Tishwash:  Parliamentary wealth: Iraq aborted the malicious American agendas with the oil and gas agreement

A member of the Parliamentary Oil, Gas and Natural Resources Committee, Alaa Al-Haidari, affirmed Iraq’s success in breaking the US hegemony over the Iraqi energy sector by bartering oil with gas.

Al-Haidari said in a televised interview, followed by Al-Maalouma, that “America is practicing a malicious policy against Iraq, but the Iraqi negotiator surrounded the American crisis and won the energy file over Washington.”

He added, “Iraq must continue to barter with Iran and not be subject to US sanctions.”

He pointed out, “The government must proceed with the barter agreement with Iran and make it a success and develop it, because America will review its calculations that Iraq is in a new situation that differs from what it was in the time of Mustafa Al-Kazemi.”

Al-Haidari pointed out that “America is now with its weakest strength, but it is trying to impose its will with malice, and that barter mechanisms with Iran must be developed, and the Banias pipeline should be developed and invested in the best way.”  link

He added that “the markets of Mosul are witnessing a very large recession due to the high prices of food products, which was a major reason for the rise in the price of the dollar, which negatively affected the Mosul street, calling on the Central Bank to intervene quickly to solve the crisis of the rise in the price of the dollar, which negatively affected citizens due to the deterioration of the economic conditions in Iraq in general, especially Nineveh.”

Citizen Uday Al-Badrani stressed that “this increase has led to a deterioration in the purchasing power of citizens and an increase in the cost of living.

Prices have been significantly affected, he said, as prices of basic commodities, foodstuffs and basic necessities have risen. Various economic sectors, such as industry, agriculture and trade, have also been affected by the high import costs and the decline in investments, which led to the deterioration of the economic situation and increased unemployment and poverty rates,” he said, calling on the Central Bank to intervene quickly in order to end the violations of these high prices in light of this difficult economic situation.
