Iraqi factions: Europe’s forces legitimate targets if they back US-Israel strikes on Iran
Iraqi factions: Europe’s forces legitimate targets if they back US-Israel strikes on Iran
Shafaq News- Baghdad The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella for Iran-aligned armed factions, has warned that European countries supporting US and Israeli military operations against Iran could see their forces and interests in Iraq and across the region targeted.
In a statement on Thursday, the group described the United States and Israel as “mobilizing allies” against “the free people of the Islamic Republic and the region.” It warned that any European country participating in the military campaign “will be considered an enemy of our peoples and sanctities.”
The warning comes as fighting between the United States and Israel on one side and Iran on the other has intensified since Feb. 28, when joint strikes targeted sites inside Iran, prompting Tehran to launch retaliatory missile and drone strikes on Israel and US military bases in Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
In Iraq, factions aligned with Tehran have stepped up activity under the banner of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, claiming rocket and drone attacks against what they describe as “enemy bases” in Iraq and neighboring areas.
Several European countries have also taken steps tied to the conflict. The United Kingdom allowed the United States to use its military bases for what Prime Minister Keir Starmer described as “defensive strikes,” and deployed helicopters with anti-drone systems and a warship toward Cyprus after a drone struck a British base there earlier this week.
France reinforced its presence on the island with a frigate and additional air defense assets, according to President Emmanuel Macron. Spain, however, rejected the US strikes, prompting US President Donald Trump to threaten a full American embargo on Madrid in response to the socialist government’s position.

MILITIAMAN: Sudani Emerges as Likely Prime Minister as Maliki Steps Aside
New commentary circulating within geopolitical and economic analysis communities suggests a major political shift in Iraq could soon take place.
According to insights shared by Militia Man, reports indicate that the nomination of Nouri al‑Maliki may be officially withdrawn, potentially clearing the path for Mohammed Shia' Al‑Sudani to become Iraq’s next Prime Minister.
If confirmed, this development could mark a significant step toward a more stable government and deeper economic integration for Iraq.
Withdrawal of Maliki’s Nomination: A Major Political Development
Recent reports suggest that political blocs inside Iraq are preparing to formally remove Maliki from the prime ministerial race.
If this occurs:
A public statement is expected soon.
Political blocs may unify behind a new candidate.
The focus would shift toward forming a stable governing coalition.
Many observers believe this move could reduce political deadlock and accelerate government formation.
Why Sudani Is Seen as the Leading Candidate
According to analysts following the situation, Mohammed Shia' Al‑Sudani is widely viewed as the strongest candidate for Prime Minister for several reasons:
1. Largest Political Bloc
Sudani reportedly has the backing of one of the largest blocs in parliament.
2. Administrative Experience
He has previously held key government positions and is viewed as experienced in governance.
3. International Support
Many analysts believe he has broader regional and international acceptance, which is crucial for economic cooperation and investment.
These factors position him as a consensus candidate capable of stabilizing Iraq’s political landscape.
Iraq Preparing for Global Financial Integration
Beyond politics, another major development discussed by observers is the economic preparation happening within Iraq’s financial system.
The Central Bank of Iraq has been implementing several reforms aimed at modernizing the country’s banking infrastructure.
Key developments reportedly include:
Strengthening capital reserves
Improving trade finance capabilities
Expanding digital banking infrastructure
These reforms are viewed as essential steps for integrating Iraq into global financial systems.
Digital Banking Upgrades and SWIFT Integration
One of the most significant technological steps involves improvements in international payment systems.
Iraq’s banking sector is reportedly aligning with:
SWIFT messaging standards
ISO 20022
Future digital currency corridors
These upgrades could allow Iraqi banks to communicate more efficiently with global financial institutions and facilitate cross-border transactions.
Compliance With Global Financial Gatekeepers
Another critical step toward financial integration involves compliance with international regulatory bodies.
Iraq’s reforms aim to meet standards set by organizations such as:
International Monetary Fund (IMF)
Bank for International Settlements (BIS)
Financial Action Task Force (FATF)
Meeting these standards helps ensure:
Anti-money laundering compliance
financial transparency
reduced systemic risk in banking
These requirements are often necessary before countries can fully participate in global capital markets.
What This Means for Iraq’s Economic Future
If Iraq successfully forms a stable government and completes its financial reforms, several major developments could follow:
WTO Integration
Iraq could move closer toward full participation in global trade systems.
Capital Market Expansion
International investors may gain greater confidence in Iraq’s financial environment.
Exchange Rate Readiness
Analysts often reference the Real Effective Exchange Rate (REER) as a key measure used when evaluating currency stability and competitiveness.
Progress in these areas would signal that Iraq is preparing for larger international capital flows.

Militia Man
Here is what was to be expected. They are making a move to withdraw Maliki's nomination officially. An official statement will likely be forthcoming very soon. If they do Al-Sudani is highly likely to get the nod for PM. He is the most qualified, has the largest bloc and global support. To me at this stage Maliki's nomination is effectively over. The outcome is looking to be a cleaner and more stable government, as the outcome.
Iraq is ready now for integration. The CBI's actions show the sectors being prepared for the next level. They have a stronger capital base, better ability to finance trade projects. It had digital upgrades...seamless integration with Swift MX, ISO-2022 and future CBDC corridors.
Compliance enforcement meets the gatekeepers (IMF, BIS, FATF -Financial Action Task Force) standards. This positions Iraq to handle large-scale capital flows...without systemic risks, meaning integration for the WTO, capital markets and their REER (real effective exchange rate) readiness. It all can proceed when prudent.

FNU LNU & CLARE: Middle East Tensions: Trump, Iran, and Global Oil Security
The Middle East has experienced heightened tensions between Iran, the United States, and Israel, but according to recent commentary from Fnu Lnu and Clare, the situation has not spiraled out of control. Despite threats in the Strait of Hormuz, international oil shipments continued, avoiding global energy crises.
This post analyzes recent developments, President Trump’s strategic interventions, and the role of global insurance firms in maintaining oil security.
The Strait of Hormuz and Global Oil Shipping
The Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil transportation, faced threats amid Middle East conflicts. Some reports suggested that oil shipments could be disrupted.
However, the situation remained controlled, and the shipping lanes were never closed. Analysts argue that this prevented global oil shortages and catastrophic price spikes.
Lloyd’s of London: The King’s Insurance Company
An often-overlooked factor is Lloyd’s of London, the insurer of international oil shipments. According to Fnu Lnu:
Lloyd’s withdrew its willingness to insure oil shipments at the request of the British Empire and the King.
Had Lloyd’s not stepped back, it could have effectively halted global oil shipping.
President Donald Trump intervened by authorizing the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to cover insurance gaps, ensuring uninterrupted shipping.
This move reportedly thwarted a potential attempt to manipulate global oil prices through artificial shortages.
President Trump’s Statement on Iran
Clare shared a direct quote from President Trump:
“There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!).”
The statement highlights:
Firm negotiation stance on Iran
Emphasis on strong leadership selection
Strategic alliances to rebuild Iran’s economy
This reflects a broader geopolitical strategy linking security, economics, and diplomacy.
Why This Matters for Global Markets
Several factors make these developments noteworthy for investors and global observers:
Energy Stability – Preventing the closure of the Strait of Hormuz avoids major oil price spikes.
Insurance Dynamics – The withdrawal of Lloyd’s could have disrupted shipping, showing how insurance influences global markets.
US Strategic Intervention – Trump’s use of the DFC ensured continuity, highlighting alternative mechanisms to stabilize international trade.
Economic Rebuilding – Planning for Iran’s future economy has implications for regional trade and investment.
Q&A: Middle East Tensions & Oil Security
Q1: Did the Strait of Hormuz ever close?
A: No, despite threats, the Strait remained open, and oil shipments continued uninterrupted.
Q2: Why is Lloyd’s of London significant?
A: Lloyd’s is a major insurer for global oil shipments. Its temporary withdrawal could have disrupted international energy supply.
Q3: What role did the US DFC play?
A: The US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) provided insurance coverage to maintain oil shipments, countering potential disruptions.
Q4: What does President Trump’s MIGA plan entail?
A: MIGA (“Make Iran Great Again”) aims to rebuild Iran’s economy post-conflict through leadership selection, alliances, and strategic economic reforms.
Key Takeaways
Middle East tensions have been significant but contained.
Strategic US intervention prevented global oil supply disruptions.
Lloyd’s of London’s withdrawal demonstrated how financial tools can influence energy markets.
President Trump emphasizes economic rebuilding and leadership restructuring in Iran.
Global markets and energy prices remain sensitive to geopolitical developments.

Fnu Lnu
The middle east conflict with Iran, the US, and Israel is intense but at no point has it gotten out of hand. The Straight of Hormuz was threatened but never closed. More importantly, Lloyd's of London, the insurer of oil shipments withdrew its willingness to insure oil shipments at the behest of the British Empire and its King. This would have shut down oil shipping completely except that President Donald Trump authorized the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to pick up the slack thus thwarting Great Britain's attempt to cause global oil shortages and high prices. Let their be no doubt, Lloyd's of London is the King's insurance company...
Clare
President Trump Truth post "There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. “MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!).” Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"
