America and its never-ending theatrical chapters in Iraq.

America and its never-ending theatrical chapters in Iraq.Ibrahim Mahjoub
It is no secret to anyone today that Iraq, after the US occupation in 2003, has become an unstable country dominated by chaos and instability as a result of the state’s inability to impose the rule of law on everyone, and the official names and titles of many people who have wide financial influence and strong authority have become unconstitutional to rule the country….
From time to time, the US State Department appears to us through the US Embassy in Baghdad or the official spokesperson for the White House with a new theatrical chapter showing us that the White House is very concerned about what is happening in Iraq, as if the Iraqi issue concerns them more than the internal affairs in the United States of America…
The White House is accustomed to skits, especially after the new world order, whose decision was unique to America alone, and the scales differed on the other side of the world after the dissolution of the former Soviet Union, and American arrogance became clear and public with its strong desire to control all the wealth of the countries of the world, either through force and weapons or through The way of thought and the use of imposing a fait accompli of politics on the governments of peaceful countries or by spreading ideas and values that are contrary to the heavenly laws, as well as what it is doing today and publicly in its blatant interference with the prices of buying and selling oil as if it is the heavenly guardian of those oil-producing countries….
Today we hear from the talk of the street that there is a new intervention by the United States through the deployment of its military forces in many locations inside and outside the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, as well as the deployment of many of these forces on the borders adjacent to some of Iraq’s neighboring countries. No. The official Iraqi position and the official media deny this, but the recent statements of the ambassador The American forces are deploying new forces in the American bases present on the ground in Iraq, and it was found that they did not leave Iraqi territory except through false news in the media loyal to the White House.
The logical analysis of such false statements aims to sow unrest within the Iraqi street and destabilize the security situation, especially after the existing and clear stability in the Iraqi street in all Iraqi provinces and cities, which had the obvious effect of restoring national cohesion and bringing Iraq back to the Arab ranks after many Arab brothers restored Their brotherly and diplomatic relations with Iraq, and this news is certainly not in the interest of the United States and the countries loyal to it.. Likewise, the countries that have come to view the Iraqi state as a weak, helpless and paralyzed state from all sides and not ready to defend themselves and claim their rights…
On the other hand, the Iraqi people have become accustomed to hearing such farces and theatrical episodes from time to time, as well as the news that spreads media propaganda that there is a change in the political reality in Iraq, and its purpose is to demand a renewal of allegiance to the ruling political system in Iraq and to renew its dependence on the capitalist system led by the United States of America…
Successive governments in America have become accustomed to creating chaos in Iraq by publishing fabricated news, and after a few days or weeks, we notice the deployment of some of its military forces in some Iraqi cities, and its goal has always been to put the ruling political classes in a very embarrassing position in front of the Iraqi people, who have lost their credibility with their central government, as well as with dealings With the so-called lame American democracy, when will this people wake up to themselves, and when will American diplomacy stop continuing lies, propaganda, and its foreign interventions in the Iraqi issue, just as it began by fighting and changing the previous regime under the pretext of Iraq’s possession of chemical and biological weapons, which have proven to the whole world that they do not exist at all, and that they are nothing but a joke made by the CIA? The US at the time, which is still making things like this, even with the existence of the new Iraqi political system, for which the Iraqi people are certainly paying the price alone…….

WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP OF CENTRAL SALES OF CURRENCY WITH THE EXCHANGE RATE OF THE DOLLAR? AN EXPERT CLARIFIES AND ACCUSES OF “BLACK MONEY TRANSFERS”
The Central Bank of Iraq’s sales in the hard currency auction witnessed a fluctuation between high and low, amid a state of panic in the local markets, following the continued rise in the exchange rates of the dollar, and the decline in the value of the Iraqi dinar.
Today, Thursday (August 17, 2023), the Central Bank of Iraq’s sales in the “dollar” currency auction amounted to about 192 million dollars, while yesterday, Wednesday, it amounted to (193,716,083) million, and last Tuesday it reached (183,890,982) million, and last Monday the bank sold (201,236,671) million. , which indicates a clear increase and decrease in sales.
Central sales and exchange rates
Today, Thursday (August 17, 2023), the expert in financial and banking affairs, Nasser Al-Kinani, explains the impact of the decrease and increase in the Central Bank’s sales on the dollar prices in the local market.
Al-Kinani told “Baghdad Today” that “the decline and rise in sales of the central bank certainly has a significant and direct impact on the exchange rate of the dollar in the local market,” adding, “But this decrease or rise does not affect if it is for a few days, because it depends on continuity.” rise or fall.”
The parallel market and black transfers
And the expert in financial affairs indicates that, “The problem of the high exchange rate of the dollar in the parallel market has nothing to do with the issue of the central bank’s daily sales percentage, but rather this matter has to do with the continuation of sending black remittances outside Iraq.”
And he stresses that “without stopping these transfers and finding solutions to this problem, it is not possible to control the exchange rate of the dollar in the parallel market.”
And experts in the financial affairs point out that the banks affiliated with the political parties are behind the dollar crisis in Iraq, stressing that they are working “black transfers” and some illegal banking moves.
Experts explain that the “political protection” of some of these banks is a reason why they are not held accountable by the competent Iraqi authorities, noting that US sanctions are imposed on them, to prevent “misuse of the dollar . “
And in the event that these banks continue to operate outside international standards, this means, according to the specialists, “the imposition of new US sanctions on new banks during the next stage.”
Earlier, Prime Minister Muhammad Shia al-Sudani revealed the details of the dollar crisis, which he described as a “battle”, announcing at the same time the arrest of a network of “major speculators” linked to speculators in the Kurdistan region .
