Baghdad denies using its territory to attack Saudi Arabia
17/09/2019
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The Iraqi government on Sunday denied media reports about the use of its territory in an attack on Saudi oil facilities in eastern Saudi Arabia on Saturday.
The Iraqi government said in a statement «Iraq denies what circulated some media and social media about the use of its territory to attack Saudi oil installations by drones». The statement issued by the Information Office of the Prime Minister, the commitment of Iraq «constitutional to prevent the use of its territory for aggression on his neighborhood and his brothers and friends». He added «the Iraqi government will deal firmly against anyone who tries to violate the Constitution has formed a committee of the relevant Iraqi parties to follow up information and developments». Houthi militias claimed responsibility for the drone attack on two Saudi Aramco oil plants, one of the world's largest oil refineries. "Iraq calls on all parties to cease mutual attacks and cause great loss of life and facilities," the statement said. The Iraqi government affirms that it is following these developments with great interest and solidarity with its brothers and expresses its concern that escalation and military solutions complicate the humanitarian and political situation and threaten our common security and regional and international security. Sister countries ». The Iraqi denial follows reports that the attack on two Saudi Aramco plants in the Abqaiq region was carried out by drone drones taking off from Iraq and not from Yemen, according to preliminary information. An official familiar with the investigation into the attack told CNN television that the damage was caused by an attack by "armed drones". WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Experts are considering whether attackers at Saudi oil facilities could use cruise missiles fired from Iraq or Iran, the Wall Street Journal quoted Gulf officials as saying, without ruling out the drones hypothesis. Abqaiq province, 150 km east of the capital Riyadh, is home to the world's largest oil refinery and Khurais, 190 km southwest of Dhahran - the world's second-largest oilfield.

"In its expenses, it represents a great challenge to the public budget and reduces the resources that can go to occupy others and achieve more job opportunities through real projects." Operate the real sectors, namely industrial, agricultural, tourism and others, which are the basis for moving economic rings. He added: "Therefore, there must be a focus on moving these economic sectors by changing the economic model that exists today in Iraq, the model that exists now is that our revenues come from oil, which is pumping the largest of them in the form of salaries, and these salaries turn into demand for imported goods and goods, So our revenues go to building the economies of other countries rather than moving the pace of the economic situation. " The governor of the Central Bank explained that "people can not be laid off from their jobs, but the money taken as salaries can be invested within Iraq through the expansion of the real sector and this will occupy other people, which depends on the coordination of some of the trade, investment and taxation Economic.

9-16-2019 Newshound Guru Breitling Don't worry about what's happening with Saudi Arabia. Do not worry if we go to war with Iran...because we anticipated all this stuff we have a way to lower the price of oil...what's that mean for you and me? Iraq, they're gonna have to add value to their currency. They are not going to be making money selling energy. So you and I are sitting on their currency. Huge opportunity. I'm excited. I'm not kidding. It's a beautiful thing...It's coming down the road. [Post 2 of 2]
9-16-2019 Newshound Guru Breitling ...They [Russia] are putting out a report that it [oil] is probably going to be $26 a barrel in the year 2020...it's going to be low. What does that mean for you and me? It means Iraq is going to add value to their currency. It's not a hypothetical. They know. They have the most undervalued currency. What allows them to do that is the profits they're making selling energy in US dollars. But once that dries up they're not going to be sitting on a domestic currency at a tenth of a penny. It's not gonna happen. They're not China. They're not Vietnam. They don't have a labor force like that. [Post 1 of 2]
9-16-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [...latest indicates with the attack on Saudi oil we may be seeing 100 a barrel soon. Based on what you are seeing and hearing will this move the RV closer or will the concerns for possible attacks on near by Iran and possible Saudi retaliation cause Iraq to pause and take a step back? Look into your crystal ball. LOL.] My crystal ball says anything that will guide oil to higher prices is potentially a good thing for Iraq's future. Obviously there's more to it than that, but the Crystal Ball tends to be a bit vague at times.

[Baghdad-Where]
The Federal Supreme Court on Monday rejected a request to dismiss the winner of the parliamentary elections, Haider al-Abadi.
Iyas al-Samouk, a spokesman for the court, said in a statement today that the court, after scrutiny and deliberation, found that the plaintiff and his agents had claimed that he had been nominated for the Nasr bloc for the 2018 parliamentary elections. And fraud in the process of counting and manual counting and the result of mismatch with the result of electronic counting and counting despite the claim of the Commission to the contrary has asked the ruling to recalculate his electoral votes and being a winning candidate.
He added that "the plaintiff claimed that MP Haider Jawad Kazem al-Abadi did not take the oath of office during the first legislative session of the House of Representatives for the current session as required by paragraph [II] of article [4] of the House of Representatives Act and its formations No. [13] of 2018 as well as what Article (10) of the same law requires it to be sworn in at the first session of the Council. He continued that "according to the request to rule by the House of Representatives to dismiss and terminate the membership of MP Haider al-Abadi, based on the above and paragraph [III] of article [11] of the House of Representatives Law and its formations, which gave the Council the power to dismiss the MP if his absences exceeded without legitimate excuse more than a third Sessions of the Council in one legislative term after paragraph [IV] of which ruled that the deputy failed to take the oath without a legitimate excuse is considered an absence from the meeting. Al-Samouk explained that the Federal Supreme Court found that considering the first request of the plaintiff to recalculate his electoral votes due to the presence of manipulation and fraud in the election process and the incompatibility of the results of manual counting and counting with the results of electronic counting and counting out of its jurisdiction in this regard provided for in Article [93] Of the Constitution and Article [4] of its Law No. [30] of 2005, because what the plaintiff requested in relation to this paragraph of his claim shall be considered by the Independent High Electoral Commission under Article [8] of its Law No. [11] of 2007, Issue it on the occasion of complaints and appeals be challenged In front of the judiciary in the Federal Court of Cassation based on the provisions of paragraph [VIII] of the same material. He pointed out that with regard to the plaintiff's request to dismiss and end the membership of [MP] Haider al-Abadi as a result of his absence from attending the sessions and not being sworn in, the Federal Supreme Court finds that this requires access to the answer to the following question: which is when the winner of the election of the House of Representatives? Back to the provisions of Article [50] of the Constitution we find that it obliged the winner of the elections and before assuming his duties to take the oath mentioned in accordance with its rules, as stipulated in paragraph (IV) of Article [11] of the House of Representatives Act - before ruling unconstitutional - to succeed [Deputy] If he is absent more than one-third of the sessions of the Council in one legislative term, the Council may dismiss him.

Accordingly, it is not permissible to lower the replacement provisions stipulated in the law of replacing the members of the House of Representatives No. 6 of 2006 - as requested by the plaintiff in his case - for the winner who has not been sworn in and replaced by him, as this case is not addressed in the law of the House of Representatives and its formations.
