Iraq ‘seizes districts from IS’ in Tikrit advance

The BBC’s James Robbins: “It’s the biggest fightback yet against so-called Islamic State”

Iraqi government forces say they have retaken some districts around Tikrit in their fight to recapture the city from Islamic State (IS).

A force of about 30,000 troops and militia are said to be attacking on different fronts, backed by air strikes from Iraqi jets.

A commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards is taking part in the operation, a Shia militia commander told the BBC.

Tikrit, north of the capital Baghdad, fell to IS militants last June.

Security sources told the BBC that pro-government troops had seized control of the two districts of al-Tin, near Tikrit university north-east of the city, and the district of al-Abeid, in the west.

Earlier, fighting was also reported in al-Dour, south-east of Tikrit, as well as in al-Alam, north of the city, and nearby Qadisiya.

There were few details of the operation but army and medical sources were quoted as saying that five soldiers and 11 militia fighters had been killed.

The Pentagon said that the US was not providing any air power in support of the operation.

A senior official told reporters: “This is Iraq, this is their country, their military, their fight against Isil (IS).”

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi declared the start of the operation late on Sunday, as tens of thousands of troops and militia massed in the central town of Samarra.

Tikrit, in Salahuddin province, lies on the road to Mosul – Iraq’s second city which was also seized by IS last year.

Correspondents say the current operation is crucial to any Iraqi plans to retake Mosul.

Analysis by Jim Muir, BBC Middle East Correspondent

There were early claims of rapid advances being made as government forces pushed towards Tikrit from several directions.

But previous assaults on the militants there have been beaten back despite claims of victory by the state forces, so it will be some time before the fate of this latest offensive becomes clear.

It is a battle of great importance. Both the Iraqi prime minister and the Americans have been heralding an even more significant push in the coming months to recapture the biggest city in northern Iraq, Mosul, which also fell to IS last June.

That campaign would be thrown into doubt if the government fails at Tikrit, which controls the strategic highway linking the south with the north.

Iraqi forces are being helped by Iran’s Gen Qasem Soleimani, commander of the Revolutionary Guard’s Quds Force, Iranian and Iraqi media reported.

Since the IS advance across Iraq last summer, Gen Soleimani has personally overseen the defence of Baghdad and helped to organise pro-Iranian Shia militia.

He has been pictured visiting the front lines north of the capital on several occasions

Tikrit is the hometown of deposed leader Saddam Hussein and was seized last year by IS militants backed by anti-government Sunni allies loyal to Saddam’s banned Baath party.

Iraq is split between a Sunni Muslim minority, many of whom supported Saddam Hussein, and the Shia Muslim majority.

Since Saddam was toppled, Sunnis have felt increasingly marginalised by the Shia-led government in Baghdad.

Shia militia have done much of the fighting against IS militants – who adhere to an extreme interpretation of Sunni Islam – but have also been accused of killing scores of Sunni civilians in apparent revenge attacks.

On Sunday, Mr al-Abadi offered to pardon all Sunni tribal fighters “who have been misled or committed a mistake to lay down arms” and abandon IS.

He described it as a “last chance”, saying that the city of Tikrit would soon be returned to its people.

IS militants hold several areas of Salahuddin, a predominantly Sunni Muslim province.

bank-iraq77

BAGHDAD / Ibrahim Saleh / Anatolia:

Iraqi Oil Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi, said that his ministry will ask the government to issue treasury bonds (Treasury) worth $ 12 billion broadcast reassuring foreign oil companies that will reach their dues by the end of this year to 27 billion dollars.
He said Finance Minister Hoshyar Zebari on Thursday, said that the Iraqi Central Bank’s foreign exchange reserves fell to reach $ 68 billion is due to the financial crisis plaguing the country, which means the decline of about $ 9.7 billion from the level at the end of 2013, a decline of 12.5%.
He said Abdul-Mahdi, in a press statement, obtained by Anatolia, a copy of it, that monitor the budget to repay foreign oil companies hardly covers dues accumulated from last year 2014 of up to $ 9 billion, indicating that the problems that emerged after the formation of the government Tmthelta accumulation of dues companies and the collapse of oil prices.
He predicted the IMF last month, that the deficit in the Iraqi budget is increasing to 6.1% in the current year, up from 4.9% last year.

He said Iraq’s oil minister, that the benefits of foreign companies during 2014 have accumulated about $ 9 billion, indicating that the dues for 2015 estimated at up to $ 4.5 billion for each chapter of the four seasons of the year, or about $ 18 billion.
And this recognizes the Iraqi Oil Ministry, receivables accumulated, while said last January, it is the city for foreign companies “entrepreneurship” (which holds the development and maintenance of oil fields in the country) operations of any sums of money, and that the relationship with those good companies and trusting, what led to the work programs and budgets for the year 2015, according to the comprehensive development plans for all oil fields in the country without any reduction, noting that the amounts actually received by these companies (arrears), had been agreed upon receipt of equivalent crude oil.

Iraq relies on oil imports to finance 95% of the budget, the country produces about 2.5 million barrels per day, with expectations to increase production to 4 million barrels per day.
He denied Abdul-Mahdi, according to the statement, allegations talked about the ministry negotiate agreements to convert development of oil fields in previous years to decades or post it to negotiate the granting of new oil patches on the basis of participation contracts.
Since 2009, Iraq entered into service with global energy companies to develop oil fields in decades after years of stagnation due to the embargo and war.
He said Iraq’s oil minister, said that the talk about joint ventures did not exceed the founding companies of the government stake in partnership with national companies or foreign in all business related to the development and marketing of oil, citing the example of a Basra Gas Company, where government partner retains 51% of the shares of the company and maintains Shell and Mitsubishi to 49% of the shares.
The Iraqi government relies on oil contracts to raise the country’s output of crude to around 8 million barrels per day in the next few years.
Said Abdul-Mahdi, according to the statement, that he was making some adjustments to some of the companies decades before the formation of the current government, where the peak of production and the proportion of government partner to 5% instead of 25% reduced rates and extended the time periods for decades.
He added that the ministry negotiation companies are now in the direction of the return of the government partner’s share of between 20 to 25%, as well as to discuss the production programs and rates peak periods execution of contracts, etc., not to mention improve motivation among companies on the one hand, and reduce the financial burden on the state of the other.
The work in Iraq is currently about 17 global investment company and from different nationalities (American, British, Italian, Russian, Malaysian and Chinese) to develop producing oil fields and explored, and that under the contracts in the first licensing rounds and the second, third, fourth, and is obliged to invest their money to raise production capacity, that the government is committed to to pay 50% of the funds disbursed annually, supplemented by earnings at a rate of $ 1.5 for each extra barrel.
And spent companies during the past two years, about $ 43 billion, the government must pay $ 21.5 billion, in addition to 5.5 billion profit, so the total owed $ 27 billion, and these investments have contributed to an increase of production of about one million barrels, was built huge facilities enjoy all luxury items where lives of thousands of foreign experts.
He said Iraq’s oil minister, according to the statement, that there are proposals to link corporate profitability by oil prices and not just a lump sum for each additional barrel, and so are their profitability with high oil prices and fall with the price declines, A second proposal, linking profitability by reducing costs to prevent the accumulation of dues to companies.
It is expected that international oil companies contracting continue to implement their investment plans to invest about $ 87 billion until 2016, that is to invest $ 27 billion in the current year and 60 billion next year.
The total investment by international oil companies in Iraq has reached $ 17 billion in 2011 and 2012, the government paid them nearly ten billion over the amounts of oil, and thus the total investment over the period of six years (2011 2016) about $ 147 billion.
And has made Iraq’s oil exports rose slightly last February to a record 2.597 million barrels per day compared to the export of 2,560 last January.
Iraq seeks to raise its oil exports by adding 550 thousand barrels per day after the recent agreement between the central government and the region of northern Iraq.
Iraq is facing an economic crisis that forced him to reduce the size of the financial budget as a result of lower oil prices to below $ 50 a barrel and start a policy of austerity, while the Ministry of Finance announced last month that it would increase taxes on some of the services provided.
Oil prices have lost more than 50% of its value since the middle of 2014 until the end of January last, with prices close to the lowest level in 6 years.
Iraqi Council of Representatives approved the end of last month for the 2015 budget of the country after reducing expenses by about 4 trillion Iraqi dinars ($ 3.43 billion) to reach 119 trillion Iraqi dinars ($ 102 billion) and a deficit of 25 trillion dinars ($ 21.4 billion).
