Washington threatens further sanctions on Iraq if ‘misuse of dollars’ not addressed

The Cradle  An official from the US Treasury Department has urged Iraq to “address continued risks of the misuse of dollars” by commercial banks to avoid a new round of sanctions targeting the war-torn country’s battered financial sector. Although nearly a third of Iraq’s 72 banks are now banned from facilitating dollar transactions due to unilateral US measures, a Treasury official who spoke anonymously with Reuters on 14 September said Iraqi banks were still operating with risks “that must be remediated.” In July, Washington blacklisted 14 commercial banks accused of facilitating US dollar transactions to Iran, a country Washington seeks to strangulate economically. The unilateral measures led to increased demand for the greenback on ...

Iraqi Athletes Reject Normalization with the Nazi regime

Iraq's top fencing athletes. The FIE Fencing World Championships 2023 is currently taking place in Milan, Italy. In solidarity with the Palestinian people and as an expression of rejecting any normalization with the Nazi occupation, the Iraqi Fencing Federation announced on Monday the withdrawal of some of its players from the world championship in Italy. The decision was a result of the draw, which placed them in a group that included Zionist players, Aljazeera Arabic reported. The Federation said in an official statement published on its Facebook account: “In a new heroic position of the Fencing Federation, our players withdrew from the world championship, refusing to meet (athletes representing) the Zionist entity.” ‘Always and Forever with Palestine’: Kuwaiti Fencer ...

This incident appears to be one of many such cases," said one expert. BRETT WILKINS  A formerly classified document published Friday by NPRrevealed how the Pentagon dismissed highly credible evidence of civilian deaths caused by the October 2019 U.S. assassination of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in Syria.

20 Years on:U.S. Imperialist Invasion of Iraq

Wrapped in a shroudthe man in the coffin,lay buried undera clod of earth,his spirit hoveringincessantly;a cloud pouring rainasked, why the Iraqi childrenwere crying out in horrific pain?The essence of camphorquestioned the existenceof chemicals,when the entire world(Blix included)had cried, ’No war!’The sea splayed angrilyagainst the rocks, mangled flesh and armouryseething within its debris.the moon wanedits luminous glow,unable to bear the continual flowof human blood on earth;there were no dearthof voices from cyber spacecrying, ‘colossus brutewatch your pace!’but you strode on—-unfazad;the smell of oila perfect foilfor your plans.Slowly, you reduce land to territory,a people to subject,creating minefieldsin minds;white doves flutter helplesslyas your men embarkon an anarchy,a scar...

The mess in Iraq

By Lawrence Davidson Back in November 2003 President George W. Bush told the country that the invasion of Iraq was the part of an effort to “spread democracy throughout the Middle East”. Initially, of course, the president had declared that the US attacked Iraq to fight terrorists who possessed weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). This specific claim could be fact-checked and indeed it was. Bush’s claims, both about terrorists in Iraq and WMDs, turned out to be false. The follow-up claim about spreading democracy could not be fact-checked. We can’t even be sure if Bush and his neo-conservative allies themselves believed in this radical goal of spreading democracy by the sword. Given that most of the regimes the US has backed in the Middle East, including at one tim...

Reality and its enemies: The rehabilitation of war criminal George W. Bush

By Lawrence Davidson Reality There is an ongoing reality that is destroying hundreds of thousands of lives in the Middle East. And though most Americans are ignorant of the fact, and many of those who should be in the know would deny it, the suffering flows directly from decisions taken by Washington over the last 27 years. Some of the facts of the matter have just been presented by the first Global Conflict Medicine Congress held at the American University of Beirut (AUB) earlier this month (11-14 May). It has drawn attention to two dire consequences of the war policies Americans have carried on in the region: cancer-causing munition material and drug-resistant bacteria. — Cancer-causing munition material: Materials such as tungsten and mercury are found ...

Twenty Years After George W. Bush’s Infamous ‘Mission Accomplished’ Claim

Lessons and legacy of the two-million strong Iraq antiwar protest

Demonstrations are dead-end get-togethers without the leadership of a vanguard revolutionary party. Iraq, Occupy – where are you now? Joti Brar Subscribe to our  channel The biggest demonstration ever seen in the streets of Britain palpably failed to achieve its declared aim, or anything approaching it. The question no one seems to be asking is: why? https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1468827586%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-4vPBgmRt2bj&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user=true The two-million-strong demonstration against the Iraq war 20 years ago today was not a success of the antiwar movement, but a symptom of its rottenness and failure. That demonstration’s total impotence was a clear sign ...

On the 20th anniversary of imperialism’s predatory invasion of Iraq

The 20th of March this year marked the 20th anniversary of the start of Anglo-American imperialism’s war against Iraq.  Although there was mass opposition to this war, most of the print and electronic media, including the BBC, whipped up jingoistic hysteria against Iraq and in favour of the war.  20 years on there is hardly anyone who can be found to speak in favour of it.  Respectable bourgeois newspapers have published articles, written by respectable bourgeois journalists, condemning this war.  We just take one such article as an example.  It appeared in the Sunday Times of 19 March 2023. Under the half misleading title ‘Ever noticed how much less stable the world is now than in 2003? Well, Blair’s to blame’, the author, Mr Rod Liddle, has,...

‘Normalising’ relationships with ‘Israel’ now carries the death penalty in Iraq

A new law may force Iraqi politicians to put their money where their mouth is on the question of Palestine solidarity and anti-imperialism. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our  channel Supporters of Muqtada al-Sadr gather outside the Iraqi parliament as the bill banning normalisation with Israel is being passed. The new law cuts to the heart of anti-imperialism in the middle east, being perfectly designed to separate those who mean it when they talk of ‘solidarity’ with Palestine and those for whom such talk is merely a necessary lip service paid at election time. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1351250083&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user=true Since elections back in October 2021,&nbs...
