Baghdad confirms to the UN that it is able to ensure security
Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The Iraqi Minister of Interior, Abdul Amir Al-Shammari, confirmed on Thursday that the security forces can ensure security and confront any challenge.
Al-Shammari’s statement took place during his meeting with the representative of the UN secretary-general, Volker Peretz, where they discussed the role of the United Nations Mission in Iraq (UNAMI) and cooperation between the two sides, according to a statement cited by the Iraqi News Agency (INA).
The Iraqi Interior Minister made it clear that the security forces are always evolving and that the Ministry of Interior is making every effort to serve the people to the best of its ability.
The Iraqi official also demonstrated how well border controls, the fight against drugs and crime, and human rights are being upheld.
Al-Shammari’s remarks follow condemnation expressed by the Iraqi government of the strikes carried out by US forces against sites belonging to the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) in Jurf Al-Nasr in Babylon governorate.
The spokesperson of the Iraqi government, Basem Al-Awadi, mentioned in a statement on Wednesday that the Iraqi government considers the recent escalation a dangerous step involving an unacceptable violation of Iraqi sovereignty.
“We strongly condemn the attack that targeted the Jurf Al-Nasr area, which took place without the knowledge of the Iraqi government,” Al-Awadi explained.
At least five people were killed in the early hours of Wednesday after PMF sites southwest of Baghdad were targeted by air strikes carried out by US forces.
US Central Command forces carried out separate and precise strikes on two facilities in Iraq, according to a statement released by the US Army.
The US Army added that the strikes were a direct response to attacks on American and coalition forces by Iran and groups supported by Tehran.
The Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary, Sabrina Singh, said in a press briefing last week that US forces in Syria and Iraq have been targeted in 55 attacks since October 17.
“There have been 27 attacks against US forces in Iraq and 28 attacks in Syria,” Singh explained.
Singh illustrated that 59 US personnel have received injuries since these attacks began.
The increase in attacks on US forces is linked to the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, which began after the Palestinian movement carried out a surprise cross-border attack from Gaza on October 7, which, according to the Israeli authorities, killed about 1,400 people.
Following the attack, the United States rushed to provide military support to Israel, which has since launched a relentless air, land, and sea assault on Hamas-controlled Gaza.
About 2,500 American soldiers are deployed in Iraq, providing advisory missions to their Iraqi counterparts as part of the fight against ISIS, while about 900 American soldiers are deployed in Syria.

Diversify Foreign Currency Sources to Curb Dollar Dominance, Urges Atwan Al-Atwani, 24 NOV
Diversify Foreign Currency Sources to Curb Dollar Dominance, Urges Atwan Al-Atwani
In a significant turn of events, Atwan Al-Atwani, the head of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, asserted the need for diversifying foreign currency sources in commercial transactions. The move is deemed critical in tackling the escalating demand for the US dollar. Al-Atwani lauded the Central Bank of Iraq for its monumental strides in stabilizing the market, curbing the dominance of the US dollar, and bolstering the Iraqi dinar’s role in international trade.
Addressing Dollar Dominance
Al-Atwani underscored the importance of this approach as a comprehensive solution and a well-considered strategy to pave new avenues. These avenues are expected to ensure the smooth execution of commercial transactions on multiple levels. The primary objective, he pointed out, is to reduce the overwhelming reliance on the US dollar and promote the use of other viable currencies in international trade.
Supporting the Central Bank of Iraq
Reiterating his full support for the Central Bank of Iraq, Al-Atwani was positive about the bank’s consistent steps towards rolling out realistic solutions for the crisis. The bank’s initiatives are aimed at reinforcing the Iraqi dinar’s position in global trade and reducing the market’s dependency on the US dollar.

"RV UPDATE" BY MILITIAMAN, 24 NOV
Militia Man
What's the exchange rate crisis? It's been at 1310 since the early part of 2023. They devalued to 1460 then they adjusted it by 10%. What's not good about that? What did it prove? That adjustment the World Bank was talking about of 10.3% is actually a positive sign because what did it do? It staved off inflation...There's some positive aspects to some of these things...Revaluations happen. They need to be tested.
Article: "Alaq says the rise in the exchange rate in his time and the project to delete the zeros still exists" When was that? July 26, 2023. The plan is still underway, hasn't changed. It's a dynamic and fluid circumstance. We had the Bank of International Settlements come out and talk about highly complex financial transactions ...shocks, warning people...we can see there's some fireworks going on...in the background.
We're hoping Iraq will show us they have Article VIII compliance any time now. Let's see what happens...
Article [via MeetMeOnline] quote:
"Easing of global commodity prices, the revaluation of the dinar, the continued price subsidies are projected to keep inflation in check..."
This is coming from the World Bank...price subsidies are projected to keep inflation in check because of why? Because of the revaluation of the dinar...The World Bank are the ones talking about the revaluation of the dinar and the revaluation will help facilitate [many things] ...
Article quote: "Many countries in the region and the world have expressed a great desire to participate in this project [Iraq's Development Road Project] especially since it will be the most appropriate, shortest, least expensive way to transport goods between the continents of Asia and Europe"
It's going to be a major hub of the globe and you're thinking that Iraq can't ever revalue their currency? I think that is just flat-out silly. To think that it's not going to ever happen...the news speaks for itself...
