Article: "AUSTRIA SEES OPPORTUNITY AS IRAQ RETURNS TO STABILITY"
...Why would a foreign country want to invest in Iraq if they were not truly stable and ready to reinstate back on FOREX? The signs are all around us...
...the dinar, when reinstated, will NOT come out at the low program rate and then float slowly to something we want to see to exchange. Instead, it will be placed back on FOREX and by the time you hear about it, it may very well already be over $4. Remember at some point the IMF will cap it out and let it settle down. I heard this could be at about $9...

I am zero concerned about HCL. Yesterday I do believe the Kurd's issues were resolved officially...
We see some very strong rumblings that HCL is done. We have seen a few articles on it...we are having translated for us...On Friday it was announced on the radio that it was going to be resolved on Sunday and activated...
Intel is hot right now. There were some dotting in the I's and crossing the T's that Sudani needed to do before he came to New York for the United Nations session.
The New York Times has already put out a beautiful article praising him.
Sudani has been in New York...We were told Sudani was scheduled to speak on Friday - Sudani has already spoke...
Last week Sudani had a special meeting that was broadcast across the nation, 1 hour and 24 minutes. He went off on security, stability, exchange rate, water, wheat, deals, about how incredibly well Iraq was doing. Today in a speech we see a mirror image of that...in New York on an international stage...He has let the world leaders know exactly where Iraq is and that they are open for business and they are coming.
The series of American lies and Iraqi Kurdistan oil
It is often said that criticizing America is unfair as it has a solid democratic system, strong institutions, and is a model for the free world. However, those who hold this opinion do not consider the country’s flaws and injustices, while its allies turn a blind eye.
Despite this, America is subject to lies and deceit, including claims made by former American ambassador James Jeffrey, who blamed Iran for disrupting oil exports from Iraqi Kurdistan through Turkey. This accusation is false and shows a biased attitude towards the Iraqi government. Mr. Jeffrey has a history of making false statements and it is possible that he was paid to make them. Evidence shows that it is actually Turkey that is obstructing the exports.
In more detail, Turkey refused to resume exporting Iraqi oil after the delegation from the Iraqi Ministry of Oil visited Ankara in June. Turkish officials cited technical issues with the conveyor pipeline’s condition and its vulnerability to damage from the southwest Turkey earthquake as the reason for their refusal.During the minister’s visit, the Turkish attitude of rejection was again reiterated. Iraqi oil to talk about the same issue on August 20th, 2017.
After that, when the Turkish Foreign Minister visited Baghdad at the end of August, there was a thorough discussion on the subject. Hakan Fidan transmitted Ankara’s prerequisites for resuming the flow of oil from Iraqi Kurdistan through the Turkish pipeline, which included the following requirements:
1- Iraq should revoke the lawsuit it filed against Turkey at the International Court of Arbitration in Paris, where the court ordered the Turkish side to pay $1.5 billion for breaking the law and selling oil without consulting the Baghdad administration.
2- Iraq pays up damages to Turkish firms managing the Iraqi-Turkish pipeline after oil exports were halted.
3- The pipeline is being maintained by the Iraqi side at its own expense because the earthquake that struck Turkey damaged it.
4- payment of $7 to the Turkish side for each barrel of Iraqi oil exported via the Ceyhan port.
If Turkey’s requirements are like this, then who controls this file, Mr. Jeffrey? In addition to other details that show Turkey’s haughtiness and its haggling with Iraq in this economic file, Jeffrey was oblivious to them, perhaps due to reasons related to his practice of blackmail behavior during his diplomatic work. Isn’t the American lying, inventing crises, and blaming Iran and the Baghdad government standard Zionist-American practice for which no one holds you accountable? Who sets the terms and deals with Iraq over the water issue?
It is evident that America is turning a blind eye to terrorist groups, providing them with logistical support and covering up subversive elements operating in Iraq. It is not surprising to learn about this, but what is surprising is the issuance of a statement from an honest American official who presents the truth as it is. The White House government uses many files to blackmail the Iraqi government in order to weaken and thwart its efforts. It is not worth all the trouble to prove the unproven, cheap, false allegations with ill-conceived goals.
