The Iranian President phoned Swiss President Simonita Sommaruga, requesting that Switzerland play a more influential role in light of the doubling of US sanctions on Tehran.

Rouhani pointed out that the spread of the Coruna virus, the American sanctions and increasing economic pressures have made living conditions more difficult for the Iranian people.

The Iranian President considered that it is necessary for the three European countries to work to preserve the nuclear agreement and find a balance in the implementation of nuclear obligations. Switzerland can play a role in promoting the nuclear agreement.

Rouhani also welcomed the creation of the Swiss financial channel, and stressed the need to further activate it.

The President of Switzerland announced that her country seeks to increase the effectiveness of the Swiss financial channel, and the possibility of transferring the loan requested by Iran from the International Monetary Fund to combat Corona through the Swiss channel.

She stressed the need to maintain the nuclear agreement as an international treaty, and pledged to make all efforts to this end.

Newspaper: Iran is using its 'arms' to block an imminent strategic dialogue between Baghdad and Washington

2020.05.26 - 09:27

7fba7f751-31575-202005260927.jpg

 

Baghdad - people   
 

The London Arab newspaper said on Tuesday that Tehran will use its arms inside Iraq to block the expected strategic dialogue between Baghdad and Washington, through a campaign of political and media pressure on the Iraqi government after efforts to develop relations with Saudi Arabia.  

A report of the newspaper, which was followed by "Nass," (May 26, 2020), quoted a member of parliament, Amjad Al-Oqabi, as saying about the Saeron bloc as saying that "Iran should not be sensitive to Iraq’s work to develop its relations with Saudi Arabia, especially at this time that witnesses a major financial crisis due to a price collapse." Oil. "  

The following is the text of the newspaper's report:  

Iran is moving to use its arms inside Iraq in a campaign of media and political pressure on the government of Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi, which has already begun to improve Iraq’s relations with Saudi Arabia, while preparing to enter a strategic dialogue with the United States next June. Tehran fears that it will lead to the dedication of the presence of American forces to Iraqi lands instead of taking them out from there, as the Iranians hope.  

Iran did not find any response to the steps of opening Iraq to Saudi Arabia during the era of the new Iraqi Prime Minister, rather than moving its tools to harass the American presence in the country, due to its knowledge of the sensitivity of Al-Kazemi's position and his sure need to preserve the relations between Baghdad and Washington in the stage of the severe financial crisis that has reached the limit Putting forward the possibility of not being able to pay the salaries of employees and retirees at the end of next June.  

The leader of the League of the Righteous League, Qais Khazali, launched a media attack on the United States, saying that "Iraqis are ready to give their lives for the sake of sovereignty."  

Khazali called on the United States to withdraw its forces from Iraq, explaining that "if the withdrawal does not take place, the foreign occupier must know that the Iraqis will not accept the survival of his forces." When Khazali tried to ridicule the United States, reminding it of “what it tasted” at the hands of Hezbollah militia fighters, he fell in great contradiction, when he emphasized the determination of the “resistance factions” to avenge the commander of the Quds Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Qassem Soleimani and the chief of staff of the PMF Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis The two who were killed in an American operation near Baghdad airport early this year.  

Observers consider that the killing of Soleimani and the engineer in this way summarizes the way the United States deals with the overlapping files of Iraq and Iran, as it can take very big steps without fear of any consequences.  

But Khazali believes that "the United States, which is a superpower, could not keep up with one Iraqi faction," which is the Hezbollah Brigades accused of carrying out rocket attacks on sites that include American forces inside Iraq, that has so far caused the death of a civilian contractor of Iraqi origin and wounded a few soldiers, some of them Iraqis. And it destroyed Iraqi vehicles.  

Khazali asserts that "the heroes of Hizbullah tasted the United States what they tasted, so how will you face all the resistance factions."  

Before the killing of Soleimani and the engineer, most of the Iraqi militia’s weapons warehouses inside Iran were attacked, destroying what they contained. Later, former Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi accused Israel of carrying out these attacks.  

Khazali did not provide any details about the nature of "what the United States tasted" at the hands of "Islamic resistance factions", but he said, "We are ready to present our souls for the sake of dignity and sovereignty and do not forget the blood of the martyrs, the engineer and Soleimani."  

And on the upcoming negotiations between Iraq and the United States, Khazali said that "the Americans are negotiating in June to remember the centenary of the twentieth revolution," referring to the tribal uprising against British forces that entered Iraq during the First World War.  

Diplomatic sources told "Al-Arab" that the expected negotiations will take place in Baghdad next month, explaining that "the United States has prepared a team to communicate with the three presidencies, the government, the republic, and parliament, as well as representatives of the components."  

These negotiations aim to regulate the relationship between Washington and Baghdad, after the Shiite forces in the House of Representatives decided to ask the government to remove the American forces from Iraq.  

Iraqi National Security Adviser Faleh al-Fayyad says Iraq is optimistic about the future of its relations with the United States.  

Al-Fayyad also heads the PMF and revolves around Iranian influence, but informed sources indicate his recent approach to the axis of Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kazemi, close to the United States and Saudi Arabia.  

Al-Kazemi’s government sent clear signals of its intention to develop the relationship with Saudi Arabia when it sent the Prime Minister and Minister of Finance to Riyadh to discuss prospects for economic relations between the two countries.  

The move sparked an atmosphere of relaxation in Parliament, expressed by the "Saeroon" bloc, which is sponsored by Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.  

The deputy of the bloc in the Iraqi parliament, Amjad Al-Oqabi, said that Iran should not be sensitive to Iraq’s work to develop its relations with Saudi Arabia, especially at this time which witnesses a major financial crisis due to the collapse of oil prices.  

On the other hand, the Iraqi media, run by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, launched a massive attack on Saudi Arabia, accusing it of seeking to taint Iraq with new debts despite the apparent popular interest in Al-Kazimi's government’s moves towards Riyadh.  

Observers said that the pro-Iranian militia campaign aimed at publishing pictures of Khomeini, Khamenei, Suleimani, and Houthi in the Shiite cities of Iraq recently, is part of a campaign to disrupt the actions of Al-Kazemi’s government insisting on deepening communication with the Arab region of Baghdad. Through these images, the militias wanted to say that Iran dominates Iraq, both popularly and culturally, in the words of the writer and journalist Qais Hassan.  

But Speaker of Parliament Muhammad Al-Halbousi says that "the East has nothing to offer Iraq," referring to Iran, stressing the need to strengthen Iraq’s relations with the Gulf, the United States and the West in general.  

Al-Halbousi adds that Iraq will urgently need urgent understandings to confront its financial crisis caused by the collapse in oil prices, noting that "Iran cannot help Iraq while the West can do."  

Observers say statements similar to what Qais Khazali made on the second day of Eid Al-Fitr will remain present by Iraqi militia leaders close to Iran during the stage of Al-Kazemi’s government to at least balance the scene.  

No more than sharp statements from the militia leaders can be expected with some harassment calculated by the interests of the United States in Iraq, until the US presidential elections and the fate of Donald Trump's second term, which the Iranians hope will not happen.

Qanbar : pro-Iranian blocs and parties continue to pressure


image.php?token=112024e576b57ddc114259b1d6eb154f&size=

 

25th May, 2020
 


The President of the Future Foundation, Intifar Qanbar, confirmed today, Monday, that the blocs and parties that possess armed factions loyal to Iran continue to put pressure on the government of Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi, and they seek to seize power and guarantee influence.

Qanbar, in his speech to the "Tigris", warned that the parties' possession of money and weapons threatens to repeat the scenario of buying and selling positions, which threatens the integrity of the early elections, indicating that the parallel suffers due to party corruption and the collapse of oil prices globally.

In the context of the resurgence of ISIS activity in Iraq, Qanbar commented: Iran and the factions loyal to it are using the organization as a justification for their presence in Iraq, noting that ISIS escapes from Syria came in coordination between Iran and the Lebanese Hezbollah, as happened in the past from the transfer of the organization's elements to the Iraqi borders.

Iranian Revolutionary Guard warns commodity and fuel smugglers


1590456666_5eccd1f742360416392668c6.jpg

 

26th May 2020


The Iranian Revolutionary Guard has threatened to burn ships smuggling fuel and goods in the Gulf waters, accusing officials in neighboring countries of supporting smuggling from Iran for political purposes.

"We warn commodity and fuel smugglers who are harming our economic system, that if smuggling operations continue, we will burn their ships with their cargo after removing the sailors from them," our correspondent in Tehran quoted the commander of the Naval Forces in the Guards, Ali Reza Tungsiri, as saying.

While inspecting the marine units on the island of Qeshm in the waters of Al-Khaij in southern Iran, Tungsiri said, "The smuggling of goods of similar nature inside the country is a blow to the local economy and leads to the closure of Iranian factories and production units."

Tungsiri accused officials in some neighboring countries of supporting smuggling, without naming them. He said, "The enemies have started an economic-political struggle against Iran through smuggling," "They should know that the Revolutionary Guards will deal with this firmly, and smuggling will not be allowed to strike the economy," he added.

Tehran has repeatedly announced its detention of fuel smuggling ships in the Gulf waters, and said last week that the coast guard clashed with weapons with smugglers, killing and injuring elements on both sides, and seizing weapons and incendiary missiles.

Smugglers usually take advantage of the collapse of the national currency in Iran and the low price of fuel in it to smuggle it to neighboring countries.

Former US Treasury Secretary warns: Dollar is in danger


%D8%AF%D9%88%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%B1-696x435.j
 
 
17:07 - 05/26/2020
 
 

Former US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson considered that the internal situation in the United States poses a major threat to the global state of the American currency.

And the former US Treasury official warned that "Washington has to do something with the uncontrolled growth of public debt and the budget deficit, otherwise the dollar will lose its privileged position in the world."

Given the fact that the US currency plays the role of the major reserve currency in the world, this allows the United States to withstand a large trade deficit and reduce economic risks and provides American banks with a wide source of liquidity.

However, the former US Treasury Secretary described "a historical anomaly" that the dollar has maintained this trait for a long time. "The Chinese yuan has a greater potential, as the size of the Chinese economy and the prospects for growth and integration in the global economy contribute to increasing the role of the Chinese currency," the official, "Novosti" agency quoted the official as saying in the "Foreign Affairs" magazine.

Paulson stated, "The supremacy of the dollar arose only through a mixture of historical events and geopolitical conditions after World War II, the Federal Reserve policy, as well as the size and enormous dynamics of the American economy."

He recalled that in the first half of the twentieth century the dollar and the British pound were coins used in reserves of equal status.

On the other hand, Paulson believes that China cannot yet be described as threatening the stability of the US currency. Before China turns into a market economy, the yuan cannot become a true global currency.

And many countries around the world warn about the danger of the dollar dominating the global economy in the growing American public debt and the hostile policy Washington is taking against some countries.

If they think the US is hostile let China be the world’s reserve currency and see how that goes.  Paulson is another Globalist and should not be trusted in his agenda.

International media reported today, Wednesday, the arrival of a third Iranian oil shipment to Venezuela in order to alleviate the severe petrol shortage, which Caracas suffers from.

Reuters reported that the third Iranian tanker arrived in the exclusive economic zone of Venezuela, while the previous two shipments are being unloaded in two ports managed by the Venezuelan national oil company.

According to the agency, the tanker Petunia, flying the Iranian flag, crossed the Caribbean Sea early Tuesday, after it came from the Atlantic Ocean, following the same path that the two former tankers Fortune and Forest crossed.

The Venezuelan President, Nicholas Maduro, announced that he will announce in the coming days a plan to distribute oil and subsidized fuel in Venezuela. "Now we will be able to gradually enter a new normal position with regard to fuel supplies," Maduro added.

The US administration threatened to harass Iranian fuel tankers heading to Venezuela, while Iran decided to call the Swiss ambassador in Tehran, and sent a warning message to American officials that any threat to Iranian oil tankers would be met with an immediate and decisive response from Iran, and that the US government would bear responsibility and consequences for that.

25th May, 2020


The American Research and Development Foundation published the Rand Corporation's long study, which includes an assessment of the withdrawal of the United States forces from Iraq, and the strategic risks involved in making such a decision.

The study includes an evaluation of the options of the American military withdrawal from Iraq during the current year, within the framework of the declared political strategies of the United States and the objectives of its policies since 2005, and the study concluded that the support of a stable and friendly Iraq is in the interest of the United States continuing and long-term, and that this does not require Long term combat assistance mission in Iraq is required, but it requires maintaining a small force of military advisers to help train and develop Iraqi military capabilities so that Iraq can defend itself.

Options 

The study examined in detail four options related to military withdrawal from Iraq, ranging from non-withdrawal, limited partial withdrawal, full withdrawal, and ending the association altogether.

The study concluded that all levels of withdrawal harm the efforts aimed at confronting Iran in Iraq and elsewhere, and that any partial withdrawal will provide some benefits to Tehran, while failure to withdraw will make it clear to Iran that the United States and the allied forces it leads will remain permanent and reliable partners. To the Iraqi government, and that Iranian pressure will not achieve the desired result, which is the American withdrawal.

Combat assistance 

Certainly, stopping direct combat assistance to the Iraqi Security Forces' combat forces will leave a gap that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, or the Popular Mobilization Forces may fill, and a full withdrawal will increase the opportunity for Iranians to infiltrate into the Iraqi Security Forces training bases. On the other hand, ending the engagement completely by the United States will result in Iraq seeking a strong financial and material support arrangement, and inevitably it will include Iran.

Non-withdrawal and limited withdrawal 

The authors of the study recommend that there be a careful choice between non-withdrawal and limited withdrawal. Either of the two options will help achieve the required policy which is the commitment to having a permanent consultant on a small scale.

Failure to withdraw sends a strong message that the United States will not fear any threat that might lead it to abandon a very clear military commitment to an allied country, and maintaining current troop levels will also prevent a reduction in combat capability against ISIS, and it will maximize American influence with the Iraqi security forces 

A limited withdrawal is an adverse situation in the general permanent commitment policy. It still includes maintaining a consultative presence on a limited scale, but it begins with a clear and near-term reduction in the current levels of the forces, and if this withdrawal is carried out with care, and in light of diplomatic communication, it may reduce the current tensions with the Iraqi government, and may spoil Iran's efforts to shift the focus of the protesters Towards the United States, it is possible that the forces participating in the coalition fill the gaps that will result from the departure of the American forces.

He added: "We saw what they tried to do in 2016 and they failed. We cannot leave a more sophisticated version of that, just as we cannot allow large-scale ballot papers to take root in our country ." 

On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump accused the social networking site, Twitter, of "interfering" in the US presidential elections and undermining freedom of expression in the United States, after the site included, in a precedent of its kind, two of his tweets in the category of misleading tweets . 

"Twitter is interfering in the 2020 presidential election," Trump said in a tweet on his favorite platform to connect with the world .

The introductions of the dollar’s collapse are beginning towards the new economy

 

27/05/2020

Dr.. Ibrahim Al-Shammari *

 

The world is entering the penultimate stage of the great economic meltdown, which is a reversal called the new economy, in the light of which the centers of economic power in the world will change for reasons, most notably the accelerating technological development, the Corona pandemic, the economic recession that swept the world, and the rise of global debt to more than (350) trillion dollars After the global national product reached nearly (85) trillion dollars, as all the great countries became indebted to each other, and this heralds an inevitable economic crisis that will affect the great countries of the world.

To go into this field requires us to refer to the Bretton Woods agreement that was concluded in the United States of America in the year 1941 , in which the US dollar exchange rate was fixed against gold, where the price of an ounce was $ 35, then the currencies of the countries were fixed against the US dollar, And not allowing the currency exchange rate to fluctuate more than (2%) up and down from the fixed value against the dollar, and thus the system is similar to the gold standard and is sometimes described as the gold exchange standard and some countries imposed trade restrictions to protect reserves and exchange rates, so the currencies of most countries It was still essentially non-convertible until the late 1950's, exchange restrictions were removed and gold became an important component of international financial settlements .

But the rule of gold exchange had a weak point represented in patterns of prosperity - distress, with the strengthening of the economy may import a lot before the stock of gold required to support the currency decreased, as a result of that the flow of money decreases and interest rates escalate and the economic activity of the recession point leads and these moves led to The instability of the Forex price, which was strengthened by (Burton Woods) and in (1971) the United States abandoned (Burton Woods) so that it is no longer possible to exchange the dollar for gold and the power of supply and demand dominated the currencies of the major industrial countries that are now freely traded.

The successive economic developments in the world made the United States the first economy globally, but today, many countries are trying to achieve economic power through controlling energy centers and keeping pace with the technological development that led the United States to take incorrect steps that lead the dollar to collapse sooner or later,  most notably The price of gold has risen dramatically and continuously, the US dollar continues to decline, and the end result of the dollar's increasing decline against the euro and gold will be the collapse of the dollar as a complete collapse, as many currencies before it have collapsed when conditions are prepared for it. 

As the great decline of the dollar by (40%) in the last two decades, where the easiest way to bridge the deficit in the United States was to print more dollars and the greater the printing of the dollar, the lower its value (its purchasing power), and the huge deficit in the American trade balance because imports are more than exports. The deficit that exceeds (3) trillion dollars constitutes a great pressure on the dollar. The increase and increase of pumping money not covered by goods will inevitably destabilize the currency rates and the collapse of the currencies of the countries that won the "race to print currencies", including the dollar and the euro.

In the past, the dollar was a safe currency because of its stability and its dependence on the gold base. Today, dollar owners are re-calculating them due to its steady decline and the cracking of the American economy. Yes, there may be short recovery, but the end result is that the world is heading for the best and strongest according to the theory of natural selection, and this is what the compass directs towards the Chinese yuan, which is likely to be a well-studied jump due to the great strategic alliances that China is undertaking with India, Pakistan and other countries. Another to create a common market is in the currency (yuan).
