  1. BRICS: Iraq Bans U.S. Dollar, Egypt Ditches USD, France & Pakistan Pay With Chinese Yuan Vinod Dsouza June 17, 2023 Iraqโ€™s Interior Ministry placed a ban on U.S. dollar transactions across the country in a move to strengthen the Iraqi Dinar. The country wants to control the fluctuating black market exchange rate that plagued forex prices for Chinese Yuan and USD. The move will also help boost its native currency as the U.S. dollar will take a step back nationwide. The decision to ban the dollar comes at a time when Iraq expressed its interest to join the BRICS alliance. Iraq would accept the soon-to-be-released BRICS currency to settle international trade and sideline the USD. Master Yota/Adam, I hope all is well. Please take a look at this latest article, would love to know your thoughts as Iraq suddenly expressed interests in joining the BRICS Alliance. I nearly dropped my cellphone, as I'm shocked they're looking into this! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Regards, Freedomwish
  2. Hey Adam, I could go for another bottle of Glenfiddich while waiting, all gooooooood. Hope you are too, cheers! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฅƒ
  3. Whiskey and luggage will be ready as soon as you hit that button Adam!! Did I mention Whiskey will be READY?!! ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฅƒ
  4. Just sharing the latest scoop I've found: http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/20220225/82087e51953245ecaeee8b3751fefa05/c.html Senior Iranian cleric calls for removal of "all sanctions" in Vienna talks TEHRAN, Feb. 25 (Xinhua) -- A senior Iranian cleric said Friday that the Vienna talks are aimed at lifting "all sanctions" against the Islamic republic, Tasnim news agency reported. "The bottom line (of negotiations) is lifting all sanctions, especially banking and trade sanctions," said Ahmad Khatami, the Friday prayers leader of the Iranian capital Tehran. If these sanctions are not lifted, "it is as if no negotiations had taken place," he added. Senior Iranian officials have urged the western countries' to decide on the removal of anti-Iran sanctions and promise to fulfill their commitments under a possible agreement. Iran signed the nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), with the world powers in July 2015. However, former President Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of the agreement in May 2018 and reimposed Washington's unilateral sanctions on Tehran. Since April 2021, several rounds of talks have been held in the Austrian capital between Iran and the remaining JCPOA parties, namely Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany, to revive the deal.
  5. And, hot off the press from Yota....yup!! It's all coming into play, I've been quiet for a while but this is one matters I've been hunching on! What do ya'll think?! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘
  6. Well, well, well....many thanks Yota!! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฅƒ
  7. Hey, you never know - anything can happen, I'd rather try than not trying at all and regretting it later should it all pop off. Yup!! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿบ
  8. This also, very much looks like a possibility!! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿบ
  9. Hey 3Bucks (love your profile name ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿบ), Brother Screwball chimed in so I'll just add to the opinion, I sense Iran is close to having it's currency pop first because all the world leaders of the JCPOA are on top of this. Should Iran's Rial hit the market, just get ready for the Dinar immediately after!!! It's gonna' be one hell of a show!!
  10. Meh....just sharing a little bit more, still drinking my whiskey a little bit ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฅƒ Link: https://www.trtworld.com/middle-east/us-ready-to-lift-inconsistent-jcpoa-sanctions-against-iran-52638 US ready to lift 'inconsistent' JCPOA sanctions against Iran Washington says it's fully prepared to lift sanctions inconsistent with its 2015 nuclear deal commitments if Tehran approaches talks in Vienna "with urgency and good faith." US has said it is prepared to lift sanctions against Iran that are not related to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) deal while urging Tehran to act in "good faith" in the ongoing Vienna talks aimed to resuscitate the 2015 nuclear deal. "We are fully prepared to lift sanctions inconsistent with our JCPOA commitments, which would allow Iran to receive the economic benefits of the deal," Linda Thomas-Greenfield, US envoy to the UN said on Tuesday in a statement. "The United States continues to pursue the path of diplomacy to achieve a mutual return to full compliance with the JCPOA, and to address our full range of concerns with Iran," she said. She added that if Iran approaches talks in Vienna "with urgency and good faith," the US can reach and implement an understanding on mutual return. "We cannot, however, allow Iran to accelerate its nuclear programme and slow-walk its nuclear diplomacy," she said.
  11. Hi guys, it's been a little while. Just wanted to share some new scoop, who knows right? I'll be reaching for my whiskey bottle in the meantime, yup. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฅƒ Link: https://www.tehrantimes.com/news/468090/UN-chief-calls-on-U-S-to-lift-sanctions-on-Iran-based-on-JCPOA UN chief calls on U.S. to lift sanctions on Iran based on JCPOA Politics December 14, 2021 - 21:21 TEHRAN โ€” United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres has called on the United States to lift or waiver the sanctions on Iran in accordance to the 2015 nuclear deal, officially called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Guterres made the call in his 12th quarterly report submitted to the UN Security Council Resolution 2231 committee. The report was submitted on December 8 to be reviewed by the resolution 2231 committee on December 14. Resolution 2231 has made implementation of the JCPOA legally binding. The following is an excerpt of the report by the UN chief: On 14 July 2015, China, France, Germany, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the United States of America and the European Union with the Islamic Republic of Iran concluded the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Subsequently, on 20 July 2015, the Security Council adopted resolution 2231 (2015), in which the Council endorsed the Plan and called upon all Member States, regional organizations and international organizations to support its implementation. Despite difficulties encountered in the implementation of the Plan in recent years, I have always believed that it represents the best option available to realize the goals of multilateral diplomacy and regional security in a manner that delivers tangible economic benefits for the Iranian people. โ€œJCPOA and Resolution 2231 continue to enjoy broad international support.โ€ I am encouraged by the diplomatic engagements in and around the Joint Commission, which took place between April and June 2021, to facilitate the return of the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran to full and effective implementation of the Plan and the resolution. Those efforts did not result in the return of the United States to the Plan or to the reversal of steps taken by the Islamic Republic of Iran to reduce implementation of nuclear-related commitments under the Plan. It is my hope that the resumption of diplomatic efforts, which recommenced on 29 November 2021, will usher in renewed and effective cooperation among all participants in the Plan. The swift and successful conclusion of those diplomatic engagements should allow all parties to address their concerns and achieve their stated objectives, as expressed most recently in the letter dated 20 July 2021 from the Islamic Republic of Iran to me (A/75/968-S/2021/669) and the joint statement issued by France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States. I appeal again to the United States to lift or waive its sanctions as outlined in the Plan, to extend the waivers with regard to the trade in oil with the Islamic Republic of Iran and to fully renew waivers for nuclear non-proliferation projects in the framework of the Plan. Those steps are needed to facilitate the full and proper implementation of the Plan and resolution 2231 (2015) The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and resolution 2231 (2015) continue to enjoy broad international support. I am encouraged by bilateral and multilateral initiatives to improve relationships with the Islamic Republic of Iran, which should be encouraged and built upon. Such initiatives can have positive effects on regional stability, as well as foster a conducive environment for diplomatic engagements pertaining to the Plan. I call upon Member States, as well as their economic operators, to engage in trade with the Islamic Republic of Iran, including through available arrangements such as the Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges (INSTEX), the procurement channel provided for in resolution 2231 (2015) and the Swiss Humanitarian Trade Arrangement, as appropriate. Support for such trade arrangements continues to be important, given that the health challenges posed by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic remain significant in the Islamic Republic of Iran. The present report, my twelfth on the implementation of resolution 2231 (2015), provides an assessment of the implementation of the resolution, including findings and recommendations, since the issuance of my eleventh report (S/2021/582), on 21 June 2021. Consistent with previous reports, the focus of the present report is on the provisions set forth in annex B to resolution 2231 (2015).

  13. Saudi Arabia and Iran, longtime regional rivals, weigh forming closer ties Watch this clip, though most like an opinion discussion but pay close attention at the start of 6:15 mark where things gets juicy. I would love to know everyone's thoughts on this after you've seen it. Link: https://www.yahoo.com/news/saudi-arabia-iran-longtime-regional-152625408.html
