The Critical Decisive Strikes: Analyzing the Recent Military Activities in Iraq
Military Activity in Iraq: A Critical Juncture
On December 3, the U.S. army reportedly embarked on a successful mission in the vicinity of Kirkuk in northeastern Iraq. In an operation aimed at eliminating threats to peace and stability, the forces, according to source reports, successfully eliminated five combatants and obliterated an unmanned aerial vehicle.
The Rise of Militancy in the Region
Imposing a substantial threat to peace in Iraq is the Iran-aided group – “Islamic Resistance in Iraq.” In a striking display of provocation, the outfit reportedly launched attacked four American bases straddled across Syria and Iraq on the night of December 3. Drawing information from the data that the Pentagon revealed on November 30, American bases in Syria and Iraq experienced 74 barrages since October 17, launched by Iran-aided groups in the region.
The Role of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM)
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) carries a significant role in maintaining peace and stability in the Middle Eastern, Eastern African, and Central Asian regions. By overseeing the planning of operations in hostile situations and directing the deployment of U.S. forces, CENTCOM seeks to ensure that potential threats are efficiently neutralized.
Defending the Red Sea
In another recent development occurring alongside Iraq’s fragility, an American destroyer reportedly struck down three drones, said to be released from Yemen, in the Red Sea on December 3. The interception of such offensive deployments represents active efforts to stabilize the region against potential disruptors.
The Warning from the U.S. Department of State
Showing a staunch stand against the threats to American forces in Iraq and the Middle East, the U.S. Secretary of State issued a statement on behalf of the U.S. Government. The official warned against anyone endangering American military personnel in the Middle East region, indicating the U.S.’s readiness to shield its forces.
A Word of Caution to Iran
Reflecting the U.S. Government’s strong sentiment against militancy and disruption of peace, a higher authority sent a stern warning to Iran. Reiterating the country’s commitment to protect its interests and uphold peace, the message to Iran was clear: exercise caution.
Conclusion
In light of these developments, it appears that the military activity in Iraq is at a critical juncture. The evolving dynamic between non-state actors and established forces of power portrays a region struggling for stability, peace, and progress. It is imperative to continue analyzing the situation as it unfolds through decisive strikes, international warnings, and proactive defense strategies. In time, these dynamics could respectively outline the future of military engagement and, more importantly, of peace in the Iraq region.
Iraq in Talks with Turkmenistan to Import Natural Gas, 5 DEC
Iraq in Talks with Turkmenistan to Import Natural Gas
In a significant move towards bolstering its energy security, the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity has commenced negotiations with Turkmenistan Gas Company to import 25 million cubic meters of natural gas daily. This crucial step, as reported by the Iraqi News Agency, intends to fully satiate the fuel needs of six prominent power stations in the region.
Meeting the Energy Demand
The decision by the Ministry of Electricity aligns with the directives of Prime Minister Mohammed Shiaa’ Al-Sudani. The proposed quantity of gas import is aimed at meeting the escalating demand for electricity in the region and ensuring a stable supply of natural gas and electricity, particularly in the event of delays or technical issues in Iran.
Upon successful procurement, this import will entirely meet the natural gas requirements of several operating units, including the Mansuriyah, Sadr, Basmaya, South Baghdad Gas Station Second, Quds, and Taji stations.
Regional Energy Landscape
The negotiation comes amidst a wider reshaping of the Eurasian energy landscape. Countries like Kazakhstan, Russia, and Uzbekistan are currently considering the formation of a trilateral ‘gas union’ for infrastructure development and foreign market expansion. The concept of such a gas union is considered ‘extremely relevant’ and beneficial for all involved nations.
Energy Initiatives Across the Middle East
In related energy news, Saudi Arabia is making significant strides in the realm of renewable energy. It plans to launch renewable energy projects with a capacity of 20 gigawatts in 2024 after quadrupling its renewable energy production from 700 megawatts to 2.8 gigawatts. Furthermore, the kingdom is taking steps to be a major global source of green hydrogen and is developing international partnerships to foster green hydrogen projects within the country.
In the pursuit of global climate goals, the Saudis are focusing on innovation and a wide range of technologies to secure affordable energy access in a more sustainable future for all, addressing the fundamental challenges of climate change.

The Central Bank of Iraq confirmed some Iraqi banks are transferring dollars from their accounts to intermediary banks who are distributing the dollars to their customers. The Central Bank of Iraq said this will contribute to reducing the exchange rate of the parallel dollar...[We're] thinking this is to keep the black market intact. This means the decision to only use Iraqi dinar in all transactions beginning January 1, 2024 may cause concerns and the Central Bank of Iraq is making moves to control any possible issues.
Article: "Inflation rate in Iraq declines in 2023 compared to 2022"
The Central Bank of Iraq announced the inflation rate decreased in 2023 compared to 2022. Inflation in Iraq reached approximately 3.7% in August 2023, compared to 4.4% in August 2022. Iraq's inflation rate is good compared to many countries where inflation has reached 30% and 40%...
Wealthy Iraqis move to the Caribbean. Guess who's on the list? ...The leader of the Kurdistan region and the former governor of the Central Bank of Iraq and other businessmen suspected of corruption...Iraq's politician are monitored by the organized Crime and Corruption Report Project (OCCRP)...This is part of the effort to catch
individual involved in corruption....The project reported the purchase of Dominica (tiny Caribbean island) citizenship...enabling them to travel worldwide without a Visa...This country's visa is magical. Citizens can travel to 144 countries without a visa..
The reason countries have foreign reserves is to make sure that a country has backup funds if its national currency rapidly devalues or becomes entirely worthless. It's common practice for central banks of different countries around the world to hold large amounts of reserves of foreign exchange. Most of these reserves are held in US dollars since it is the most traded currency in the world...The amount of monies a country holds in its reserves has a lot to do with the county's currency rate...Iraq has the largest foreign currency reserves in its' history.

Question: 'Is it December for Iraq or for international as well?' [Frank's current timeline for the RI is before 2024]
Both, because the citizens will be receiving their purchasing power and the currency will then start to go outside the border in international trade and start to climb in value.
The CBI wants more dollars? No, they want less dollars.
What does the US Treasury want? More dollars in Iraq?
No, they want the CBI to introduce the new currency with the new exchange rate. That will benefit the United States because the United States and the Federal Reserve have billions and billions of dinars stacked up just like they did the last time they did this...with Kuwait from 1990 to 1999.
The only problem this time is they took twice [the time]...
Some of you were asking, Frank,
You don't want me to take my eyes off of my dinars but some of the banks I called said they're going to send them to another bank and inspect them and then bring them back?
Yeah, well you ask them for the address of that bank and you take your dinars to that bank and let them inspect them in front of you. Once that's done and they give you credit and you see your account is credited with the right amount well then you're happy they can have all the dinars you took to them. But never separate yourself from your dinars. There are evil people in this world. They'll find a way to steal.

Digital Dinar Instead Of Cash Dollar.” These Are The Most Prominent Gains Of Electronic Payment, 4 DEC
Digital Dinar Instead Of Cash Dollar.” These Are The Most Prominent Gains Of Electronic Payment
Economy |1-12-2023, | Baghdad Today – Baghdad Today, Friday (December 1, 2023), Advisor to the Prime Minister for Financial Affairs, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, explained the gains of adopting the electronic payments system in transactions inside Iraq.
Saleh said in a statement received by "Baghdad Today", "The cash payments system is linked to a high degree of certainty whenever payments are made by electronic or digital means, which provides an indicator of liquidity in the banking system and reduces the degree of uncertainty in banking liquidity."
He explained that "the payments system provides sufficient information about the flow of cash into the banking system, makes clear the amounts of paid and accumulated amounts, and indicates their actual balances at all times during the banking working day.
Conversely, in light of monetary systems that rely on direct cash payment, banking liquidity management policies surround themselves." With additional hedges of idle liquidity in order to protect against liquidity risks.
Saleh stated, “This matter disrupts an aspect of banking and credit operations in particular,
so as electronic payments increase as a behavior in daily dealings, the management of the cash mass and its flow in the banking system will be subject to the rule of clarity in cash management and then directing bank credit towards profitable areas by expanding...
Credit activity provides efficient use of the cash supply, as well as a decrease in the rate of cash leakages outside banks,
which means that a structural change in the behavior of cash demand among individuals and at banks will tend towards a decline, due to dealing with electronic payment systems that are linked to bank accounts.”
He stressed, “The development of the payments environment and its transition from a direct cash environment or cash payment in payment and receipt operations to the use of electronic payment will, in all cases, reduce the risks of local cash payment in currencies other than the dinar and distance the national economy’s transactions from cash payment in foreign currency, because payment systems Digital does not allow transactions in the local economy in anything other than the dinar,
that is, the national currency, and certainly the economy’s tendency in its transaction payments is to (the digital dinar) instead of (the cash dollar), whose transactions in internal settlements are legally rejected completely by virtue of the principle of monetary sovereignty of the Iraqi dinar.

Article: "It's time for the Iraqi economy to be linked to the global economic cycle. Al-Sudani stresses the government's endeavors to achieve an industry that exports its product outside Iraq."
That's exactly what we need. Everybody knows Iraq has been an import country and they've been using oil as a revenue stream. N ow they're going to go from a rentier oil industry to a non-oil revenue stream country...You have the industrial cities, liquid natural gas, tourism, agriculture...Iraq is filthy with minerals.
What we're seeing is probably one of the most exciting times we've ever been in and there's more to come...
We all see the writing on the wall at this point in time that Iraq is going to go international. They're going to be part of the WTO. With them going to the private sector you can just see it's going to be a robust economy in this country.
