The US government has estimated that Israel "is likely to be involved in the attacks north of Baghdad last month," referring to attacks on the PMU's headquarters and weapons stores in Iraq, which are further complicating the US relationship with Baghdad. A US official told CNN.
These are the first attacks Israel has been engaged in in Iraq in decades, targeting the PMU.
The United States refused to formally declare whether Israel was involved, but denied any responsibility for the strike, saying Iraq's sovereignty must be respected.
The Saqr camp belonging to the Popular Mobilization Brigade, south of Baghdad, was hit by a large explosion in an armory inside two weeks ago.
The PMF accused Israel and the United States of bombing the headquarters with drones or guided missiles, but there is no definitive official evidence to indict Israel in international organizations.
The Iraqi government rejected the US accusation of bombing the Popular Mobilization Camps, but at the same time banned any foreign flights flying in Iraqi airspace without the permission of the commander in chief of the armed forces.

8-25-2019   Newshound Guru Kaperoni   We do not want them to delete the zeros, because that's a LOP. What we do want is for the rate to increase.  And the only reasonable means to accomplish that is via a float allowing the dinar to rise as investment comes into Iraq.  Anything else does not benefit us. ...You cannot significantly RV the dinar with excess of 42 trillion in circulation unless you can significantly reduce the money supply first.  Hard to do unless gradual. ...We don't want a redenomination/LOP. Those are neutral events.  It's current rate is its real value. Unless they float the currency and let market forces set the rate.  
 
8-24-2019  Intel Guru Frank  ...It used to be $3.22.  Back in 2006 they calculated 3.2618...the Minister of Finance told them you should add 20% to that which would take you somewhere around 3.86 mark roughly...

But these days are about to be over.

8-24-2019   Newshound/Intel Guru Dinar Investor - Jeff   Article:  "Baghdad and Kurdistan agree on partnership in international conferences and meetings"  When you look at a lot of the current articles coming out between Kurdistan and Baghdad, they're strongly suggesting/indicating that the Kurds and Baghdad have reached an agreement, just not publicly announced it.  So, ultimately that's what we are waiting for...to publicly announce it...that they have agreed ...and that they have everything worked out on the oil and Article 140 for the numbers in the 2020 budget...and then after that to know if the stage is officially set, we want to see what their next actions are...do they advance straight to the formation of the government or do they do something directly after that.  That's what we are looking for to know if the stage is officially set based on how fast they advance to the formation of the government.  That will tell you everything you need to know.

8-24-2019   Intel Guru Frank26  ...they're [The CBI] passing out descriptions of what they're about to get.  The coins and the new small category notes that will be in coexistence with the 3 zero notes that they have right now...it's inside (Iraq] only...today they went another step...

Iraqi politician calls for disbanding pro-Iranian militias
August 24,2019
Iraqi politician Mithal al-Alusi called on the Iraqi government to take deterrent measures against Iraqi militias that have vowed to target US interests in Iraq.
Pro-Iranian Iraqi militias, such as Asaib Ahl al-Haq and the Nujaba, have threatened to target the US embassy in Baghdad after accusing the United States and Israel of attacking weapons and ammunition storage sites belonging to the Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq.
Al-Alusi, who founded the Iraqi Umma Party, said he took those threats seriously because these groups "are not interested in the existence of the Iraqi state and its guests, but the Iranian state."
He called on the Iraqi government to disband those groups and to refer their leaders to the prosecutor.
He stressed that the US-Iraqi partnership is "the minimum to ensure and protect the existence of the Iraqi state."
Four bases used by the crowd, which includes Shiite factions loyal to Iran, have been subjected to mysterious explosions in recent weeks, the latest occurred on Tuesday at the headquarters near Balad air base, which houses US military north of Baghdad.
The United States has denied any links to those attacks on the PMF, while Israel has stressed its right to target Iran "everywhere", without confirming targeting sites in Iraq.
