Reuters quoted an Iranian source on Sunday as saying that most of the highly enriched uranium had been moved from the Fordow facility to an undisclosed location inside Iran before the US attack, confirming that the number of workers at the facility had been reduced to a minimum. The Washington Post published satellite images of "unusual" activity at the same facility two days before the strike, indicating trucks leaving the facility and heading toward a military complex.
Iran will no longer choose Iraq's prime minister.. Aws al-Khafaji
Elections are full of surprises.
Sheikh Aws al-Khafaji, a prominent cleric and commander of the Abu al-Fadl al-Abbas forces, said that the balance of power created by the war will prevent Iran from interfering in the selection of the next Iraqi prime minister. He believes that the upcoming elections will bring significant change, but not in the manner of Faiq al-Sheikh Ali!
Aws Al-Khafaji, in an interview with media personality Hisham Ali, followed by the 964 network:
After the balance of power has changed and after this war ends peacefully and safely for our brothers in the Islamic Republic, Iran will not have a hand in choosing the next Iraqi prime minister.
The factions are seeking to exploit the events for electoral purposes, and their weak position indicates a major crisis within them. Now, influential Iraqi politicians are sending messages through intermediaries to the United States to clarify their disregard for the ongoing military escalation. Their pockets are laden with money, and capital is cowardly.
The war will cast a shadow over the political situation in Iraq, even if elections are held - and I expect they won't. However, if they are held, the aging parties will suffer a political defeat, and the landscape will change, but democratically, not in the manner of Faiq Sheikh Ali. These parties have already begun to move to exploit Iran's resilience and the sympathy of Iraqis for it to entrench themselves in the streets electorally. Nevertheless, the ruling parties will not disappear; rather, they will weaken significantly.
Iraq's involvement in the war alongside Iran will threaten the political system.
The trial of the killers of the October Revolution is approaching, and God willing, they will be put in prison.
Prime Minister's Advisor: The country's financial situation is secure
The Prime Minister's Financial Advisor, Dr. Mazhar Mohammed Salih, stated that Iraq's financial situation remains within safe limits, despite regional tensions resulting from the Israeli aggression against Iran. He noted that the country possesses clear financial tools and hedges in the three-year general budget law that enable it to absorb potential shocks.
Saleh said, in an interview with Al-Sabah, followed by Al-Eqtisad News, that “the general budget for the three years (2023-2025) was prepared according to a medium-term financial policy, which includes hedging within the upper spending ceilings, as it was set between an upper limit of 200 trillion dinars, and a lower limit of more than 155 trillion dinars, which ensures meeting the state’s operational and investment obligations.”
He explained that "this hedge is based on the movement of the oil asset cycle, and a hypothetical deficit of 64 trillion dinars has been adopted, which is supposed to be financed in the event of a price decline, which constitutes a strong precaution against any sharp fluctuations in the global oil market."
He explained that "the last two months have indeed witnessed signs of a price contraction in the oil market, but the geopolitical tensions resulting from the war between Iran and the Zionist entity caused a positive price shock, raising oil prices by about $10 per barrel, which improved the country's revenues, although this is fraught with risks related to the security of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, through which 99% of Iraq's oil exports pass."
The advisor added, "The Iraqi economy is currently supported by a foreign exchange reserve, which is a fundamental pillar of stability, covering 15 months of trade, in addition to the availability of commodity stocks, some of which extend for more than three years, and food security indicators are very reassuring."
Saleh concluded his remarks by emphasizing that "Iraq's fiscal policy is built on a foundation of caution and forward-looking planning to ensure it can address any potential external repercussions, including those that may result from regional conflicts or oil market turmoil."
Al-Husseini: Washington is besieging Iraq economically for known political goals.
Member of Parliament Yasser al-Husseini accused the United States on Sunday of continuing to impose an undeclared economic blockade on Iraq for what he described as well-known political reasons.
Al-Husseini told Al-Maalouma News Agency, “The United States continues to create crises within Iraq, while the central government submits to the American blackmail policy, which aims to achieve clear political and economic gains.”
He added, "The government has failed to manage the economy, relying almost entirely on oil revenues and failing to revitalize the agricultural and industrial sectors. Various initiatives have also failed to provide radical solutions to the economic crises facing the country."
Al-Husseini explained that “Washington is using the dollar as a tool of pressure to weaken the Iraqi economy, which constitutes an undeclared economic blockade that has affected various sectors.” He noted that "America's policy toward Iraq only its own interests, while the government remains unable to take a clear position that protects national autonomy."
Concluding his remarks, he stressed that “the US administration is exerting continuous pressure on the Iraqi government, with the aim of obstructing it from achieving any real accomplishments that meet the aspirations of the Iraqi people.”
US alert at Ain al-Asad base in western Iraq
An informed source revealed on Sunday that US forces imposed a state of maximum alert inside the Ain al-Assad base, west of Anbar, while Apache helicopters were absent from the airspace for the first time in a long time.
The source said, "Ain al-Assad base, where US forces are deployed across large areas, has been on maximum alert since the early hours of dawn, with the main entrances to the base closed."
He pointed out that "the surprise lies in the fact that no Apache helicopters were observed flying since the early hours of dawn. They may have been placed on special security in anticipation of any emergency, especially with former US President Donald Trump bombing Iranian nuclear reactors in the early hours of the morning."
He added that "the measures inside the base are a precautionary measure in response to a possible Iranian response, especially since Ain al-Assad base is one of the bases geographically closest to Iranian territory."
The source explained that "the situation inside the base is still on maximum alert, with drones flying in the surrounding airspace."
Iraq buys $30 billion in US Treasury bonds
The US Treasury Department announced that the total holdings of global bonds this year reached more than $9 trillion, while Iraq remains outside the top 20 countries with the largest holdings of these bonds for the second year.
The Treasury said in its latest 2025 table that "Iraq did not increase its holdings of US bonds, which remained at around $30 billion, so it did not enter the top twenty largest holders of US bonds."
It added that "global holdings of US bonds amounted to $9 trillion and 13 billion."
It indicated that "Japan is the largest holder of US bonds, with $1.134 trillion, followed by the United Kingdom, which owns $807 billion, followed by China with $757 billion, the Cayman Islands came in fourth with $448 billion, and Belgium with $411 billion."
In the Arab world, "Saudi Arabia and the UAE were among the top twenty countries with the largest holdings of US bonds, with their holdings amounting to $134 billion and $113 billion, respectively."
Iraq owns approximately $32 billion in US bonds, which are considered one of the country's private reserves.
With Al-Sudani in attendance, a high-level political meeting in Baghdad addresses the repercussions of the war.
An informed source revealed that an expanded meeting will be held this evening, Sunday, attended by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and all leaders and components of the Coordination Framework and the State Administration Coalition, to discuss the latest regional developments.
The source explained to Shafaq News Agency that the meeting will address the situation in the region and the recent strikes targeting Iranian nuclear sites, with the aim of reaching a unified position on these events, in addition to discussing a diplomatic mechanism to defuse the crisis.
The source explained that "the meeting, held under the auspices and attendance of the Prime Minister, will set the agenda for future decisions regarding developments in the region and will address taking all necessary measures to protect Iraq and its people from the repercussions of the escalation between Iran and Israel, especially after the United States entered the confrontation directly and targeted Iranian nuclear sites, which nearly caused a catastrophe."
He added, "The meeting aims to reach a unified Iraqi decision to halt this war, given its dangerous repercussions for the peoples of the Middle East, and the fear that events could slide into a full-scale world war, given Israel's violation of international norms and laws."
The source indicated that "Iraq seeks to unify the official resolution and discourse with the countries of the region, to pressure the United States and the UN Security Council to stop the war and take the necessary measures in this regard."

Parliamentary Finance Committee: The large deficit in the budget law amounts to 80 trillion dinars.
Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Hussein Mounes, ruled out the government's submission of federal budget schedules, while reviewing the main reasons for this move.
In a press statement, Mounes said that there are several reasons for the government's decision not to send the federal budget schedules to parliament, most notably the fiscal deficit, unstable revenues, the lack of a realistic economic vision, and the approaching parliamentary elections.
He added that the large budget deficit, amounting to 80 trillion dinars, places the government in a difficult position due to the lack of a real economic vision for drafting the budget and submitting it to Parliament.
Meeting between the foreign ministers of Iraq and Iran to contain the escalation
Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein met on Sunday with his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araqchi, to discuss developments in the regional escalation, on the sidelines of the 51st session of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Foreign Ministers.
The Iraqi Foreign Ministry said in a statement received by Shafaq News Agency that this meeting is the second between the two ministers since the beginning of the current crisis. The meeting addressed the latest security developments in the region, in light of the US military strike against key nuclear sites in Iran.
During the meeting, Iranian Minister Abbas Araqchi gave a detailed presentation on the impact of these attacks, indicating that his country is taking several steps to respond. He also indicated Iran's intention to approach the UN Security Council for an emergency session at the invitation of Russia.
For his part, Minister Fuad Hussein stressed the importance of activating the open-ended ministerial contact committee, an initiative proposed by Iraq within the framework of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, with the aim of containing the crisis and opening channels for dialogue that would contribute to reaching peaceful solutions and avoiding further escalation in the region.
