馃寪 Iraq seeks withdrawal of US-led coalition troops by September 2025 BY REDENCION2020 ON TELEGRAM, 26 JULY

 馃寪 Iraq seeks withdrawal of US-led coalition troops by September 2025

Iraq has asked that troops from the US-led military coalition begin withdrawing from the country in September, with the goal of ending the coalition mission by September 2025, according to Al Arabiya, which cited four Iraqi sources.  Talks are underway in Washington this week, but no formal agreement has been reached, Iraqi and U.S. officials said.

In a press conference yesterday, US State Department spokesman Mathew Miller noted that the focus of the talks is on the transition of the coalition's mission based on the Daesh threat, without providing more. details.

The U.S.-led coalition was formed in 2014 to combat the group called “Islamic State,” following the illegal U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003 and subsequent occupation and withdrawal in 2011. Currently, about 2,500 U.S. troops are deployed. stationed at three main bases.  in Iraq, supported by more than 80 coalition members.

The exact number of troops leaving remains uncertain.  Iraqi sources suggest most will leave, while US officials indicate many could stay in an advisory role.  The United States intends to maintain a military presence in Iraq to support operations in Syria, where approximately 900 American troops are illegally stationed.

Iraqi factions aligned with Iran have been pushing for the expulsion of US forces, while US officials seek to counter Iranian influence.  The talks began in January amid rising tensions between Iraqi resistance groups and US forces, exacerbated by the Israeli war against Palestinians in Gaza.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani is under pressure from Iran-aligned factions to expel US forces, but is seeking to balance Baghdad's relations with both Washington and Tehran.  Daesh, despite being territorially defeated in Iraq in 2017 and Syria in 2019, continues to pose a threat, with an increase in attacks in the region, including incidents in Iran, Russia and, most recently, Oman.


From the US State Department press conference 07/22/24

"QUESTION: Was there talk of the presence of US forces in Iraq?

MR MILLER: So I don't want to go into details.  We will have a statement coming out after the meeting.  But we remain committed to the senior military commission process that began in August.  I think, as you know, that process is determining how the coalition's military mission will transition based on the ISIS threat, the operational and environmental requirements, and the capabilities of the Iraqi security forces.  But I don't have any more details to give about that.

QUESTION: And finally, when will the meetings take place?

MR MILLER: I would leave it to the Department of Defence.  They are the real hosts of the meeting.  They're in Washington this week, but as for the specific timing, I'll let them talk about it.

馃寪 Irak busca la retirada de las tropas de la coalici贸n liderada por Estados Unidos para septiembre de 2025


Irak ha pedido que las tropas de la coalici贸n militar liderada por Estados Unidos comiencen a retirarse del pa铆s en septiembre, con el objetivo de poner fin a la misi贸n de la coalici贸n para septiembre de 2025, seg煤n Al Arabiya, que cit贸 a cuatro fuentes iraqu铆es.  Esta semana se est谩n llevando a cabo conversaciones en Washington, pero no se ha alcanzado ning煤n acuerdo formal, dijeron funcionarios iraqu铆es y estadounidenses.


En una rueda de prensa ayer, el portavoz del Departamento de Estado de EE.UU., Mathew Miller, se帽al贸 que el foco de las conversaciones est谩 en la transici贸n de la misi贸n de la coalici贸n en funci贸n de la amenaza de Daesh, sin proporcionar m谩s detalles.


La coalici贸n liderada por Estados Unidos se form贸 en 2014 para combatir al grupo llamado “Estado Isl谩mico”, tras la invasi贸n ilegal de Irak por parte de Estados Unidos en 2003 y la posterior ocupaci贸n y retirada en 2011. Actualmente, alrededor de 2.500 soldados estadounidenses est谩n estacionados en tres bases principales.  en Irak, apoyado por m谩s de 80 miembros de la coalici贸n.


El n煤mero exacto de tropas que saldr谩n sigue siendo incierto.  Fuentes iraqu铆es sugieren que la mayor铆a se marchar谩, mientras que los funcionarios estadounidenses indican que muchos podr铆an quedarse en un papel de asesoramiento.  Estados Unidos pretende mantener una presencia militar en Irak para apoyar las operaciones en Siria, donde aproximadamente 900 soldados estadounidenses est谩n estacionados ilegalmente.


Las facciones iraqu铆es alineadas con Ir谩n han estado presionando para que se expulse a las fuerzas estadounidenses, mientras que los funcionarios estadounidenses buscan contrarrestar la influencia iran铆.  Las conversaciones comenzaron en enero en medio de crecientes tensiones entre los grupos de resistencia iraqu铆es y las fuerzas estadounidenses, exacerbadas por la guerra israel铆 contra los palestinos en Gaza.


El primer ministro Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani est谩 bajo presi贸n de facciones alineadas con Ir谩n para que expulse a las fuerzas estadounidenses, pero busca equilibrar las relaciones de Bagdad tanto con Washington como con Teher谩n.  Daesh, a pesar de haber sido derrotado territorialmente en Irak en 2017 y Siria en 2019, sigue representando una amenaza, con un aumento de ataques en la regi贸n, incluidos incidentes en Ir谩n, Rusia y, m谩s recientemente, Om谩n.


De la conferencia de prensa del Departamento de Estado de EE. UU. 22/07/24

"PREGUNTA: ¿Se habl贸 de la presencia de fuerzas estadounidenses en Irak?

MR MILLER: As铆 que no quiero entrar en detalles.  Tendremos una declaraci贸n que saldr谩 despu茅s de la reuni贸n.  Pero seguimos comprometidos con el proceso de la comisi贸n militar superior que comenz贸 en agosto.  Creo que, como saben, ese proceso consiste en determinar c贸mo har谩 la transici贸n la misi贸n militar de la coalici贸n en funci贸n de la amenaza del ISIS, los requisitos operativos y ambientales y las capacidades de las fuerzas de seguridad iraqu铆es.  Pero no tengo m谩s detalles que dar sobre eso.

PREGUNTA: Y finalmente, ¿cu谩ndo se har谩n las reuniones?

SE脩OR MILLER: Yo lo dejar铆a en manos del Departamento de Defensa.  Ellos son los verdaderos anfitriones de la reuni贸n.  Est谩n esta semana en Washington, pero con respecto al momento espec铆fico, dejar茅 que ellos hablen al respecto.

The World Trade Organization opens its doors to it.. The Iraqi economy returns strongly to international competition


7/22/2024

The World Trade Organization has accelerated Iraq's steps to join it, following the resumption of negotiations that had been suspended for more than 16 years. The Iraqi delegation is preparing for the next round of negotiations that are expected to resolve this issue, which will open up global trade horizons for Iraq and return it to strong economic competition, in the region and the world, under a multilateral economic system.

According to official officials, the government of Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has only addressed all the previous obstacles that prevented Iraq from joining the international organization, as for the first time the import program was voted on, which includes setting controls for chaos and identifying real traders, in addition to other details related to customs tariffs as well as the necessary legislation for it.

 


Economic reform and exchange rate adjustment

 

Economic expert Naji Al-Obaidi, in an interview with Al-Ahd News, believes that Iraq’s accession to the World Trade Organization will
have positive effects, attributing this to the fact that “it will increase pressure on the government to initiate the long-awaited economic reforms.”

Al-Obaidi added that "the World Trade Organization usually intervenes in the exchange rate policy when the concerned country deliberately keeps the value of its local currency low in order to improve the competitiveness of local production and encourage exports at the expense of foreign goods," indicating that "this does not apply to Iraq, where previous governments resorted to raising the exchange rate of the dinar in an artificial and arbitrary manner with the aim of gaining political and popular support."

He pointed out that joining the international organization would contribute to controlling this file.

 

Customs restrictions and agricultural support

In this regard, the financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, stated in an interview with “Al-Ahd News” that Iraq has adopted broad open policies towards the world since 2003 and has sought to establish important economic and legislative rules that operate according to the mechanisms of the market system, most of which have helped improve Iraq’s foreign trade, after an economic blockade that lasted for more than a decade and led to Iraq’s marginalization on the map of the global economic system and deprived it of investment opportunities, progress, development and technological knowledge that should have helped it confront the rapid developments and changes that international markets have witnessed and whose competitive capabilities have changed
dramatically over the past two decades at least.

Saleh pointed out that "the World Organization imposes on the new members of the developing countries group to work under conditions, the first of which is to reduce customs restrictions by 24% and cancel non-customs restrictions for a period of 6 years from the date of joining, and the second is to reduce agricultural support by 13.3% over a period of ten years from joining."

 

Saleh explained that "these regulatory conditions of the World Trade Organization clash with the conditions and situations of the agricultural market and the global food stock exchange itself. If we look at the agricultural monopolies in the world in light of the deterioration of agricultural development in Iraq, we find a real threat to national food security that restricts the country in the event of joining the organization unless it is preceded by starting or following an agricultural program for self-sufficiency immediately. We will really need a green revolution similar to what Mexico and many Latin American countries have done, especially if we know that there are between 3 and 6 major monopolistic companies in the world that control 80 to 90% of agricultural crop trade and control prices and quantities such as wheat, sugar, tea, coffee, cotton and jute, at a time when ten multinational companies still dominate a third of the production and trade of seeds and pesticides in the world."

 

Breaking international isolation

Saleh pointed out that "despite the above, Iraq's entry and integration into the global economic space through the World Trade Organization and its dealings with international groups on terms that apply to everyone from a formal standpoint at a time when the world is still divided between the countries of the North and the South or the countries of the advanced industrial center and the developing periphery, Iraq has no choice but to leave its international isolation that it inherited since the siege and placing Iraq under the burden of Chapter Seven, the effects of which still provide a negative economic environment hostile to development and perhaps obstructing natural integration into the global market."

 

Accelerate joining steps

For his part, Minister of Trade Athir Dawood Al-Ghariri confirmed the resumption of negotiations for Iraq’s accession to the World Trade Organization and the acceleration of its steps, which is a qualitative event and a confirmation of what the government promised through its program to reform the economic situation, considering the private sector an essential part and the backbone of the Iraqi economy.

Al-Ghariri said in a statement followed by "Al-Ahd News" that the fourth round of negotiations will be held during the first quarter of next year, stressing that this acceleration means that the negotiations are proceeding very quickly towards Iraq's accession to the World Trade Organization, considering Iraq an important economic bloc and all countries keen for Iraq to return as an economic player in a multilateral system.

For his part, the Saudi Ambassador to the World Trade Organization, Saqr Abdullah Al-Muqbil, said that there is a positive view that we will find Iraq joining the multilateral trading system as it is one of the largest economies outside this organization, and Al-Muqbil confirmed that "the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has a priority that Iraq's desires to join the organization be fulfilled.

The BRICS UNIT: The Catalyst for a Revolutionary Global Currency Reset BY AWAKE IN 3D, 26 JULY

 The BRICS UNIT: The Catalyst for a Revolutionary Global Currency Reset

After 14 years in the GCR community, I’m more excited than ever about the new BRICS Gold-backed Financial System. 


This could be the game-changer we've been waiting for, leading to a revolutionary RV/GCR. 


Here is the WHY, HOW, and WHEN of this system and its potential to transform our financial future. 


From its foundation and benefits to its impact on global trade, there’s much to explore. 


This is a pivotal moment in our journey towards a stable and transparent global monetary system.


---

WHY, HOW and WHEN the BRICS UNIT leads us to a groundbreaking gold-backed currency reset worldwide.


The new BRICS UNIT is getting a lot of attention these days. Over my 14+ years of being involved in the Global Currency Reset (GCR), the subject has never been more front and center on the world stage than today.


In This Article
  • Understanding the UNIT Currency Initiative
  • Timeline of the BRICS Summit
  • Composition and Backing of the UNIT Currency
  • Benefits for Precious Metals Miners

I have been reporting extensively about the new BRICS Gold-backed Financial System, and for good reason. I now believe that the UNIT System is the definitive model for the GCR and the subsequent revaluation (RV) of global currencies.

I am committed to continuing my in-depth reporting and analysis of the BRICS UNIT System here at GCR Real-Time News. This platform will remain the most comprehensive source of real-world, fact-based RV/GCR news and opinion for my readers worldwide.

While the BRICS UNIT System may not be the final iteration or event of the RV/GCR, it is undoubtedly the catalyst that will offer a completely new currency and cross-border payment/settlement system alternative to the global fiat currency debt system.


is a model that will initiate the eventual global adoption of gold and real assets to back sovereign currencies.


What makes the BRICS UNIT System so compelling is its openness. It is not a closed, inclusive financial system designed only for BRICS Member Nations. It is open to any country, whether a BRICS Alliance Member or not.

It will even work with nations that remain on a pure fiat currency system. This ability to create exchange rate pairs between UNIT and Fiat based currencies is where our RV Currency Exchange opportunities will be realized.


It is expected that the Western G-7 Alliance will resist transitioning to a gold and real asset-based currency system until the last days before the global, US dollar-dominated fiat financial debt system completely implodes and freezes into its inevitable death.

This article is the first of a comprehensive four-part series on the BRICS Gold-backed UNIT Currency System.


Here in Part 1, I will explain the basic foundation and composition of the BRICS Gold-backed UNIT Currency so that you may gain a fundamental understanding of this revolutionary alternative financial system that will change the face of the global monetary system forever.


The UNIT is a significant catalyst for a global currency revaluation (RV), offering a transparent alternative to the fiat currency debt system.

The UNIT system, open to all nations, aims to back sovereign currencies with gold and real assets.

The upcoming BRICS Summit will be pivotal in its adoption, marking a significant shift towards a stable, efficient global monetary framework.


BRICS UNIT Currency Initiative


The BRICS nations are working to enhance economic cooperation by promoting local currencies in international trade.


A key proposal is the UNIT, a gold-backed digital asset operating on a blockchain platform. This initiative aims to provide a stable and reliable medium of exchange, leveraging gold’s intrinsic value and blockchain technology’s efficiency.

BRICS Summit Timeline


A critical decision regarding the UNIT currency will be made at the upcoming BRICS Summit, scheduled for October 22 to 24, 2024, in Kazan, Russia.

The summit will bring together BRICS leaders to discuss the strategic direction and operational aspects of the UNIT, potentially setting the stage for its adoption.


Composition and Backing of the BRICS UNIT


The UNIT currency will be uniquely structured to ensure stability and value. Each UNIT will be backed by a reserve basket composed of 40% gold, with the remaining 60% consisting of participating BRICS currencies, all convertible into gold.

single currency will have a weight greater than 30% in gold terms, ensuring a balanced and diversified reserve. This structure aims to mitigate risks and enhance confidence in the UNIT currency.

Potential Winners from BRICS UNIT Gold Demand


The adoption of the UNIT currency is anticipated to have significant economic implications, particularly benefiting precious metals miners.

Companies listed on the Australian and Canadian stock exchanges, major players in the global precious metals mining industry, stand to gain from the increased demand for gold that the UNIT currency would generate.


UNIT Ecosystem Design


The UNIT currency will be created through a blockchain-based node system.

Participants will mint UNITs by depositing corresponding values of gold and BRICS currencies at these nodes. The ecosystem will rely on decentralized blockchain-based synchronization for integrity, ensuring transparent and secure transactions.

The UNIT is not intended to replace local currencies in domestic transactions but will function alongside them, providing an additional medium for international trade and financial operations.


Transaction Costs


One key advantage of the UNIT currency system is its potential to reduce transaction costs.

Processing fees for transactions on the UNIT blockchain are expected to be lower than those associated with traditional payment systems, such as bank wires.

This cost-efficiency could make the UNIT an attractive option for businesses and financial institutions engaged in cross-border transactions.


Governance and Rules


The UNIT ecosystem’s governance will be structured around a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), supported by a legally recognized international intergovernmental organization (IIO).

Decisions within the IIO will be made through super-majority votes by nodes, ensuring a democratic and transparent governance process.


Currency Eligibility for UNIT


To be eligible for inclusion in the reserve basket backing the UNIT, a currency must have price discovery in gold terms.

This requirement ensures the value of the currencies in the reserve is transparent and reliable. Notably, UNITs will not be redeemable for the underlying reserves directly.

Redemption will only be possible through a buyout procedure conducted by a node, maintaining the reserve system’s stability and integrity.


The Bottom Line


The proposed UNIT currency represents a significant innovation in international finance, combining gold’s stability with blockchain technology’s efficiency. The upcoming BRICS Summit will be a pivotal moment in determining this initiative’s future, with the potential to reshape global trade and financial transactions.

This four-part series will continue to explore the intricacies and implications of the BRICS gold-backed UNIT currency system, offering a comprehensive understanding of this groundbreaking development in global finance.

The BRICS UNIT system is not a closed financial system but is open to any country, including those outside the BRICS alliance and those operating on a fiat currency system.

This inclusivity could lead to opportunities for RV currency exchanges. The Western G-7 Alliance might resist transitioning to a gold and real asset-backed currency system until it becomes unavoidable.

However, the BRICS UNIT system is poised to be a catalyst, initiating the global adoption of gold and real assets to back sovereign currencies.
