Iraqi Leaders Unite: A Solidarity Stand for Palestine, 7 OCT

 Iraqi Leaders Unite: A Solidarity Stand for Palestine

In an unprecedented move, the leaders of the ‘coordination framework’ in Iraq have come together to express their unanimous support for Palestine. Among the leaders are notable figures such as Al-Maliki, Haydar Al-Abadi, Qais Khazali, Abdel Aziz Al-Hakim, and Hadi Al-Amiri.

A United Front for Palestine

The coordination framework is an amalgamation of influential political figures from various Iraqi factions. It was established with the intention of addressing national interests and regional affairs. The collective voice of this framework carries significant weight in the Iraqi political landscape. Their agreement to stand united in their support for Palestine underscores the solidarity and shared commitment to the Palestinian cause within the Iraqi leadership.

While the specifics of their support were not detailed, the development highlights the importance of the Palestinian issue in the region and the readiness of Iraqi leaders to present a unified front. The implications of this unanimous support could have far-reaching effects on the broader regional dynamics and the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

A Meeting of Minds

Adding to the significance of this development, Ziad al-Nakhala, the Secretary-General of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, recently visited Iraq. During his visit, he met with Iraqi President Abdullatif Jamal Rashid and Prime Minister Mohammad Shia al-Sudani. The discussions revolved around the Palestinian issue, Israel’s practices, and the necessity for Palestinian unity.

The Iraqi leaders expressed their support for the Palestinian cause and their readiness to stand against Zionist aggression. This high-profile meeting further solidified the Iraqi leaders’ commitment to Palestine and underlined the significance of the Palestinian issue in regional affairs.

Implications of the Unanimous Support

The unanimous support for Palestine from Iraq’s leading political figures could have significant implications for the region and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It sends a strong message of solidarity and unity, possibly influencing other nations in the region to take a stauncher stance on the issue.

Moreover, it could potentially shift regional dynamics, sparking further dialogues and negotiations for the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. However, the precise impact remains to be seen as the situation unfolds.

Looking Ahead

This development signifies a significant step in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It emphasizes the importance of the Palestinian issue in the region and encourages a unified approach towards its resolution. The unanimous support from these influential Iraqi figures may well serve as a catalyst for change in the broader regional dynamics.

 Sudani went and told all the contractors he signed with, they can come into Iraq without any restrictions. 

 That's Article VIII...You are a sovereign country.  You can do whatever the hell you want to do with your currency and exchange rate. 

It [the dinar] will be introduced internationally.  I don't care if it stays at 1132 as long as it's international. 

 What is that definition

 Restrictions free...The next step of the Iraqi dinar should be coming out... International equals a new exchange rate.  

[Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  

 FIREFLY:  They are saying within two weeks it will be the first step of the electronic transfer formation. 

 FRANK:  In two weeks they told Iraqi citizens they will be the first step of the electronic transfer formation?  Which started on the 28th of last month?  So what are your intentions in two weeks CBI?  What are you sending across your border internationally? 

 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]


FIREFLY:  We are celebrating our independence and being a sovereign country...Sudani...talking about how we will not allow others to rule over us... 

 FRANK:  Congratulations...your country is now
restriction free...You are a sovereign country...Your country is secure and stable...These are the two magic words Dr. Shabibi the author of your monetary reform plan wanted before he released the new exchange rate and new currency.

 We see the evidence of the financial international transactions on the 28th.  We see the private banks opening with Aki [Guru Walkingsticks Iraq bank friend in the US- October 1st].  We see Independence Day [Tuesday October 3rd].  

The only thing we're not seeing is the HCL.  Why?  Let me ask you something.  Did they release the new exchange rate?  No.  What did I tell you?  The moment you see the HCL in the next nanosecond you will see the new exchange rate...

Iran Urges Iraq to Implement Security Pact, Reveals Regional Tensions, 7 OCT

Iran Urges Iraq to Implement Security Pact, Reveals Regional Tensions

Iran’s highest-ranking military officer has issued a call to arms, urging Iraq to enforce a security pact signed earlier this year in March. The agreement, crafted with an eye towards regional stability, calls for the disarmament of groups within Iraq that have been deemed anti-Iran. The general’s plea underscores Iran’s growing concerns about potential security threats emanating from Iraq, and the expectation that Iraq will take more decisive action to address these concerns. This unfolding situation has far-reaching implications for the relationship between the two countries and the broader regional dynamics.

Understanding the Security Pact

The security pact, signed between Iran and Iraq, aims to disarm groups within Iraq that operate against Iran. Iran has long accused the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) of providing a safe haven for opposition groups, labelling them as ‘terrorist’ or ‘anti-revolutionary’. These groups, according to Iran, use border regions as launching pads for strikes against Iran.

Overseeing the implementation of the security pact is Iraq’s National Security Advisor, Qasim al-Araji, who leads a high-level security delegation tasked with visiting the Kurdistan autonomous region. The urgency of the issue is further underlined by a warning from Iranian Defense Minister, Mohammad Reza Ashtiani, stating that Tehran will not extend the disarmament deadline and may resort to military action if the terms of the agreement are not met by Iraq.

Unpacking the Regional Dynamics

This development is set against a backdrop of complex regional dynamics. Iran’s call for the enforcement of the security pact is not simply a bilateral issue between Iran and Iraq; it’s a matter that has the potential to influence the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East. The presence of anti-Iran groups in Iraq poses a significant threat to Iran’s national security and stability. The successful implementation of the pact could lead to a more secure region, which could, in turn, favour diplomatic relations and economic growth.

Future Ramifications

The enforcement of the security pact has the potential to significantly alter the regional dynamics in the Middle East. If Iraq successfully disarms the anti-Iran groups, it could lead to a reduction in cross-border incidents, fostering a more stable environment. However, if Iraq fails to meet the terms of the agreement, it could lead to a deterioration in Iran-Iraq relations and potentially escalate the conflict, with Iran threatening military action. This could further destabilize the region and have implications for international relations as well.

A Call to Action

In the end, Iran’s call for the enforcement of the security pact is a plea for stability and security in a region often plagued by conflict. The successful implementation of this pact could be a step towards deescalating tensions and fostering a more peaceful Middle East. However, the failure to do so could have grave consequences not just for Iran and Iraq, but for the broader region as well.

"RV UPDATE" BY MARKZ, 7 OCT

 MarkZ  

…no update yet...from redemption center folks...as to whether they expect to work this weekend. I have been hitting a brick wall…their phones seem to be turned off…. I don’t know if that is a great thing or a coincidence. Yesterday a number of them told me they are on “stand by” specifically for currency exchanges. I think this is huge.   Let’s see if something comes of it.

More chatter on the Iraqi side of things with great expectations for the weekend. Most are looking Late Saturday/early Sunday for something from Iraq. Some type of announcement?

 A lot of my sources feel that Monday is our day…A lot of them …actually...think our day is before that and Monday is when we start going to the bank! 

 They are all expecting big things this weekend. I am hesitant to say if it’s a “go” or “not a go” just yet.   But I am excited about the potential. There is nothing negative at all.

...From the banking side (I got this from a couple different sources) So from bankers in different states…They were told they are officially on “STAND BY”...

 We have not seen that in a very, very long time…and  I have never gotten it from multiple states in different areas that are un-related…AND, these are from different top-tier banks.  So this is something going out from multiple banks…in multiple states. 

  “Iraq asked for $1 Billion in cash and this time Washington said no”  This is from the WSJ. Iraq is between a rock and a hard spot for foreign currency…. 

They are not yet fully internationally recognized. There are still some sanctions and controls there. Going fully international with a rate change would fix their woes. Iraq has everything at stake for this revaluation.

 Question:  Any news on Iraq and the WTO?  MarkZ:   When I find out – I will tell you. I think this is a big “tell” they are trying to keep from us. If they let this news out before they are ready for us…it would be a mad dash for everyone to buy Iraqi dinar…It would be a clear signal of a changing rate…so my guess is they have already been accepted and are waiting to announce the value…that is my best guess.

 We are hearing some conflicting opinions that we need the house of representatives to be back with a new speaker of the house  to remove the remaining sanctions on Iraq. It is my understanding the bill is already at the senate and it could happen at any time.
