Another objective Yellen hasn’t achieved is to create enough inflation. It is Read the full story

"Some people are trying to buy sacrifices for political and electoral purposes, and to raise differences at this time is only in the interest of a fanatic," he said.
"The situation of Syria is different from us and we are dealing with a government authority on the second side and I can not deal with militias or armed groups, but with a state," he said.

Al-Abbadi promised to generate electricity now "good and despite the extreme heat we are still in the processing of energy despite the difficulties in providing fuel to stop oil refineries such as Baiji refinery and the other in Nineveh, noting that the import of oil derivatives cost expensive."
"We have important meetings with the IMF and the World Bank to help Iraq," he said, calling on the international community to participate in the reconstruction of what was destroyed by Dahesh.

Iraqi PM congratulates troops on ‘big victory’ in Mosul
5:10 p.m. ET July 4, 2017 (The Detroit News)

Mosul, Iraq — Iraq’s prime minister on Tuesday congratulated his fighters on “this big victory in Mosul” — even as fighting with Islamic State militants continued in Mosul’s Old City neighborhood where Iraqi forces are about 250 meters from the Tigris River and facing increasingly brutal resistance.
Haider al-Abadi spoke during a news conference in Baghdad, less than a week after he declared an end to IS’ self-styled caliphate after Iraqi forces achieved an incremental win by retaking the landmark al-Nuri Mosque in the Old City.
“Praise be to God, we managed to liberate (Mosul) and proved the others were wrong, the people of Mosul supported and stood with our security forces against terrorism,” al-Abadi said.
His remarks came on the third anniversary of IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s sermon at the al-Nuri Mosque, from where he declared an Islamic caliphate on IS-held lands in Syria and Iraq.
Also during the news conference, al-Abadi added that he has given instructions to rebuild and stabilize areas of the city already freed from the militant group.
Lt. Gen. Abdel Ghani al-Asadi, of Iraq’s special forces, said earlier in the day that Iraqi forces are just 250 meters (yards) from the Tigris River, in the western half of Mosul. The Tigris divides the city roughly into its western and eastern half, which was liberated from IS militants back in January.
IS militants who remain trapped in just a few hundred meters of territory in the Old City are now in a “fight to the death,” al-Asadi said, adding that IS fighters are increasingly resorting to suicide bombings and that he expects the fighting to get even heavier as they are pushed closer to the river.
Iraqi forces marked a significant victory this week when the Rapid Response Division retook Mosul’s main hospital complex on the city’s western side.The building that once held the city’s best medical facilities now sits devastated by the fight. For weeks, a handful of IS snipers perched in the main hospital’s top floors held back hundreds of Iraqi forces.
Iraqi forces launched the operation to retake Mosul, the country’s second largest city, in October. IS overran Mosul in a matter of days in 2014. At the height of the extremists’ power, they held nearly a third of Iraq.
