Abdul-Hussein said, "The improvement in oil prices in the global market is positive for the economies of the oil-producing countries, especially those that depend largely on oil in their budgets," noting that "the interest that Iraq derives during this year from the increase in oil prices will contribute to covering the budget deficit of 29 to 30 trillion dinars, if prices continue in this way until the end of the year.”
He added, "In the event that the price of a barrel of oil exceeds $77, this will contribute to achieving an abundance that is not very large, but will contribute positively to the state's general budget for the next year and will help the Iraqi government with the issue of repaying the loans on it."
Abdul-Hussein stated that "the current oil levels will provide, from now until the end of the year, surpluses that will help Iraq in the budget and achieve a financial abundance that the government cannot dispose of, except through a supplementary budget," ruling out "organizing a supplementary budget within the current data, but this abundance may be Next year, the government will help to repay the loans.” LINK

Samson: America delivers a strongly worded message to Iraqi figures: Our military response is close
7th July, 2021
On Wednesday, American diplomatic parties delivered a strongly worded message to specific Iraqi political figures, through government sources, after the bombing of Erbil International Airport and Ain Al-Assad base, by armed Shiite factions.
A government source told Shafaq News Agency, that the message included that Washington will have a close military response to armed factions involved in launching attacks against US interests and targets in Erbil and Anbar.
The international coalition announced that 3 people were injured in an attack with 14 missiles targeting the "Ain al-Assad" base in western Iraq, earlier today, Wednesday. Today's attack is the second of its kind, as the base was attacked with 3 Katyusha rockets last Monday. Also, yesterday evening, Tuesday, Erbil International Airport was attacked by a booby-trapped drone, without causing any damage.
It also comes a few days after US raids were launched on Iranian-backed factions' sites on the Syrian-Iraqi border, "in response to attacks by drones launched by those factions on Americans and American installations in Iraq."
About fifty attacks have targeted US interests in Iraq since the beginning of the year, including the US embassy in Baghdad and Iraqi military bases that include Americans, and the Baghdad and Erbil airports, as well as logistical convoys of the international coalition, in attacks often attributed to groups loyal to Iran.
