After Saudi Arabia, Iraq ranks second among the five oil-producing countries in the region - Urgent, 5 APRIL
After Saudi Arabia, Iraq ranks second among the five oil-producing countries in the region - Urgent
BP statistics in the last two decades show that the tightening of sanctions against Iran and the increase in Iraqi oil sales have pushed Iraq to assume the position and market of Iranian oil in the region.
When talking about the Iranian economy, oil is considered one of the most important variables that must be examined. This black gold has affected the economy such that with the flood of its sales in global markets, the Iranian economy is witnessing great prosperity, and with the decline of its sales, it is on the path to recession.
Studies have previously pointed out the importance of oil revenues and the difference in oil sales statistics from three reliable sources, and the reason for this difference has been discussed in detail.
Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, and Qatar are leading countries in the oil industry in the region, similar to Iran. Today, if we want to see the performance of Iranian oil sales compared to these countries, we must take a look at the oil sales statistics and examine them carefully.
This report, prepared by the “Aquairan” economic website, reviews Iran’s share of oil sales in the past two decades.
Iraq is at the forefront
Oil statistics provided by British Petroleum (BP) show that since 2004, Iran has become the second oil exporting country among these five oil countries after the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This year, Saudi Arabia’s oil exports reached 6 million and 800 thousand barrels per day, while it reached Iran's exports are 2 million and 700 thousand barrels.
At that time, Iraq was the fourth largest oil exporter among these countries and sold only 1.5 million barrels of oil per day.
Over time, Iran continued to maintain its position among these five countries until 2011, but Iraq's exports did not remain constant as was the case in Iran, but rather rose to reach 2 million and 400 barrels of oil per day.
In 2011, with the beginning of the series of oil sanctions on Iran, Iranian oil sales suddenly suffered a severe blow, and this blow continued, even after the nuclear agreement in 2015, as Iraq ranked second in the region and Iran fell to fourth.
The positive impact of the JCPOA on the Iranian oil market contributed to Iran’s oil export position rising by one point among the five countries and reaching third place in 2017, but this success was short-lived. With Trump's accession to American power and his withdrawal from the nuclear agreement, as well as the beginning of the Corona pandemic, Iran declined again in 2021, and ranked third with a daily export of 1.9 million barrels.
This comes at a time when, in that year, Iraq exported 3.4 million barrels of oil per day and ranked second after Saudi Arabia among the five oil-producing countries in the region.
The increase in Iraq's oil sales and the tightening of oil sanctions on Iran in these two decades caused a change in the position of Iran and Iraq in oil sales, and Iraq was able to seize second place. link

Sudani's visit to Washington. Iraqi insistence on removing the occupier, 5 APRIL
Sudani's visit to Washington. Iraqi insistence on removing the occupier
Information / Baghdad...
Amid assurances that there is an active and serious move by the government and its negotiating delegation with the so-called international coalition to end its presence in Iraq, the Iraqis insist on removing these forces or returning to resisting the American occupier.
The visit of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani to Washington may be a gateway to ending the US combat presence in Iraq or it may fail if Washington insists on keeping its forces on Iraqi soil, which will give the green light to the Islamic resistance to Resume its operation against the foreign occupier.
In order to explain the most important files that the Sudanese will carry with him to Washington, MP for the Sadiqoun bloc, Muhammad Karim, says that "the prime minister will discuss the file of arming the army, and the development of Iraq's air defenses, In addition to the file of removing the US combat forces.
Karim added that "America will try to impose some files during the next visit, while the governments enjoy political and parliamentary support in moving towards making fateful decisions during the negotiating round, which will begin in the middle of next month, although the government has come a long way in negotiations through the joint committees formed by the two parties."
On the other hand, former MP Ahmed Ali stressed that "the attacks carried out by America on the headquarters of the Iraqi factions represent a violation of the agreement between Baghdad and Washington."
He told Al-Maalouma that "the factions announced their commitment to government decisions to resort to a diplomatic solution to remove US forces."
He pointed out that "the government is past in the file of the exit of Americans from Iraq, and the visit of the Sudanese has put this file among the priorities in the talks that will be held with Biden."
In the same context, Hussein al-Karawi, head of the organizing body of the popular movement for the Belt and Road, said that "the experience with America confirms that its forces will not leave Iraq peacefully.
Al-Karawi told Al-Maalouma that "Washington seeks not to empty the Iraqi arena of the military presence of its forces, so these forces will not leave Iraq without the resistance carrying out jihadist actions to end their presence on Iraqi territory and force them to leave."
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said he wanted a "quick and ordered exit" of the US-led international coalition forces from Iraq amid mounting demands that US forces do not remain in Iraq.
"Let's agree on a time frame (for withdrawal) that is quick so as not to prolong the existence and the attacks continue," al-Sudani said in an earlier interview with Reuters news agency, noting that the only way to avoid a regional escalation is to stop the war in Gaza.

WHERE ARE WE NOW???
Now on to the info: Pretty powerful, our number one guy found out that T3 BH started and he should get an email sometime tomorrow about where they are, what's going on, and liquidity. A premier called this guy out and said the activity in Reno is off the charts. and they have tightened security because those in Reno are doing the KYC and they are adding security to speed up this process and it is very, very significant. And another person called and said, and another high-level contact said, "This is RIGHT ABOVE US." You have to understand that we have contacts in the bonus space and it's like you're sitting in front of a computer screen like you're a senior executive watching.
every step and what they are telling us, so Sue thanks this man number one, who allows a fire hose to pass through him. We finally heard that we should be a couple of days away. This is Sue talking to this guy, a friend and very high-level executive who she's known for a long time and trusts to give her very accurate information interested in her well-being. and giving us information from the West Coast. And we also had a discussion to get confirmation that there was talk of asset backing and that should happen this weekend, but we don't have the third confirmation of that yet.
Also, someone traveling in a camper contacted this guy and said, "WE ARE INCREDIBLY CLOSE." Also an important person from RC since the appointments were "pending" for today and Sue asked her boy; It hasn't been said, but the Reno people and Bonds are still finishing up with additional security and we should be next. So keep your eyes on your emails, which are supposed to arrive in the next 24 to 38 hours, Friday and Saturday.
Sue says she focuses on Friday and Saturday and maybe Monday through Tuesday. Tell yourself you see the 800 and everyone gets it and we're next. And that little extra time you've given yourself a little extra time but you're moving forward and imagine what that's going to feel like and all of humanity feeling this and coming out of this journey. So let's keep that vision and stay strong. It all depends on you being in good health –
So please continue to pray those prayers wholeheartedly and with deepest sincerity because you know how much the whole world so urgently needs this Heavenly Blessing.
