I'm not an economist but from what I understand Iraq was demanding payment in Euros as opposed to US$. A sudden demand for Trillions of Euros at the expense of US$ would considerably devaluate the US currency and possibly lose its prestige (and everything else that goes with it) of being the currency of choice in world trade.
