Escalating Tensions: Iraq Recalls Ambassador to Tehran Amid Rocket Attacks, 16 JAN

 Escalating Tensions: Iraq Recalls Ambassador to Tehran Amid Rocket Attacks, 16 JAN

In a significant diplomatic move, the Iraqi government has recalled its ambassador to Tehran for consultations, in response to the recent Iranian rocket attacks on Erbil. The action marks a notable surge in tensions between Iraq and Iran, with the consequences of the attacks still unfolding.

Recalling the Ambassador

Ambassador Nassir Abdel Mohsen was withdrawn from Tehran following the deadly missile onslaught carried out by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards on Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish region. The strikes, which were aimed at ‘espionage centers’ and anti-Tehran groups in Erbil, resulted in multiple casualties, escalating the situation into an international concern.

Response to Aggression

The recalling of the ambassador reflects Iraq’s disapproval and deep concern over the Iranian military aggression on its territory. The Iraqi authorities have not only condemned the missile strikes but also labeled them as a blatant violation of their sovereignty and a threat to regional security. They plan to take legal measures, including lodging a complaint with the UN Security Council, and publishing findings of an investigation to disprove the allegations.

Implications for the Middle East

This development is likely to cast long shadows on the diplomatic relationship between Iraq and Iran, potentially influencing regional stability and security dynamics in the Middle East. Iran’s defense of the missile strikes as a ‘targeted operation’ and ‘just punishment’ against those who breach its security, indicates the severity of the situation. As Iraq recalls its ambassador for consultations, the international community watches closely, anticipating the potential implications of this escalating conflict.

Missile Strike in Erbil, Iraq: A City Mourns Amid Rising Security Concerns, 16 JAN

 A deadly missile strike in Erbil, Iraq, resulted in the deaths of at least four individuals and left five others injured. The attack, which has been reported by Al Arabiya and Kurdistan 24, remains shrouded in uncertainty regarding the perpetrators or the motive. This incident, occurring in a city that has otherwise maintained relative stability compared to other regions of Iraq, highlights ongoing challenges faced by the country in ensuring citizen safety and maintaining peace.

An Unexpected Strike in Erbil

On an ordinary day in Erbil, a missile struck, causing an explosion near the U.S. consulate and a U.S. military facility. This attack struck fear into the hearts of the Iraqi people, reminding them of the volatile security situation in their country. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed the ballistic missiles were launched in response to terrorist crimes. However, their statement did little to quell the panic and uncertainty that ensued.

Among the casualties was Peshraw Dizayee, a multimillionaire businessman and his family. The strike resulted in four deaths and six injuries, triggering an outpour of grief and anger from the citizens of Erbil. The Iraqi government condemned Iran’s ‘aggression’, stating it would consider filing a complaint at the United Nations Security Council.

U.S. Response and Condemnation

The U.S. State Department denounced the attacks and expressed support for Iraq’s stability. The U.S. officials clarified that the attacks did not affect any of their facilities, and there were no U.S. casualties. However, they conveyed their strong support for the Government of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government’s efforts to meet the aspirations of the Iraqi people.

The U.S. State Department condemned the attacks near Erbil, calling them reckless. The attacks raised concerns about a wider regional escalation due to Israel’s military offensive in the Gaza Strip.

Iran’s Claim and the Aftermath

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for the missile attack on Erbil, targeting ‘spy headquarters’ of anti-Iran groups. This attack resulted in the death of at least four civilians and left 17 injured, causing substantial material damage to residences near Pirmam road.

The IRGC maintained that they had targeted ‘three Mossad bases’ in Erbil, despite the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) denying the presence of Israeli intelligence in the region. Following the attack, Erbil International Airport suspended all inbound and outbound flights, adding to the growing tension and fear in the region.

In the aftermath of the missile attack, the city of Erbil is left to mourn its losses, heal its wounds, and piece together the fragments of a shattered sense of security.

 Walkingstick 

 Movements before they release the lower denoms and new exchange rate we expected to see this... December was to have everything ready in place to go.  January all these systems are being implemented through the monetary reform education. From private banks like the one Aki [Iraqi bank friend] represents to international markets as of today January 15, 2024 they're all international now.  It's what we expected...there's not more to say...because everything now is in print...

 The rate doesn't matter. You're going to trip over you own feet when it finally does float because you're going to be looking for a rate.  Watch the growth of the dinar's value. 

The only thing missing is the lower denoms and the new exchange rate.  Everything else is in position.  

 [Aki - Iraq Bank In US update] 

 AKI:  There are many Iraqi citizens in the United States of American holding 3-zero notes.  It is my job to collect them for the CBI, where they will destroy them.  Our [job] is to turn in the 3-zero notes. 

 WALKINGSTICK: This is huge! 

 AKI:  Agree.  Direct deposit from now on.  No limitations.  Article VIII not only for the citizens but for investors. 

 [Aki - Iraq Bank owner in US update] 

Question:  " The new orders you got on January 1st, are they for you to dispense the lower denoms and collect 3 zero notes?"

  Here in the Untied States we are preparing to do everything with electronic platforms...We are prepared to collect the 3 zero notes from those that wish to exchange them for American dollars...We follow International banking laws, the same laws American banks follow.  Here in the United States the bank that I am in charge of will be all electronic. 

When you ask about the LDs they are only found in Iraq.  We do not possess them.   Iraq will give to the Iraqi citizens, when the time comes, physical lower notes and coins and collect three zero notes...The difference is that here in the US I have to do everything electronic where  my friends in Iraq, their banks can do it electronic or physically if they want the lower denoms and coins in their hands .
