Don961: a. Dr. Maitham Al-Ayibi *: The possible repercussions of the (Post-Sulaymani crisis) on the Iraqi dinar exchange rate

01/09/2020
The Iraqi economy in general will face more pressure in the year 2020, due to the political tensions witnessed by the country and represented by the popular protests in late 2019, which culminated in the killing of (Soleimani and the engineer) by the Baghdad airport operation at the hands of the American forces early this year 2020, which portends a lot of pressure on the economy Iraqi, mainly burdened by problems of mismanagement, corruption and over-dependence on one resource.

It is expected that the Central Bank of Iraq will face significant daily operational pressures in its management of the currency auction in order to continue to maintain the stability of the exchange rate as much as possible and prevent significant fluctuations in it that could lead to instability of the economy and affect the purchasing power of individuals.

Don961: Researcher reveals the value of external and internal debt to Iraq

2020-01-11

Yassin Iraq: Baghdad

, the president of the independent research group, Munqeth Dagher, revealed today, Saturday, the value of external and internal debts on the liability of Iraq, indicating that the total Iraqi debt amounts to 63 billion dollars.

Dagher said in a post seen by "Yassin Iraq", that "various numbers are circulated in the media and among specialists about the actual debts of Iraq, and to find out the truth, the independent group used Iraqi official sources to identify these debts."

And that "the total Iraqi debt is around 63 billion dollars, (about 28% of the gross domestic product) distributed as follows:

- 38 billion dollars of internal debt.
- 25 billion dollars in external debt, including:
- 10 billion for Paris Club creditors.
- 6.4 billion are divided between the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
- 3.1 billion Kuwait compensation.
2.7 billion for America.
- Others.

He added, "There are $ 41 billion from the days of the previous regime, which are (political) loans granted to the previous regime (from various countries, the most important of which is the Gulf).

Iraq has stopped paying it because it was granted outside Security Council resolutions, and whoever wants from creditors to claim it must go to the Paris Club." Most of these can be extinguished politically. ” LINK

DCdriver: Just a question on the 35 billion that Trump says we have of dinar: I assume that it is 35 billion “Dollars” worth. If it were 35 billion dinar it would have only cost our government 35 million dollars. Can someone shed some light on this? Thank you

Iggy: imo these are 2 separate accts...you will never know the amount the US treasury holds...the one Trump speaks of is a acct that holds 35 billion dollars of iraq's from oil revenues imo...

OLLar: Just clarify, He said we have 35 billion dollars that belong to Iraq in an account ,this was set up at the time of the Paris Club agreement for the reconstruction of Iraq. They have been contributing to it for almost 2 decades, they will receive it when their reforms are complete, if they fail to abide by the agreement, it goes to the debt they are being forgiven for according to the Paris Club agreement. I do believe we have between 5 and 10 Trillion dinar, but people need to listen to his exact words. These are exciting times and it's easy to overstate the reality of things. IMO of coarse.

Samson: An economist warns of the dangers of lifting protection from Iraqi money abroad

09:15 - 12/01/2020

Economic expert Qusay Safwan warned, on Sunday, of the dangers of lifting protection for Iraqi funds abroad, pointing out that Iraq should diversify into foreign currencies and keep its money and bonds away from the risks of economic war.

Safwan said in a statement to the "information", that "facing the American treasury and its penalties in the event of lifting the protection system on Iraqi funds will expose the country to the threats of creditors, especially that Iraq has 32 billion dollars in treasury shares in America, and once the protection is lifted it will be threatened."

He added that "Iraqi funds outside of America can be frozen and creditors demand their dues, and therefore the Finance Ministry is supposed to try to reduce the risks of imposing these sanctions by converting them into assets and bringing them into the local environment in order to avoid the risks of the American embargo."

He pointed out that "Iraq is supposed to avoid sanctions by diversifying foreign currencies and not neglecting the financial protection system in Washington," pointing out that "Iraqi monetary fiscal policy is free in the process of withdrawing funds in Washington, but in practice, Iraq is betting on the strength of the dollar and the stability of American bond prices and the process Transferring the cash reserve to another environment may indicate that the monetary fiscal policy has begun to withdraw from the dollar economic environment and this will expose Iraq to economic risks.

He stressed that "the Iraqi economy is dollar, and therefore it is assumed that there will be a reduction in the severity of tensions, as it is possible to take advantage of the gold reserves to reduce the risks of threatening the Iraqi economy, through trading in this mineral." LINK

Don961: An economist answers .. What is the money of Iraq to the US Federal Reserve and can Trump take it?

Politics 01/20 2020 14:00 946 Editor: gf Baghdad today - Baghdad

The economic expert, Abdul Rahman Al-Mashhadani, revealed on Sunday (12 January 2020) what he described as a "fatal strategic mistake", committed by the Iraqi Central Bank, which will lead to the seizure of half of the bank's reserves if the United States of America decides to impose sanctions on the country.

Al-Mashhadani said in an interview with (Baghdad today), that "the United States, if it blocks the access of Iraq to the money of the central bank, which is kept in the Federal Reserve Bank in New York, it is an illegal decision, because the central banks are supposed to be their money protected according to treaties and agreements International, and the Federal Reserve had already made compliance with the treaties granted to independent banks. "

He explained, "There are two types of banks' associations, banks that follow governments and work with the government plan, and this was what the central bank adopted before 2003 as the central bank was affiliated to the Office of the Presidency of the Republic or the Ministry of Finance, and after 2003 a decision was issued in Decree 56 of 2004 granting full independence to the bank Central, "indicating:" It is assumed that the funds of the Central Bank are treated separately from the government. "

Concerning US President Donald Trump, about his ability to withhold and seize the funds of the Federal Reserve Bank, he saw that "the United States of America does not abide by the laws, and occupied Iraq without an international mandate and an individual decision, and hit more than one site with an individual decision, and it can also take this decision."

He pointed out the ease of possibility "to challenge the United States with the independence of the central bank, especially since the bank lent to the government in 2015, 21 trillion dinars, and is still asking the government about 17 trillion dollars."

He explained, "The big mistake is not from the Americans, but we put our money in the Federal Reserve when our relationship was good with America, and it was supposed to be distributed to more than one party and more than one bank in Britain, France, and China," stressing that "the strategic error that occurred With the central bank is investing half of its reserves in US treasury bonds at a simple interest rate, which is half of 1%, and we are talking about 37 billion dollars, half of the reserve. "

He continued, "The sanctions are supposed to be gradual, as they were imposed on Iran," noting that "the mere announcement of the imposition of sanctions will lead to a state of panic among investors and capital, and this is what happened in the first days when the exchange rate rose to 125 thousand to 100 dollars."

He explained, "This panic caused the central bank to increase its sales from the dollar from 275 to 365, and now the central bank sells almost 300 million, which means the bank's sales are more than revenues."

He continued: "If the central bank's sales remain like this, we will sell six and a half billion, while our oil revenues are seven billion, and the central bank will then be forced to use its reserves to maintain the exchange rate."

Al-Mashhadani added, “In the event that sanctions are imposed on oil, we will only have the ability to withstand 6 months, because our economy does not allow that.”

And he added, "Iraq differs from Iran, which has adapted to the sanctions since 1997 and relied on itself in the industrial and agricultural sector, while Iraq relies on import. If we cut oil exports, we do not have money. We import the needs of the local market and this matter is more severe than the siege of the 1990s because the previous blockade It had government support and an industrial sector, and that does not exist now. "

US President Donald Trump commented, on Friday, January 10, 2020, on the request of the Iraqi parliament to withdraw his country's forces, saying: "We created in Iraq one of the most expensive airport installations in the world. If we leave, they (the Iraqis) must pay money for that." Countries like Saudi Arabia and South Korea pay millions of dollars for the deployment of American soldiers there. "

And on the way in which the money can be raised from the Iraqis, Trump said in an interview with the American "Fox News" station: "We have a lot of their money. There is 35 billion dollars in an account with the United States."

On Sunday (January 05, 2020), the Iraqi Council of Representatives voted on the exit of all foreign and American forces from Iraq, the cancellation of the role of the international coalition, in addition to canceling the security agreement with America by the Iraqi government. LINK

Don961: A "bleak picture" of the Iraqi economy in light of any US sanctions

- Two Hours Ago

Senior officials in the Iraqi financial sector presented a bleak picture of the future of the country's economy, if US President Donald Trump implemented his threat to impose sanctions on Iraq, during a high-level meeting attended by deputies in parliament.

According to informed sources, all the possibilities that have been raised are based on the assumption that the Iraqi government will continue to be subject to the Iranian point of view, in light of the burning conflict between Tehran and Washington in the region, and Iraq in particular.

Stop supplying Iraq with the dollar

The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, the head of the Financial Supervision Bureau and the undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance, acknowledged during the meeting the possibility of stopping the supply of Iraq with the dollar in the framework of the expected US sanctions, given the full sovereignty of countries over their currency, a development that would lead to a decline in the value of Iraqi dinar in front of foreign currencies.

Member of the Finance Committee in the Iraqi Parliament, Majida Al-Tamimi, said that “the country will face great risks if the United States stops its support in the dollar currency, as it must search for an alternative currency,” noting that “most international banks have difficult conditions and restrictions to deal with Iraq as a country It is unstable and has many problems, and it will be dealt with very cautiously, in addition to converting to other currencies requires changing the commercial behavior of the country. ”

Debt file

Since the overthrow of the regime of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein in 2003, imports of Iraqi oil sales are subject to protection that the American President personally supervises and is considered annually.

This presidential protection prevents Iraqi creditors from accessing oil money, a measure that has guaranteed the flow of money into Baghdad over the past years.

According to Al-Tamimi, Iraq owes $ 28 billion to foreign countries and companies, in addition to $ 41 billion in debt to the Gulf states dating back to Saddam Hussein's era.

In the event that the American protection is lifted from the Iraqi account in the United States that receives oil revenues, creditors will be able to access the funds deposited in it, which implicates Baghdad in complicated problems.

Ban on dealing with "Sumo"

Among the possibilities discussed by financial sector officials in Iraq is the United States going towards depriving certain Iraqi parties of carrying out their activities or prohibiting dealing with them by most international companies, especially companies specialized in marketing Iraqi oil.

Baghdad fears that the United States will prevent some international companies from dealing with the National Oil Marketing Company, which is known by the acronym "Sumo", a measure that was previously tested in the Iranian case, and its effect was fatal in relation to the unilateral economy, which is based on oil only, such as the state of the economy Iraqi.

Treasury penalties

The fourth possibility, which was present at the table of officials of the financial sector in Iraq, relates to the possibility of the United States listing Iraqi entities or personalities on the ban list administered by the US Treasury, which exposes their financial assets to the risk of freezing and deprives them of dealing internationally in dollars.

The expected ban could include the central bank itself, which is the main money repository in Iraq, and it could also include officials in the executive authority, according to observers, a measure that severely limits financial transactions, given that most international banks fear that the United States will be angry if it exceeds the embargo decisions. .

Al-Tamimi says, “The economic blockade that was imposed on Iraq in the nineties and how it is managed and the funds needed to pay the obligations cannot be compared with the current situation in Iraq, which cannot withstand such shocks,” noting that there is a “big difference in the numbers of employees and then salaries.” (Between the situation in the nineties and the current situation), in addition to the existence of profitable industrial companies at the time that used their profits to cover salaries.

Al-Tamimi called for "studying the situation and the potential dangers to Iraq in an extensive manner, in preparation for making sound decisions and setting alternatives based on achieving the interests of Iraq first and foremost."

MilitiaMan: They table is about to be set. Trade deal inked with Iraq and China already, then the Cookie gets Icing next week with the USA and China trade deal too. I

don't know for sure, but I have a strong feeling there is no coincidence's about these to events taking place now. Even the CBI has told us they reduced the note count, they even show in their spread sheets on the Arabic side (per Delta) that they have paid for the recent new printing of money to the tune of approximately $190 million +- over the last year or so.

There were and are videos brought in by Delta that showed the process of what they are doing with the large notes. They were and may still be destroying them like the Turkmenistan Model describes in the Final Article Thread. In the video they were not showing worn and torn notes. They were showing good quality 25k notes and in very large quantities.

The CBI website shows in the Charts the reduction. Charts on that site are for international use and they are extremely accurate for many reasons too. ~ MM

Videos were posted on social media, showing the gathering of demonstrators near Amir Kabir University in Tehran, chanting slogans demanding the resignation of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the commander of the Air Force, against the background of the authorities' recognition of the targeting of the Ukrainian plane.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guards announced earlier Saturday that it bears full responsibility for the crash of the Ukrainian plane, while Iranian President Hassan Rouhani announced that Tehran will continue to investigate the "unforgivable error" that led to the crash of the Ukrainian plane, stressing that "human error" The wrong launch of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard defenses, resulting in the crash of the plane and killing 176 innocent people.

The CBI has studied the data for years now. The know the ramifications of what is expected of them and now they are telling us they are going to do what is the right thing.

Samson: Legal expert: America will not pursue Iraq’s money abroad after settling debts with it

7th January, 2020

The legal expert, Tariq Harb, confirmed on Tuesday, January 7, 2020, that the United States will not pursue Iraq’s money deposited in the US federal treasury after all its debts have been settled against its companies.

Harb said, in a statement to the obelisk, that "five years ago, Iraq made a settlement with the United States of America by paying more than 500 million dollars on all debts claimed by American companies for Iraq."

Harb added, "The agreement provides for America's commitment, after that, to not institute any lawsuit against Iraq, whether it is administrative, legal, or judicial."

Harb added, "The agreement provides for America's commitment, after that, to not institute any lawsuit against Iraq, whether it is administrative, legal, or judicial."

Harb pointed out that "Iraq remains in need of US banking facilities and to cooperate with the US Treasury on what is being reported to Iraq from money laundering operations or financing of terrorism or the inclusion of major financial corruption for some of the personalities."

He continued, "Iraq needs to deal with the US federal treasury, and the important financial decisions it issues for Iraq, as well as it needs to Morgan Bank, which is the main provider of financial services, as he from time to time informs Iraq of the bodies and people who transferred the money abroad to do After that, Iraq will be audited by the competent authorities in this matter." LINK

MilitiaMan: Samson, lets go back a few days and recall the 7 demands from Iran that were handed out for the "future" 5 names for PM.

One of them was for to stay the course on the Auctions. Recall that there was noted to be about 40 billion $ out abroad in 2019 alone. If we see what happened to the two terrorists recently and how they made their money.

One can or may see an interesting similarity as to the timing of the shut off (reduction in note count) in the charts by the CBI. imo. The reduction in note count by the cbi has an oddly familiar relationship to the amount of $40 Billion (edit) in value, that the Iranian factions were getting from the abroad allocations. Interesting.. imo

Regardless the UST has eyes all over the place and will know where the money flows and how to cease the outflow. One way is an RI. Ceasing MCPs is apart of that to come, imo.. ~ MM

He added: The session will also witness the second reading of the proposal to amend the Iraqi Commission for Accreditation Law No. 78 of 2017, and complete the vote on the health insurance law proposal. LINK

Don961: (Post 130) Dinar support for daily transactions is required now

Friday 10 January 2020

Baghdad / Mustafa al-Hashemi

Markets recorded in the past few days a relatively high exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar, as well as the high price of gold locally, at a time when specialists considered this rise within the normal rates and does not call for fear; because the conditions that Iraq has gone through previously proved that.

On Friday, gold prices recorded 260 thousand dinars, while the exchange rate of the dollar amounted to 122 thousand Iraqi dinars against the hundred dollars, after it reached 124 thousand dinars per hundred dollars last week.

General conditions

The banking advisor, Dr. Issam Al-Mahawili, stated that "the high dollar exchange rate is influenced by circumstances, news and general conditions as (spongy boarding) and temporary and will return to its normal levels, but it will take one or two weeks at the most."

Al-Mahawili added in an interview with Al-Sabah that this fluctuation in the price will continue for a period until the gap between supply and demand returns to its normal size.

Calling for "not to buy dollars and deal."

It is used in buying and selling and relying in the daily commercial dealings on the dinar, because this will reduce the demand for it, which increases the supply. "

"Consequently, abundance will contribute Greatly reduced its exchange rate, " stressing "the need to support the dinar in this economic phase that Iraq is going through, in order to alleviate those with low incomes and poor segments of society."

Productive sectors

The banking advisor stated that "activating the productive sectors would reduce the effects of the low exchange rate of the dinar against the dollar, as in the final outcome it reduces imports of goods that can be produced and manufactured locally and that cost large amounts of money that can be invested and invested in revitalizing those sectors."

He stressed that "the central bank A discreet institution capable of handling such an imbalance is that Iraq is a rich country and his revenues from oil exports did not stop from him despite the fluctuating price of a barrel globally, "stressing that prices will return to their normal rates after a period of time has passed."

Previous experience

In turn, economic researcher Firas Amer said that "such an imbalance in the exchange rate is a result of the conditions the country is going through," adding that "this reality has been experienced by Iraq previously after the stability of the dollar exchange rate during the years 2012 and 2013."

He pointed out that "the high price of gold and the dollar in Iraq has to do with the threats and economic concerns that the country may be exposed to due to regional conditions and fears of the outbreak of conflicts in the region that may have repercussions on the country."

He explained that "Iraq is an oil producing country And that the news I covered various media outlets have created an unwarranted panic among Iraqis. "

Pointing out that the market is now it is controlled by the central bank, except from some weak souls who take advantage of these conditions to raise prices, as there is a state of general confusion in the gold markets and exchange rates locally. LINK

Harley1: Step 1: stop using the dollar
Step 2: use lower denoms and reprice the marketplace to accommodate them
Step 3: change the international exchange rate so that it correlates with the new internal value of the Dinar

MilitiaMan: They are calling out to not buy Dollars. Interesting timing! It seems they now have a need to support the dinar and even more now especially when moving into a new phase of going into a market economy. imo. They will need to support the dinar to protect the poor segments of society during the roll over into it.

The CBI is in control of the market they say, thus, they state the were capable of handling imbalances. They give assurances that Iraq is a rich country! They are saying the abundance of Dollars in the market is a concern.. Imo. This is supporting they are now looking to quit using the Dollar. Thereby, supporting the Dinar. Once they cease MCP's the demand of the Dinar will increase. imo..

Yesterday, the CBI Governor, ITB, Finance Minister, etc., told us they were going to protect the currency internally and externally. That is meaning to me, they have the mechanisms in place to do so. One mechanism would be to stop the MCPs and raising the rate of the IQD. The supply and demand will equalize over time, it may only take a couple weeks once they do?

Regardless, that sort of support is a requirement by the IMF for completion and ascension into a market economy, imo. Iraq has been given orders to complete the MR process and they clearly are making that very apparent, as to the effect to that is exactly what they are doing!!! imo.

All good. What say you Delta? ~ MM

DELTA: The finance comittee reveals the mechanism for paying Iraqi debts .. And the Central reveals its policy to control the exchange rate

Baghdad / Obelisk: The Parliamentary Finance Committee announced, Thursday, January 9, 2020, a discussion of the mechanisms that must be followed to preserve Iraqi money, pay debts, and the financial situation in light of the tension in the region, during its hosting of the governor of the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance and the head of the Financial Supervision Bureau.

A statement to the committee said that it hosted the governor of the Central Bank, the head of the Financial Supervision Bureau, the director general of the budget department in the Ministry of Finance and the assistant director general of the Iraqi Trade Bank, TBI , to “discuss the current events in light of the military escalation taking place in the region and its effects on the financial situation of the country and the monetary policy that must be followed To control the exchange rate of the currency in the Iraqi market. "

DELTA: The finance comittee reveals the mechanism for paying Iraqi debts .. And the Central reveals its policy to control the exchange rate

The statement added, "The Finance Committee heard the guests' presentation after they provided a detailed explanation of the mechanisms that must be followed to preserve Iraqi money inside and outside Iraq."

He continued, "The Governor of the Central Bank indicated that Iraq’s debts were scheduled and paid at the specified times, stressing at the same time that the political positions of Iraq affect, of course, its financial position, whether negatively or positively, and that follows the type of position and the consequent reaction."

The Finance Committee confirmed at the conclusion of the statement, it "seeks to permanently stave off danger from Iraqi money and correct the course of its monetary policy in light of the tension in the region and spare the country to fall into a deadlock that negatively affects its economy and development."
http://almasalah.com/ar/news/1

MilitiaMan: Thank you Delta, I know when you post things of this caliber and it's timing, it is because it is very important. The fact that they are now openly talking about the tools (mechanisms) are in place to permanently correct the course of Iraq's monetary policy and stave of any danger in light of the tension we have seen militarily, is huge and very welcoming for us all.

In other words, in respect to the conditions they are now in, they are still moving forward and head on with the monetary policy to control the exchange rate.

Once they stop the auctions they will not have any other Multi Currency Practices (MCPs) to deal with. IMF requirement. They Dollar auctions can cease and then the neighbor will have an even more rough road ahead for themselves.

The dinar exchange rate will be devoid of them (mcp) when fully article 8 and out of sanctions and thus, the world can freely trade internationally in IQD.

We here from a source here at KTFA, that citizen in Iraq is hearing directly from a Bank in Baghdad and at the head of a large department level are now making the citizens aware of the banks now having been populated with new small category notes and coins (fils), and are to be distributed at the citizen level soon.

This article above in my opinion supports that data, as tools or mechanisms if you will, are in fact in part a median of exchange to facilitate the transition from large to small on the street.. Small notes and coins are tools.. imo The delivery of them to the citizens will be a boost to the citizens psyche and pocket book by having purchasing power.

The timing of this is so very clear to be in our faces now that they have to reinstate the IQD internationally. They have no choice in the matter, now. They not only spent money on new notes and coins, let lone they haven't time to print again what has been destroyed already.. A finer point that seems to have been overlooked in the glitch theory. lol imo

They will need the mechanisms out ASAP, as they will have a liquidity issue to deal with. We already saw some inflationary pressures over the last week.

Those Charts from the CBI web site were not glitches that has been reported, and are in fact a representation of a massive reduction in money supply and a massive value movement to the commercial banks in country (commercial means all banks, per Delta translation.). That money that was destroyed in the videos were not worn and torn. They were good quality 25k notes in massive amounts. I watched the video!

Reports now show that the banks will get or have got new 50k and 100k notes to clean up more of what is left outstanding of the 25ks, 10ks, whereby, the large notes are not for public use , as in the 50k and 100k. The small categories notes will be used in place of the trip zero notes with much more value associated with them, as noted by the need for coins. The small and large notes will co exist with the remaining straggler notes for years to come.

So I don't know about you all, but, I am smiling large!! You should all be too, as in light of the military actions we have witnessed, they are still moving ahead and finishing the delete the zeros project and apparently it is in full effect now. imo ~ MM

Don961: "Ten January we will or will not be" .. Great calls for a million demonstration in Baghdad tomorrow, Friday

2020-01-09

Baghdad: Yassin Iraq

Activists in the protests called for millions of demonstrations tomorrow, Friday, in Baghdad and the central and southern governorates.

Activists began rallying for the January 10 demonstrations some days ago, and some called them "retaliation demonstrations", referring to the retribution of the protesters' killers during the past three months.

Protesters in Tahrir Square held up banners calling to bring "head helmets, bottles of Pepsi and water" because, according to what they wrote, they expected "attacks by Iraqi government forces." link

Samson: The British Parliament finally approves the exit deal from the European Union

9th January, 2020
The British House of Commons approved, on Thursday, the final draft of the exit from the European Union. The British House of Commons voted on the "Brexit" agreement that Prime Minister Boris Johnson concluded with the European Union, three and a half years after faltering.

The text of the agreement was easily passed in the House, where Johnson has an overwhelming majority in Parliament since the legislative elections in December 2019, knowing that it will be referred to ratification by the House of Lords, and then issued by the Queen in semi-formalities. It remains for the European Parliament to ratify the agreement to become the United Kingdom, on January 31 at 23:00 (London and GMT time) the first member state to leave the European Union, and that date will include a page of the "political chaos" witnessed by Britain since the June 2016 referendum that happened Supporters of Britain's exit from the European Union received 52 percent of the vote. Within 3.5 years after the referendum, the British split over the matter, and Parliament rejected an agreement concluded by former Prime Minister Theresa May, without proposing an alternative scenario, which raised fears of a violent departure or abandonment of exit, and resolved the matter the arrival of Johnson, the enthusiastic supporter of "Brexit" to Al-Hakam and his wide electoral victory.

It is noteworthy that the "Brexit" agreement negotiated with Brussels includes the outlines of "divorce" in particular by guaranteeing the rights of citizens and settling the border dilemma inside Ireland, and specifically aims to ensure smooth passage to a future relationship between the two parties that still needs to be determined. In addition, a transitional period that will continue until the end of 2020 begins with the aim of enabling Brussels and London to prepare for the future relationship, during which the British will continue to apply European rules and benefit without the participation of European institutions and without the right to decide within them.

Purifiers: THE STORY OF KYLE

One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd."

.I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up, and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes.
.
My heart went out to him. So I jogged over to him, and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives." He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.
.
I helped him pick up his books and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now. I would have never hung out with a private school kid before, but we talked all the way home, and I carried his books.
.
He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play football on Saturday with me and my friends. He said yes.
.
We hung out all weekend, and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him. And my friends thought the same of him. Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!" He just laughed and handed me half the books.
.
Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends. When we were seniors, we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship.
.
Kyle was valedictorian of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak.
.
On graduation day, I saw Kyle. He looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than me and all the girls loved him! Boy, sometimes I was jealous. Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech, so I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!" He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. "Thanks," he said.
.
As he started his speech, he cleared his throat and began. "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach -- but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story." I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."
.
I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize its depth.
.
Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture, you can change a person's life.

Don961: Pence: Iran informs its militias of not attacking American targets

- 4 Hours Ago

WASHINGTON - US Vice President Mike Pence said on Wednesday that the United States has received information that Iran has asked allied militias not to attack American targets.

"We receive encouraging intelligence that Iran is sending messages to these militias themselves not to move against American targets or American civilians, and we hope that this message will find an echo," Pence said in an interview with CBS News.

Pence issued warnings to the Iranian militias, saying that their fate will be the same as that of the Iraqi Hezbollah, after its bases were targeted after the killing of an American contractor and the injury of others, indicating that the American people should relax tonight thanks to the strength of President Donald Trump's decision and the courage of the armed forces that showed great professionalism in facing Iranian threats. In the region and in Iraq. ”

In conjunction with Pence's remarks, US Defense Secretary Mark Esber announced on Wednesday that he had assassinated the commander of the Qods Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, General Qassem Soleimani, with a US air raid in Baghdad last week, that the United States "recovered a level of deterrence" against Iran.

"With the strikes we carried out against the Hezbollah Brigades in late December and then with our operation against Soleimani, I think we have recovered a level of deterrence with them," Esber told reporters. "But we'll see." The future will tell us. ”

However, the minister did not rule out that Shiite militias, "whether directly led by Iran or not," would launch more attacks against American forces in Iraq.

It seems that Washington is not seeking escalation or war with the United States, especially since the increase in tension is not in anyone’s interest. There are American soldiers stationed in them, none of them hurt, indicating that Washington does not want to use military force against Iran, stressing at the same time that it will impose more sanctions on Iran.

In his address to the nation on Wednesday from the White House, Trump said, "It seems that Iran is softening its stance, which is good for all concerned and the world. We have not lost any American or Iraqi lives. "

The US president defended the killing of the commander of the Quds Force, saying that Soleimani, who is considered a national hero in Iran, was "the largest terrorist in the world ... and he should have been killed long ago."

Trump's comments came hours after the Iranian foreign minister said the missile strikes "concluded" Iran's response to the killing of Qasim Soleimani.

Minister Muhammad Javad Zarif wrote on Twitter saying that Iran "does not seek escalation or war, but we will defend ourselves against any aggression."

For its part, Washington justified in a letter to the UN Security Council on Wednesday that the killing of Qassem Soleimani, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, was in self-defense, and vowed to take new action "if necessary" to protect its soldiers and interests.

The US ambassador to the United Nations, Kelly Kraft, also said in the message that Washington "is ready to enter without preconditions in serious negotiations with Iran to prevent international peace and security from being exposed to further danger or to prevent an escalation by the Iranian regime."

And Kraft wrote in the letter that the killing of Soleimani in Baghdad on Friday was justified under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, adding that "the United States is ready to take additional measures in the region if necessary to continue protecting its soldiers and interests."

States are required under Article 51 to "immediately inform" the 15-member Security Council of any measures taken in exercising the right to self-defense. The United States used Article 51 to justify action in Syria against ISIS fighters in 2014.

Don961: With a reserve of 96.3 tons .. Iraq ends 2019 without buying gold

The Council stressed that "Iraq still maintains its fifth Arab position, which came after Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Algeria and Libya, and on the 38th position globally out of 100 countries included in the international financial statistics for the global reserves of gold."

The Council noted that "the United States of America is still in the first place with the largest reserves of gold in the world, as these reserves amounted to 8.133.5 tons, followed by Germany with 3,366 tons, while Yemen ranked last with 1.6 tons." link

RVDoc: IMO So in thinking about the 26th and the 29th and the 5th dates. It shows us that this was on going in the plan and schedule of things. As with the receipts early on, that was the start of the winding down of the process.

The annual accounting at end of year was needed in the banks so they could accurately decide how many 3 zeros notes where actually in possession so that they could do the disbursement of 100K notes and take in the 10K/25K notes out of circulation.

The accuracy was also key to the final calculation of the rate for exchange.

Yes, they probably had a count before, but with people doing withdrawals and deposits, and for final accuracy of in country circulation at the banks, there is a need to stop the circulation long enough to have the banks set aside notes for the turn in and change of notes for accuracy.

It also helps on the other side with how many lower denoms will be needed in relation to daily, weekly, and monthly flow in the banks over the year for deposits and withdrawals and circulation estimates after the RI and rate is done.

This was all part of the plan, IMO, it shows this was structured and the rate was not to come out on January 1. It also tells us that the date is going to be when they decide they have it right and at the time of their choosing!

All this other speculation from the GURUs is just that, guess work and does not follow principles of accounting at the banks. In essence, what you have seen is the accounting practices that were needed to finalize the rate and the placement of how many small notes were needed for daily cash flow in country! GET READY!

You can bet your rear end that IRAN is and was totally aware of this and has been doing everything they could to stop it, until Trump laid down the law. They saved face, but they backed down and Trump let them know he was not having it! Thank God we have a POTUS with back bone!

Iranian Woman Speaks Truth On Recent Attacks https://youtu.be/1C888mSyD7s?t=4

Samson: Oil falls about 5% as US-Iranian tensions recede and stockpiles rise
9th January, 2020

Oil futures fell by about 5%, after sharp fluctuations, as they approached a four-month peak in early transactions due to an Iranian missile attack on American forces in Iraq, and then retreated as the two countries rushed to calm tensions

Prices went down after it became clear that the missile attack did not harm any oil facilities or harm any Americans, and under additional pressure from a sudden increase in US stocks of crude

US President Donald Trump took a step back after angry statements for days against Iran as the two countries attempted to defuse the crisis over the United States' killing of Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani

"The fact that we have this great army and equipment ... does not mean we have to use them," Trump said in a speech from the White House, noting that Iran appeared to be retreating

And before Trump's speech, prices were already retreating from the peaks last night after tweets by the US President and Iranian Foreign Minister hinted at least a temporary lull

Brent futures fell $ 2.83, or 4.2 percent, to settle the settlement price at $ 65.44 a barrel, its lowest closing level since December 16. In early trade, the contract peaked since mid-September at $ 71.75

The global benchmark was on the rise since hitting $ 56.15 a barrel in October; its peak in today's session was 28 percent above that level

US West Texas Intermediate crude fell 3.09 dollars, or 4.9 percent, to close at 59.61 dollars a barrel, its lowest close since December 12. The highest session price was $ 65.65, the highest since late April

"Volatility is the best characteristic of price action today, with record crude falling ... about nine percent from the peaks of last night," said Jim Ritterbusch, president of Ritterbusch & Co. in Galena, Illinois, speaking in a report

The difference between today's highest and lowest session price is the widest for West Texas since November 2014 and for Brent since September 2019

The US Energy Information Administration said that crude stocks increased by 1.2 million barrels last week. The increase surprised the market, which was expecting a decline of 2.6 million barrels, and contrasted with preliminary data for the sector, which showed a decrease of 5.9 million barrels

Samson: Al-Fatlawi: Iraq spent more than $ 100 billion on armaments, but it went to the "corrupt"

In a statement to Al-Maalouma, Al-Fatlawi said, "The parliamentary decision to remove foreign forces obliges the government to implement and not extend the survival of these forces or negotiate their stay in Iraq."

He added that "foreign forces entered Iraq at the request of the government to support the various security forces in combating the criminal ISIS in 2014, and today the need for these forces has been neglected and Iraq no longer needs them, so the government must lead in its turn to end the presence of these forces."

He explained that "the discussion took place a year ago today about arming Iraq by creating weapons and air defense systems from various producing countries, in order to preserve sovereignty and defend Iraq , but that was not done and previous governments spent tens of billions, but they went in vain and were placed in corruption files only ”

He noted that "Iraq spent more than 100 billion dollars on armament projects, but there is nothing on the ground, and corruption is prevalent in arms deals." LINK

Godlover: Things are getting a little interesting now imo. It would seem the Iranian attack was to send a message, not waging war per articles imo. The need to sanction the current threats in Iraq such as Mahdi & others that are in parliament is needed & hopefully their criminal acts will be done with soon imo.

More talk on the FML in session this Saturday per articles....hopefully some resolution will take place imo

More talk of the 2020 budget needing to be resolved immediately per articles imo

Possible PM nomination in the next 2 days per article above......that would be awesome imo. I still think that before the MR is to be released, Mahdi needs to be out of the picture altogether & a new citizen approved PM seated imo.

Here's a question for anyone that can answer.......with the latest happenings & the Dinar fluctuations....are they still in the 2% compliance?

HoosierGirl: Well it seems from what I'm hearing on the news, that the Iranian "influence" in Iraq's government has been "exposed" worldwide by the Trump Administration members.

People now know it is NOT Iraqis who are doing the dirty work, but the Iranians inside the GOI AND that those have been bribed. The Iraqi citizens have burned many of their homes to express they want rid of them. Mahdi has resigned but not left.

There is a timing issue there I would think IMO IMO IMO. NOW they are going to suddenly hold a session for the new PM FINALLY maybe.

I believe with the events of the past few days they are all realizing that the United States of America isn't going anywhere. Iran's rockets were pathetic. Just listened to one man on the news say that their rockets are capable of hitting something within a half mile estimate of their target!

He didn't believe they were even capable of setting them off to intentionally NOT hit our bases or military. It was pure luck (or God's design) that they didn't hit anything.

Pres. Trump and Teams have shown Iran that we won't back down and I think they now know it's time to stop the nonsense.

DOW went up immediately after Pres. Trump's speech. So here we are and we shall see what the next couple of days bring. All of this is what I heard on the news and IMO

Since the escalation of the crisis, the demonstrators do not hide their fear that their “revolution” will be stolen or lose their resolve after entering the Iraqi street in cracks and side concerns, due to the crisis (US - Iranian), while the protesters of the popular protest movement took advantage of the escalating atmosphere, in the implementation of explicit armed attacks against demonstrators in Some provinces, as happened recently in the province of Dhi Qar.

Don961: Have there really been arrangements and prior agreement between Washington and Tehran before the Iranian missile response at dawn today ?!

Policy , 01/20/2020 12:25 Baghdad-Iraq today:

Iraqi diplomatic sources revealed that the Iranian response to the killing of General Qassem Soleimani in an American raid in Baghdad was coordinated with the United States through the mediation of a Gulf country, and that military arrangements were made by the two sides during the past two days to ensure that this response does not lead to a fall Foreign victims.

Diplomatic Mobility The

sources told "Iraq Today" that the past days after the United States carried out an attack by flying planes, killing the commander of the Quds Force in the "Revolutionary Guards" General Qassem Soleimani and Vice President of the "Popular Mobilization" Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, witnessed an accelerated diplomatic movement in The region, in which Iraq participated, resulted in a consensus between Washington and Tehran regarding the response.

The agreement includes Iran's implementation of a limited missile attack on a number of sites that include American forces inside Iraq, ensuring that no casualties are caused by the United States Army, which is what actually happened, according to preliminary information.

Ahmed Mulla Talal, a prominent Iraqi media, said that "an intense international diplomatic movement has been taking place for two days to arrange an agreed Iranian response, which is acceptable to the United States, followed by a less severe American response, to calm the region," stressing that "the two parties are not ready to escalate."

Commenting on the Iranian attack at dawn on January 8, Talal added that what happened was "implementation of the agreement" between the United States and Iran, citing the absence of American victims.

Iranian missiles on 3 Iraqi sites

The "Iranian Revolutionary Guard" carried out attacks on three Iraqi military bases that include American soldiers in Anbar, Baghdad and Erbil on Tuesday evening and Wednesday dawn, and resulted in injuries among Iraqi individuals.

There was no information available on the type of casualties caused by these attacks, and whether they caused deaths, but Iraqi sources linked to the US military confirmed that there were no casualties among foreign soldiers in Iraq, pending the official announcement.

Iraqi sources revealed that most of the Iranian missiles that were fired at the Iraqi military sites fell in empty spaces, while the American forces confronted with projectiles aimed at inhabited sites, and quoted a US general in Baghdad as saying that "the Iranian missiles are an updated version of the Scud missiles developed by the former Soviet Union." , But it lacks precision. "

Were the American forces aware?

The sources confirmed that the American forces moved soldiers and equipment from locations to another inside the "Ain al-Assad" base in western Anbar, hours before the Iranian attack, to prevent any casualties in its ranks, which supports the theory of prior agreement with Iran to respond.

Observers considered that the speed of Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif to consider his country's missile attack on Iraqi bases as the final response to Soleimani’s killing, in the interest of containing the American position, especially that the Iranian attack ended without causing injury or killing Americans.

Iraqi wounded ... only!

Sources in the Iraqi armed forces have reported that a number of members of the Iraqi army have been wounded, while local media have reported information that a senior Iraqi officer was killed in the Iranian attack, but Baghdad denied this.

Iraqi observers say, "The Iranian attack eased internal pressure on the administration of US President Donald Trump, which stems from fears of involvement in an all-out war with Iran."

The White House had stated that Trump would make a speech to comment on the Iranian missile attack in Iraq, but the move was canceled, and the American president only said through his account of "tension" that "everything is fine", indicating that the bombing did not cause significant damage .

The accounts of Iraqi activists on social media were filled with questions related to "violating sovereignty", which is the term that described the American raid against Soleimani, and whether it includes the Iranians as well, especially since their attacks on Baghdad, Erbil and Anbar did not hit Americans, but only Iraqis, in exchange for a wave From the joy, the accounts of the supporters of the militias loyal to Tehran swept by the "Iranian overwhelming response." link

Zarif justified the attack, but appeared to back off on further retaliation

CARLOS GARCIA

Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif tweeted about the retaliation on US forces in Iraq, and within minutes, President Donald Trump appeared to respond.

"Iran took & concluded proportionate measures in self-defense under Article 51 of UN Charter targeting base from which cowardly armed attack against our citizens & senior officials were launched," Zarif tweeted.

"We do not seek escalation or war, but will defend ourselves against any aggression," he added.

The president appeared to accept the offer of de-escalation in a tweet posted just 13 minutes later.

"All is well!" Trump tweeted. "Missiles launched from Iran at two military bases located in Iraq. Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good!" Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump

'We have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far! I will be making a statement tomorrow morning," he added.

Earlier on Tuesday the White House had announced that the president would be making a statement about the retaliation from Iran, but that was later cancell

Iran fired more than a dozen missiles at Iraqi bases were US forces were stationed in a counterattack as a response to the killing of Qassem Soleimani, a top leader of the Iranian military.

Some reports indicated that Iran was threatening to strike US allies, including Israel, if the president ordered a counterstrike. Fox News' Bret Baier noted that Iran avoided larger targets that could have been struck easier. LINK

HoosierGirl: It has been plainly stated, there will be NO war, by various political figures and those close to Pres. Trump. There may be some "military action" to STOP the stupid stuff Iran is doing, but there will be NO ground war drug out for years. Whatever will be done, if anything, will be direct and fast and over before we even know it's begun. Pres. Trump is going to address this 'in the morning" and I have a feeling we will see things settled by then. A 4.9 earthquake just hit Iran (not sure where yet). All of this is from news I've been watching and reading and of course, it's all

Don961: Boeing plane crashes 180 passengers after taking off from Tehran

January 08, 2020

The Iranian news agency Tasnim reported that a Boeing 737, belonging to the Ukrainian Airlines, landed shortly after take-off from the Imam Khomeini airport in Iran, with 180 passengers on board.

This incident coincides with the tension prevailing in the region following the launch of Tehran at dawn Wednesday, "more than 12 missiles" at Ain Al-Assad base and another base in Arbil, Iraq, which includes American forces.

While the exact cause of the crash was not identified, the Iranian Tasnim Agency confirmed that a technical defect was behind the accident and that it had fallen shortly after take-off.

It is noteworthy that the US Federal Civil Aviation Administration announced on Tuesday evening that it banned American civil aviation from flying over Iraq, Iran, Gulf waters, and the Sea of Oman.

The administration said in a statement that it "will continue to monitor events in the Middle East closely." link

Don961: Where did Iran attack US forces in Iraq?

Targets were two airbases, including Ain al-Asad, which was attacked previously by ISIL in 2016.

38 minutes ago

Iran said early on Wednesday that it had fired more than a dozen rockets at two Iraqi military bases hosting American troops amid escalating tensions between Tehran and Washington.

The missiles targeted two bases, Ain al-Asad in Anbar province, and a base in Erbil

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said that it conducted the operation at the same early morning hour that the US killed Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani on Friday.

Iran has vowed to take revenge against the US following the killing of Soleimani.

The general was buried early on Wednesday in his hometown of Kerman, after a deadly a deadly stampede at his funeral procession on Tuesday. People across Iran turned out to pay their respects at funeral processions that took place during three days of official mourning.

According to Iran's Fars news agency, Fateh-313 missiles hit Ain al-Asad air base, which is located 233km (144 miles) west of Baghdad.

The Fateh-313 surface-to-surface missile was launched in August 2015 and has a range of 500km (310 miles).

According to the US Central Command, which oversees the US military in the region, 15 missiles were fired, with 10 hitting the Asad base in Anbar, and one at a location near Erbil airport. Four of the missiles reportedly failed.

Ain al-Asad was the second largest American airbase in Iraq established during the US occupation of the country between 2003 and 2011.

In 2016, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) also launched attacks at the base, which then housed several hundred US troops and advisers training the Iraqi army after the US withdrawal in 2011.

The second US base in Erbil has not been unnamed, but it is close to the airport in the semi-autonomous Kurdish region.

At its peak, there were an estimated 150,000 American troops stationed in Iraq. Most of them left in 2011.

In 2016, following the advance of ISIL, the number of US troops increased once again to 5,000, with an additional 1,000 more repositioned from Syria, bringing the total to about 6,000 as of October 2019.

Then following the attack on the US embassy in Baghdad on New Year's Eve, US President Donald Trump ordered the immediate deployment of an additional 750 troops to Iraq to secure the diplomatic compound.

In recent days, an additional 3,000 troops were deployed to the Middle East, but it is unknown how many of them were sent directly to Iraq. LINK

Don961: The US Secretary of Defense denies the news of the withdrawal from Iraq

- 43 Minutes Past

US Defense Secretary Mark Esper denied reports circulated about US plans to withdraw from Iraq, after reports to Reuters and other media about a message from the US military stating the withdrawal.

"There is absolutely no decision to withdraw from Iraq," Reuters quoted Esber when asked about the letter, adding that there were not even plans to prepare for withdrawal.

For his part, US Chief of Staff Mark Miley said that the circulating message was a draft aimed at coordination, and it should not have been published.

In turn, the Pentagon spokesman confirmed that there is no change in the policy of the United States of America regarding the presence of its forces in Iraq.

He said that we are continuing to consult with the government of Iraq on defeating the Islamic State and supporting the Iraqi security forces.

The French press agencies and Reuters reported that American forces within the international coalition had informed Baghdad in an official message that they would relocate their forces outside Iraq in the coming weeks

The French Press Agency quoted a statement issued by the Joint Task Force in Iraq as saying that the decision came out of respect for the request of the Iraqi Parliament and Prime Minister, and the sovereign decision that called for the departure of the American forces.

In the letter signed by the Commander of the American Task Force in Iraq, Brigadier General William Sealy III, which was confirmed by a US military official and another Iraqi to the French news agency, the American army stated that the coalition forces - led by the United States - "will reposition their forces in the coming weeks."

For its part, the Iraqi Joint Operations Command said that it cannot confirm or deny the authenticity of the message that the American forces intend to withdraw.

The head of the caretaker government in Iraq, Adel Abdul-Mahdi, stressed in a statement to his office after receiving the American ambassador to Iraq, Matthew Tooler, on the necessity of joint work to implement the withdrawal of foreign forces according to the decision of the Iraqi parliament, and to put relations with the United States on sound grounds, as he put it.

Don961: The American administration threatens Saleh and Abdul-Mahdi .. Exit from Iraq will not bear the cost of Baghdad

Monday 06 January 2020 Baghdad - Writings

Local media said that the US administration sent to Iraqi President Barham Salih a copy of the sanctions to be imposed on Iraq if Baghdad insisted on expelling US forces from the country.

The American administration, through its ambassador to Baghdad, Matthew Toller, also resigned to Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi about what pressure Washington could exert against Baghdad if it was decided to end the American presence in the country.

The two sides also discussed ways to reduce tension, as well as warn the American ambassador about the danger of the withdrawal of American forces and its impact on the return of ISIS and terrorist organizations. LINK

MoeApollo: Ha!! Awesome! I saw the video posted on Twitter and it was eye-opening to those that spoke Arabic. Folks were shocked lol The vote was an optics play meant to drive the Iranian narrative that the Iraqi people want the US out. They knew the media would run with a perceived Trump failure...true or false, it doesn't matter to them. As soon as the vote took place, the usual cast of characters tried pushing that narrative.

Don961: Al-Halbousi reveals only the Shiites ’vote to expel the Americans and warns of the financial fall of Iraq

Monday 06 January 2020 Baghdad - Writings

Leaked footage from the voting session on the expulsion of American forces from Iraq revealed how the speaker of the Iraqi parliament underwent one component without the presence of the rest of the components.

The leak, which was circulated on social media, on Monday, January 6, 2020, showed Muhammad al-Halbousi, the speaker of parliament, following the instructions of Shi'a MPs by invalid voting on the decision to expel foreign forces from Iraq.

Al-Halbousi said: “Let us speak frankly. The vote here today is Shi’ite. I would have hoped that Iraq would unite today with a decision approved by Sunnis, Kurds and minorities, which reveals that voting to expel the Americans is a null decision dominated by deputies who follow Iran without any calculations in favor of the Iraqis.

Al-Halbousi said openly that the decision to agree to expel American and foreign forces means cutting off international financial dealings with Iraq, as well as the absence of salaries paid to employees.

These leaks coincide with the escalation of the attack on the House of Representatives by the rebels and the assertion that it does not represent the Iraqis with its decisions that serve Iran and harm Iraq.

Samson: Economist: Implementing US Sanctions On Iraq Means "Famine"

7th January, 2020
The economist Hammam Al-Shamaa stressed that the application of the US economic sanctions on Iraq will lead to a complete economic collapse and thus lead to "famine" due to the high food prices.

Al-Shamaa said in a press statement that the independent said today, Tuesday, that "if the United States removes protection from Iraqi money , the country will lose billions, and that if it disables the transfers, the trade in Iraq will be delayed a lot", indicating that "America if it reduced or prevented the flow of the dollar The heat to the Iraqi market will increase the exchange of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar, which means higher prices, and here we fall into an economic disaster.

Samson: Trump: America is safer after Soleimani's death

11:10 - 07/01/20

TUS President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the United States of America has become safer after the assassination of the commander of the Quds Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Qassem Soleimani.

"The United States has become safer after the killing of Qasim Soleimani," Trump said in statements followed by "The Information," noting that "Soleimani should have been eliminated more than 15 years ago."

Trump attacked the Democrats, saying they were "openly supporting Iran."

The International Crisis Group had confirmed earlier, that the assassination of the deputy head of the Popular Mobilization Authority, Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, and the commander of the Quds Force, Lieutenant-General Qassem Soleimani, united the voices calling for the expulsion of the American forces, indicating that the assassination was counter-productive to America.

Pompeo commented on the video clip in a tweet on his Twitter account, saying: “While ordinary Iraqis were meeting with their families, the Hezbollah brigades fired Katyusha rockets around Baghdad, I am angry. The supported terrorists are still threatening the safety of the Iraqis ... ? ”

Security sources said that one of the rockets landed on a house and killed an entire family. LINK
