   The WTO...you don't have to have a high exchange rate.  But what do you have to have in order to be part of the WTO?  Your currency must be what?  Sanction free.  There must not be any restrictions on your bank or your currency to join the WTO.

  A program rate is not a stable controlled exchange rate.  They are saying things are different now.  They are secure and stable.  We do have international standards established...

  What was the rate the Kuwait dinar came out at in 1999?  It was a ridiculous rate.  They came out huge!  ...I don't care what they [Iraq] comes out at.   What I care about is are you restriction free?  Are you sanction free?  When you went to the UN I know what you did - You're free!

Question: "Is Article VIII needed?"  Article VIII will automatically come on once Article VII is official.  In other words it's the next step that they walk into under the United Nations Security Council.

 I don't care if they come out at 1132.  I don't care if they come out at $0.10.  I don't care if they come out at $0.50.  You think it's going to stay there for long when the world is wanting to pour in?  Whatever the rate is they come out at, in a blink of an eye - bam, you better know when to hold'm and when to fold'm.

Iranian Company Resumes Sewage Network Construction in Shatra, Iraq, After 12-Year Hiatus, 2 OCT

 Iranian Company Resumes Sewage Network Construction in Shatra, Iraq, After 12-Year Hiatus, 2 OCT

After a hiatus of 12 years, the Iranian company, Omar Ab, has resumed construction on a sewage network project in the Shatra district, north of Dhi Qar, Iraq, according to a local official. The project, initially assigned to the Iranian company in 2011, was paused in 2014 due to the war against ISIS. After resuming the project two years ago, the company has faced public dissatisfaction due to slow progress. However, the completion rate of the work has now reached 94% in the stations, though the integral sewage network in the streets of Shatra continues to face delays. 

Overcoming Sanction Hurdles

To bypass the US sanctions imposed on Iran and its companies, the federal government in Baghdad has incorporated an Iraqi partner into the project. The inclusion of a local partner is part of the government’s strategy to pay the company’s dues, thereby circumventing the US sanctions on Iran and its firms. This move underscores the complexities of international politics and the ways in which they can influence local development projects. 

Project’s History and Current Status

The sewage network construction project in Shatra was originally assigned to Omar Ab in 2011. However, the rise of ISIS in 2014 led to a halt in operations. The company finally resumed work two years ago, but progress has been slower than anticipated, leading to public discontent and repeated calls for the contract to be terminated. 

Despite the challenges, the project’s completion rate is currently around 94% in the stations. However, the essential sewage network in the streets of Shatra is still experiencing delays. As per the local official, the slow progress has sparked public discontent, leading to calls for the contract’s termination. 

Implications and Future Outlook

The resumption of this project marks a significant step in infrastructural development for the Shatra district. The successful completion of the sewage network would undoubtedly improve sanitation conditions, thereby enhancing the quality of life for local residents. However, the ongoing delays and slow progress pose a significant challenge to this goal. 

Moreover, the manner in which the government and the company have navigated international sanctions to continue the project provides a fascinating case study in the interplay between international politics and local development. The addition of an Iraqi partner to bypass sanctions demonstrates a strategic approach that could potentially be replicated in other similar contexts.

Operation Against Terror: Successful Air Strikes in Northern Iraq, 2 OCT

 Operation Against Terror: Successful Air Strikes in Northern Iraq, 2 OCT

In an escalating effort to eradicate terror activities that threaten international security, a significant air operation was recently executed in the northern regions of Iraq. The operation was successful in achieving its primary objective – to target and eliminate sites associated with terrorist activities. This event underlines the ongoing global attempts to combat terrorism and neutralize threats to national and international security.

Operation Details and Impact

This air operation meticulously targeted sites associated with terror activities, leading to the successful destruction of these targets. The operation was carried out in the northern regions of Iraq, a location known to harbor various terror groups. The precise location of the operation or the entities responsible for carrying out this operation haven’t been explicitly specified. However, the aftermath of the operation clearly signifies a significant blow to the terrorist organizations operating within the region.

It’s worth noting that, during the operation, the utmost attention and sensitivity were given to the safety of civilian life, property, environment, and the protection of historical, religious, and cultural assets. This operation showcases the commitment to fighting terrorism while upholding the sanctity of innocent lives and preserving cultural heritage.

Global Efforts Against Terrorism

The operation in Iraq is a part of a larger global effort against terrorism. The Combined Joint Task Force Operation Inherent Resolve and its partners, for instance, have been striking ISIS targets in designated parts of Syria and Iraq. Their actions demonstrate that contending with Daesh and other terror groups remains an ongoing international mission. The coalition continuously exerts pressure on senior terrorist leaders and their associates across multiple networks to degrade, disrupt, and dismantle their structures.

In one such instance, between February 2 and February 8, 2018, the coalition conducted 41 strikes consisting of 65 engagements against ISIS terrorists in Syria and Iraq. These ongoing operations underscore the international commitment to defeating terrorism and preventing such groups from regrouping and threatening citizens worldwide.

Terror Organizations and Designations

The Department of State in the United States and several other leading nations have designated various groups as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs). These designations expose and isolate the said organizations, denying them access to the U.S. financial system and creating significant criminal and immigration consequences for their members and supporters. This strategy complements the law enforcement actions of other U.S. agencies and governments.

For instance, the PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party), responsible for a 40-year terror campaign against Turkey that resulted in over 40,000 deaths, is listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States, and the European Union. Similarly, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including its Qods Force (IRGC-QF), was designated as an FTO in 2019. The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and its aliases have also been included in these designations.

Conclusion

The recent successful air operation in northern Iraq is a testament to the relentless global efforts to tackle terrorism. It reinforces the commitment to neutralize threats to national and international security, targeting terror sites while ensuring the safety of civilian life and cultural assets. These operations, along with the strategic designation of FTOs, are crucial tactics in the ongoing global fight against terrorism. As the world continues to witness terror activities, such operations are essential to maintain peace and security.
