REMEMBER, no one really  knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take  everything with a grain of salt ...  RON

3-17-2025   Militia Man  There are things on the table that have not been sorted.  One of them is going to be the oil.  They have to have an evaluation for that.  We know they have to value the oil in a Real Effective Exchange Rate or they would have done it by now.  It's been two years and they've lost billions.  It's obvious, it's quite clear that they're going to do something different in the future.

 

3-17-2025   Frank26  Trump is changing the political landscape, the geopolitical landscape, the Geo-financial political of the whole freaking world and it's starting very heavily within the Middle East.  And Iran?  They know what Trump is going to do if they don't stop what they have been doing.

 

3-17-2025   Clare  Article: "Al-Sudani and the US Secretary of Defense discuss regional developments, Syria, and the Houthis by phone."  Quote: "Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani discussed with US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, on Sunday evening, security developments in the region...Both sides renewed their commitment to maintaining regional stability, while the US Secretary of Defense affirmed his country's commitment to supporting Iraq's long-term security and stability."

 

3-17-2025   Samson  Article: "Government advisor: Iraq's relationship with the US is characterized by positivity and ongoing cooperation" Quote: "Iraqis are exempt from the tightening of entry rules to the United States, according to a new list being considered by the US."
