Baghdad today - Baghdad

 

Independent Parliament member, Bassem Khashan, said on Monday (15 June 2020) that the Iraqi government is aware of the parties behind the bombing of the American embassy in Baghdad, or the Iraqi camps, the last of which is the Taji camp north of Baghdad, in which the international coalition forces are present.

Khashan said, in an interview with (Baghdad Today), that "the Iraqi government knows who is behind the bombing of the American embassy or the Iraqi camps, in which the international coalition forces are present, and if it does not know who the parties are, it can know who are those parties ".

And he warned that "the silence of the Iraqi government, on those sides, and not holding them accountable, may give impetus to terrorist groups, by launching such bombing operations against citizens." 

The deputy added that "the failure of the Iraqi government to disclose to the parties behind the bombing of the American embassy or the Iraqi camps, in which the international coalition forces are present, because of the association of these parties with political forces that have parliamentary representation, and even have representation in the Iraqi government, and for this government does not want a rivalry With these actors. " 

The joint operations command issued the day before yesterday, Saturday, a statement regarding the bombing of the Taji camp. 

The leadership said in a statement received (Baghdad today), that "despite our previous warnings to those who are trying to mix cards by tampering with security and threatening our heroic security forces by targeting their camps, but these parties launched this evening Saturday, two Katyusha rockets from the street 

The main counterparty to the Al-Nasr facility north of Baghdad has fallen inside the Taji camp (a camp belonging to the Iraqi security forces) without losses, in a message that does not want good for Iraq and its people, especially during this stage. 

And she added: "Therefore, our security services have received urgent direction to undertake a qualitative intelligence effort to reveal these entities that, despite our warnings to them, are seeking to weaken Iraq, and to know who Salt himself has tampered with the security of Iraq that he will be under the law soon."

Reading in the paragraphs of the joint Iraqi-American dialogue

2020.06.14 - 14:16

In the name of Al-Awadi

  

The governments of Iraq and the states issued a joint statement on the launch of the strategic dialogue between the two parties on June 6, 2014, although the first session was videoconferencing (online) and in a record time, but the joint statement contained many important implications that can be pointed out as follows:  

1- The idea of a joint statement and on behalf of the governments of the two countries indicating common consensus and harmony between the two countries.

2 - The statement considered that the original is the strategic framework agreement, and the current dialogue is based on it, and this means that there is no change in the framework agreement, and there is no room for a new, different agreement.

3- The statement affirmed the parties ’commitment to three things: the strategic framework agreement, diplomatic notes, and correspondence with the United Nations.
The framework agreement is well known. As for the diplomatic notes, the agreements signed by the Iraqi Minister of Foreign Affairs 2014 representing the government of Iraq, and the American ambassador representing the United States government, after ISIS entered Iraq, in which Iraq formally requested the support of the American forces and agreed to two conditions:  

 The first: It is the immunity of the American forces, and the second: It is to give a year to each party who wants to cancel the memo later. As for the correspondence, they are two documents, the first by Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari in the sixth month of 2014, and the other from the Iraqi Foreign Minister Ibrahim Jaafari on September 2014, requesting The international community supports militarily to help Iraq, and it contains an official announcement of Iraq’s request to support the United States militarily, according to the previous memoranda signed between officials of the two countries.  

On this basis, according to the joint statement, the strategic framework agreement / diplomatic notes / correspondence with the United Nations are all legal, binding on both parties, and are still in force and in force until new agreements are concluded at the end of the current dialogue, which means that the presence of US and international forces is still at the request of The government of Iraq is officially up to the next new agreement.

4- In the following text: ((The United States of America reaffirmed its respect for the sovereignty of Iraq, the territorial integrity of Iraq, and the relevant decisions of the Iraqi legislative and executive authorities)).
A clear commitment from the American administration that it respects the Iraqi parliament’s (non-binding) decision constitutionally to the government to leave US forces from Iraq, or to schedule their withdrawal to the lowest possible number according to arrangements to come, knowing that the first Iraqi memo that requested the support of the United States militarily on 6/22/2014 required The American administration has stated that if any party requests to cancel the memo, the second party should be given a year to make the arrangements.

5- Confirmation of sending American economic advisors to help the Iraqi government overcome the current crisis, noting that the text referred to Iraqi economic reforms in the sense that the US administration is waiting for the government to implement a clear reform program with the support of its advisers, which is part of the pillars of the dialogue and its results, and also the text indicated that One of the advisers' tasks is to help Iraq obtain international financial and economic support, as well as to assist in economic reform plans that can persuade international institutions to provide aid, loans, or otherwise.

6- The text confirms Iraq’s commitment to open energy investments to American companies, but it is conditioned by the availability of a good working environment.  

7 - The text related to political aspects, in which America committed to support the Al-Kazemi government, politically and securely, and the elections were mentioned twice in the text, which confirms the continuation of this path.  

8- In the security partnership clause, America clearly committed to reducing the number of American forces in Iraq, and America originally began reducing its forces in agreement with Al-Abadi in 2018, but it stopped and even increased its forces due to the confusing equation that formed the October 2018 government and the behavior of some people at home And abroad, who contributed to wasting a year and a half of Iraq’s life with an unviable formula designed as a personal mood governed by external factors that have nothing to do with Iraq.

9 - America committed not to establish fixed bases in Iraq, as stated in the Strategic Framework Agreement in the first place, but this does not prevent, according to the text, from having a temporary presence, and this is what most active political blocs accept.

10- The text also indicates that security cooperation is determined exclusively by the security agreements between the two governments, meaning that no other Iraqi institution has entered into these security agreements, nor parliament, judiciary, blocs, or parties, and that the Iraqi government is committed to this original as all previous governments were bound by.

11- In exchange for America’s obligations in the dialogue paper, the Iraqi government affirmed its commitment to protect international forces, including the American, in all places where it is on Iraqi soil. America’s commitment to withdraw most forces and not to establish permanent bases corresponds to an Iraqi commitment to full protection, and any defect from any party may Delays the implementation of these obligations.

12- The text also indicated that the presence of international forces, including the US - a place and a number - will be agreed upon later within the phases of the dialogue.

13. On the cultural level, the two governments discussed plans to return the important political archive to the Government of Iraq, and efforts to develop the capacities of Iraqi universities. The two parties also discussed plans to return artifacts, the Baath party archive to Iraq, return the political archive and the Baath archive to their sovereign or material value, yes returning the artifacts or cooperation with universities is a very important issue.  

14- What remains is that the international presence is greater than being American, and therefore there is a need for negotiations also regarding the presence of the rest of the international forces, and there are also advisers to other regional or international countries, and the presence of these also needs to be studied and decided about them.

15- The general text of the joint statement is preliminary, and did not refer to the date of the second dialogue session, but it will need timings, schedules and dates for implementation, perhaps the delegations will enter to define it in the future, and since there is a year requirement for each party, it can be said that the dialogue and negotiations have a full year up to 6/11 2021 to make final decisions in this regard.

16 - Some expect that the new negotiations will start after the US elections in November and the knowledge of the new American administration, but some suggest that the original negotiations will be after the upcoming early Iraqi elections, and this is what the reference pointed out in its sermon on the topic of foreign presence and desired by political blocs a lot.

Ready to experiment with humans

US Army scientists develop a vaccine against Corona

2020.06.15 - 17:30

 

Baghdad - people  
 

US military scientists have developed a vaccine against the emerging coronavirus, which has now been chosen for human testing, after extensive laboratory and rat tests have been completed.  

The US Army Laboratory at the Walter Reed Research Institute announced that a vaccine he was developing was chosen to move to the stage of clinical trials.  

The institute said in a statement, which was received by the "Al-Hurra" website and followed by "NAS" (June 15, 2020), "The number of candidate vaccines has been limited from more than 24 prototypes, in order to identify the vaccines that raised a promising response to antibodies in studies that precede clinical trials." ".  

"The main candidate is Spike Frein Nanoparticle (SpFN), and human trials on it will begin later this year," the statement said.  

The National Interest website stated that clinical trials will begin soon, and may be this month, after the safety of a prototype vaccine has been confirmed to be tested in humans.  

"Once the immune system touches and defeats a disease, it develops antibodies. And experiments in mice aim to ensure that they produce antibodies," Terry Welch, director of strategic communications at Walter Reed Research Institute, said earlier this year.  

Welch added that while safety and efficacy are critical conditions for using prototypes for new vaccines in humans, there are cases in which the initial approval of the FDA can be accelerated for "emergency use".  

One of the reasons why official approval for an effective vaccine takes several months, is the complexity associated with what scientists call an "adaptive immune system". Developing antibodies against specific pathogens may be a complex and difficult medical process, according to an article published in the Journal of Global Infectious Diseases, entitled "Basics of vaccine immunity."  

In contrast to the general physical resistance called the innate immune system, an adaptive immune response is "specific against a specific pathogen."  

Thus, the innate system includes, according to the article, preventive measures described as a "first line of defense" such as healthy skin and mucous membranes that prevent the entry of many microorganisms.      

Elements of the innate system also include things like inflammation or high body temperature due to fever, that are able to stop or fight pathogens and toxins.  

But the biological methods used by the innate system do not allow an immune response to "improve its response to each repeated exposure to the same pathogen," according to the article.  

Here comes the role of the adaptive system that includes blood proteins called antibodies, and T cells, to fight a specific pathogen.  

While an adaptive immune system takes longer to develop, it "has a memory which means that it will respond more quickly to a specific pathogen with every exposure".  

These biological phenomena explain, according to National Interest, the reason behind all current talk about antibodies to the emerging coronavirus.  

As Welch pointed out, a vaccine against corona exposes the body to low levels of the pathogen to help it develop antibodies necessary to destroy the virus and develop immunity against Covid-19.

Security expert warns: 7 thousand ISIS are active on the borders of Iraq and Syria

 

 

06/15/2020 09:23:23

 

 

Less than a year after the announcement of ISIS defeat, the organization has resurfaced again since early this year. Since January 2020, ISIS activities have increased in Iraq and Syria, but it has not reached the level of military occupation of cities and villages.

 

Hisham al-Hashemi, a member of the Advisory Council for Iraq and a researcher on extremism and terrorism at the Center for Global Policy, attributed to statements to the newspaper "Albalad" that ISIS lacks at present a funding and environment incubator, in addition to the presence of international and American coalition forces in Iraq.

He added that the new leader of the organization, Abu Ibrahim al-Quraishi al-Hashemi, is less attractive than his predecessor Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and does not possess the religious-juristic scientific capacity that Baghdadi possesses, but he is a hardliner and has a long history of belonging to terrorist groups since 2001, including al-Qaeda.

Al-Hashemi pointed out that the number of active ISIS fighters in Iraq and Syria at the present time is 6-7 thousand fighters, in addition to 11-12 thousand inactive logistics personnel, concentrated in open areas, border areas and areas with difficult and complex geographical topography, in eastern Syria and the West Iraq and northeastern Iraq. He suggested that ISIS and al-Qaeda might be returning in the medium term to a new union that would give them greater ability to return.

Al-Khakiani: Iraq is on a date with bigger demonstrations than before to topple the government

 

 

08:59 - 15/06/2020

 

Among political analyst Karim El-Khikani, that Iraq is on a date with millions of demonstrations to topple the government after its failure to take decisions and its pension to employees and retirees.

Al-Khikani told Al-Maalouma that “the upcoming salaries will witness a great uproar and will result in millions of demonstrations that roam the capital’s streets from various governorates with the aim of bringing down the government and finding immediate solutions away from prejudice to salaries.”

He added that "the government has several options to get rid of the current crisis and reconcile the people, especially the employees and retirees, as it is possible to go towards self-financing for some departments and develop productive sectors in order to finance the ministries with the money they need to cover the salaries of their employees."

Between "floundering in taking decisions and favoring political parties and blocs will generate a negative reaction from the rising street against corruption and neglect, and the demand may become the dismissal of the government and the entire political class."

The Iranians live under a political system that imposes social restrictions for four decades, but it does not apply to everyone. The account of “wealthy Tehran children” exposes the super-rich before the eyes of the hungry who suffer a massive economic depression.

And the Washington Post says that some of these young people have a relationship with the Iranian government, which gives them jobs, scholarships and "travel facilitation unlike others."

The American newspaper pointed out that a photo of the granddaughter of the leader of the Khomeini Islamic Revolution was taken while carrying a handbag worth $ 3,800, indicating that a small percentage of Iranians can purchase a handbag at this combed price, and the newspaper added that accounts like Rich Kids of Tehran opened the way for the Iranian people Until he sees firsthand inequality in society and talk about it.

".. He posted a video with three girls on his bed and added "emoji" money.

Reports added that Rasoul Tolwi, the son of a retired commander of the Revolutionary Guards, angered some Iranians when he published a photo of his daughter's second birthday party, and he boasts of the wealth he enjoyed by showing him possessing a tiger, while a cleric commented: It is impossible to be a young man in the 25-year-old is rich so alone !, "People struggle to buy diapers for their children in which country do you live?"

And the Washington Post says that "the Iranian economy is collapsing by any measure," stressing that those who feel this are "ordinary people" because it is simply: unemployment rose and the currency lost more than half its value last year.

The reports also mention another name, among them the son of an Iranian diplomat, Sasha Sobhani, whose half-million followers shared an Instagram photo while he was on a Greek island, commenting: “Will you be jealous like this for how long?” Girls on his bed added "Emoji" money.

 

In response to the account, Iranian activists launched the "Poor Kids of Tehran" account in what they said came to transfer Iran's true image from the bottom that is struggling to save a living.

Businessmen protest in front of the Central Bank of Iran

 

15th June, 2020

A protest reminiscent of the bloody November demonstrations

 

Dozens of Iranian merchants gathered in front of the Central Bank of Iran on Sunday, demanding the dismissal of its governor, Nasser al-Hamti, while the Iranian economy is suffering an unprecedented contraction and scarcity of foreign exchange due to the US sanctions that Washington re-imposed on Tehran after its withdrawal from the nuclear agreement.  The protesters say that they did not obtain foreign currencies at discounted rates according to the mechanism of importing the goods despite having paid for them in the central bank accounts for months. American sanctions apply to foreign financial institutions, which deal with the Central Bank and the rest of Iranian banks, and also include companies operating ports, shipyards and Iranian shipping companies.

The devaluation of the Iranian currency after the reimposition of the sanctions had disrupted the country's foreign trade and exacerbated the annual inflation that the International Monetary Fund had expected to reach 31 percent this year. The Iranian economy is suffering badly after US President Donald Trump announced his country's withdrawal from the nuclear deal in 2018 and reimposed sanctions in a campaign of "maximum pressure" against Iran. When Iran raised gasoline prices in November, protests erupted across the country and turned violent before they were suppressed by the security forces and the authorities cut off the internet almost completely. Already, the increased pressure from US sanctions is undermining Iran's oil industry and reducing its crude exports, and thus hard currency earnings. 

Last month, the United States announced the end of exceptions that permitted projects related to Iran's civilian nuclear program, in the last step of the US disengagement from the 2015 international agreement that President Donald Trump withdrew. The Trump administration now intends to work to extend the international ban on the sale of conventional weapons to Iran, which ends in October, while Tehran has warned that such a measure would do "eternal death" for the nuclear program deal. The Institute of International Finance stressed that the stagnation of the Iranian economy, which suffers from sanctions that limit oil sales, will intensify during the current fiscal year. If the US sanctions persist, according to the Institute of International Finance, "after two years of severe recession, growth will remain weak in the medium term, the unemployment rate will rise further to exceed 20 percent, and official reserves will continue to decline to about 20 billion dollars by March 2023."

After months of tension ... a US-China crisis meeting in Hawaii

 

16th June, 2020

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will meet in Hawaii tomorrow, Wednesday, the senior Chinese official, Yang Jiechi, at the first meeting at this level, after months of severe tension between the two countries.

Hong Kong newspaper, "The South China Morning Post," Monday, quoted an unnamed source as saying that the Chinese official who will meet with Pompeo in Hawaii is Yang Jiechi, chief foreign policy official of the Communist Party of China, and that the meeting between them will take place on Wednesday.

The "Politico" newspaper was the first to refer to an upcoming meeting in Hawaii, the American archipelago in the Pacific, between Pompeo and a senior Chinese official, who was not identified. While the US State Department did not make any comment on the news, its Chinese counterpart said only that the two countries "kept in contact."

The last formal meeting between Pompeo and Yang Jiechi dates back to April 15, and since then US-China relations have further deteriorated. Pompeo was at the forefront of US officials, who have sharply criticized China for its handling of the Corona pandemic crisis.

Pompeo initially accused Beijing of hiding the scope and severity of the outbreak of the Coronavirus, thereby imposing on it the responsibility for the outbreak in the rest of the world and the victims it had acquired, and the repercussions it caused, especially the economic ones. But the US minister soon escalated the seriousness of his accusation of Beijing, saying publicly that he believed that the virus, and if its origin was natural, it may have been accidentally leaked from a laboratory in Wuhan, the Chinese city where the virus first appeared in late 2019.

China rejects all these accusations, stressing that it has fully dealt with the epidemic crisis. Soon, the escalation of Sino-US tensions escalated, and branched out with the entry of US President Donald Trump on the line threatening Beijing with retaliatory measures for its role in this "global massacre."

A deputy reveals a secret agreement between Baghdad and Washington regarding setting the date for the American withdrawal

 

 

Policy 06/1920 2020 09:08 1604     

Baghdad today - Baghdad , 

 

the deputy of the Al-Fateh Alliance, Mukhtar al-Musawi, confirmed on Wednesday (17 June 2020) that an agreement he described as secret in the strategic dialogue between Iraq and the United States of America was held last Thursday regarding the withdrawal of its forces from the country. 

Moussawi told (Baghdad today), that "the American forces will not stay on Iraqi soil for a long time," noting that "the strategic dialogue with Washington touched on this matter." 

He added that "during the dialogue, the two sides agreed to schedule the withdrawal of the forces secretly without being announced," noting that "the date for the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq is ahead of the US elections, according to what we have received." 

With regard to the American pledges in the dialogue to support Iraq in his financial crisis, he said, "We will not count on the Americans to support Iraq to get out of the financial crisis because Washington is working on the ruin and destruction of the country and not its reconstruction. If it had such intentions, it would have worked on that since 2003." 

In a dialogue with him on the "Shortest Roads" program, on Al Sharqiya station, the head of the Iraqi delegation in the strategic dialogue with the United States, Abdul Karim Hashem, revealed the course of negotiations regarding the presence of American forces in Iraq, where he indicated that "during the hours of the dialogue we had with Washington We discussed with the American side the presence of foreign forces. "

"We have constants, including the decision of the Iraqi Council of Representatives to remove these forces, in addition to ending the remaining ISIS gangs, because the current ISIS challenge is not the same as before and dealing with it differed, as we emphasized not permitting a permanent US military presence in Iraq."

He went on to say, "America's request for dialogue with Iraq does not mean that it wants to stay and they did not ask for it. They remain according to an authorization from the Iraqi government."

Accordingly, the connection with the Gulf countries is only made through Kuwait," noting that "the ministry did not come up with and did not reach it."

On the other hand, Al-Abadi pointed out, "The availability of fuels for electrical stations, including gas supplied, whether from the Ministry of Oil or the Iranian side, which amounts to 40 million cubic feet per day, as there are not a few generating units that work with this substance to ensure their efficiency during work."   

On the supply of electricity to the Iranian side of Iraq, Al-Abadi said that "the energy supplied reaches 1,100 megawatts at peak times across four lines, three of which are in the southern regions and the last one is preparing Diyala province and parts of Baghdad," explaining that "this amount can be reduced and as needed." .
