Representatives and activists demand that members of the Al-Kazemi government be prevented from traveling
Representatives and observers of political affairs demanded that the Supreme Judicial Council issue a decision banning the travel of members of the Council of Ministers in the caretaker government headed by Mustafa Al-Kazemi, especially the ministers around whom suspicions of corruption hovered, while expanding the ban base to include members of government and independent bodies who have corruption files and cases that pursue them. .
Representatives and activists said that suspicions surround the work of Minister of Oil and Finance Ihsan Abdul-Jabbar, Minister of Transport Nasser al-Shibli, Minister of Defense Jumaa Inad, Minister of Trade and Minister of Agriculture Karim al-Khafaji, as well as the current Minister of Electricity (agency) and the ministers who preceded him, and the Minister of Health and other ministers, as well as these suspicions are chasing the President The Investment Authority, Suha Al-Najjar, the Director General of the Civil Aviation Authority, the Director General of the Sumo Company, Alaa Al-Yasiri, as well as the directors and heads of other independent bodies, as well as the undersecretaries of the important ministries, especially the two deputy ministers of Oil Hamid Al-Zoba’i and Karim Hattab and other agents as well, so allowing the travel of these officials is a crime against Iraq's money. "
The deputies demanded that the caretaker government be subjected to judicial accountability for all the things it carried out after the end of its mandate."
They pointed out that "the absence of the House of Representatives since October 2021, contributed to the loss of parliamentary oversight over the performance of these government institutions and ministries, and thus there was much talk about the prevalence of corruption and thefts from state resources."
They stressed that "the principle of accountability and judicial accountability is a principle in force in most democratic countries, and Iraq cannot be isolated from these countries
The framework and the current topple a Kurdish-Zionist project to destroy the artery of Iraq and paralyze it
With the disclosure of the volume of oil exports from the Kurdistan region to the Israeli entity, evidence emerges of the region's involvement and the Zionist entity behind it inciting to stop the export of oil from the central government in light of a stifling energy crisis the world is witnessing.
In the past few days, inciting calls emerged on the Telegram calling platforms for the oil fields to be besieged and stopped for several days as part of what it considered a "popular escalation", before the private office of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, issued a statement denying the movement's connection to those channels as they incite sedition.
The prominent oil expert Hamza Al-Jawahiri says in this regard, "The Kurdistan region is the only and most prominent beneficiary of the disruption of the oil of Basra and other provinces, especially with the binding Federal Court decision, which demands the central government to stop the export of oil to Israel or to any party."
Al-Jawahiri added, in a statement to Al-Maalouma, that "the calls to stop stupid oil under the pretext of the demonstrations are considered a and malicious step by external and internal hands to stop the lifeline in Iraq and destroy what is left of its economy."
To sources, "Kurdistan's oil exports amounted to about 446,000 barrels per day during the last month," noting that "Italy ranked first with more than 5 million barrels, and then Croatia with more than 2.8 million barrels," noting that "Turkey imported more than 1.7 million barrels per day.” One million barrels, while Israel imported more than 1.7 million barrels from the Kurdistan region.
Those sources confirm that "the revenues of the Kurdistan region amounted to more than 1.5 billion dollars during the past month."
In the first sign of ending the dispute between the Sadrist movement and the coordination framework, the latter praised the steps taken by Muqtada al-Sadr to stop the biggest threat to the oil and economic file in Iraq, indicating that the hidden hands are trying to strike the street and stir up sedition with the most important fateful file.
The leader in the framework, MP Muhammad Al-Baldawi, said in a statement to "The Information" that "the statements of the leader of the movement, Muqtada Al-Sadr, by naming the malicious platforms that tried to drag the supporters of the movement or the demonstrators in general to open a new conflict by stopping the most important artery in Iraq, which is the export of oil, ports and crossings.”
He added, "Mr. Al-Sadr's refusal was appreciated and considered a sign of a solution to Iraq's interests, and it cannot be abandoned just because of political whims or for the sake of a dispute that can be resolved through dialogue."
Al-Baldawi asserts, "The incitement to paralyze the main engine of life in Iraq, which is oil and the border crossings and institutions that complement it, cannot pass without accountability for those who try to stir up sedition between the supporters of the current and the framework."
The file of Kurdish oil export to the Zionist entity dates back to previous years and is still the subject of political, parliamentary and popular conflict and controversy, while the government is unable to determine these practices by the region, especially after the adoption of the law criminalizing normalization.

Al-Sadr announces (final retirement): Everyone is in a solution from me
In the name of God

Who did not abandon Iraq and its people. Despite his resignation, Najaf al-Ashraf is the largest headquarters of the religious authority, as is always the case.. and I have never called for infallibility or diligence, not even (leadership). The biggest reason for it is the Shiite political forces as the majority. I wanted nothing but to bring them closer to their people and to feel their suffering, hoping that it would be a door to God's satisfaction with them.. How can they do this.
Although I thought that the reference’s retirement was not out of his own volition, and the statement issued about him was likewise.. However, I had decided not to interfere in political affairs, so now I announce my final retirement and the closure of all institutions except the Holy Shrine, the Noble Museum and the Al-Azhar Heritage Authority. Honorable chest.. and everyone is free from me.. and if I die or get killed, I ask you
Al-Fatiha and supplication. And our last supplication is that praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds, asking the Almighty to make us steadfast on the path of the two chested martyrs (their pure souls sanctified).

Reuters: Al-Sadr is living in a state of "tension" and excessive smoking... What happened between him and Qaani?
The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, is experiencing unprecedented times of tension, as he started smoking again, despite his quitting this habit a long time ago, while information revealed details of the visit of the Iranian Quds Force commander Ismail Qaani to Sadr's house, to discuss the future. Iraqi politics and Iran’s dominant role in it,” according to a report published by Reuters.
According to the report, which was followed by Earth News, the meeting was in al-Sadr’s house, and the second party was the commander of the Quds Force, the wing of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards responsible for military and intelligence operations outside the borders that the regime in Tehran uses to establish its hegemony abroad, and which is charged by Tehran with maintaining its influence in Iraq.
Below is a portion of the text of the report:
According to four Iraqi and Iranian officials familiar with the details of the half-hour interview in the city of Najaf, al-Sadr received the Iranian leader with a “clear coldness.”
Muqtada al-Sadr used to wear a black and white keffiyeh of southern Iraq on his shoulders and put on a brown cloak, in a deliberate local fashion that contrasted with the completely black clothes and turban that he usually wears on public occasions.
Al-Sadr's clothing, the officials said, was conveying a nationalist political message that summed it up: Iraq, as a sovereign Arab state, would make its own way, without interference from its Iranian neighbor, despite the sectarian ties between the two countries.
Al-Sadr challenged the Iranian leader, according to one of the officials, and said: “What is the relationship of Iraqi politics with you? … We do not want you to interfere.”
The Iranian government did not respond to requests sent to its foreign ministry and delegation to the United Nations for comment. Al-Sadr's office also did not respond to questions from "Reuters".
Moqtada al-Sadr, the officials said, was overwhelmed with confidence after a string of political gains made by his fledgling Iraqi alliance (Save a Homeland) against Iran and his Iraqi supporters, who see Tehran as their best ally.
General Qaani has been waiting for the meeting for months
The Iranian leader was apprehensive, people familiar with the visit said. He kept seeking to meet for months, and he kept visiting Iraq, and on one occasion he prayed openly at the grave of al-Sadr's father.
Iranian officials quoted Qaani as saying that if Muqtada al-Sadr included Tehran's allies in any coalition, Iran would consider al-Sadr the main political figure in Iraq.
Al-Sadr has remained steadfast, stressing in a tweet after the meeting his commitment to a government free of foreign interference. In the written message, which was scanned on Twitter, he said: "Neither Eastern nor Western... a national majority government."
Muqtada al-Sadr's disappointment
Muqtada al-Sadr's efforts to counter and defeat Iran's maneuvers only prompted it and its proxies to launch a political and military counterattack, including missile strikes on potential allies that al-Sadr was courting: the Kurds in northern Iraq and officials in the UAE.
Disappointment with Muqtada al-Sadr was so high due to the stalemate and Iranian pressure that in June he ordered his current 73 MPs, nearly a quarter of the parliament, to withdraw from the assembly. In July and August, he led thousands of his supporters in a long sit-in at the council.
Fears of bloodshed in Iraq
Muqtada al-Sadr's diet worries many who fear that the current tension will fuel more unrest and possibly more violence inside Iraq and across the Middle East.
In statements to "Reuters", the Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations in Iraq, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, said: "If we want stability in the Middle East, this will not be achieved as long as there is general unrest and competitions for power in Iraq, which will then become an arena for regional competitions. “.
“Al-Sadr can lead us to a Shiite war against the Shiites,” a commander in an Iran-allied militia in southern Iraq said of the February meeting.
To better understand the instability sweeping Iraq, Reuters spoke to more than 40 Iraqi and Iranian officials, politicians, foreign diplomats and local residents. Some officials, including those who described the meeting between Muqtada al-Sadr and Qaani, spoke on condition of anonymity.
The news agency also reviewed dozens of government documents detailing judicial decisions, government spending, and corruption investigations, and moved across the impoverished south, where most Shiites live, and where residents say the crisis is exacerbating deep-rooted problems with graft and institutional neglect.
“There is a political battle going on in Baghdad, and we are stuck in the middle of it,” said Walid Al-Dahamat, a teacher in the poor southern town of Amarah and brother of a local activist who was killed by unidentified gunmen in 2019.
“Expect a lot of hardship”
Before Sadr and Qaani met, some of Iran's allies decided to express their displeasure with any move away from Tehran.
On February 2, an unknown faction based in southern Iraq launched drone strikes on the UAE capital Abu Dhabi.
The faction that bears the name (The Righteous Promise Brigades) said that the strikes came in response to the UAE's intervention in Iraq and Yemen, which is witnessing a raging civil war between regional agents led by Saudi Arabia and Iran.
The UAE said at the time that it had intercepted the strikes. But the attack scared the Emiratis, according to an Iraqi government official, a Western diplomat, and two Iraqi Sunni leaders who worked with UAE envoys in coalition talks. The UAE has sent officials to Tehran and Baghdad to calm the tension.
Jubouri, a Sunni leader who participated in efforts to form a government, noted that the Emiratis' commitment to Sadr had wavered. Al-Sadr met and met me the following week.
Three days after the tense interview, several of his advisors told Reuters that Muqtada al-Sadr had summoned his aides to his house. They added that he was clearly frustrated by the escalation of tension, and even returned to smoking, an old habit he had given up and never practiced in public places.
As one of the advisors, whose account of the meeting coincided with those of two other senior Sadrists familiar with the meeting, said: “His Eminence al-Sayyid told the attendees thus: Our opponents now are not only those who oppose a national majority government, but also our opponent now is the neighboring country, so they expected a lot. There will be difficulties and obstacles in the coming days, and we must all rely on God to face the enormous pressures imposed on us now and in the coming days

Shameful"...Iraq's total exports increased by 112.7% for the year 2021
The Iraqi Ministry of Planning announced, on Monday, an increase in the country's total exports by 112.7% for the year 2021, while a financial expert described those non-oil exports as "shameful."
The Ministry's Central Statistics Agency said in a report seen by Shafak News Agency, "The total exports of crude oil, petroleum products and commodity materials amounted to 121.6 trillion dinars for the year 2021, equivalent to 83.8 billion US dollars, an increase of 112.7% over the year 2020, when it amounted to 57.1 trillion dinars. The equivalent of 47.9 billion US dollars.
He added that "the value of crude oil exports amounted to 109.7 trillion dinars for the year 2021, equivalent to 75.7 billion dollars, an increase of 120.8 percent over the year 2020, which amounted to 49.7 trillion dinars, equivalent to 41.8 billion dollars."
He pointed out that "the value of exports of oil products amounted to 5.8 trillion dinars for the year 2021, equivalent to 4 billion dollars, recording an increase of 105.5% from the year 2020, where the value of exports of oil products reached 2.8 trillion dinars, equivalent to 2.4 billion."
She explained that "the value of merchandise exports amounted to 6.1 trillion dinars for the year 2021, equivalent to 4.2 billion dollars, recording an increase of 31% over the year 2020, which amounted to 4.6 trillion dinars, or the equivalent of 3.8 billion dollars."
For his part, the financial expert, Muhammad Al-Hasani, confirmed to Shafaq News Agency, "The rise in Iraqi exports for the past year came as a result of the rise in global oil prices to exceed $100, in addition to the increase in Iraq's production of crude oil."
He added that "Iraq's non-oil exports are very few, which means that the country's economy is rentier," describing it as "shameful", given the lack of these exports, which amounted to only 4 billion dollars.
He pointed out that "any of the neighboring countries that lack natural resources, its exports amount to several times what Iraq exports," noting that "Iraq has an opportunity now to restore the infrastructure of its suspended factories and factories, taking advantage of the financial abundance resulting from the high oil prices that may not be available to us." This abundance in the coming period, given that oil prices are subject to global economic fluctuations

Al-Sadr announces (final retirement): Everyone is in a solution from me wait a few hours before we believe this
In the name of God
Many people, including Mr. Al-Haeri (his shadow) think that this leadership came thanks to them or by order.
No, that is by the grace of my Lord first and from the flows of the master, the father. May his secret be sanctified.
Who did not abandon Iraq and its people. Despite his resignation, Najaf al-Ashraf is the largest headquarters of the religious authority, as is always the case.. and I have never called for infallibility or diligence, not even (leadership). The biggest reason for it is the Shiite political forces as the majority. I wanted nothing but to bring them closer to their people and to feel their suffering, hoping that it would be a door to God's satisfaction with them.. How can they do this.
Although I thought that the reference’s retirement was not out of his own volition, and the statement issued about him was likewise.. However, I had decided not to interfere in political affairs, so now I announce my final retirement and the closure of all institutions except the Holy Shrine, the Noble Museum and the Al-Azhar Heritage Authority. Honorable chest.. and everyone is free from me.. and if I die or get killed, I ask you
Al-Fatiha and supplication. And our last supplication is that praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds, asking the Almighty to make us steadfast on the path of the two chested martyrs (their pure souls sanctified).
The son of the two martyrs al-Sadr
