LINK US Treasury: We will impose sanctions on any Iraqi party dealing with the Revolutionary Guards 13th September, 2019 The US Treasury said on Friday it would impose sanctions on any Iraqi body dealing with the Revolutionary Guards.

"We consider the purchase of Iranian oil as a financing for terrorism," she said, adding that she would "continue the policy of economic pressure on Iran and Hezbollah." The US Treasury said, "Corruption in Iran is very large, and we consider Iran a terrorist state." "They have told Europe that their dealings with Iran are hurting their trade with us," she said.

  5. 9-13-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Simply put when the time comes the IMF will put the IQD in an SDR basket of currencies including the Yen, Yuan, Pound, Euro, USD and then the IQD. ...What does this do? It creates stability in the marketplace since, if one currency gets too shaky, the others will back it up and support it... How does putting the IQD in this SDR basket effect our exchange? Since the IMF will have to now weight the IQD along with the assets from these other 5 currencies in the basket, it will cause a re-calculation of the IQD rate and drive it higher like the pre-1991 rate plus equity. This is what will be the driving force behind getting more than a 1:1 after deleting the zeros. ...This is what will justify it. 9-12-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana It's been some time since this came up in the news, but I believe it was about 5 months ago I made mention of Saudi Arabia working on playing nice with Iraq again... and what they have to gain by doing so. Saudi Arabia couldn't be bothered to give Iraq the time of day 10 years ago... now, they are changing their tune: [Article] "Iraq-Saudi border crossing to reopen after nearly 30 years". ...WTI OIL is currently at 54.94... Other news that's positive - CBI, IMF, GOI are all active. We are not in one of those vacation-day lulls. Overall, it looks like things should start moving... right in time to hit a mid-September spurt. 9-12-2019 Newshound Guru Jeff [Article: Saleh and Abdul Mahdi discuss developments in the political situation and the implementation of the government program] ...the "government program" is everything that exists after the rate change. It's the period after the rate change that gives the citizens a better life. So that's why they're talking about implementing the "government program" now or soon because that's the period after the rate change... *******

  11. I held back replying to this in order to remain respectful. I get so frustrated when people say government social programs are compassionate and Godly. Even more so when that person claims to be a Christian. GOVERNMENT SOCIAL PROGRAMS ARE NEITHER COMPASSIONATE NOR GOODLY. Only hypocritical Christians say that, and only because they pay taxes and they don't want to give more of their money away. Saying it's "compassionate and Godly" only makes you feel better. But your sin is still there. And why is it a wrong statement? Because the compassionate and Godly thing to do is to help someone to rise up and get back on their feet using everything at your disposal. Government social programs are by design the opposite of what I just said. They are designed to give you just barely enough to survive so as to forever keep you in need and thus relying on the government. That's NOT compassion, that's SLAVERY. How do I know so much about government social programs? Because I was once a recipient of them. But my self respect forced me to dig down deep and pull myself up. What was the response from the social worker in my case? She would not help me with truck driving school and told me that by simply paying the small introduction fee I was showing that I've been given too much assistance and thus no longer needed government help. In layman's terms "I was immediately cut off". How compassionate and Godly was that? I ended up finishing the three week school living in my pickup using the restrooms for personal hygiene. And thank God for Top Ramon, otherwise I would have starved. My first year out as a commercial driver I earned $45,000 dollars and that was in 1990. I NEVER got rich being a driver but I NEVER NEEDED ASSISTANCE FROM THE GOVERNMENT AGAIN. And today I make much more money so that my wife can do what she wants to do most in life, be a stay at home mom for my too LOVELY little girls. And ALL of that was by the Grace of God without any government social programs.

Samsung is one of the world's leading companies, and its strong presence in the region is a qualitative addition to Samsung's success story in the world. As a whole and the Iraqi market in particular, which the company was keen to provide the best levels of service to its consumers. Samsung's primary goal is to provide the latest innovative products that keep pace with the lifestyles and workings of the Iraqi consumer and meet their needs. It stands behind Samsung's keenness to provide devices that are not just connected devices, but connected devices that perform practical and smart functions unconventional. On the other hand, the spread of the "Samsung" brand, which is ranked as the sixth best brand in the world, also demonstrates the efficiency of its strategy and plans related to various aspects of its work, including the marketing aspect, which is carefully designed, whether it relates to the stages of sale or communication with the public Consumers and customers have been concerned about the partnerships and cooperations that the company believes in and seeks to expand its scope for the benefit of all parties involved. Are there any devices, products and versions of different specifications that Samsung is seeking to launch in Iraq and the Arab region? At Samsung, we are always keen on supplying the Iraqi market with the latest products as one of the most important markets in the region; We are also pleased to announce the launch of a TV specially and exclusively for the Iraqi market, and our consumers and the media will be provided with more details about this product soon. What is your view of the Iraqi market regarding your core business? The Iraqi market is one of the most important strategic markets for us at "Samsung" in the region, and it is a promising market for us. The Iraqi market is witnessing significant growth in all sectors in general, and the electronics and technology sector in particular, and this is an incentive for us to strengthen our operations and our deployment in Iraq in general. We continuously strive to provide the Iraqi market with the latest products to meet the needs of individual and institutional consumers in the world of telecommunications, audio-visual, digital home appliances and information technology. You recently sponsored the ninth edition of the Asian Sale Championship for the West Asian Football Federation - Iraq 2019, what is Samsung Electronics' goal of this sponsorship? This sponsorship comes from Samsung as part of its corporate social responsibility strategy in support of the sports sector in general and the game of football in particular as a sport that occupies a special place in the hearts of millions in Iraq, the Arab region and around the world, which at the same time need to address the challenges.

The Iraqi footprint is creating a new foothold on the local and global sports scene, which has many positive effects.

During the tournament, you demonstrated a range of Samsung's latest products and solutions from TVs, optical devices and mobile devices. What is the volume of demand for these devices in the Iraqi market? I am pleased to say that the Iraqi demand for smart and advanced devices produced by "Samsung" is very large in the Iraqi market. This demand is not limited to a particular product, but extends to our various products and solutions, which indicates the Iraqi quest for the acquisition of smart and sophisticated technology, both for home and business, and this is proof of the importance of our solutions to meet their needs.

  33. Then Add In 104 Days Off Annually From All Of The Weekends ... LINK 124 official holidays in Iraq 13th September, 2019 The many holidays in Iraq push some to seek to modify because of disrupting the interests of citizens, in addition to the great economic loss, but it is not easy, especially since most of them religious or national The many holidays announced by the Iraqi government from time to time negatively affect the Iraqi government institutions, especially those services, which have direct contact with the affairs of citizens and their daily work. Since 2003, the number of public holidays declared by the State has increased from 16 days to 124, representing 33 per cent of the total number of days of the year, the majority of which are holidays and holidays chosen as religious occasions and related to different Iraqi communities, and several days, such as each year. From the month of Muharram within the Hijri calendar. In spite of attempts to pass the law of public holidays in a way that reduces the number of holidays, but the parties refuse to do so and seek to maintain. As a result of the majority of these holidays associated with religious events after 2003, the debate about them has not been easy either by citizens or members of parliament who adopt the option of a civil state. Religious parties usually defend these holidays, although some reports indicate that the country has suffered significant financial losses as a result of its large number. A government official says the negative impact of the failure on the functioning of state institutions cannot be denied. Even some state leaders want to reduce it without being able, ”he explained to the“ New Arab ”that“ these holidays affected the country economically, as well as affected the provision of services to citizens, especially in departments that are in direct contact with the citizen. ” He stresses that "there are complaints and demands from many citizens to reduce these holidays, which led some officials to try to coordinate with Parliament to pass a law that reduces the holidays." "In any case, many of them cannot be abolished because of their religious, national and symbolic significance to many," he says. Iraqi law gave local provincial governments the right to declare a day off for residents of the province exclusively as needed, which is repeated from month to month in several provinces and for various reasons. The Committee on Religious Endowments and Religious Affairs affirms that it is working to reduce public holidays in accordance with amendments to the "Holidays Act", and to pass them in Parliament. "There is a tendency to reduce public holidays within the law," said MP Hussein al-Yissari, head of the Awqaf and Religious Affairs Committee. Now that the Religious Affairs Commission has become independent, the law has been restored to its responsibility. ” He stresses that “the committees have a tendency to reduce the holidays. Some religious occasions that have become controversial between doctrines and religions. ” "If the number of holidays is reduced, it will benefit Iraq," he said. But he notes that "some holidays are fixed, such as national and religious events." Iraqi politicians assert that the problem of holidays lies in the "sanctification" by some quarters. Zaid al-Adli, a member of the Iraqi civil current, told Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed: “The Awqaf and Religious Affairs Committee in Parliament and the religious parties are the ones responsible for maintaining public holidays.” , Which have religious sanctity. ” He adds that the law to reduce the holidays is one of the laws introduced in parliament for a long time, but those bodies do not want to amend and cancel some of the holidays, but want to pass with the majority of the holidays, and add others instead of worthless holidays. He stresses that there must be a firm position by the Presidency of Parliament on the law, or that the government represented by its president to reduce the holidays due to the public interest of the country, and not to maintain the political mood that controls it.

  35. Rationality in politics… Adil Abdul Mahdi reaps the fruits for Iraq. It seems that the meetings of the Iraqi Council of Representatives next week will witness serious discussions on the impact of the levels of US-Iranian escalation in the region, and the effects of that escalation on Iraq, there are three important issues will be raised on the sessions of the Council , the first : the file of the exit of US forces and the international coalition from Iraq, and the second : Concerning the discussion of the strategic framework agreement signed between the United States of America and Iraq, since its signing until now, it is not clear who is responsible for the protection of Iraqi airspace, whether it is an Iraqi responsibility, or it is an American responsibility, and the third file: concerns the possibility of accountability and questioning the staff of the Iraqi government ministers or some of them. With regard to the exit of US troops from Iraq, it is known that Iraq’s money from oil revenues is kept in the US Federal Reserve Board, which is responsible for the money of Iraq, and in this context, a law or resolution issued by the House of Representatives in the direction of the removal of US troops from Iraq, may push the administration of President Donald Trump, through the US Treasury Department, to impose harsh and multilateral measures ,for example all Iraqi money will be subject to prosecution. It is now protected by presidential decree based on the security agreement between Iraq and the United States, and in the case of abolition , the reparations file , as well as accusations against Iraq of supporting terrorism, and the losses of US companies before 2003 will be reopened , and Iraqi funds will be withheld until the cases are resolved, let alone stop sending the dollar currency to Iraq, which will stop many obligations, and Iraq will be unable within two to three months to pay the salaries of its employees, especially those of embassies abroad, and Iraq’s international obligations and obligations towards companies, especially oil companies, and the country will be in a state of complete paralysis, similar to the days of the siege in the nineties of the last century, with a slight difference, taking such a step is playing with fire and undue risk. The Iraqi Council of Representatives must think deeply before taking any decision or law that may constitute a devastation on the security and economy of Iraq, and that its decisions and laws are in harmony with the higher interests of the Iraqi people, and not at the interests of the US or Iran, it is a House of Representatives representing the Iraqi people under the dome of the Council does not represent Tehran or Washington by proxy, the Iraqi people will not accept to be locked in decisions or laws that increase their economic suffering, if the Iraqi Council of Representatives issues that resolution or law, everyone in Iraq is a loser and the Iraqi political class in the forefront . Therefore, there must be a dialogue between the financial, security and defense committees emanating from the House of Representatives, the Prime Minister and the Governor of the Central Bank to reach political, legal and economic understandings to avoid Iraq risks. As for the strategic framework agreement, so far it is ambiguous between the Iraqi government and the Iraqi Council of Representatives on the one hand, and the United States of America on the other hand, on the body responsible for the protection of Iraqi airspace, according to the strategic framework does not have a legal formula that indicates that the United States of America is responsible to protect the airspace and there is no legal formula that Iraq may ask the United States to provide assistance to protect Iraqi airspace. According to some observers of the Iraqi issue that the Strategic Framework Agreement and the withdrawal of forces signed in 2008, confirmed the responsibility of US forces to protect the airspace of Iraq at altitude of 45 thousand feet, but below that, it is the responsibility of the Iraqi government, and that all drones – Aldron – fly within a range less than 45,000 feet, which is within the responsibility of the Iraqi government. Therefore, the Iraqi government and the US administration represented by its embassy in Baghdad must put the points on the letters to know the limits of that agreement and the responsibility of each party, and this requires them to be in a high degree of clarity and credibility. The third file concerns the accountability and questioning of some ministers by Iraqi Council of Representatives, which may amount to the dismissal or resignation of Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi. Everyone knows that there is a political crisis between the “Popular Crowd” and the institutions of the Iraqi state, and speculation about the future of the Iraqi government, considering that the government of Dr. Adil Abdul Mahdi came as a result of a parliamentary settlement between the two largest parliamentary blocs: «Saroon» led by Mr. Moqtada al-Sadr, and «al-Fatih» Led by Hadi al-Amiri, backed by the Popular Crowd , after a parliamentary-judicial debate over naming the largest bloc, which is constitutionally entitled to nominate the prime minister, some Iraqi parties went on to consider that an international regional settlement protecting the government was nearing its end as a result of escalating Iranian – American tension in the region, which reflected directly on the relationship of the “crowd” with the government, and its refusal to abide by its decisions, especially on how to respond to air strikes to its bases, but the attempts of the “crowd” rebellion against state institutions quickly turned into an internal crisis between his poles, showed his lack of cohesion and revealed the conflict of currents weakened his position in front of the Iraqi majority demand to confine arms to the hands of the state and adhere to Iraqi sovereign decisions. However, this crisis and this conflict between the poles of the government gave the PM a new maneuver margin, which enables him to fortify his position, and improve his conditions, after the attempts of the settlement parties to impose its agenda on the work of the government, at a critical stage where the level of criticism of the government increased, and the call to account it is risen, ten days after of its formation in October last year. The Iraqi constitution guaranteed the Iraqi parliament the right to question and accountable the Iraqi government, and it is the government in which its ministries accused of corruption issues, and who accuse the government of this, are already members of that government, while Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi does not have a minister in the ministry or a deputy in the House of Representatives calculated on his political current, then who is the corrupt ?! However, Adil Abdel Mahdi scores important points in his favor, easing the pressure on him, giving him an opportunity that may not be repeated, helping him to rearrange his priorities, and move faster steps towards achieving some slogans of reform, and independence, although they are limited, in making decisions, taking advantage of a group of political factors that are floated above the surface of settlement noting that a wide segments of the Iraqi street in all its categories and colors are betting on its ability to expand the margin of his move and liberate it from internal and regional constraints .He is an important reformist warrior for years against the big and funny restrictions imposed by the hardliners inside and outside the Iraqi parliament. At this critical stage in Iraq’s history, he is in dire need of a multidimensional roadmap to get out of his crises, the threatening and intimidating approach does not address deep crises in the body of the Iraqi political system, but are tools that may be legal to gain time or temporary gain only. The body promises accountability and interrogation of the ministry, and may reach the level of dismissal, is the holder of the positions and privileges in it, and is also the body that runs the ministry through its economic offices. In practice, Iraqi concern over the future of the government is rising, and at this stage neither society nor political parties or elites are ready to enter into a political vacuum that may occur as a result of the overthrow of the government and the difficulty of choosing an alternative if it is impossible. For the sake of the prosperity of Iraq , Iraqis have to stand by the reformist warrior, Adil Abdul Mahdi, who, through his rational policies, managed to spare Iraq from entering the US-Iran conflict, which is witnessing a relative breakthrough, and with his good national stance in avoiding polarization in the US-Iranian conflict, Adil Abdul Mahdi feels his strong position because he is aware deeply that this conflict must end at the negotiating table, and that Iraq not be the loser of that conflict, Iraq is in his reign has good relations with both Washington and Tehran. Therefore, we reiterate that all Iraqi political forces should stand by Adil Abdul Mahdi in order that Iraq to reap the fruits of its rational policies at home and abroad.

  41. Kurdistan president, Iraq minister discuss how to jumpstart economy Hiwa Shilani | 3 hours ago https://www.kurdistan24.net/en/news/1f03af15-528c-4a0e-ae72-7ee93b5830e2 Kurdistan Region President Nichervan Barzani (right) with Nouri Sabah al-Dulaimi, Iraq’s planning minister. (Photo: KRG president's office) Kurdistan KRG Iraq Economy A+AA- ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Discussions of how to boost foreign investment and private sector job opportunities led a meeting on Thursday between President of the Kurdistan Region Nichervan Barzani and Nouri Sabah al-Dulaimi, Iraq’s planning minister. In the meeting, which took place in the Kurdistan Region's capital of Erbil, Barzani and Dulaimi both stressed the necessity of initiatives that would spur growth in the economies of Iraq and the Kurdistan Region, according to a statement released afterward by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). Both stressed “careful planning, better policies, and reorganizing economic administration for a better and more developed fiscal future.” They also addressed preparations for the national census, set to take place in 2020, saying that “Cooperation and coordination between the federal government, the KRG, and the international community in the process,” was essential. The meeting concluded with a discussion on Iraq’s 2020 budget bill and the process of rebuilding areas damaged as a result of the past takeover by, and conflict with, fighters of the Islamic State. The KRG and the federal government of Iraq have multiple longstanding and often seemingly insurmountable disagreements related to the budget, oil and gas, and the nation's disputed territories. Ties between Erbil and Baghdad were strained considerably in late 2017 following the Kurdistan Region’s independence referendum, which saw a landslide majority favoring statehood. Following the formation of the new Iraqi government led by Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi in late 2018, relations between them have improved significantly.
