Question presented to Aki - Concerning the statement that was made by a representative of the WTO
[about Iraq launching a fully convertible currency in October
AKI: I didn't hear anything about October...
WALKINGSTICK: I would call it scuttlebutt because the interpreter was telling me that he says he's not sure about that...but he knows there are rumors out there about when this is going to happen.
AKI: I did hear about the WTO guy. Maybe he's talking about a new currency that would be convertible prior to October but there is no mention at the banks about October being the date. If anything I have heard it is before that.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani affirmed, on Tuesday, Iraq’s principled position on the real reasons behind the destabilization, represented by the continued aggression on Gaza. The Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement received by Mawazine News, “Al-Sudani received a phone call late Monday night from US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken,” indicating that “they discussed developments in the region and efforts to support regional and international stability.”
During the call, Al-Sudani renewed “Iraq’s principled position on the real reasons behind the destabilization, represented by the continued aggression on proud Gaza,” stressing “the need for major countries and international organizations to play their full role in stopping the crimes committed against the Palestinian people, and to apply international laws related to perpetrators of crimes against humanity to the aggressors and stop this horrific brutality, in addition to preventing the violation of the sovereignty of the countries of the region.”
According to the statement, he stressed “Iraq’s commitment to preventing any directed action that would lead to a breach of security or expose the advisors of the international coalition to fight ISIS present in Iraq to any danger,” stressing “the continuation of communication between the two sides in order to end the coalition’s missions in Iraq and move to bilateral security relations that serve the interests of enhancing security and stability.”
For his part, the Foreign Minister reviewed “the ongoing diplomatic efforts to stop the escalation, and the commitment of the United States of America to continue consulting with the Iraqi side on regional issues, and supporting the path of strengthening relations and cooperation between the two countries.”
The statement from Iraq's Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani highlights several key points from a recent discussion with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken:
Iraq’s Position on Regional Conflict: Al-Sudani reiterated Iraq's stance against the ongoing violence in Gaza and called for international intervention to halt what he described as crimes against humanity and to uphold international laws.
Protection of Coalition Advisers: Iraq affirmed its commitment to ensuring the safety of international coalition advisers in Iraq. This indicates a focus on maintaining security for these advisers amid broader regional tensions.
Sovereignty and Security: Al-Sudani stressed the need for major countries and international organizations to respect Iraq’s sovereignty and prevent any actions that might lead to a breach of security within its borders.
Future Relations with the U.S.: The discussion also touched on the transition from coalition missions in Iraq to a focus on bilateral security relations, aiming to enhance security and stability in the region.
The call reflects ongoing diplomatic efforts to address both regional conflicts and the specific security concerns related to coalition forces in Iraq.

Joint Operations: We will not allow Iraq to be an arena for any international or regional conflict - Urgent
The Joint Operations Command confirmed, on Tuesday (August 13, 2024), that it will not allow Iraqi lands to become an arena for any international or regional conflict, while indicating that Iraq will not be a starting point for attacking others.
The spokesman for the command, Major General Tahseen Al-Khafaji, said in an interview with "Baghdad Today", "According to the directives of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, Iraq cannot allow itself to be an arena for settling scores and does not accept attacks from within or from without."
He added, "The Iraqi position is clear, which is to prevent it from being used as an arena for any regional or international conflict in any way, and it will not be a starting point for attacking others."
The Iraqi arena has recently witnessed security incidents represented by the bombing of aircraft that the Popular Mobilization Authority said were American, on units in the Jurf al-Sakhar district, north of Babil Governorate, while the Ain al-Assad base in Anbar Governorate was subjected to a missile attack that resulted in injuries among the American forces stationed inside the base.
These developments come in light of the war waged by the Zionist entity against civilians in Gaza, which has been reflected in the rest of the countries that have entered the war against the entity, including Iraq, where armed factions in Iraq announce from time to time the implementation of operations targeting the entity with drones at times and missiles at other times, in addition to participating with the Houthi Ansar Allah in Yemen to carry out these operations.
The world is currently waiting for Iran to respond to the assassination of the head of the political bureau of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, in the heart of the capital, Tehran, but it has not yet implemented the response.
Observers expect that Iran will carry out a devastating strike targeting Tel Aviv in cooperation with the Lebanese Hezbollah, which also vowed to respond to the assassination of the leader Fouad Shukr in Lebanon. link
ANALYSIS:
The statement from the Joint Operations Command, reported on August 13, 2024,
emphasizes Iraq's commitment to maintaining its sovereignty and not allowing its territory to be used for regional or international conflicts.
Major General Tahseen Al-Khafaji, speaking on behalf of the command, stressed that Iraq will not permit itself to be a launchpad for attacks or a battleground for external disputes.
The recent security incidents mentioned include attacks on military bases and tensions related to the broader regional conflicts involving entities like the Popular Mobilization Authority, the American forces in Iraq, and other regional actors.
The command’s position reflects Iraq's broader strategy to avoid becoming embroiled in these conflicts and to maintain its neutrality.
In the context of ongoing regional tensions, including the conflict involving Gaza and the potential reactions from countries like Iran and Hezbollah, Iraq's stance is a bid to prevent its territory from being used as a base for operations related to these broader conflicts.
