What is the real reason behind Al-Halbousi’s visit to Iran.. Is it related to Al-Issawi and Suleiman!?

link

As soon as the news of Muhammad al-Halbousi's visit to Tehran appeared yesterday, questions began to race, searching for the reason behind this visit.

The expert on Iraqi affairs, Ali Al-Baydar, answers the reasons for this visit and its relationship to the movement taking place inside the Sunni house, saying: “The visit has a close relationship with the Sunni house and what is happening in it, especially since the Sunni authority is still in the hands of one person and this visit has more than one dimension.”

Al-Baydar indicated, during a press interview, that "the purpose of the visit could be to ask Iran to intervene and withdraw the mediation conducted by Shiite parties in order to neutralize Al-Halbousi and extract leadership from him."

He added, "The visit may have another dimension, which is to pay to complete the requirements or benefits of the elections from choosing the presidency and the government, and also by putting pressure on certain Shiite parties because the situation in which Al-Halbousi is living is worrying, so the elections can be repeated and he does not have the leadership of the component or be re-elected as speaker of parliament."

The expert added, "Rafe' Al-Issawi, Ali Al-Hatim and Sheikh Sattam Abu Risha stand in line with the leadership of Al-Halbousi, and if the Sunni episode is completed with the return of the arrested deputy, Ahmed Al-Alwani, and former Vice President Tariq Al-Hashemi (sentenced to death in absentia on the background of terrorist cases), it is possible that the great leadership of the Sunni component will return. smoothly to al-Hashemi or al-Issawi.”

He believed that "these steps could distance Al-Halbousi from the political scene or reduce his influence, so he went to the Shiite decision-maker, because Tehran interferes with the minute details, so he wanted to convey a message through this visit that he will not stand against Iranian trends and interests in Iraq." .

He pointed out that "there is a popular desire to impose Iraqi sovereignty over the Iraqi reality, and that the parties that al-Halbousi ally with in the tripartite alliance (save a homeland) are far from the Iranian axis, and it is possible for the latter to soften the atmosphere a little with the Iranian side, which has a major role in creating reality."

4-27-2022   Newshound Guru Godlover  Article "Parliamentary Finance: Completion of 90% of the sections of the Food Security Law". We do not want to see this law passed, at least not without the general budget...

 
4-27-2022   Newshound Guru Pimpy  People ask me do I have any concerns whatsoever about the Iraqi dinar...if they can't get their crap together let's be honest, the rate is never going to change...but one of the thing that I am keeping an eye on that's bothering me is the fact that Iraq is in a huge rush to launch their version of the central bank digital currency because I'm curious how that's going to affect us who are holding on to the paper version of the Iraq dinar, the IQD.  I'm digging into that.  Once I get that information I will share with you...We're going to see Iraq grow. They're doing it by leaps and bounds.  Look how far they come just since Al-Kazemi took over...

4-27-2022   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  With the dinar at 1/6 of a penny and people screaming for currency reform…how can they hold off any longer in fixing the dinar to a nominal rate to reflect the true value? Iraq needs to get off the de’ facto peg to the US dollar. It is causing issues and we now see it...What oil could reach $130 a barrel yet Iraq dinar sits at 1/6 of a pennyAll the news for months about the Iraqi economy has been very good and encouraging...there is not much more to tell. I rest my case


4-27-2022   Intel Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]  It is very quiet out of the middle east. Quiet out of Asia banking today...I think this is the quiet before the release. There really is so much happening on the disclosure front.

4-27-2022   Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick    Question: "Are all the meetings with the WB, IMF completed and are agreements in place?" THEY ARE BUT ...THE SITUATION GLOBALLY IS CHANGING DAILY. WHAT WAS SET IN PLACE WAS FOR THEM TO COME OUT ON PAR WITH USD AND BACKED BY THE USD. BUT EVENTS OVER THE LAST YEAR PLUS HAS IRAQ ALONG WITH MANY OTHER COUNTRIES RETHINKING THE USD BACKED CURRENCY. TALKS NOW WITH IRAQ AND A NUMBER OF OTHER COUNTRIES RECALCULATING THEIR EXCHANGE RATE FACTORING IN EXCHANGE RATE...BACKED BY A BASKET OF CURRENCIES OR ANOTHER FOREIGN CURRENCY WITH THE UNDERSTANDING MANY COUNTRIES ARE NOW GUN SHY OF BACKING THEIR CURRENCY ON PAR WITH THE USD.

4-27-2022   Intel Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]   [Please explain why the white papers are important?]  The white papers are the financial reforms in Iraq. In these is the new budget, food security, and lots of things including the new rate for the Iraqi dinar. In these papers they are creating a platform for them to have an asset backed currency with a higher value. …That is why the implementation of the white papers are important...

4-27-2022   Intel Guru Fleming   According to the CBI contact...the WTO is hot after the Central Bank of Iraq to finally sign off for the ISO 20022 certification to be implemented... They have to acknowledge compliance and acceptance, to get started right away. If...still lagging behind by the end of the month, then starting May 1st the revaluation commences with or without them. Contractors in Iraq are presently being paid at the revalued rate of 1:1 (one Iraq dinar to one US dollar).  How long will they allow this to continue?

To Maintain Eye Health With Age.. Here's This Information


Our bodies already undergo many changes with age, and one of the most frustrating transitions can be what happens to the health of your eyes. Over time, your vision may begin to weaken, you suffer from dry eyes, and your risk of eye disease also increases.

For this reason, it is important to get plenty of healthy nutrients in your daily diet to take care of your eyes and keep them as sharp as possible.
In addition to eating the right foods, another way you can ensure you're getting these nutrients is to take a supplement, according to Eat This, Not That.
In this regard, certified nutritionist Janet Coleman says that one of the best supplements for your eyes is omega-3 fatty acids.
How can omega 3 help?
According to Coleman, one of the main ways omega-3 fatty acids can help improve the health of your eyes is to "help with dry eye syndrome and protect against macular degeneration."
Dry eye syndrome can occur if your eyes are not able to produce the amount of tears needed to properly moisturize your eyes. This is a common problem that occurs with age and can be uncomfortable and intolerable.
“Dryness tends to occur with time in front of screens and aging, but omega-3s can reduce inflammation and can boost the lipid layer of tears — which can help prevent too much dry eyes,” says nutritionist Jona Bordeus.
And while you can take omega-3s in pill or capsule form, you can also get a lot of these fatty acids through food.
"Fatty fish like mackerel, anchovies, sardines, salmon, and herring, as well as flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts are all high in omega-3 fats," Bordeus says.
Other supplements that are good for your eyes
According to Coleman, there are other supplements that are beneficial for your eyes. For example, zeaxanthin and lutein may be very beneficial.
These two types of carotenoids have been found to be very useful in preventing macular degeneration and cataracts. They can be found in leafy green vegetables like kale, spinach and broccoli.
If you're not getting 5-6 servings of this vegetable per day, which is the recommended amount for your overall health, consider taking a supplement containing these two carotenoids, says Coleman.
Besides these carotenoids, a vitamin C supplement may also be beneficial if you do not get enough from the food you eat.
“Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps protect your eyes from damage caused by free radicals that lead to cataracts and macular degeneration, and it can be found in foods like peppers, oranges, kiwifruit and strawberries,” Coleman says.
