical assistance to disrupt the financial networks of Iran, its proxy groups, and other U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organizations that exploit Iraq’s financial system. The program is expected to yield measurable results by impeding the funding of destabilizing activities and attacks against U.S. interests in the region.
