The US Treasury is doing a great job on choking Iran
By Olivier Guitta

Financial pressure on Iran is gaining traction: as proved by this article from The Croissant:

The US strategy to put financial pressure on Iran seems to be getting substantial results.
Using a more discreet approach, pressure is being applied on banks, large multinationals dealing with Iran, in particular in the energy sector: in particular in Europe, Iran's main trading partner.

Regarding banks, the results are impressive: according to diplomats and economical experts, not a single European bank now ventures in financing large projects in Iran. “The Americans played their cards very smartly” says a diplomatic source in Paris.
Regarding multinationals, the US did not follow the strategy of the 1990’s of using a domestic law sanctioning companies (US and foreign with offices in the US) doing business with Iran. Instead they went directly to the foreign companies listed on Wall Street. They evoked sanctions, fines or the likely boycott from US pension funds. It is working, a French diplomat acknowledged: “it is very efficient. What can we do?”

I received an email from a friend of mine whose husband is currently in Iraq. I don't think that she is vested in the dinar, so this is why I found her email very interesting. She talked about how her husband has been telling her for weeks now that it is really NOT that bad over there, and tons of progress has been made. She included the following link, saying that finally someone has published an accurate article in the US.

While al-Janabi appeared Lobularity and kinship to the viewers Shamari, who had appeared name and described his hand was covered so no one watches this film, which is a precautionary measure for security reasons.

Perhaps the question that arises here is .. Why Shamari needed to cover the point while Tubeless Janab with that both were given on the basis of being the leaders of resistance factions?

The answer to this question may be owned channel alone or may be the sheer desire of the party that can be seen in no other party sees no objections to the public.

Sic), while mentioned in the news tape the bottom of your screen. Observers believe Followers of the armed factions that the island has played a role in the rehabilitation of some resistance leaders in preparation for the coming new phase may be pregnant big secrets.

It was the amount that their 2007 budget was based off of.

This isn't dated but was posted with todays news...

Economic event : in light of the multiple economic enticements legislation .. Any method applies to the economic reality?

Since the collapse of the United Iraqi state after previous April 9, 2003, features new image of the Iraqi economy did not seem evident, despite the clarity of the overall framework which was installed .. It ordered the state economy, driven by totalitarian authority towards political interests, to the uncontrolled market economy not controlled by any officer.

Through many collapses injuring overall productive sectors, through the stages of degradation experienced by this rentier economy .. Have emerged for the ordinary citizen and observer economic phenomena many may not withdraw by constants and economic laws, which called for the adoption of many erratic (mobility commercial and financial mobility, as well as mobility productive) before economic laws and constants over recent years and years that preceded it ...

Are features new Iraqi economy, after a series of laws and legislation designed to shape the final picture of this economy? Are deals ordinary citizen to accept and clear with new features? A series of questions tried some of the employees in the economic answer ... Abdul Jalil Al-Saadi (economic researcher) told us : perhaps not seen any economy in the world in twenty years, witnessed by the Iraqi economy from failures and missteps variety, a result of what is caused by damage to the corridors of politics, the different Phases tasted this economy, which has no real infrastructure for being economical unilateral were numerous.

No experience collapse that occurred in the economies of East Asian countries (Tigers seven) in the mid-1990s of the last century could be similar experience catastrophic collapse of the Iraqi economy, and the Argentine economic crisis that occurred due to the sudden movement of the Argentine economy and non-systematic to a market economy, similar to what passed by the Iraqi economy fluctuations even reached the stage can be written off all its activities to establish a new direction and building the economy continued to global economics.

Our economy may not apply vocabulary theory of supply and demand in many stages because of the multiplicity of factors influencing the performance of its economic imbalance, and the multiplicity of factors affecting these make the economic reality (raw) can be made available to the decision-making to chart out the features form a new Iraqi economy moving .. Valeria coming from the sale of oil and qualifies it seems, the political decision-maker for the state budget and then move towards shaping (raw material) intended to manufacture the final form of the economy.

The citizen here (consumer), and appear to be part of the process of restructuring .. This citizen who did not expect that at the stage of the 1980s when the price of the car equal to the price of a pack of cigarettes value in the 1990s, is the same that was happening on the (vial of liquid gas) and at official thousand dinars, the equivalent of two years ago and now it is happening at a formal five thousand dinars, the equivalent of a satisfied, because he lived spiral crises and that commodity purchased twenty thousand dinars, and this applies to the subject of electric power, citizen now is on the verge of the summer season, it is ready to buy power at any price up to the limits of the price at which it buys trend unstable owners generators.

The citizen has become an important part of the new composition of the Iraqi economy ... Mr. Abdul Amir Alawi (BA economy), he said to us : some economists called the nomination (adjustment phase) of this period of transition experienced by the Iraqi economy and intended time frame for the Iraqi economy until the early stages of stability, and this stage accompanied by disruptions in many systems and economic transactions, state transition from a state to a market economy and the existence of the productive structur.

The economic base undergoes major disruptions, and these imbalances and the resulting price the consumer pays, how the case in the absence of infrastructure and productive economic base such as the economic reality in which we live that it will be very difficult for the public, and ordinary citizens will pay a heavy price bread covered in the stage adaptation of this, so I I think that the current drive towards attempts to support poorer classes through a network of social welfare or increase the salaries of junior staff, came to alleviate the burdens of the consequences of these classes this stage, it is natural to find a set of contradictions at the same time, the high value of the dinar against foreign currencies now seems to be contributes to the reduction of the price hike, and the citizen is psychologically ready to bear the expenses of campus services, which were previously subsidized by the State in a time when laws clearly features of the final picture of the Iraqi economy.

As Ziad, the owner of an office Dealer, said to us : they say that Iraq's economy, is a so******t and was, for example, each dollar deals go hand, and then permitted to deal in dollars on the streets and sidewalks, sold public sector enterprises, but now say that a market economy, but we have yet to understand the features of this economy, legislation still focus difference (and gas bottles) became five thousand dinars, at the government and 20 thousand dinars on the black market, the dollar fall while prices do not go down, the law of supply and demand determines prices Maad!
