March 5, 2026 Mnt Goat News Brief
Guten Tag everyone:
WOW this RV saga continues with the election cycle. The deadlock over the Maliki candidate for prime minister may finally be over when the official statement is given to parliament. But who will be the next nominee then? Again I have to voice my frustration as what a waste of three (3) months. And you keep asking what is taking the RV so long….. so here ya go!
GIVE A GIFT TO MNT GOAT
I decided to allow everyone to give a Free-will GIFT to Mnt Goat on PayPal if you so desire. Here is the link below. Please show your appreciation for all the hard work I do.
I recommend $15-$20 dollars a month or whatever you can afford. Do you realize I write up to eight (8) Newsletters every month. This is like a second job to me. The only way I know that people are reading and appreciating all the FACTUAL news I bring is through their appreciation. If I do not receive equal appreciation for all the hard work I do, I will simply end the Newsletter and save myself endless hours at the computer. You do want to get paid for your job, don’t you? What makes my job any different? Tell me….. I am tired of this RV saga just as you are. We are now down to addressing the Iranian militia in Iraq.

Let’s all try to chip in!

STATUS OF THE RV
Lots of juicy news to bring you today. NO! The RV did not yet happen and will NOT happen until the issues with Iran are settled, per my CBI contact. I know this is not very good news but we all have to put out proverbial ‘big boy pants’ on and suck it up. We have no control over events in the middle east.
We know this wealth transfer is coming and the RV is part of it, as God does not lie. Are you praying? Are you asking God for what you need? Did you happen to read the headlines of my Newsletter today? It is part if what explains where the election process stands today as I write this Newsletter.
In a recent article titled “AL-MALIKI’S CANDIDACY WITHDRAWAL IS IMMINENT… THE COORDINATING FRAMEWORK IS PREPARING AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT” we learn that The coordination framework in Iraq is putting the final touches on a statement expected to announce the withdrawal of its candidate for prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki.
Don’t let anyone fool you. This development last Friday of Maliki dropping out was from these events:
1.The constant, relentless messages from Trump regarding Maliki and the Iranian presence in Iraq;
2.The pressure from many parties within the so-called majority block pulling away from Maliki as the nominee;
3.The recent Supreme Judiciary ruling about the definition of the ‘majority block’ as it may not be what was previously interpreted. The Coordination Framework may lose the status of the majority block and instead the majority could be defined as the party that received the most popular votes. No more collective schemes bargaining away the wishes of the popular vote of the citizens from parties that received much lesser votes.
4.The US involvement with the war against Iran and recent killing of the supreme leader and many of his generals. Iraq is fearful it could face the same fate.
5.The threat of US sanctions that could seriously set back Iraq’s economy, oil production and CBI reserves again for many years (much like during Covid years).
Then out pops another article almost immediately following the one above titled “RIGHTS: KURDISH FORCES MUST QUICKLY NOMINATE A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TO END THE CRISIS”. NOT SO FAST!!!! This news is trying to put pressure on Kurdistan to name the nominee for president and officially put this name forward for parliament to ratify. Oh… but the official statement to announce the withdrawal of Maliki as the nominee for prime minister has not yet been forwarded to parliament and so Kurdistan officials wait to receive this official letter first. Remember again that there is no real problem in Kurdistan selecting the next president. This is only a show to stall the election process until Maliki is out and there is no turning back on him. Also the Kurds then want to know the next candidate. If it is al-Sudani we all need to watch just how fast the election process then moves on and is completed.
No more tricks from the Coordination Framework. Do they think the Kurds are stupid. Obviously the PUK supported Maliki’s nomination all along and so go figure the game they might play.
Also in the article titled “THE PATRIOTIC UNION OF KURDISTAN: THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR DELAYING THE SELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC”.
Ahmed al-Harki, a member of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), confirmed on Tuesday the existence of escalating political activity aimed at resolving the issue of the presidency. He expressed his hope that this activity (to announce the withdrawal of its candidate for prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki),would translate into practical steps in the coming days leading to the selection of a president.
Speaking to the Information Agency, al-Harki said, “The coordination framework meeting held last Monday discussed this issue frankly,” urging the two Kurdish parties to expedite its resolution. But I tell you this is not going to happen until this official letter is given to parliament of Maliki’s withdrawal.
__________________________________
What else is in the news?
Opps … we have yet another ongoing saga to follow. This one is the war with Iran. Yes, I certainly hope this does not turn out to be a dragged out long war.
I do not believe the US plans to put ground forces on Iranian soil, at least not at this point, I hope never. Could this be another Iraqi-like war in Iran like another Operation Iraqi Freedom? But wait a minute…. Saddam Hussien and Ali Khamenei are already dead along with many of his high-ranking generals. Is there a need to invade and go looking for him if he’s dead? Now it’s up to the citizens of Iran to move on the government themselves and end this regime forever. But this will first take the outside coalition to destroy the ability of the Iranian police forces and armed forces to repel force against the population. These elements must be first neutralized in this regard.
On February 28, the United States and Israel carried out a series of airstrikes across Iran, causing significant damage, civilian casualties, and the killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei along with several commanders from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Iranian army. Iran later retaliated, triggering widespread repercussions across eight countries, including Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia.
I have to add that the Iranian military leaders are not as smart as they think. Just as these extreme liberals in the US think they are growing favor among the population by supporting their stupid agendas for such a small voter base. Iran seems to follow this same stupidity with its actions during the war. Are they desperate just like the democrats in the US? What favor could Iran possibly get by bombing neighboring countries? But now we know the extent of this Islamic regime and how wicked it is. These bombing raids will only add more gasolene to the already hot fire.
So, when will the war end?
😊 In the very recent article and post on Truth Social we learn. It is titled “TRUMP: ONLY IRAN’S UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER WILL END THE WAR”. US President Donald Trump asserted on Friday that only Iran’s “unconditional surrender” would end the war, promising to help rebuild the country’s economy if Tehran complied with his terms and appointed a new leadership. Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, “There will be no deal with Iran except unconditional surrender,” adding that he intends to “make Iran great again.”
In the article titled “WASHINGTON: THE WAR HAS JUST BEGUN… WE CONTROL THE SKIES AND WILL DESTROY THE IRANIAN NAVY. We learn the way with Iran has just begun unless certain negotiation conditions can be met. The US has already tried peaceful negotiations but were unsuccessful.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Dan Keane confirmed at a press conference held today in Washington that the United States is continuing military operations against Iran, pointing to US control of the airspace in the southern regions of the Iranian coast and targeting of the Iranian navy, with the aim of preventing Iran from rebuilding its military capabilities.
The two officials indicated that the war with Iran had just begun, and that the strengthening of combat capabilities was continuing
How does this war impact Iraq?
Changing the tide of Iranian proxy influence in Iraq:
We know that it did impact, at least in part, the decision of the Coordination Framework finally to dumb Maliki. This was a huge impact going forward for stability in Iraq. Also this regime change in Iran will greatly impact the readiness of Iraq to disband and disarm the Iranian militia. I find it ironic how many Iraqi leaders will say they do not want Iraqi involvement in this war, however they are already involved as Iranian drones attacked Kurdistan. It is funny how with Iraq the reality of Iran just won’t settle in most of their minds and they deny it. Are these middle eastern people all that warped? This war with Iran will put tremendous pressure on whoever is the next prime minister of Iraq to resolve this Iranian militia presence in Iraq.
We know that Iranian drone attacked Erbil city in Kurdistan creating many casualties. Where did these drones come from? They were launched from the Iranian militia base inside Iraq. Go figure why Trump wants these militia disarmed. Kurdistan is not letting reporters into the area as Iraq does not want to get caught up in the war and stay neutral. See article titled “BAGHDAD VOWS ZERO TOLERANCE FOR THREATS AGAINST TEHRAN”. In the article we learn that Iraq’s caretaker Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani affirmed on Wednesday that Baghdad will not permit any threats to arise from its territory against Tehran, during a phone conversation with Iran’s Foreign Minister.
😊 In the article titled “IRAQ TELLS US ENVOY IT SEEKS TO STAY OUT OF REGIONAL WAR”. We learn that Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein told the US chargé d’affaires Joshua Harris on Thursday that Iraq is working to avoid being drawn into the widening regional war, according to Iraq’s Foreign Ministry. He warned that the fighting threatens broader regional stability and said Baghdad is trying to keep the conflict from spilling into Iraq
Effects on Oil Supply and Iraqi revenues:
Also in article titled “AN ECONOMIST PROPOSES URGENT SOLUTIONS TO OVERCOME THE OIL FIELD SHUTDOWN CRISIS”we learn that Economic expert Mohammed Al-Hassani confirmed on Tuesday that the closure of some oil fields in Iraq due to full storage tanks and the deteriorating security situation in the Kurdistan Region, coinciding with the disruption of exports through the Strait of Hormuz, represents a complex financial challenge that threatens the cash flows of the state, which depends on more than 90% of oil revenues.
So, this war slowed down the export of Iraqi oil. What will this do to the CBI reserves if this war continues long enough? Iraq will need these reserves high for the reinstatement. So, here we go again like in 2020-2021…. ☹
In the article titled “SUDANI: WE WILL NOT ALLOW IRAQ TO BE DRAGGED INTO WAR”. We learn that “the Commander-in-Chief of the Iraqi Armed Forces, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, affirmed on Saturday the government’s commitment to protecting Iraq from any attempts to drag the country into armed conflicts, directing that any security shortcomings be held strictly accountable, coinciding with decisions that included major changes in the intelligence structure in Nineveh Governorate.”

PRAYING WITH SINCERITY
Many may ask why their prayers are not being answered. Our new Shepard in Rome Pope Leo XIV has given us some direction.
You can purchase a nice pair of Rosary Beads here to pray:
These prophecies are more important now more than ever. They give us the strength, perseverance and hope that a better time is coming and that God’s Hand is at work behind the scenes. If you just take a second even to look around you at these past three election cycles, how can you deny that God is at work? Are you sleeping or what?
It is amazing and there is no other way that these events could have happened the way they turned out. But there is more to come, much, much more, I assure you! Now that God has his biblical David re-elected, we need to pay attention to what He does next.
NOTE: These prophecies just keep getting better and better, giving us HOPE of a brighter future. But the real reason why I listen to them is that we can actually see what God says He will do is taking place right in front of our noses. It is a confirmation to me that God is real and is still with us forever just as in biblical times.

Fr. DON BOSCO EXPOSED THE DARK SECRET BEHIND ISLAM
— And the Truth the World Forgot about the so-called Muslim religion. Fr.Don Bosco, also known as John Bosco, was an Italian Catholic priest and educator, born on August 16, 1815. He founded the Salesian Society in 1859 to help disadvantaged youth, particularly boys, through education and community service. His teachings emphasized lovekindness, and the importance of education for young people, making him a beloved figure in Catholicism and a patron saint of youth. Don Bosco was canonized in 1934.
IRANIAN REGIME COLLAPSE APPEARS ‘RIGHT IN FRONT OF US’
CALLS FOR THE TRUMP ADMIN TO ‘FINISH’ IRAN’S MILITARY
Dumb founded, ridiculous and almost to a point of brainless allegations from some democrats politicians that Iran was not a threat to the US and so why attack it. These kinds of statements pose a deep question of whether the democrats actually know what the hell is going on in the middle east, at home and with the ongoing War Against Terrorism.
If I remember correctly, they are the party that let millions of illegal immigrants into the US through their UN Agenda 2030 open boarder policies. Along with the immigrant came unvetted militia terrorist groups. These groups could be triggered, and probably will be triggered, at sometime soon to conduct operations in the US.
What will the democrats have to say when their neighborhoods are attacked and innocent people are killing in their districts? What then? Will they continue with their dumb founded rhetoric. Of course, is all about hatred for Trump and not even thinking about the security of the US. I don’t know about you but I am getting a bit tired of this stupidity and rhetoric towards Trump. It has gotten to the point that it does not even make any common sense anymore. We are not that stupid!
Midterm voting is coming up and we must THINK, THINK about what party we want to present us. Is it a party of fantasy or a party of reality we want in these house seats?
IS THIS REALLY FREE SPEECH?
Do extreme liberal democrats have a mental issue? Are their brains infected with something that affects their ability to conduct cognitive thinking?
Really now we must wonder what is going on with these people. Or is it all just drama and intentional liberal bullshit to get social media and TV ratings? Or are they part of a larger conspiracy to bring down the US and the president that is trying to fix the mess the democrats keep leaving behind in the wake of losing the majority? If this is the case there should be new laws put in place to prohibit such nonsense. Is this really free speech when you spew such lies? Maybe its time to sensor “The View” and shut down this nonsensical TV show. Or it there a better solution?
One way we can do this is simply to boycott the view and shows like it and don’t watch them. Yes, a simple solution. Are you willing to do that? Are you also willing not to vote for these extreme liberals playing with you mind?
Yes, there are some simple tools we can use and they are part of the democratic process and they work. Look what just happened in Texas. Even Texans have had enough of Jasmine Crockett and Al Green, losing their primaries. Did Al Green actually think his stunt at the joint session of Trump’s SOTU was going to get him reelected? Again more drama for the TV audience. Oh how defiant he is of Trump. Does this hurt or help the country move ahead? Wait we will soon see his corruption come out too.
But again the democrat party liberal mindset (lack of common sense) voter pandering comes out again with yet more stupidity in selecting someone even worse off than Crockett as Extreme Liberal candidate James Talarico defeated her in the Senate Democratic primary race. Boy, oh boy please take the time to listen to Talarico’s victory speech.
WHAT WAS BARRACK OBAMA UP TO WITH IRAN? WAS HE JUST STUPID?
$56 Billion dollars returned to Iran of sanctioned money, under the Obama administration for doing nothing in return. I’d say that’s stupidity or a conspiracy.
THE TRUTH ABOUT PASSING THE ‘SAVE ACT‘
What the Senate RINO’s Aren’t Telling You that is holding up the passage of this bill before midterms. Of course they don’t want it passed since it will regulate how elections are held and they intend to cheat again and so they can’t have it. Glenn Beck does a wonderful job teaching us what is going on here with the so-called fillerbuster move by the democrats or is it the rhino republicans? Maybe a bit of both? Why?

WASHINGTON: THE WAR HAS JUST BEGUN… WE CONTROL THE SKIES AND WILL DESTROY THE IRANIAN NAVY.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Dan Keane confirmed at a press conference held today in Washington that the United States is continuing military operations against Iran, pointing to US control of the airspace in the southern regions of the Iranian coast and targeting of the Iranian navy, with the aim of preventing Iran from rebuilding its military capabilities.
The two officials indicated that the war with Iran had just begun, and that the strengthening of combat capabilities was continuing, noting a decrease in the number of Iranian missiles targeting the United States, while describing the Iranian attacks as random and inaccurate.
The most important points from the speech of the US Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, as translated by Network 964:
- From US Defense Secretary Hegseth:
The commander responsible for the attempt to assassinate Trump has been killed, and America is victorious in Iran.
The war with Iran has just begun, and we will increase our combat capabilities in the coming days. Iran cannot do anything about our control of its airspace. Only 4 days have passed and we still have time, and the results have been amazing, even historic.
- From Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff:
We are working to destroy the Iranian navy and ensure that Iran cannot rebuild its military capabilities. US Central Command maintains air superiority over the southern regions of the Iranian coast. Iran’s attacks are random and inaccurate.
We will now begin to expand inwards. The number of missiles launched by Iran has decreased as the war continues.

THE US SENATE SUPPORTS TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN AGAINST IRAN AND REJECTS A CEASEFIRE.
Amajority of US senators endorsed the military campaign ordered by President Donald Trump against Iran, in a move reflecting broad political support for the operation within Congress.
The council voted to block a draft resolution that aimed to end the war and required the US administration to obtain prior authorization from Congress before carrying out any hostilities against Iran.
In this context, White House spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt said that the American people support the decision to go to war against Iran, even though opinion polls indicate otherwise.
Levitt added during a press conference that US President Donald Trump believes that Americans stand with him on this decision.
She continued: “I think the president knows the country is smart enough to see through many of the fake news headlines that portray this action as unjustified.” However, several opinion polls showed widespread opposition to the war.
A CBS News/YouGov poll indicated that 54 percent of Americans oppose the war if it continues for several months. CNN reported that Trump’s advisers are working to limit the political fallout from conflicting messages about a war with Iran.

ENDING THE CONFRONTATION BETWEEN AMERICA AND IRAN DEPENDS ON THREE FACTORS… AND CONTAINING THE ESCALATION WILL BE “GRADUAL” – URGENT
The escalating military confrontation between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran is raising numerous concerns and fears that the conflict could spread to encompass the entire region or the world, while international parties have warned that World War III is imminent as a result of the continuation of these confrontations.
Military confrontation and decisive factors
Strategic affairs expert Abbas al-Jubouri confirmed on Wednesday (March 4, 2026) that “the date for the end of the military confrontation between Iran, the United States and Israel is linked to three crucial factors.”
Al-Jubouri tells Baghdad Today, “Setting a precise date for the end of any potential or existing military confrontation between Iran on one side, and the United States and Israel on the other, remains a complex matter that depends on changing political and military developments, and not on a fixed timetable.”
Balancing interests and military resolution
The expert in strategic affairs explains that “the nature of the conflict in the Middle East region differs from traditional wars, as it involves factors of military deterrence, economic pressures, and international diplomatic moves, which makes the end of any escalation more related to a balance of interests than to a direct military resolution.”
Al-Jubouri points out that “there are three main factors that may determine the timing of the end of the escalation:
1.The first is the unannounced political understandings, as major crises often end through indirect negotiation channels led by international or regional powers, where an agreement is reached on a gradual de-escalation in exchange for limited concessions from all parties.
2.The second is the level of economic and military losses, as the higher the cost of the confrontation for the concerned parties, the greater the likelihood of moving towards a de-escalation, especially in light of internal pressures and global public opinion.
3.The third is the role of international mediators, as major countries and international organizations play a pivotal role in imposing a de-escalation or launching political initiatives that prevent the conflict from turning into a long-term, comprehensive war.”

BAGHDAD VOWS ZERO TOLERANCE FOR THREATS AGAINST TEHRAN
Iraq’s caretaker Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani affirmed on Wednesday that Baghdad will not permit any threats to arise from its territory against Tehran, during a phone conversation with Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
In a statement, the Iranian Foreign Ministry noted that Al-Sudani condemned the attack on Tehran, describing it as a violation of international norms and ethical principles. He also extended condolences over the martyrdom of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, calling for an end to the war and a return to dialogue.
Araghchi, in turn, praised the Iraqi government, people, and authorities for their firm stance in condemning the strike, attributing regional insecurity to the policies of the US and Israel. He further urged all regional and Islamic countries to remain vigilant against what he described as a “malicious conspiracy” by Israel and the United States aimed at destabilizing the region.
On February 28, the United States and Israel carried out a series of airstrikes across Iran, causing significant damage, civilian casualties, and the killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei along with several commanders from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Iranian army.
Iran later retaliated, triggering widespread repercussions across eight countries, including Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia.
******************************************************************************************
SUDANI: WE WILL NOT ALLOW IRAQ TO BE DRAGGED INTO WAR
The Commander-in-Chief of the Iraqi Armed Forces, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, affirmed on Saturday the government’s commitment to protecting Iraq from any attempts to drag the country into armed conflicts, directing that any security shortcomings be held strictly accountable, coinciding with decisions that included major changes in the intelligence structure in Nineveh Governorate.
Al-Sudani’s remarks came during his visit to the Joint Operations Command headquarters, where he chaired an expanded security meeting immediately upon his arrival, in the presence of the Minister of Interior, the Chief of Staff of the Army, the Deputy Commander of Joint Operations, the Head of the Counter-Terrorism Service, the Secretary of the Commander-in-Chief, in addition to a number of leaders of military and security agencies and formations.
The media office of the Commander-in-Chief stated that the meeting included a comprehensive review of the security situation in various governorates, with a focus on current developments in the region and the repercussions of ongoing military operations on Iraq’s security and regional and international security.
During the meeting, Al-Sudani stressed “no leniency towards any attempt to embroil Iraq in war or threaten its stability,” affirming that the armed forces will continue to work to strengthen national security and protect the country’s higher interests.
In a speech addressed to security leaders, Al-Sudani said: “Your legitimate and legal responsibility requires you to put the interest of Iraq above all considerations, to commit to enforcing the law with the highest levels of readiness, and not to allow any party to drag the country into conflicts or destabilize it.”
The Commander-in-Chief also ordered that any entity or security element proven to have failed in performing its duties during this “sensitive phase” that Iraq and the region are going through be held accountable, directing that all efforts be mobilized to protect the security of the country and the interests of the people.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, issued a decision on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, to relieve all intelligence officials in the Nineveh Plains Operations Sector of their positions.
The Prime Minister’s Media Office stated in an official statement that this decision comes within the framework of close monitoring of the security file and the progress of operations in vital sectors, as the directive included relieving all intelligence leaders responsible for the aforementioned sector.
These moves and warnings come amid an unprecedented military escalation in the region, where the United States and Israel launched extensive air attacks on Iranian territory on Saturday morning, February 28, 2026, resulting in the deaths of a number of Iranian leaders.
Tehran responded immediately by launching missile barrages towards Israel, in addition to targeting a number of US military bases and facilities in countries of the region, raising fears of the entire region sliding into a full-blown war.

AL-MALIKI’S CANDIDACY WITHDRAWAL IS IMMINENT… THE COORDINATING FRAMEWORK IS PREPARING AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
The coordination framework in Iraq is putting the final touches on a statement expected to announce the withdrawal of its candidate for prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, amid an open regional war and rapid developments that are putting pressure on the political scene in Baghdad, amid a growing realization within the Shiite alliance that the continued controversy over the nomination may hinder the formation of the government at a sensitive moment internally and regionally, according to the “Eram News ” website.
The website stated in a report seen by Al-Sa’a Network, quoting its sources, that “the leaders of the framework seriously discussed the mechanism for withdrawing al-Maliki’s nomination in light of differences within the coalition regarding the most appropriate way to announce the decision.”
He added that “the discussions addressed several possible formulas for withdrawing the nomination, including issuing an official statement in the name of the Coordination Framework, or announcing the decision in agreement with the State of Law Coalition, in a way that preserves the balances within the alliance.”
He pointed out that “a message was received from Maliki during the consultations stating that the same coordinating framework should announce the withdrawal of the nomination, instead of issuing a direct statement from him, in a step aimed at keeping the decision within the collective framework of the alliance.”
(Mnt Goat: Again this proves Maliki is a gutless coward. He could have stepped down at any time to preserve the stability of the election and not let this drag on for months but he refuses. He wants to stay neutral and not face up to his horrendous record of 8 years as prime minister. He does not want this come to the surface so much. So, he stays in the background blaming the Coordination Framework.)
He explained that “many parties within the framework believe that resolving this issue may also be linked to the outcomes of the ongoing war in the region, because its results will affect the nature of the political balances in Iraq.“
(Mnt Goat: What will the Iranians in Iraq do if the Iranian regime falls, and it certainly looks that way today)
He explained that “if the regional balance of power changes, this may be reflected in the shape of the next government, whether in terms of the personality of the prime minister or the nature of the political understandings that will be formed within the coordination framework.”
He pointed out that “some forces within the framework believe that withdrawing al-Maliki’s nomination at the present time may not be an appropriate step, while other parties prefer to resolve the issue quickly to avoid complicating the political scene.”
These developments came after weeks of debate within the framework regarding the feasibility of keeping al-Maliki’s nomination, in light of reservations raised by political parties who believe that the current stage requires a less controversial figure capable of accelerating the government formation process, at a time when political and economic pressures on the country are increasing.
The discussion within the framework coincided with rapid regional developments following the outbreak of a large-scale military confrontation in the region, which brought back to the forefront the need for a government with full powers capable of making urgent economic and security decisions, in light of fears of direct repercussions on Iraq, whether in the energy sector or internal stability.

RIGHTS: KURDISH FORCES MUST QUICKLY NOMINATE A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TO END THE CRISIS
The spokesperson for the Parliamentary Rights Movement, Miqdad al-Khafaji, confirmed on Wednesday that the country is experiencing a worsening political, economic, and security crisis, stressing that the American-Zionist attacks constitute a serious violation of national autonomy. Speaking to the Information Agency, al-Khafaji said, “The current situation requires a responsible national stance,” adding that “the Kurdish forces must expedite the nomination of their candidate for the presidency to overcome the current stalemate and emerge from the crisis.”
He added that “the delay in resolving this constitutional entitlement negatively impacts the country’s stability and further complicates the political landscape,” noting that “the next phase requires a comprehensive national consensus that prioritizes Iraq’s interests above all else.”
Al-Khafaji emphasized that “protecting national autonomy and confronting external aggression must be the government and parliament’s top priority,” stressing that “nominating the president is a fundamental step in completing the constitutional process and ending the political deadlock.”
*********************************************************************************************
THE PATRIOTIC UNION OF KURDISTAN: THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR DELAYING THE SELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC.
Ahmed al-Harki, a member of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), confirmed on Tuesday the existence of escalating political activity aimed at resolving the issue of the presidency. He expressed his hope that this activity would translate into practical steps in the coming days leading to the selection of a president.
Speaking to the Information Agency, al-Harki said, “The coordination framework meeting held last Monday discussed this issue frankly,” urging the two Kurdish parties to expedite its resolution. He added that this is a significant indicator, especially given previous reports that some parties within the framework were unwilling to proceed with the matter before Nouri al-Maliki’s nomination for prime minister was finalized.
He pointed out that “the Kurdish forces are now required to take serious and responsible action that would break the political deadlock, accelerate the process of selecting a president, and translate political understandings into tangible reality in the coming phase.”
(Mnt Goat: As we know that the hold up of selecting a Kurdistan president has been done to intentionally delay the selection of Maliki for prime minister. Kurdistan is now waiting for the formal letter stating that the Coordination Framework as withdrawn him and then for the next candidate to be announced, which should be al-Sudani if the ruling of the Supreme Judiciary is enforced. Please see my 3/3/ Newsletter as I described the flow of events leading up the Maliki withdrawal and how it was orchestrate.)

IS THE COORDINATION FRAMEWORK HEADING TOWARDS EXTENDING THE SUDANESE GOVERNMENT?
The spokesman for the Victory Coalition, Salam al-Zubaidi, revealed on Tuesday that proposals and discussions are underway within the Coordination Framework and bilaterally regarding the possibility of extending the term of Mohammed Shia al-Sudani’s government for a specific period and granting it full powers to address the exceptional security circumstances facing Iraq and the region.
(Mnt Goat: This is not going to happen as the deadlines to form the government has already passed and the pressure is exerted on the largest block whether it be the al-Sudani party (largest number of votes) or the Coordination Framework (combined votes from multiple parties to create the so-called majority).
Al-Zubaidi told the Information Agency that “extending the current government’s term and granting it the necessary powers to manage this phase is possible,” explaining that the Coordination Framework, as the largest bloc capable of achieving a simple majority in the Council of Representatives, possesses the legal and political capacity to pass this decision should a final consensus be reached among its constituent forces.
(Yes, is legally possible but not practical and only extends the drama of picking another nominee for prime minister. I do not think the Judiciary is going to go a long with this idea.)
He added that “the idea of extending the term comes amidst escalating American-Zionist aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran, which imposes a dangerous security reality whose repercussions are not limited to neighboring countries but extend to the security of Europe and East Asia.”
Al-Zubaidi explained that “the sensitivity of the current stage and the involvement of Washington and the Zionist entity in destabilizing the region necessitate the presence of a stable government with full powers to guarantee the protection of Iraqi sovereignty and prevent any potential security lapses resulting from the ongoing conflict.”

AN ECONOMIST PROPOSES URGENT SOLUTIONS TO OVERCOME THE OIL FIELD SHUTDOWN CRISIS.
Economic expert Mohammed Al-Hassani confirmed on Tuesday that the closure of some oil fields in Iraq due to full storage tanks and the deteriorating security situation in the Kurdistan Region, coinciding with the disruption of exports through the Strait of Hormuz, represents a complex financial challenge that threatens the cash flows of the state, which depends on more than 90% of oil revenues.
Al-Hassani told Shafaq News Agency that “stopping production in major fields such as the Rumaila field or the northern fields doubles the daily losses, not only in terms of lost revenues, but also because of the technical costs of stopping and restarting the wells, as well as the risk of losing regular customers in Asian markets.”
He pointed out that “talking about (accelerating the sale) becomes of limited effectiveness in light of the disruption of one of the most important maritime routes, which necessitates focusing on financial and logistical alternatives, most notably using the temporarily available storage capacities to avoid closing more wells, in addition to the option of selling on credit by marketing future shipments with short-term contracts to secure immediate liquidity, which is a mechanism that allows the government to obtain advance payments in exchange for supplying subsequent quantities when exports resume, which helps to bridge the cash gap in the short term.”
