RV Excerpts Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of 19 June 2024

Compiled Wed. 19 June 2024 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Payout for Tier Groups involved in the RV: (Rumors/Opinions)

The Dubai Accounts Funds the RV: Dubai 1 funds Tiers 1&2 of the RV and Dubai 2 funds Tiers 3&4 of the RV, while Dubai 3 funds the Adjudicated Accounts and GESARA.

The payout of the Bonds and Currency is done in order of the different tiers. There are five Tiers that will be exchanging: Tiers 1, 2, 3, 4 &5.

Liquidity Release is done in a certain order. The Elders, German Bonds and select Yellow Dragon Bonds must be paid first and have been.
A. Dubai 1 released for liquidity which then triggers Dubai 2&3.
B. F&P’s (Fines and penalties) are released to recipients (they need D1 liquid, this is their hold up)
C. Bonds will be liquid (they need D1 to be liquid)
1-4b are notified. (they need D1 to be liquid)

It appears all is set to go on or about the same time!

Tier 1 Sovereign Nation Debt of Governments: Chinese Royals, Bond Holders, Paymasters, Church Groups, CMKX, F&P, Adjudicated Settlements, Ranch and Farm Claims and other groups.

Tier 2 Royals, Elders, Whales, Military Generals and some political type Elites with platforms of currency, corporations, etc.

Tier 3 Admirals Group, American Indians, CMKX, large church groups like the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Pentecostal group was now 100% under an NDA. Tier 3 was all Dubai 2 Trust Money and originally was the Generals and public. Now Tier 3 includes groups with projects including the Admiral.

The Admiral was sent to the back of the line and renamed Tier 4A (really just a pie slice of tier 3). The Admiral’s Group was composed of three parts – most notable of which was Tier4a Core groups and 130 VIP groups.

Tier 4B, (us, the Internet Group) is the largest group and composed of the general public who paid attention to the Intel – the people who have bought currency and/or bonds and kept up with the reset by way of information on the Internet.

Tier 5 The general public who never paid attention to the Intel.

The official GO for Tier 4b has not been released yet. It can happen any moment.

As all Tier1-4b are funded, we await the final release to reach to our level. It’s a process. It’s tedious and time consuming – making adjustments as needed along the way for accuracy and safety of all involved. It’s a very quiet & discrete operation, where the general public is left uninformed for obvious reasons. Pay attention to the levels that are ahead of us. That will help give a better understanding of where we are, in relation to it reaching the 4b level. BUT, it is unfolding. And when it reaches our levels, there will be no doubts. It’s coming! Keep the faith.

Global Financial Crisis:

As of June 9, 2024 the Petro Dollar ended, meaning that the decades-long agreement between The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the USA to sell Saudi Oil exclusively using US dollars has ended… It’s kaput!

Old fiat Federal Reserve US Dollar vs New gold/asset-backed US Note: The monetary system we rely on today is a construct designed by central bankers to benefit themselves and control the masses. The Federal Reserve Note, commonly known as the US dollar, was created to keep people in financial bondage. But now, we have a unique opportunity to break free from this system. The flaws and corruption of the old system are becoming clear, and we have the chance to move toward a new reality. This new form of money is transparent, asset-backed, and owned by the people. It’s designed to preserve wealth, gain value over time, and serve as a reliable store of value, unit of measure, and medium of exchange. Stay hopeful. The old system is collapsing, and we are on the brink of a new system that is designed for a ‘Level Playing Field’.

Malaysian Currency Now On RV Path in BRICS Gold-Backed Alliance. Prime Minister Declares Strategic Intention to Join BRICS Alliance which leading to a significant RV of the Malaysian Ringgit (MYR). https://ai3d.blog/malaysian-currency-now-on-rv-path-in-brics-gold-backed-alliance/

Gold Standard Restoration Act:

This bill requires the Department of the Treasury to define the Federal Reserve note dollar in terms of a fixed weight of gold, based on that day’s closing market price of gold. Federal Reserve Banks must exchange Federal Reserve notes with gold at this price and create processes to facilitate exchanges between banks and the public. If a Federal Reserve Bank does not do this, Treasury must make any exchange and place a corresponding lien on the assets of that bank.

In addition, Treasury and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve must report on U.S. gold holdings.

If you have doubts about what is coming, consider this: many countries are buying gold at record rates. Some are even reevaluating their currencies by backing them with gold and moving away from the US dollar. Blockchain technology is now minting real-world assets like gold, providing a more transparent way to validate information. We must remember that gold and silver have always been considered “God’s money,” a cornerstone of financial stability.

Historically, efforts to return to a gold and silver monetary standard have failed because technology was suppressed, and a few maintained control over the financial ledger. However, for the first time in human history, we can leverage AI and advanced technology to secure our financial future. This is a pivotal moment, ensuring greater transparency and trust in our monetary systems.

Major US Banks Have Started Dumping Everything!

Atlantis Report:  6-18-2024

The financial situation in the United States is experiencing a significant change as major banks are selling off assets at an unprecedented rate. This move is caused by the imminent commercial real estate crisis, bad loans, and high interest rates.

This situation is not just a financial maneuver but a response to deep-seated issues affecting the stability of the banking sector.

 As banks hurry to get rid of assets, the consequences are widespread, affecting everything from the availability of credit to confidence in the financial system itself.

Tishwash: Behind the scenes of an exciting session of merchants and restaurant owners who “invested” in the exchange rate difference in Iraq

A lengthy report by the American newspaper “The National” reviewed the scenes of investing in the exchange rate difference in Iraq, where businessmen, merchants, and restaurant owners benefited by operating their money in this trade, by withdrawing the dollar from the central bank and selling it on the black market, which achieved huge and rapid profits in this way, However, the recent actions of the Central Bank caused problems between these partners due to losses.

The report, translated by “Baghdad Today,” says, “Despite recent efforts for reforms, challenges remain, and well-connected businessmen are still exploiting loopholes in the foreign currency sales window managed by the Central Bank of Iraq to make obscene amounts of money.” From the margin between the official exchange rate and the black market rate.

The National spoke to dozens of businessmen who said the strict measures had helped simplify the import process and forced many to formalize their transactions, but they said there was still room for manipulation.

One of the businessmen said: “There are still ways to circumvent the procedures,” adding that  “falsifying invoices and arrangements at border crossings and manipulating the prices of goods by setting inflated prices by exporters are among the common methods.”

In a room decorated with intricate tapestries and ornate tapestries, The National attended a tense meeting of businessmen, their faces etched with a mixture of frustration and resignation.

They have banded together to resolve a months-long financial crisis that has escalated beyond the bounds of legality, plunging them into the murky waters of clan diplomacy.

By accessing a government-run platform offering US dollars at the official rate, a businessman lured other traders with a deal promising them huge profits from the spread between official and black market rates, sources involved told The National.

With hundreds of millions of Iraqi dinars in circulation, traders received unexpected cash gains. But as the days and months passed, the businessman found himself unable to pay his debts, leaving the merchants in a precarious situation.

No official complaint was filed against him, and the businessman did not face any trial.

“It is clear that we have reached an impasse,” a representative of the businessman who lives in a neighboring country told the audience, who exchanged wary glances. "We can't continue down this path. It's time to cut our losses."

His proposal hung in the air, and was met with hesitant votes of approval.

Giving up half of the two billion Iraqi dinars was a bitter pill to swallow, but it seemed the only viable option in the face of mounting losses and uncertainty.

The owner of a famous restaurant chain in Baghdad told The National newspaper after the meeting: “We say that whoever loses half his money is not a loser.”

“At least I have half my capital in my hands – better than nothing,” he said.

“There is no business that allows you to hit the jackpot like taking advantage of the exchange rate margin in a short period of time, which is why we invested heavily with him.

He added: "Over the past months, he has been paying us on time, but it seems that he has been having problems recently."  link

CandyKisses:  Urgent The first official holiday of its kind in Iraq next Tuesday

{Local: Al-Furat News}

On Tuesday of next week, Iraq will witness the first official holiday of its kind in the country.

June 25 falls on the 18th of Dhu al-Hijjah, and will be an official holiday in the Iraqi provinces on the occasion of Eid al-Ghadir, which was recently approved by parliament.
A member of the parliamentary legal committee, Aref Hamami, said that "the holiday will include all Iraqi provinces, including the Kurdistan region" as a federal holiday.

The Alawite holy shrine in Najaf has begun preparations to celebrate Eid al-Ghadir.
It is noteworthy that the House of Representatives voted on the law on public holidays on May 22, which includes about 11 days a year, as well as public official holidays, which are Friday and Saturday, with the authority of the Council of Ministers to cancel the Saturday holiday when necessary.

The official holidays law, which was voted by parliament, includes, Friday and Saturday as official holidays throughout Iraq, in addition to Eid al-Fitr and al-Adha, Labor Day, Eid al-Ghadir, the 10th of Muharram, the first of Muharram, the Prophet's birthday 12 Rabi' al-Awwal, New Year's Day, Army Day 6 of January, Nowruz 21 March, and 16 March was added at the last moment, which is the day or anniversary of the Halabja tragedy.

The law also granted some "dedicated" public holidays, i.e. not public, to minorities, including Jesus, Sabians and Yazidis.

The law also included the deletion of important and detailed occasions in the history of Iraq and Iraqis, including July 14, which is the anniversary of the fall of the monarchy and the founding of the republic, and two important occasions were not included in the law and were deleted, which is December 10, the anniversary of the victory over ISIS, as well as the Iraqi National Day on the third of October, which is the anniversary of Iraq's accession to the League of Nations and its official recognition as a state.

The Day of Ghadir is the eighteenth day of the month of Dhu al-Hijjah of the tenth year of the Prophet's migration, and it is the day on which the greatest Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) Ali bin Abi Talib (peace be upon him) was appointed successor after him.

Militia Man   All we're looking for now, to some degree, is when are they going show these amendments to be law.  We heard different things about the president having to sign, not sign, we have 15 days time frames and people are debating on when that time frame starts - was it June 3rd or was it the day he received it?  Do we know the exact day he received it?  I don't.   But we know our time is short...Once the amendments are passed into law, we'd like to think that prior to that they're going to expose the new real effective exchange rate and probably mention they've done the project to delete the zeros which get you the nominal effective exchange rate.

BRICS Overtake EU: What Next?

Fastpo:  6-18-2024

In 2024, BRICS+ has significantly expanded its membership, including nations such as Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.

 This expansion enhances the bloc's economic and demographic influence on a global scale. Collectively, BRICS+ now accounts for about 37.3% of the global GDP and represents 46.5% of the world's population.

Before the inclusion of new members, the original BRICS countries had a combined GDP of $27.7 trillion, or 26% of the global GDP.

With the new additions, this figure rises to approximately $30.8 trillion, pushing their share of the global GDP to around 29%.

Moreover, in terms of purchasing power parity (PPP), the expanded BRICS now accounts for over 36% of global GDP, surpassing the G7's share.

This video delves into the contrasting approaches of the EU and BRICS, exploring how the EU's environmental and sustainability initiatives stack up against the economic ambitions of BRICS.

We examine how these differing priorities are likely to shape the future of international economic cooperation and efforts towards global sustainability.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

The New International Valuation Standards (IVS) will become effective January 31st, 2025.

The latest version includes new chapters on:

* Data & Inputs,
* Documentation,
* Financial Instruments.

"The International Valuation Standards (IVS) are a framework used by valuation professionals in over 100 countries to ensure consistency, transparency, and confidence in valuations."

The most significant changes will result in Data Models and Money Flow by which these new mechanisms will move payments through new Digital Networks.

New valuations in currency values are part of these valuations due to new ways of doing business around the world involving the use of Local Currency over a World Reserve Asset.

The currency valuation adjustments that take place between now and then on the markets, however distorted they may get during this time, will help give rise to New Market Data that will go into the computations of these new standards.  IVSC   IVSC Standards Glossary   Linkedin

Gold Is The Solution To Monetary Lies & Theft | Newman

There's growing awareness about the corruption in the monetary system.

Precious metals, sound money, are the only solution to the lies and theft that plague our current financial system.

Hundreds More Banks Risk Failing This Summer: Nothing Was Fixed Warns Top Economist

Daniela Cambone:  6-17-2024

At this point, we have a banking system that is sick. I mean, it's just crippled,” says Peter St. Onge, a former MBA professor and Ph.D. economist.

 In an exclusive interview with Daniela Cambone, St. Onge delivers a stark warning about the fragility of the US banking system, revealing the alarming dependence on the Treasury and Federal Reserve for financial survival.

Without their support, he asserts, "the entire US banking system for sure would be bankrupt."

St. Onge also criticizes politicians for being woefully out of touch with the real issues facing ordinary Americans. "

They don't even appear to be paying attention to what the people want. They're going after farmers for cow farts when the issue is that the median voter can't afford to go to McDonald's.

I mean, they're just almost comically out of touch," he remarks.

BRICS 2024: XRP In The Spotlight As Russia Confirms New BRICS Payment System

Geopolitical Analyst:  6-18-2024

The BRICS group is advancing its currency sufficiency scheme with the potential development of its own independent payment system.

 Is XRP In View as BRICS Bridge Currency? According to a research paper first spotted by XRP enthusiast Amelia, Russian President Vladimir Putin has confirmed that the bloc is finally moving forward with its alternative currency plan.

From the report, there are indications the bloc would explore the use of Ripple-associated XRP for cross-border settlements.

Before now, the Bank of Russia introduced a project on cross-border transfer implementation. This project reportedly considered the use of the Ripple payment system. It was perceived as an excellent basis for the development of a system for cross-border settlements for the group.

It is worth noting that XRP is known for its transaction speed and low costs. Hence, it seem like a viable system the bloc is considering to revolutionize its international payment goals.

 This move to adopt the cryptocurrency may trigger a massive jump in the price of XRP. CEO & Founder of Cryptonairz, Robert Doyle (Crypto Sensei) believes that XRP’s price may reach $10,000 if BRICS countries adopt it widely.

There is a general opinion that member countries in BRICS stands to gain so much from choosing XRP as their alternative to the United States dollars. The volatile currencies and developing economies of these nations are perceived as challenges that XRP could improve.

Tishwash:  Iraq is the first Arab country in developing oil pipelines

Iraq ranked first, as the most developed Arab country for oil pipelines, according to data issued by the specialized Global Energy Monitor platform, until May 2024.

The Arabian Gulf is among the most important regions witnessing oil pipeline construction projects globally, in light of the leadership role it plays in the global market and its possession of huge crude reserves.

Iraq topped the list of the most developed Arab countries for oil pipelines, and the oil pipeline projects - proposed and under construction - reach 3.83 thousand kilometers, divided between 75 kilometers under construction and 3.756 thousand kilometers proposed.

The marine export pipeline project, with an investment cost of $416.9 million, is scheduled to be implemented during the years 2024 and 2025, and will be implemented by the Dutch company Royal Boskalis.

This comes as the country implements plans to increase its oil production to 8 million barrels per day by 2027, contributing to Iraq topping the list of the most developed Arab countries for oil pipelines.

It is noteworthy that Iraq has about 15 lines for transporting oil, with a length of 2.09 thousand miles, and 10 lines with a length of 1.53 thousand miles for transporting petroleum derivatives, according to data issued by the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC). link

CandyKisses:  Shameless and unacceptable statements... Al-Sahhaf calls for restraining the American ambassador

Information / Baghdad.

The spokesman for the popular legal movement, Mohammed Al-Sahaf, on Tuesday, rejected the US trusteeship over Iraq, calling on the government to rein in the new US ambassador Tracy Jacobson.

Al-Sahhaf said in a statement to the Information Agency that "the new US Ambassador Tracy Jacobson's provocative statements have floated a set of UN resolutions."

He added that "the intervention of the new Washington ambassador to Baghdad is negative and reprehensible and a clear interference in the affairs of a sovereign state," noting that "the Iraqi people reject the American trusteeship of Iraq."

"The US ambassador's statements are rude and unacceptable, and it is not the Iraqi people who are subject to US tutelage," he said.

Tishwash: Parliamentary Legal: Representatives enjoy vacation and there is no emergency session

 The head of the Legal Committee in the House of Representatives, Rebwar Hadi, confirmed today, Monday (June 17, 2024), that there will be no emergency session to elect a Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Hadi told "Baghdad Today", "Members of Parliament are now enjoying the legislative recess, and there is no talk of an emergency session regarding the election of a Speaker of Parliament."

He added, "The issue of choosing a speaker for parliament requires political consensus, and there is no consensus yet regarding choosing the president."

It is noteworthy that the position of presidency of the House of Representatives has been vacant for more than 7 months, with the House failing more than once to elect a president due to the lack of consensus among the Sunni forces in electing one of the candidates.

In the latest developments in the file, the representative of the Al-Fatah Alliance, Mukhtar Al-Moussawi, confirmed on (June 9, 2024) the existence of a political consensus to resolve the election of the Speaker of the House of Representatives after the Eid Al-Adha holiday.

Al-Moussawi told "Baghdad Today", "There is a political consensus to resolve the election of the Speaker of the House of Representatives after the Eid al-Adha holiday, and there is no intention to keep Mohsen al-Mandalawi on the part of any party in the coordination framework."  link

Judy Note: Iraqi PM Sudani has announced on Iraqi TV that before the end of the holiday, which was this Wed. 19 June, that the Iraqi citizens will have their new exchange rate, access to the new ATM’s and the lower denominations.

That much awaited for announcement of an Iraqi Dinar revaluation was the kingpin of the Global Currency Reset for 209 Sovereign nations of the World’s currencies to go gold/asset-backed.

Such would essentially dissolve the privately-owned-by-Cabal Banker’s Federal Reserve and IRS, plus officially bury their fiat US Dollar. The fiat US Dollar was said set to be revalued downward on Sun. 23 June 2024 – and cause a major Global Financial Crisis.

Goldilocks' Comments and Global Economic News Monday Evening 6-17-24

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

The stock market has finally reached a topping phase. Look for the markets to begin leveling out and retracting at any moment.

Long-term fundamentals indicate that we are heading into a reset zone. These zones do not happen overnight and can sometimes take months to complete their cycles.

Even though most stock assets have turned towards a downward trend, the tech stocks in NASDAQ are holding many of the indexes up at the moment.

Many tech stocks are currently overvalued, so it is important that we watch this sector of the market as well closely.

We are currently in a tech bubble, but all bubbles do burst. The only thing keeping this Market from going to its real values lies in the fact that the government keeps pumping it with money.

Even if money does continue to be placed into the system to hold it up, I want you to know that we are heading into a movement that will take us into real values behind the scenes.

"XRP Officially Decouples From Bitcoin"

In financial markets, decoupling happens when the returns of one asset class moves in a different direction from their expected or normal pattern of correlations with other assets.

The days of XRP and Bitcoin rising and falling together appears to be taking new paths. Perhaps, Ripple is about to leave the nest.

Is XRP developing a life of its own based on its support levels or financial support systems giving it life?

Maybe, just maybe, we have a new leader of the pack. Ripple appears to be ready to "run with the wolves."   Trading View

Frank26  The ATM machines IMO are being loaded up.  IMO we have some US military forces protecting these ATM machines that are being loaded with he lower denomination notes that will reflect a new exchange rate...They are distributing them all over.  Banks are assigned to fill them up with lower notes.  I don't know if they're doing it now or if they have done it or they're in the process of doing it.  That's the phase I believe these ATM machines are in right now.

Walkingstick  When they load or if they have loaded them up [new ATMs], the note count has already been determined.  The note count for each individual machine has already been accounted for...These machines will be the state of the art...State of the art has nothing to do with a program rate.  If it was they would have had the state-or-the-art with the program rate for the last 20 years...The CBI is desperately trying to put out the least amount of currency at the onset before they release the new exchange rate.  Because once they do this, if needed, they will be able to add to this note count as the value is needed.

De-dollarization: 27 Countries Ditch US dollar

Fastpo:  6-17-2024

Countries and regional groups are increasingly diversifying away from the US dollar in trade transactions.

This trend, known as de-dollarization, aims to reduce dependency on a single currency and promote economic stability by utilizing a mix of currencies.

By embracing their own monetary units more prominently, nations seek to lower geopolitical risks and bolster local economies.

This evolving landscape is reshaping global trade and finance dynamics and has the potential to alter the significance of the US dollar in the global economy.

In this video, we delve into the recent shifts by various countries towards reducing their reliance on the US dollar in international transactions.

We explore the motivations behind these decisions and provide insights into their economic strategies.

 Furthermore, we analyze the de-dollarization initiatives within the BRICS+ bloc, focusing on the substantial measures these nations have implemented to broaden the scope of currencies used in global trade.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

EBA Announcement:

The European Banking Authority (EBA) has launched their comprehensive technical standards. This is for their Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulations, and it has been completed ahead of the July deadline.

These guidelines will provide financial and technical safety in the Web3 sector within the European Union (EU).  

Web 3.0 is the next phase of the internet built on blockchain technology. It will take our banking system into a Decentralized Financial System that is an open bank data system allowing for third-party connections and much safer to use. It gives the user more control over their finances.

These new published standards will serve as guidelines going forward in the following areas:
* liquidity requirements,
* stress testing programs,
* asset reserves,
* and recovery plans.

"The EBA’s guidelines also encompass regulatory oversight on asset-referenced tokens (ARTs) and e-money tokens (EMTs). ARTs maintain stable value by linking to other assets or fiat currencies, while EMTs represent digital versions of traditional fiat currencies, including central bank digital currencies (CBDCs)."

With this announcement, the European Banking Authority is now able to move forward with their fully regulated Markets in Crypto Assets.

The new Digital Asset Based Trading System in Europe has just taken its first step into the new Quantum Financial System. This new regulated Digital Financial System is now the model going forward for the rest of our countries around the world.

We're still waiting for these regulations to become law on June 30th, 2024. Our world is changing financially and personally. Europe took the first step into this brand new world. Many will follow. Coin Trust

Congratulations Europe!

This decrease in the use of the dollar and increase in local currencies around the world will begin the process of leveling the playing field in the currency markets.

New demands on local currencies that have not been used in years will begin to surface new price actions.    Barrons

CandyKisses:  Iraq is preparing to establish a project that changes the oil map. Does it affect energy producers?

Economy News - Baghdad

Iraq's budget for the current year 2024 allocated an amount of $4.9 billion to establish a pipeline that extends from Basra in the far south of Iraq on the waters of the Gulf, to a city of Hadithi, located in the far west of Iraq within the Anbar border province with Jordan and Syria, which means the return of life to the Iraq-Jordan project, which has been witnessing political opposition inside Baghdad for years, and the export of Iraqi oil through Jordan to the world through the Mediterranean, considering that the project was mainly related to the construction of the oil pipeline through two stages, the first to Haditha, which is the longest, and the second to enter the neighboring Jordanian territory.

The project has for years witnessed controversy over economic feasibility, along with opposition from political and armed forces and parties allied to Tehran, describing the project as allowing Iraqi oil to reach the Israeli occupation, but the proposals provided by oil economists and experts confirm that opening a third export outlet for Iraq other than the waters of the Arabian Gulf and Turkey will give Iraq an advantage over Iran and Saudi Arabia in terms of export diversity, especially in times of military and political tensions in the Middle East.

Iraqi Oil Ministry adviser Ahmed Al-Omar said that the arrival of the pipe to Hadith, western Iraq, means the possibility that Iraq will transport its oil not only through Jordanian territory and then Aqaba, but also through the Syrian port of Baniyas. Al-Omar added that “the project will change the map of the oil industry and its production in the region and give Iraq a great advantage over other oil neighbors.” By approving the amount allocated for the start of the project, according to age, the government will start working on the implementation phase, stressing that Iraqi companies will work on it, and the pipe will be implemented through the Iraqi Ministry of Industry as well.

a strategic project

The Director General of the Oil Projects Company, Ali Ward Hammoud, said, “The Oil Pipeline Project in Hara is considered one of the most important strategic projects of the oil movement in Iraq, and it enhances the economy by enabling the country to export oil through new outlets.”

He added that "oil produced from the southern fields is exported through our ports and loading points overlooking the Gulf, which is the only outlet for most Iraqi oil currently, and with the presence of geopolitical challenges in the region, the Ministry of Oil has taken it upon itself to diversify the export outlets, as it has prepared during the past decade a study of the northern export system with the help of the most important international consulting companies and develop appropriate plans to develop new export outlets to serve the expansion of oil production in the country through licensing rounds offered by the Ministry.”

He continued that "a modern Basra pipe falls within this trend, and the size of the tube is 56 knots, and a card that provides the export of two million and 250 thousand barrels per day, and it will be manufactured by Iraqi hands, and the bulk of it will be made by the Iron and Steel Company of the Ministry of Industry. It provides new export outlets for Iraqi oil to the countries of Europe and North America, in line with the development road project and the government's endeavor to make it a corridor for global energy, in addition to its role in transporting goods between East and West."

He stressed that “there is an intention to connect the pipeline in the future to the port of Tartus on the Mediterranean, after the achievement of the appropriate security conditions in Syria, through a pipeline that is established for this purpose and connects a modern warehouse to the port of Tartus,” according to him.

Iraq towards new markets

According to Iraqi political sources, the beginning of the project was in 1983, when the Iraqi and Jordanian sides agreed to extend a pipeline from Basra to the port of Aqaba on the Red Sea, passing through Jordanian territory. At the time, the two sides demanded guarantees by the United States so that Israel should not target the pipe.

The sources state that the Sudanese government of Mohamed Shiaa is seeking to start the project as soon as possible, because the pipe represents a new type of Iraqi energy export outlet, specifically oil, and it also offers the opportunity for Iraqi oil to reach new markets in Europe, as well as economic gains and sustainable and diversified financial returns, in addition to participation and investment in international manufacturing sectors.

Although the financial budget of Iraq for this year included the new pipeline project with an estimated amount of 6.5 billion Iraqi dinars ($4.9 billion), the deputies of Basra Governorate confirmed that they would obstruct the project.

A member of the Iraqi Council of Representatives, Hadi Al-Salami, said that “the strange thing in this project is that he was rejected by most Iraqi parties during the period of Mustafa Al-Kadhimi's (previous) government, but the parties themselves currently agree with it, and we do not know what the reasons, especially that the information is scarce about it, and we do not know the reasons for the government's secrecrecy on it.”

Al-Salami explains that “politicians and deputies in Iraq do not have enough information about the pipe project, and we are demanding to know the economic feasibility of the project from the point of view of the government.”

The consultant in the international transport economy Ziad Al-Hashemi pointed out that "the Basra-Aqaba pipeline project is a strategic project to raise the level of cooperation between Iraq, Jordan and Egypt, and enhance the level of inter-regional relations, whether political, security and economic, and that the passage of the oil pipeline through a regional state such as Jordan, will not exploit this pipe to pressure Iraq in the future, and this ensures the smooth flows of Iraqi oil flows without hinderance."

Al-Hashemi continues by saying that “the project raises fears of exploiting the line in the Israeli entity’s repliement of Iraqi oil in response to assumed Western requirements or pressures.”

Al-Hashemi added that "one of the problems that may face the project is the rejection by some regional pivotal countries to hinder Iraq's attempts to diversify Iraqi oil export ports to the West, in addition to security pressures and problems in stability, which are still an obstacle to the completion and success of any Iraqi project, not to mention the possibility of opening new outlets for corruption inside and outside Iraq because of the high cost of construction."

In turn, oil expert Kovnd Shirwani considered that “the modern Basra oil pipeline project falls within the framework of the first phase of a project that extends to the port of Aqaba in the Mediterranean, which will provide a new export outlet for Iraq.”

He continued that “we also believe that it is necessary to revive the Kirkuk-Ceyhan line, which was transporting up to 400,000 barrels per day, in addition to an investment possibility in the transport of Nineveh and Salahuddin oil and a card that could reach up to one million barrels per day, which provides important export outlets to Iraq.”
