A GOVERNMENT MOVE TO LIFT THE US SANCTIONS IMPOSED ON IRAQI BANKS
Information/private. A member of the House of Representatives, Mohammed Al-Sayhoud, revealed on Thursday a government move to lift the US sanctions imposed on Iraqi banks, while stressing that the work of the Iraqi committees is continuing with the file of removing the US combat forces from the country.
Al-Sayhoud said in an interview with the agency / Information /, that “the work of the joint committees is not limited to the removal of US combat forces only, but will include other aspects,” noting that “the life of the government will not end without the removal of all foreign forces from the country.”
“There may be disagreement in the way to remove these forces and end the military presence, but the goal is the same and will not be divided,” he said, pointing out that “there are new agreements on ending the foreign presence.”
(What about removing the military presence of Iran?)
“The government must be given the opportunity to prove its presence during the negotiations with Washington through joint committees,” he said, adding that there is “a government move to lift the US sanctions imposed on Iraqi banks.”The economist, Nasser al-Kinani, has confirmed that the number of Iraqi banks affected by US sanctions has reached 26 so far.
(The sanctions only prohibit the sale of the dollar. They can still do business with the dinar and are making money anyhow. Through the sanctions they are trying to reverse the reliance of the banks to make money solely off the point spread of the buying the dollar beyond the CBI official rates. So to comply and take these sanctions off these banks they will have to comply and see the dollar ONLY at the official rate. This is what the CBI and the US wanted all along.)
A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Mueen Al-Kazemi, criticized in an interview with the agency / Information /, “sanctions of the US Federal Bank on Iraqi banks in an attempt to hit the government’s success.
(I luv it how they tie these two issues into one article. Are they trying to tell us that Iraq will pressure the US to relieve these sanctions and in return let them have a longer military presence in Iraq? Sounds like it to me. It's about time Iraq did some real negotiating for their own benefit. Will they, can they also negotiate the release of the reinstatement of the dinar? )
