  1. Latest from the goat... 

     

    So for Iraq’s accession process it appears yet another huge step is about to take place. I quote from the today’s article – “The National Committee, the technical committees emanating from it, and the accession team in the ministry were able, within a short period, to complete these files and submit them to the organization in preparation for holding the third meeting of the working group on Iraq during the current year, 16 years after the date of the second meeting of the group in 2008.”

    So, in 2024, I assume sometime soon, the National Committee will hold its third meeting with Iraq on the accession review. Remember also that the Sadie Arabia is sponsoring Iraq for the WTO and we recently also learned the US is now onboard too. With the US now backing Iraq this should move along quickly now. So does Iraq need a viable currency to trade? Of course they do and they already have it with the 3 zero notes. There is no requirement stated anywhere that they need anything else. However, having said this let me add I sincerely do not believe for one second that they are going to join the WTO with these notes as their currency. First, they will have to be reinstated on FOREX just before or after their full accession. Why?

    SOURCE: US responds to missiles launched from Iraqi toward its base in Syria

    SOURCE: US responds to missiles launched from Iraqi toward its base in Syria

    Shafaq News/ A security source reported that the United States has taken action in response to missiles launched from Iraq towards Syria.

    The source told Shafaq News Agency that an American aircraft targeted the vehicle responsible for the missile launch at the moment of its initiation in the Zummar district, north of Mosul.

    Some of the missiles fell inside Iraqi borders, he said.

    Late on Sunday, a security source, on condition of anonymity, reported that the five rockets were fired from Hamad Agha village in the Zummar district, northwest of Mosul, towards the American base at Khirbet Al-Jir in the northern countryside of al-Hasakah.

    The source further disclosed that the US aircraft are intensively flying along the Iraqi-Syrian borders.

    The incident came after high tensions in Iraq between Iraqi armed factions and the government over the presence of the US forces in the country.

    On Saturday, sources within the Iraqi resistance factions

    revealed to Shafaq News Agency that the "coordination body of the resistance faction" called all spokespersons and leaders to halt public statements, even regarding the recent attack at a Popular Mobilization Forces' camp in Babil.

    The sources explained that the directive is to await a meeting between the leaders of the armed factions and PM Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani to discuss the details of his meetings in Washington regarding the withdrawal of US forces.

    In January 2020, Iraq's Parliament approved a non-binding resolution urging the government to remove foreign troops from the country amid escalating tensions between Iran and the US and after the killing of the prominent Iranian military commander Gen. Qassem Suleimani in Baghdad with the leader in the Popular Mobilization Forces, Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, in an American strike.

    There are 2,500 US troops in Baghdad for training and advisory missions. However, the situation has escalated after October 7.

    Since the start of the Israeli aggression in Gaza, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI) has regularly attacked the US interests in Iraq and Syria.

    The deadliest attack was in Jordan when Kataeb Hezbollah killed three American soldiers at a US base.

    IRI stated that its operations are to "expel the American occupation" and in support of "Palestinian brothers."

    So far, more than 195 attacks have targeted the US bases.

    In a series of retaliation, the US military launched airstrikes on sites related to Iranian-backed forces in Iraq and Syria, killing members of Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq and commanders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and Lebanon's Hezbollah in Syria.

    Notably, activities had subsided since early February, a month after Washington and Baghdad announced the resumption of talks within the joint Higher Military Commission (HMC) to discuss the threat of ISIS, the operational environment, and the capabilities of the Iraqi Security Forces.

    Now, with the Iraqi prime minister's visit to the United States to discuss security files, the escalation in the region is continuing.

    In the recent Iranian attacks on Israel, Washington and Tel Aviv said that the Iraqi airspace was used; Iraq did not comment on the incident; however, Friday's attack on a PMF headquarters in Babil governorate raised questions about the US sending a message for the Iraqi factions to stay away from the Israeli-Irania conflict
