Finally, “Carrefour” will open in Baghdad.. The international chain has ended its hesitation
It may not be a passing commercial event in Baghdad.. The international shopping chain “Carrefour” – which has been reluctant for years to enter the Iraqi market – has made up its mind and is actually preparing to open two branches in the capital.
The first will be in the Jadriya area within the “Jadriya Mall,” and the second within the Bismayah Mall complex. According to information obtained by the 964 network from various sources, the opening of the chain of markets in Al-Harithiya Mall has been withdrawn, because “Carrefour” needs a very large space that “Al-Harithiya” did not provide.
He already got what he wanted, as he acquired the largest part of the area of Al-Jadriya Mall, which will also include a group of branches of international agencies, while the chain’s branch in Bismaya will also obtain a large area within the mall of the residential complex, and Al-Jadriya Mall was scheduled to open.
It was strange that the local authorities in Baghdad agreed to open “Carrefour” in Jadriya…the most crowded area of Baghdad. Usually, the authorities oblige the “Carrefour” chain to open its branches in areas far from city centers, to contribute to the revitalization of remote areas and eliminate traffic congestion, especially since the crowding “Carrefour” is a certainty due to the easy and unique shopping experience it provides, the competitive offers and prices, the way products are presented, and the quality standards supervised by teams of international experts.

Carrefour is a French international supermarket chain with five branches in the Kurdistan region of Iraq (5 branches in Erbil, a branch in Sulaymaniyah, and another in Dohuk), and provides a wide range of home, food and other shopping options to the consumer.
Carrefour was scheduled to open a branch in Baghdad Mall in the Al-Harithiya area in the center of the capital, but the lack of suitable spaces prevented this, which prompted those responsible for the chain’s affairs in Iraq to search for alternative locations, indicating the possibility that the chain may have a third branch and perhaps A fourth in Baghdad soon. ink
Canadian oil replaces Iraqi crude on the American West Coast
Refineries on the West Coast of the United States intend to replace their imports of heavy Iraqi oil with cheaper crude from Canada, at a time when the newly expanded “T---s Mountain” line is re-arranging trade flows across the Pacific Ocean, according to what Bloomberg reported.
California and Washington are scheduled to import about 150,000 barrels per day of Canadian crude via tankers in June, representing a seven-fold increase in average volumes, according to preliminary data from Vortexa. At the same time, their imports of Iraqi “Basra Heavy” crude are expected to decrease to 3,587 barrels per day, from 76,000 barrels last May.
The T---s Mountain expansion, which began in May, transports 590,000 barrels per day of crude from the Canadian oil sands to Vancouver for export. This is likely to be an advantage for refiners on the US West Coast, which would otherwise pay several dollars more per barrel to buy Iraqi crude.
As Canadian imports to the US West Coast rise, shipments of Brazilian medium-sulfur TUPI oil, as well as Basra Heavy crude, decline.
Alberta’s heavy West Canadian Standard crude is trading about $13 cheaper than U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude, or about $67 a barrel, according to Bloomberg’s general index pricing. Basra Heavy crude is trading about $5.55 cheaper than benchmark Brent crude, or more than $80 per barrel. link

In preparation for the American withdrawal.. Iraq allocates billions to secure its airspace and develop its weapons capabilities
Iraq is seeking to build its military system by purchasing new weapons from several countries, including European and Asian countries, as well as Russia, especially in the field of air defense and radars, while specialists indicate that the number of combat aircraft is insufficient to secure the airspace and carry out strikes against hostile targets, especially since the country It owns large areas of desert.
Iraq began sending technical and military committees to several countries to contract for the purchase of anti-aircraft weapons, which indicates a desire to complete the construction of its air system to enhance the security of its skies and prepare for a future American withdrawal, as Iraq currently possesses 95 combat aircraft of American, Russian, South Korean and Czech origins.
Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani announced the allocation of five trillion dinars ($3.826 billion), including three trillion ($2.295 billion) in the current year’s budget to enhance weapons capabilities and develop the armament of Iraqi forces of all types.
Although Iraq has a number of combat aircraft fleets, it is still considering purchasing new aircraft, especially the French “Rafale” aircraft, as it seems that Iraq is interested in developing its air capabilities and strengthening its military relations with the French side through signing a contract with the “Thales” company. France in July 2022 to provide it with advanced “long-range” GM400 radars as part of a federal government effort to strengthen Iraq’s air sovereignty, a number of which were installed in parts of Iraq.
Iraq seeks to strengthen this relationship with new arms contracts, including the purchase of advanced Rafale aircraft to enhance its military capabilities and impose its sovereignty.
Iraq currently has 95 combat aircraft of American, Russian, South Korean and Czech origin, all of which were contracted by the country after 2003. However, according to specialists, this number is insufficient to secure Iraqi airspace and carry out strikes against hostile targets, especially since the country owns large areas of desert.
Technical and military committees
According to a statement by the spokesman for the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Major General Yahya Rasool, last March, Iraq is determined to complete the radar system in general, while announcing the sending of technical and military committees to several countries to contract for the purchase of anti-aircraft weapons, which indicates Iraq’s desire to complete the construction of its system.
Air Force forces to enhance the security of its skies and prepare for a future American withdrawal. However, experts in the security and military field believe that the needs of the security forces are vast and require huge sums of money, and that the amounts allocated are not sufficient.

Rafale aircraft
Security and strategic specialist Maan Al-Jubouri explains that the budget set by the Iraqi government is insufficient and does not meet Iraq’s military needs, while he stressed the need to pay attention to purchasing French “Rafale” aircraft.
Al-Jubouri said, “Iraq’s need is very great, especially with regard to air defenses, as it is not possible to control and protect the skies of any country without having high capabilities for air defenses that remove the danger of attacks on the country,” noting that air defenses are concerned with protecting land and aircraft.
The military that carries out its military tasks, whether fighting t-------m or defending borders. He stressed the need for Iraq to have a capable air defense that includes a surface-to-air missile system and a radar system, which will therefore form a strategic cover for Iraqi territory, stressing the need for Iraq to acquire large, modern radars that cover a wide geographical area of Iraqi skies, thus monitoring any movement from any region inside Iraq. .
Radars and drones
He pointed out the importance of radars to completely cover Iraqi space in all aspects, and to prevent any breach that the enemy might exploit, and this is one of the important foundations. He called for bringing drones and advanced technological equipment such as night goggles, surveillance towers, and thermal cameras, as well as electronic devices, and these are the priorities of any force. Military.
He called for contracting modern aircraft such as the Rafale, considering that it is a capable aircraft with very high specifications, and therefore we can invest in its potential, explaining that concluding such a deal will strengthen the Iraqi air force and the operations carried out by the armed forces, especially since Iraq has pilots.
They have high experience and must be trained on these aircraft, as is the case with the F-16 aircraft. This is important in diversifying the sources of armament and not relying on one country. link
