STATUS OF THE RV, PART 1. BY MNT GOAT
STATUS OF THE RV
I hope all you fathers had a wonderful Father’s Day over the weekend in the USA. I am a bit late in providing this news to you because I felt I needed to first talk to my CBI contact to learn what is really going on in the middle east and in particular Iraq. It is so difficult to trust the major news media stream these days.
If you remember at about this time last month, the United States presented Iran with multiple written proposals for a nuclear agreement. Please see the numerous articles on this subject matter in my prior Newsletter dated 6/12 –
“REGARDING THE NUCLEAR AGREEMENT, THE UNITED STATES SUBMITS A “WRITTEN PROPOSAL” TO IRAN.” and “DURING A GULF TOUR WHERE HE GARNERED TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN INVESTMENTS, TRUMP HINTED AT A NEAR-TERM NUCLEAR DEAL WITH IRAN.” So what the hell happened?
I do not know what really happened to a deal that was in the making and in the process of being accepted, as told to us in the news article titled “TOP IRANIAN OFFICIAL SAYS TEHRAN WOULD FORGO HIGHLY ENRICHED URANIUM IN NUCLEAR DEAL WITH TRUMP” by Richard Engel. I think perhaps it was a ploy just to get sanctions lifted, if even for a short period of time.
The news from Iran told us and I quote “Iran is ready to sign a nuclear deal with certain conditions with President Donald Trump in exchange for lifting economic sanctions”, a top adviser to Iran’s supreme leader told NBC News last Wednesday.” So, the Iranian deception did not work. The U.S. did not fall for it.
At this time last month, the fourth round of negotiations was then taking place. So, we all should know by now that the negotiations failed for some reason. I am being told that they failed because the Iranians lied about their intent of the use of the enriched uranium.
The U.S. actually offered to build the four (4) nuclear power plants (they claimed they wanted the nuclear capability for) and also to even provide the fuel for them, if only they would dismantle these sites being used for enrichment. Of course, this would mean future ongoing access to the power plants by U.S. inspectors and close monitoring. Then secret documents were exposed revealing something entirely different and the deal all fell apart.

Planning: Iraq's Near-Total Dependence On The Oil Sector Is A Fragile Model That Must Be Abandoned.
Planning: Iraq's Near-Total Dependence On The Oil Sector Is A Fragile Model That Must Be Abandoned.
Energy and Business Iraq oil Basra 2025-06-17 02:36 Shafaq News/ On Tuesday, Sabah Jundi Mansour, Director General of the Economic and Financial Policies Department at the Ministry of Planning, considered Iraq's near-total reliance on the oil sector to secure the country's general budget revenues a fragile model that requires an alternative.
This came in a speech he delivered during a specialized consultative session organized by the Ministry of Planning titled "Maximizing Non-Oil Revenues in Iraq,"
as part of the government's efforts to address financial challenges and reduce reliance on oil resources, which constitute one of the most prominent structural challenges hindering the country's path to sustainable development.
Mansour explained that Iraq's near-total dependence on the oil sector, which accounts for more than 90% of general budget revenues, is one of the most significant structural challenges facing the national economy.
He added, "Recurring crises in the oil markets, particularly in recent years, have exposed the fragility of this model, necessitating an urgent transition to a more diversified and sustainable economic model."
The Iraqi state's continued reliance on oil as the sole source of its public budget
exposes the country to the risk of global crises linked to oil markets.
This forces it to cover its deficit through external or domestic borrowing each time.
This indicates
a weakness in the management of public funds and
an inability to find alternative financing solutions.
