Sources: US Secretary of state issues stern warning to Iraqi Prime Minister, 5 AUGUST
Shafaq News/ On Sunday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken delivered a strong warning to Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, according to Iraqi sources. The message addressed concerns over potential escalations by Iran-aligned armed factions targeting US forces in Iraq and the broader region.
The source, in a condition of anonymity, told Shafaq News Agency that during a phone call, Blinken informed the Iraqi Prime Minister that "the US administration is prepared to take any measures necessary to protect its forces and interests and that any escalation by these factions would result in a more severe response than in previous instances."
The source also noted that al-Sudani assured Blinken of his efforts to "prevent any new escalation between the factions and US forces in the coming period. In exchange, al-Sudani requested US assurances against launching new attacks on members of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) and affiliated factions, aiming to maintain control over de-escalation between the two sides."
While al-Sudani's media office did not confirm the US warning, it emphasized that the Prime Minister discussed the importance of halting aggression in Gaza, preventing its expansion into Lebanon, and curbing actions by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Al-Sudani highlighted the need to stop Israeli attacks on regional countries and end violations of international law to prevent further conflict escalation.
In response, Blinken reiterated the US desire for Iraq to play a role in maintaining regional stability and mitigating escalation from all parties, acknowledging Iraq's ongoing efforts to support peace in the region, according to the statement.
The situation in the Middle East has become increasingly tense, with the US deploying warships to defend Israel in the event of Iranian attacks and several Western governments urging their citizens to leave Lebanon. This follows the assassination of Hamas politburo head Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and Hezbollah commander Fouad Shukur in Beirut, with Iran and Hezbollah vowing retaliation.
Concerns are mounting over the potential involvement of the Axis of Resistance, including Islamic resistance factions in Iraq, in strikes against Israel or US interests in the region.
📢 A Step In The Right Direction BY ARIEL, 5 AUGUST

A Step In The Right Direction
There is alot of other factors ar play that will help remove the Deep State control of Venezuela in order for it to thrive. All of this will be initiated once Iraq reinstate their currency and allow the suppression of natural resources to expand. As they can not continue to rely on oil alone.
Things they will need to do include the following.
Transparency & Accountability:
Which involves making government operations more open and visible to the public. It includes measures such as:
• Publishing government budgets and spending reports.
• Implementing freedom of information laws.
• Creating independent oversight committees.
• Establishing clear consequences for corruption or misuse of power.
These steps help citizens understand how their government works and hold officials responsible for their actions.
This will upend the tentacles within this country connected to large business groups tied to Western powers. People do not understand that Venezuela has over 298 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, the largest recognized volume in the world.
The U.S. and its multinational corporations want a big slice of the pie of the gasoline profits, which Venezuela under Chavez and Maduro have refused to give. This is why there was media campaigns in the West to muddy the image of those leaders so the US can create an environment where a coup would be accepted by the average person. This is why they attempt the Operation Gideon a few years ago. Because they knew Nicolas Maduro was going to attempt what he is now doing with the BRICS Nations.
To my Venezuela readers. You need to read this part very carefully.
Quote: "As self-confessed economic hitman John Perkins described decades ago in books, presentations and interviews. When a"recalcitrant" nation fails to play ball with the U.S., it activates its various branches to rein them in - the intelligence agencies, the NGOs, the "jackals" (assassins) and, if all else fails, then the U.S. military itself." End quote.
Do you now understand what you are up against? Your issues in your country have come from external powers. This is why there is movement from Deep State agencies like the CIA to remove N. Maduro and install someone like Edmundo Gonzalez who will yield and allow the continuous abuse of your resources to maintain the poverty in your country.
USD instability hits Iraq; US sanctions impact prompts CBI and finance chief to demand action, 5 AUGUST
Shafaq News/ On Sunday, Parliamentary Finance Committee Head Atwan Al-Atwani and the Central Bank (CBI) Governor highlighted that dollar exchange rate swings are fueling economic instability due to the growing disparity between official and parallel market rates, citing duplicated US sanctions on Iraqi banks.
Al-Atwani, chairing a Committee meeting with CBI Governor Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq, emphasized that "exchange rate stability is crucial for the state,” noting “concerns about duplicated US sanctions on Iraqi and correspondent banks,” urging the CBI “to address the crisis effectively and tighten oversight of private banks to ensure procedural integrity.”
In turn, the Governor detailed the causes of exchange rate fluctuations, explained the electronic platform's role in trade control, and covered the housing initiative, US sanctions on Iraqi banks, and the CBI's foreign currency reserves.
“Our hard currency reserves are adequate to stabilize the market, and the CBI sells over $250 million daily to support foreign trade needs,” Al-Alaq stated, adding, “85% of foreign transfers between Iraqi banks and correspondent banks bypass the US Federal Reserve System."
In addition, he emphasized “the housing initiative's significance,” noting that “the CBI has issued 10 trillion dinars in real estate loans, and is now focusing on financing the construction of 23,000 housing units, prioritizing completed residential complexes.”
In July 2023, the US imposed sanctions on 14 Iraqi banks to restrict dollar transactions, aiming to curb the flow of US currency to Iran. This move has contributed to a surge in the dollar's value against the Iraqi dinar, driven by limited Central Bank policies, inadequate bank integration into the electronic platform, reduced cash injection, and high demand from numerous exchange offices.
