Forgive me, I don't know how these things work. But Iraq and Iran are their own countries, so why do they need "permission" from the US to do a transfer?

Sounds like sanctions. If Iraq does business with a sanctioned country, US relations with Iraq would be damaged. So it's not like the US is the middleman here, but more that Iraq wants to maintain good relations with the US and thus will work within the US' sanctions.
Ohh so it's more like asking your friend "would you be mad at me if I did this"? That makes sense
