Framework satisfaction to abort the Saturday movement, and strictness to end the conduct of business and prevent the struggle of brotherhood and enemies
Member of the State of Law coalition, Representative Ahmed Al-Fawaz, considered that there is a stifling crisis prevailing in the Iraqi political scene, noting that the postponement of the demonstrations on Saturday was a sign of political détente, while stressing that the coordinating framework is still committed to the nomination of Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani for prime minister and the non-renewal of Mustafa Al-Kazemi.

Oil expert: Corruption prevented Iraq from reaching 7 million barrels per day
The oil expert, Hamza Al-Jawahiri, ruled out that Iraq's production would reach 8 million barrels per day during the next few years.
On June 19, 2022, Oil Minister Ihsan Abdul-Jabbar Ismail confirmed that oil production will reach 8 million barrels per day during 2027.
Al-Jawahiri said that it is difficult for Iraq's production to reach 8 million barrels per day, due to the failure to implement the sea water project, which transports water from the sea into the fields.
He added that the implementation of this project needs 3 years with hard work, in addition to digging wells and building an electricity system.
He stressed that corruption and some parties were prevented from raising Iraq's oil production to 7 million barrels per day now, through their interventions in stopping some projects, adding that Exxon Mobil presented an offer in 2011 to implement the sea water project, but it was stopped by the hand of corruption.
He pointed out that Iraq's oil production is now supposed to reach 7 million barrels per day, but today it reaches 4.6 million barrels.

Inventory of calculation and comparison of dollar sales between 2013, 2016 and 2022.. and the difference in the percentage of the price difference between the market and the official price
The economic researcher, Manar Al-Obaidi, provided a list of the percentage of sales of hard currency, and the value of the difference between the market price and the dollar price of the Central Bank, for the first seven months in 2013, 2016 and 2022.
According to Al-Obaidi data, the sales of the first seven months of hard currency in 2013 amounted to 29 billion dollars, while in 2016 they amounted to about 18 billion dollars, and in 2022 they amounted to more than 28 billion dollars, which means that 2013 sales were greater than sales The current year is 2022.
However, the biggest difference between these years is related to the difference between market prices and central bank prices, where the higher the difference, the profits of bank owners and exchange companies that participate in the hard currency auction will be much more.
It is clear that the difference between the market price and the central bank rate in 2013 was the highest, reaching nearly $1.8 billion, which is profits within 7 months for those who buy the dollar from the central bank at the official price and sell it at the market price, with a difference of more than 6%.
In 2016, the difference amounted to $1.1 billion, with a difference of more than 6%. In 2022, the difference was the smallest, reaching only about half a billion dollars, with a difference of 1.8%.
Congressmen call on Biden administration to support Erbil in energy disputes with Baghdad
The letter was signed by Rep. Michael Waltz (R, Florida), along with Rep. Dina Titus (D, Nevada) and Rep. Doug Lamborn (R, Colorado.)
WASHINGTON DC, United States (Kurdistan 24) – Three members of the House of Representatives sent Secretary of State Antony Blinken a letter calling on the Biden administration to support the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) against pressure to curtail energy production that is coming from Iran and the pro-Iranian parities in Baghdad.
The letter was signed by Rep. Michael Waltz (R, Florida), along with Rep. Dina Titus (D, Nevada) and Rep. Doug Lamborn (R, Colorado.)
Waltz is “a combat-decorated Green Beret,” as his website explains, who served multiple tours in Afghanistan and the Middle East. He sits on the House Armed Services Committee, as does Lamborn. Titus is a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
The bipartisan letter closely resembles a bipartisan letter from the most senior Democratic and Republican senators on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee—its chairman, Robert Menendez (D, New Jersey) and its ranking member, James Risch (R, Oklahoma.)
The administration response has, so far, been minimal. It has other priorities. The State Department remains committed to a “one-Iraq” policy, while its focus on reviving the 2015 Iranian nuclear deal inhibits it from taking a tough stance toward Iran on any issue.
Congressional Letter: “Remarkable” Success of Kurdistan’s Region’s “Economic Transformation” ( I put the text of the letter below)
The letter from the three Congressmen to Blinken described the “remarkable” success of the Kurdistan Region’s “economic transformation” over the past 15 years, as the region’s oil production rose from zero to 450,000 barrels per day in that time.
That growth has been aided by the U.S. Development Finance Corporation, which has provided “$300 million to financing American companies to help develop this energy future for the Kurdistan Region,” the three representatives wrote.
The Congressmen also noted the geo-strategic importance of the Kurdistan Region’s energy production. “As a result of these investments, the KRG’s gas resources could be poised to help both Iraq and eventually wean Turkey and southern Europe off Russian and Iranian gas supplies, especially as we maintain sanctions against Russia for its illegal invasion of Ukraine.”
Iranian Assaults on the Energy Infrastructure in the Kurdistan Region
The Congressional letter explained that a major target of Iran’s attacks in the Kurdistan Region has been oil infrastructure. “Iran, recognizing this threat to their foreign energy markets, earlier this year fired rockets into Erbil, destroying the home of Kurdistan’s most prominent oil businessman,” the Congressmen wrote. “Furthermore, Iranian-backed sectarian militias took a Kurdish refinery offline and launched at least five separate rocket and drone attacks against Kurdish oil infrastructure.”
The Biden administration has, several times, condemned the attacks on oil facilities in the Kurdistan Region—but it has not attributed those attacks to any party in particular. Thus, it has never acknowledged Iran’s responsibility or taken action to hold Iran accountable for them. So it should be little surprise that the attacks have continued.
Iraq’s Federal Supreme Court—suborned by Iran!
The Congressmen noted that last February, “The Iraqi Federal Supreme Court [FSC] ruled the KRG’s oil and gas law to be unconstitutional” and directed “the KRG to align their operations with federal directives,” a decision the KRG is contesting.
Soon afterwards, Prof. Brendan O’Leary, of the University of Pennsylvania, explained that Iraq’s so-called Supreme Court was itself illegal, as it was not formed in accord with the post-Saddam constitution. “The constitution required such a court to come into existence with a two-thirds resolution, in a law by the Council of Representatives,” O’Leary stated, but “that has not happened.”
Even by that point, as it later emerged, Iran had suborned the FSC. It used Iraq’s pro-Iranian political parties to do so, as Michael Knights, a scholar at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, recently explained.
Nuri al-Maliki was key to the effort. The original purpose was to prevent Muqtada al-Sadr, who won a plurality of votes in the Oct. 2021 elections, from forming a government. But that objective was soon broadened to undermining the Kurdistan Region, producing February’s ruling on Kurdish oil production
In their letter to Blinken, the Congressmen noted that the Baghdad government “has unevenly enforced the court’s decision, cancelling 2 American and 2 European fuel contracts with the KRG.” By contrast, they stated, “Baghdad has not cancelled the contracts the KRG signed with Russian or Chinese firms.”
“We are concerned that these actions risk destabilizing Iraq, raising tensions in the region, and further disrupting international oil markets,” they continued. “It is thus in America’s national security interests to facilitate a resolution to this dispute between the Iraqi government and the KRG.”
The letter urged the State Department “to help resolve this dispute, ensuring the Kurdistan Region’s autonomy and economic rights, and ensuring Iraq will continue to be a multi-ethnic secular republic, free from Iranian interference.”
Pro Forma Response from the State Department
In many respects, the letter to Blinken from the three Representatives echoed the letter sent to Blinken on Monday from the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee (SFRC), Robert Menendez, and its Ranking Member, James Inhofe.
As the senators noted, “The Iraqi Ministry of Oil’s selective application of the Supreme Court ruling to certain U.S. companies, taken together with Iranian attacks on Iraq’s energy infrastructure, harms Iraq’s economic viability.”
Asked about that letter, State Department Spokesperson Ned Price had little by way of serious response. The SFRC has a supervisory role over the State Department, and it cannot simply ignore the committee.
However, Price would not acknowledge that any serious problem existed which required more vigorous State Department action, while the remarks he did make were perfunctory and pro forma.
“We have been and we encourage the parties to determine a way forward that supports existing and future investment and advances the interests of the Iraqi people, including those of the Kurdistan Region,” Price said on Wednesday. “We have been engaging with the central government in Baghdad. We have been engaging with our partners in the Kurdistan region as well.”
Nothing Price said suggested that the State Department saw a serious problem or planned to modify in any significant way its current policies.
Rather, the passion of senior State Department officials in the region revolves around restoring the 2015 Iranian nuclear deal. That causes them to be restrained in any criticism of Iran, while the Department’s long-standing commitment to a one-Iraq policy leads them to subordinate Erbil to Baghdad.
The Honorable Antony Blinken Secretary of State 2201 C St., NW Washington, DC 20520 Dear Secretary Blinken, Following the Iraq War, the United States advocated for a constitutional process in Iraq that was inclusive of all ethnic and religious groups in the country. However, the roles and powers of federal, regional, and governorate authorities has fueled division between the national government, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), and other political actors since its adoption. Particularly, articles 111 and 112 of the Iraqi Constitution state that Iraq’s natural resources are the property of “all the people of Iraq in all regions and governorates,” and that “the federal government, with the producing governorates and regional governments, shall undertake the management of oil and gas extracted from present fields.” The Iraqi constitution also enshrined the authorities of a region, including clarifying that authorities not explicitly given to the central government were the responsibility of the regional, government. Articles 111 and 112 permit the KRG to develop oil and gas resources in areas subject to KRG administrative control with relative independence from Baghdad. The KRG has reached oil and gas development contracts with American and allied companies subject to a KRG law based on this interpretation, and the KRG has built and used its own oil export infrastructure. By attracting foreign investment, the Kurdistan Region’s economic transformation has been remarkable, seeing its oil production grow from 0 to 450,000 barrels per day in just the last 15 years. The U.S. Development Finance Corporation has committed $300 million to financing American companies to help develop this energy future for the Kurdistan Region. As a result of these investments, the KRG’s gas resources could be poised to help both Iraq and eventually wean Turkey and southern Europe off Russian and Iranian gas supplies, especially as we maintain sanctions against Russia for its illegal invasion of Ukraine. Iran, recognizing this threat to their foreign energy markets, earlier this year fired rockets into Erbil, destroying the home of Kurdistan’s most prominent oil businessman. Furthermore, Iranian-backed sectarian militias took a Kurdish refinery offline and launched at least five separate rocket and drone attacks against Kurdish oil infrastructure. As you are aware, in February 2022 the Iraqi Federal Supreme Court ruled the KRG’s oil and gas law to be unconstitutional directing the KRG to align their operations with federal directives. The KRG remains in negotiation with the Iraqi federal government.
As a result of the Iraqi Federal Supreme Court’s decision, Iraq’s government has unevenly enforced the court’s decision, cancelling 2 American and 2 European fuel contracts with the KRG. Of note, Baghdad has not cancelled the contracts the KRG signed with Russian or Chinese firms. We are concerned that these actions risk destabilizing Iraq, raising tensions in the region, and further disrupting international oil markets. It is thus in America’s national security interests to facilitate a resolution to this dispute between the Iraqi government and the KRG. Therefore, we urge the Department to engage both the Iraqi government and the KRG to help resolve this dispute, ensuring the Kurdistan Region’s autonomy and economic rights, and ensuring Iraq will continue to be a multi-ethnic secular republic, free from Iranian interference. Thank you for your kind attention to this request. We look forward to hearing from you on this issue of upmost importance. Sincerely, __________________________

An argument between Nuri al-Maliki and Mustafa al-Kazemi at the meeting of senior political leaders in Baghdad
I haven't seen this anywhere else interesting if true

Nouri al-Maliki, the head of the Al-Fateh coalition Hadi al-Amiri, and the head of the Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq movement, Qais al-Khazali, appeared They seemed very annoyed during the meeting due to the boycott of Al-Sadr, and the lack of any usefulness in the dialogues absent It is the most effective party in the political equation, which is now at the highest levels of complexity and tension.
The framework forces accuse Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi of agreeing with the leader of the Sadrist movement and working to form a government led by him Sadrists.

Iraq's poor are promised a new strategy to reduce deprivation
The Iraqi Ministry of Planning announced its intention to prepare a strategy to improve the income and livelihood of poor families in the country, reduce poverty rates, and improve the level of per capita income, while confirming the imminent launch of the largest economic and social survey in the country, which suffers from very high poverty rates.
Although Iraq is one of the oil-rich countries, it suffers at the same time from high rates of poverty, amid government promises to take measures to address it, but it did not achieve any results
According to a spokesman for the Iraqi Ministry of Planning, Abdul-Zahra Al-Hindawi, "the ministry is preparing, in coordination and cooperation with a group of ministries and institutions, including the ministries of commerce , labor and social affairs, to prepare the third poverty reduction strategy in Iraq for the years from 2024-2028," indicating in a statement to the official Iraqi News Agency. (conscious), that "the goal of the strategy is to improve the standard of living for people with low incomes."
He explained that "the strategy focuses on two axes, the first is to reconsider and evaluate the social protection network, so as to ensure that it reaches those who are eligible for the benefit, and to re-examine the level of the poverty line in order to ensure that support reaches poor families," noting that "the second axis focuses on reforming the ration card system, and working With the Ministry of Commerce, with the aim of allocating this program to poor families with a review of those covered, so that many of them are well off, and it is better for these materials to go to poor families.”
He continued, "The strategy also aims to improve the income and standard of living of poor families through other pathways related to education, health and housing," stressing that "with this framework, the Ministry of Planning is preparing to launch one of the largest economic and social surveys in Iraq, and soon the work of this survey will be launched, which will be launched soon." It will give us very important indicators about the level of poverty, the poverty line, the standard of living of the poor and their areas of concentration, and then we will use the outcomes and indicators of this survey in writing the poverty strategy that is currently being prepared."
Human rights activists underestimated the importance of those promises that are made from time to time without implementation. Activist Raad Al-Hasnawi said, "Real solutions to reducing and addressing poverty rates are completely absent, and that the government only works by making promises that are not executable," stressing to Al-Araby Al-Jadeed stated that “poverty rates have reached very high levels in the country, and the lack of real solutions indicates their continued rise.”
He pointed out that "the main reason for these percentages is corruption, which paralyzes life in general," stressing that "it is not possible to develop solutions to poverty rates and support the poor only by getting rid of corruption and the corrupt, and this is not possible, in light of the dominance of the corrupt and their great influence in the state."
A previous report of the Iraqi Ministry of Planning had confirmed that the repercussions of the Corona virus had caused the addition of 1.4 million new Iraqis to the total number of poor, which amounted to 11 million and 400 thousand people, after it was about 10 million people before the crisis, and the poverty rate rose to 31.7 in percent, which was 20 percent in 2018
A member of the "Baghdad Development Organization", Ahmed Abdul Karim Al-Sheikhly considered that such continuous government announcements regarding treatments to stop the expansion of poverty do not receive any attention from the street because they are "unrealistic", according to him.
Al-Sheikhly added to Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that poverty rates in some cities exceeded the 50 percent threshold, such as Al-Muthanna, Al-Qaim, Al-Baaj, Al-Rutba, and Sinjar. Work for working women and the rehabilitation of destroyed factories and laboratories, all without any change.
He considered that the government has "an important opportunity at the present time due to the high oil prices and its large financial surplus, and if it fails to exploit this, there is no hope of achieving any new strategy.
?What prompted al-Sadr to postpone his "million" demonstration
The tension continues to escalate in Iraq between the Sadrist movement and the "coordinating framework", at a time when the term "Shiite-Shiite conflict" is increasing in frequency, and the political crisis has reached the highest levels of political impasse, and all .parties adhere to their positions Perhaps the postponement of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, the major demonstrations that he called for next Saturday, increased the Iraqi street's questions .and reinforced the scene of uncertainty about the coming period
Researchers discussed several scenarios behind the Sadrist movement’s postponement of its demonstrations, including preventing the possibility of armed friction, while others interpret it as a step to embarrass Tehran’s allies, and show their steps as not exceeding the limits of .reactions and trying to keep pace with the Sadrist movement’s steps
On the other hand, another spectrum believes that the movements of the head of the "AlFateh Alliance", which is part of the coordination framework, Hadi Al-Amiri, towards calm and talk about an upcoming meeting that might bring him together with Al-Sadr, represents the .main reason behind Al-Sadr's postponement of his upcoming demonstrations
Perhaps what reinforces the interpretation of the current movement’s recent step as an attempt to close the doors to the parties that are trying to drag it into a clash, is Sadr’s statement in a statement postponing the demonstration, in which he said, “If you are betting on a civil war, then I am betting on preserving civil peace… I announce the postponement of the demonstration.” The date of the demonstration is on Saturday until further notice, in ”.order to thwart your malicious plans
There are no prospects for a settlement between Al-Sadr and Iran's allies on the horizon, especially with the movement's adherence to its conditions, and its non-participation in the .meeting called by Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi
In this context, the leader of the Sadrist movement, Haider al-Haddad, said in an audio space on Twitter, August 18, "Even if the rest of the political parties agree to hold early elections, this is not enough for the Sadrist movement, and its requirements must be met in ".what It is about not repeating the same scene that followed the last elections
He added that the Sadrist movement "is committed to achieving its reform requirements before dissolving parliament and calling for early elections, as al-Sadr indicated in his statement." "Detailed demands will be put forward by the movement in the coming period," .he added
On the other hand, the representative of the "State of Law" coalition, Muhammad AlShammari, had confirmed that "forming the government is a primary goal that will not be ".waived in the next stage
He added that the demands of the Sadrist movement "do not represent the majority of the people, and there are masses in the framework who demand the necessity of forming a government, fighting corruption, providing job opportunities and approving the budget, as well as holding elections and amending its law and the impartiality of the judiciary, but all of this must take place within the framework of the constitution and the law, and not in the .manner of a coup." legitimacy and the intrusion of state institutions
As Iraqi protesters rally, political deadlock leaves families without cash
- Support for hundreds of thousands of families at stake
- Political deadlock has lasted 10 months since election
- Amid protests, some efforts at dialogue
BAGHDAD, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Sabreen Khalil lost her husband to COVID last year, leaving her to raise seven children alone, but Iraqi government funding to help her and hundreds of thousands of families in poverty is blocked by political stalemate.
With politicians deadlocked over forming a new government since an election in October, rival Shi'ite Muslim factions in Baghdad on Friday continued their weeks-long protests which have prevented parliament from meeting.
The standoff has raised fears of renewed unrest in a country where militias wield significant power and is already taking a toll on the most vulnerable.
"I am a woman and all of a sudden I had to take the responsibility of seven children alone...it broke my back," Khalil said, speaking of the impact of her husband's death.
Sitting on the floor in her one-bedroom brick house in the village of Saada on the outskirts of Baghdad, she said she cannot afford treatment for her chronic illness and that her children have to skip some meals as food prices soar.
Nine months after applying for a government pension, she has received nothing from the ministry of labour and social affairs. "Every time we go they tell us 'We are waiting for a budget'," she said.
An official at the ministry said Khalil qualifies for support but confirmed there is no funding to provide it. "Our hands are tied because there is no budget," the official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters.
Her family is one of about 370,000 families who qualify for the pension but are not receiving it because of the political deadlock, the official said.
ATTEMPT AT DIALOGUE
Iraq's 10-month standoff since the election is the longest stretch without a fully functioning government in the nearly two decades since Saddam Hussein was overthrown in a U.S.-led invasion in 2003.
Rival Shi'ite groups want to see a new government formed, but disagree on the steps to achieve it.
Supporters of the powerful Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, who fought U.S. occupation forces before emerging as the main opponent of Iran-backed Shi'ite militias and their political leaders, has demanded fresh elections.
Sadr was the biggest winner of last year's election but was unable to form a government along with Kurdish and Sunni Muslim Arab parties, excluding his Iran-backed Shi'ite rivals.
Those rivals, known collectively as the Coordination Framework, say an election can only take place after a government is formed to lead a transition period during which legislation including a new election law should be passed.
"There is consensus over dissolving parliament and holding early elections, the issue is with the mechanism," a source in the caretaker government said, adding that talks were ongoing.
On Wednesday, caretaker Prime Minister Mustafa Kadhimi met political leaders and called on Sadr's supporters to join a national dialogue. He also called on all sides to suspend any political escalation.
Sadr did not attend the meeting, and his supporters have shown little public enthusiasm for the initiative.
"These dialogues do not serve the interest of the country... They serve your interests and your parties' interests and to keep you in power," an imam told hundreds of Sadr's followers who gathered to protest outside parliament on Friday.
Some carried portraits of Sadr and his late father, also a prominent cleric, as well as Iraqi flags.
Dozens of supporters of the Coordination Framework also protested outside the heavily protected Green Zone.
Hamdi Malik, an associate fellow at the Washington Institute and a specialist on Iraq's Shi'ite militias, said that despite some efforts to bridge the differences there appeared to be little prospect of swift results.
"The division is so wide that I can't see any solution and the possibility of clashes is actually increasing," Malik said.
Parliament did pass an emergency bill in June allocating billions of dollars to buy wheat, rice and gas and to pay salaries, but other government business has stalled.
A prominent Iraqi rights activist said the political factions were all responsible for the deadlock and ordinary Iraqis were paying the price.
"Anger is rising up among the people. Economic conditions have worsened and unemployment is on the rise," said Hanaa Edwar. Leaders are "holding dialogues to redistribute the spoils amongst politicians", she said.
Khalil meanwhile is still waiting in Saada, which means "happiness" in Arabic, for the government to come to her aid. She said the political process was not working.
"They say it's wrong if we don't vote," she said. "But elections didn't change anything."
