LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

July 20, 2021

Heather Cox Richardson

Today, the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Eastern District of New York indicted three men for illegally influencing the foreign policy positions of a presidential candidate and then, after the election, of the United States government.

They were acting in the interests of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a wealthy country in the Persian Gulf. The candidate was Donald Trump, and one of the three men was his ally Thomas Barrack. Another was Matthew Grimes, a 27-year-old employee who reported to Barrack. The third was UAE citizen Rashid al-Malik Alshahhi, who lived in California until 2018, leaving abruptly after the FBI interviewed him about the case.

The return of Barrack to the news recalls the outsized influence of foreign actors in the previous administration, and how U.S. policy appeared to change to suit their interests. On Twitter, Mark Mazetti of the New York Times wrote: “One of the mysteries of Trump's first six months was why the administration came out of the gate so hot for Saudi and UAE—with Trump traveling to Saudi Arabia and then going along with the Qatar blockade. The Tom Barrack indictment explains a lot.”

A billionaire private equity real-estate investor and longtime ally of Trump, Barrack was a key fundraiser for Trump’s campaign, which he advised between April and November 2016. In June 2018, New York Times reporter David D. Kirkpatrick wrote a profile of Barrack, explaining that he is the son of Lebanese immigrants to Los Angeles and so grew up speaking Arabic, which helped him do business and make contacts in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Barrack got to know Trump in the real estate world of the 1980s, and by 2010, he acquired $70 million of Jared Kushner’s debt and retired enough of it to keep Kushner from bankruptcy. When Trump launched his 2016 campaign with anti-Muslim rhetoric, Barrack calmed his Middle East contacts down, assuring them that Trump was simply using hyperbole.

Barrack urged Trump to hire Paul Manafort—fresh from his stint working for a Ukrainian oligarch—and served as chair of Trump’s inaugural committee. Grimes and Barrack proposed to contacts in the UAE that it should use “its vast economic surplus to obtain a level of influence…which the country should rightfully command.” They suggested it should use financial investments to “increase [its] influence with USA and European governments and people.”

A final draft of their proposal explained that “[w]hile the primary purpose of the platform [will be] to achieve outsized financial returns, it will also…garner political credibility for its contributions to the policies of [the recently elected Candidate, hereinafter, the ‘President-Elect’]....We will do so by sourcing, investing, financing, operationally improving, and harvesting assets in those industries which will benefit most from a [President-Elect] Presidency.”

Barrack’s investment firm raised more than $7 billion between 2016 and 2018, 24% of it from either the UAE or Saudi Arabia.

According to today’s charges, once Trump was in office, Barrack continued to lobby for the UAE until April 2018. He allegedly worked with allies in the UAE to draft passages of Trump’s speeches, hone press materials, and prepare talking points to promote UAE interests. Without ever registering as a foreign agent, he worked to change U.S. foreign policy and appoint administration officials to meet a “wish list” produced by UAE officials.

Barrack helped to tie the Trump administration to Saudi Arabia and the UAE, turning the US away from Qatar, an ally that hosts US air bases (although they are now being closed as bases and in the process of becoming housing for our Afghan allies before their US visas come through). From the beginning, the administration worked closely with Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed, who controls $1.3 trillion in sovereign wealth funds and essentially rules the UAE, and with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), whom Prince Mohammed championed.

In May 2017, Trump advisers Jared Kushner and Steve Bannon, along with Saudi and UAE leaders, met without the knowledge of then–Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to talk about blockading Qatar. When Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, and Egypt launched a blockade on June 5, 2017, Trump cheered them on, although the State Department took a neutral stand and the Pentagon thanked Qatar for hosting US troops.

Today, prosecutors said that Barrack provided foreign government officials “with sensitive non-public information about developments within the Administration, including information about the positions of multiple senior United States government officials with respect to the Qatari blockade conducted by the UAE and other Middle Eastern countries.”

They say he also "met with and assisted senior leaders of the KSA [Kingdom of Saudi Arabia], a close ally of the UAE."

In May 2019, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declared an emergency to bypass congressional oversight of an $8 billion arms sale to Saudi Arabia and the UAE. After the UAE signed onto the Abraham Accords, normalizing relations with Israel, the U.S. sold them another $23 billion of arms, including 50 F-35 advanced fighter planes.

Barrack and Grimes were arrested this morning in California.

When announcing the arrests, William F. Sweeney, Jr., Assistant Director-in-Charge of the FBI’s New York Field Office, said, “American citizens have a right to know when foreign governments, or their agents, are attempting to exert influence on our government. This is especially important to Americans during a Presidential election year, and the laws on the books were created to protect our nation from such untoward influence. This case is about secret attempts to influence our highest officials.”

Acting Assistant Attorney General of the Justice Department’s National Security Division Mark J. Lesko said, “Through this indictment, we are putting everyone—regardless of their wealth or perceived political power—on notice that the Department of Justice will enforce the prohibition of this sort of undisclosed foreign influence.”

Acting U.S. Attorney Jacquelyn M. Kasulis said, “These arrests serve as a warning to those who act at the direction of foreign governments without disclosing their actions, as well as those who seek to mislead investigators about their actions, that they will be brought to justice and face the consequences.”

Prosecutors warned that Barrack was a flight risk because of his wealth, private jet, and “deep and longstanding ties to countries that do not have extradition treaties with the United States”: Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.

Barrack’s lawyer says that Barrack “has made himself voluntarily available to investigators from the outset,” possibly indicating a willingness to flip.

A judge has ordered Barrack be held in custody until a bail hearing on Monday.

Oman VAT - Do you know what is going to happen to the business in Oman after 16 April 2020 ?

What is OMAN VAT! Do you know what is going to happen to the business in Oman after 16 April 2020? If not aware yet, use this opportunity to understand the Tax Law which is going to be introduced in the Sultanate of Oman by the Royal Decree No.121/2020 to implement VAT in Oman at 5% from April 2021. VAT and Business: Everyone in the business has to have a basic understanding of Tax law before it actually comes into practice. The law passed in Oman is going to impact every business from small scale to medium and large scale. From the smallest shops in the village Sumhan, Barkka to the very big multinational hypermarket brand Carrefour and Lulu in Muscat, Salalah, Sohar, Nizwa, and other states is going to see the change in the billing and pricing. VAT is becoming the new normal in the Gulf and which started from the countries like UAE, Saudia, and Bahrain first, and now that is going to be a reality in the Sultanate of Oman too. As VAT has already been introduced to 3 other GCC countries such as UAE, KSA since 2018 and Bahrain in the year 2019, Oman is going to be the 4th country to introduce the VAT in this coming new year, 2021 in almost the same way with few differences and specification. First of all, it’s going to be applicable all over the Sultanate of Oman, and its impact is going to be visible in all the major states like Muscat, Sohar, Salalah, Nizwa, Sur, Ibra, and Baraka, only named few states, and all the villages of Oman in multiple ways and the registration process is going to start by January 2021, and the VAT law will be effective from April 2021, and the filing of the first return is to be in the month of June 2021, according to recent news reports and notification published in the official website of Oman Tax Authority. 5% VAT in Oman Most of the goods and services come under the 5 % rate and this rate is becoming a symbol of the tax rate in Oman. Even then, there are services and goods with zero rates like Some Foodstuff, and Medicine and medical equipment, and Export of goods to a destination outside Oman, and Re-exporting of Goods that have been temporarily imported into Oman, and Supply of goods to or within customs duty suspension, and Export of services to a Customer outside Oman, except covered under exceptions, and International Transport and related services, and supply of investment gold, silver, and platinum, and Sea, Air and Land mean of transport used for commercial transport and related goods and services, and Supply of rescue aircraft, rescue boats, and auxiliary ships, Supply of crude oil and its oil derivatives, and natural gas. There are services and goods under exempted categories like Financial services, and Provision of health care, and associated goods and services, and Provision of education, and associated goods and services, and on Undeveloped lands (bare lands), and The resale of residential real estate, and Local passenger transport, and Renting real estate for residential purposes. Oman VAT Registration process

The process of Oman VAT registration is expected to start in January 2021 in all the states of Oman from southern states like Salalah to northern states like Kasab and Musandam. No place and no business is free from VAT law directly or indirectly, so everyone irrespective of their kind of business, and the variety of product and services, and nationality they belong to has to be aware of the law and the VAT registration process in advance to be better prepared. The mandatory registration threshold of Oman Vat is likely to be Omani Rial (OMR) 38,500, and the voluntary registration to be set at OMR 19,250 yearly. Few features of Oman VAT are the Exemption from VAT registration for those businesses making wholly zero-rated supplies, and the Businesses having multiple entities within the same corporate group can form a VAT group for their convenience, and Businesses with no place of residence and registered address in Oman will have to compulsorily seek VAT registration if they make any taxable supplies or sales of good and services in anywhere in the territory of Oman. VAT Penalty for Defaulter As Oman is a very systematic and automated country in many of the daily administration and operations, VAT law is also going to introduce most IT-enabled ways, and where strict adherence is enabled by implementing strict penalty provisions in case of violation of non-fulfillment of VAT obligations. Some of the points are significant to mention here, such as a business owner who deliberately does not register for VAT under the prescribed format and within the specified period is punishable with one to three years imprisonment or with a fine of 5,000 OMR to 20,000 OMR. The challenging period for every businessman after the Corona pandemic in the whole Gulf and especially in Oman is visible and a reality. In addition to that, non-fulfillment of necessary taxation requirements in the form of VAT registration and update of the accounting system under professionals may bring more difficult time ahead. So it is highly recommended to follow the professional advice to make the business strong and systematic with available expertise and resources and be prepared well in advance to accept Oman VAT as an opportunity to scale up the business to a higher level.

Covid-19: Dubai cancels flights to Iran over coronavirus fears

Dubai has cancelled all flights to and from Iran until further notice amid fears of rising number of infected cases of COVID-19. A Dubai Airports spokesperson said the suspension is based on directives from the UAE's General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA).

Saudi Arabia drone attack sets off oil fires; Trump calls prince

CLOSE

Drones claimed by Yemen’s Houthi rebels attacked the world’s largest oil processing facility in Saudi Arabia and a major oilfield operated by Saudi Aramco early Saturday, sparking a huge fire at a processor crucial to global energy supplies. (Sept. 14) AP, AP

Drones launched by Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi rebels hit key Saudi Arabian oil installations Saturday, setting off fires at a major oil processing facility and oilfield, according to Saudi and rebel officials.

The facilities are operated by Saudi Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s state-owned oil giant, and produce up to 70% of the country’s crude oil output.

Rising smoke from the fires at the sites could be seen by satellites in space.

President Donald Trump discussed the attacks with Saudi Crown Prince bin Salman in a phone call Saturday to “offer his support for Saudi Arabia’s self-defense,” according to White House deputy press secretary Judd Deere.

“The United States strongly condemns today’s attack on critical energy infrastructure,” Deere said. “Violent actions against civilian areas and infrastructure vital to the global economy only deepen conflict and mistrust. The United States Government is monitoring the situation and remains committed to ensuring global oil markets are stable and well supplied.”

The official Saudi Press Agency, quoting an an interior ministry spokesperson, said the fires at the facilities in Abqaiq and Khurais were under control. The ministry confirmed that the blazes erupted after the facilities were hit by drones around 4 a.m.

The Wall Street Journal, quoting “people familiar with the matter,” reported that Saudi Arabia is shutting down about half of its oil output following the strikes.

The shutdown would amount to a loss of about 5 million barrels a day, the Journal said, quoting its source, or roughly 5% of the world’s daily production of crude oil. 

The attack had no immediate impact on global oil prices as markets were closed for the weekend, the Associated Press reports. Benchmark Brent crude had been trading at just above $60 a barrel.

U.S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia John Abizaid said on Twitter that Washington “strongly” condemned the attacks.

“These attacks against critical infrastructure endanger civilians, are unacceptable and sooner or later will result in innocent lives being lost,” he wrote.

Earlier this year: Saudi Arabia says its oil infrastructure attacked by drones

In a short address aired by the Houthi’s Al-Masirah satellite news channel, military spokesman Yahia Sarie said the rebels launched 10 drones in their coordinated attack on the sites after receiving “intelligence” support from those inside the kingdom. He warned that attacks by the rebels would only get worse if the war continues.

“The only option for the Saudi government is to stop attacking us,” Sarie said.

Saturday’s drone attack was only the latest against the Saudi oil infrastructure by Houthi rebels who are themselves in a war against a Saudi-led coalition aided by U.S. logistical and intelligence assistance.

Since the start of the war in 2015, Houthi rebels have been using drones in combat. The first appeared to be off-the-shelf, hobby-kit-style drones. Later, versions nearly identical to Iranian models turned up. Iran denies supplying the Houthis with weapons, although the U.N., the West and Gulf Arab nations say Tehran does.

In August, a Houthi-claimed attack sparked a fire at Aramco’s Shaybah natural gas liquefaction facility but no casualties were reported by the company, Al Jazeera reports.

The rebels hold Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, and other territory in the Arab world’s poorest country. Since 2015, a Saudi-led coalition has fought to reinstate the internationally recognized Yemeni government.

The war has generated the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, pushing the country to the edge of famine and killed more than 90,000 people since 2015, according to the U.S.-based Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project, which tracks the conflict.

Saudi Aramco describes its Abqaiq oil processing facility in Buqyaq as “the largest crude oil stabilization plant in the world.”

The facility turns sour crude oil into sweet crude, then sends it to transshipment points on the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea or to refineries for local production. It can process and estimated 7 million barrels of crude oil a day, or around 70% of Saudi Arabia’s recent daily output of more than 9 million barrels of crude oil a day.

The plant has been targeted in the past by militants. Al-Qaeda-claimed suicide bombers tried but failed to attack the oil complex in February 2006.

The Khurais oil field is believed to produce over 1 million barrels of crude oil a day. It has estimated reserves of over 20 billion barrels of oil, according to Aramco.

Gulf Crisis

let me recap to you all what the freak happened between KSA and the rest of the ratchet GCC cutting ties with Qatar. 

Now normally, if you live in the states and have no connection to the middle east, this won’t affect you, which is why it isn’t a huge deal on western media. However, for people who rely on the middle east and have strong ties to it, IT AFFECTS YOU A LOT. 

I had booked a flight last week to go to my cousin’s wedding in Dubai. The connecting flight was through Doha, Qatar on Qatar Airways. We prefer Emirates because it’s better quality and goes directly to Dubai, but it was expensive at the time so we opted for the cheaper, Qatar Airways. 

Last night, KSA and a few other Gulf states decided to sever ties between Qatar in an effort to deter terrorism, citing Qatar as aiding the Muslim Brotherhood (which I’m honestly not sure of, but whatevs). The last time they did this, was in 2014 and it occurred for 9 months. However, at that time, all Qatari residents were able to stay in the other Gulf states, food imports/exports were not affected, and nor were air travel (specifically involving Qatar Airways). This time, they banned any Qatari flight from entering any of the Gulf countries AND Saudi (because of it’s private air space and not being part of IATA) banned Qatar from entering their air space, which followed with the UAE doing the same. All UAE flights into Qatar were banned. BASICALLY IT WAS A MESS AND IT’S STILL A MESS.

I booked my flight through Qatar, like I said before. Everything would be fine (except for the fact that the flight time would increase because of Qatar Air having to reroute through Iranian air space) until I reached Doha and tried to connect to Dubai. Upon attempting to connect to Dubai, I would have to change flights. This was not a problem for me because Qatar Airways was paying for it, however, when I called my travel agency, they had no idea what to do and what flight to put me on. The entire day was spent with me on the phone with Qatar and my travel agency. Call wait times with Qatar were literally an hour before someone picked up, only to be confused as what to do with my ticket. I finally called my travel agency and made the decision to request a refund. They refunded me in full and I ended up putting $300 more into an Emirates flight. 

Needless to say, KSA is getting on my last nerves, as is the rest of the Gulf states. They have no right to create tensions between their Muslim neighbors in Ramadan and cut off millions of people coming into their country for Umrah and Hajj on Qatar Airways. Umrah groups of 40-50 people had to have their Qatar flights redirected onto Turkish Airways in an effort to bypass Doha. A lot of people who opted for the reroute option instead of the refund ended up having flight times of 33+ hours because of so many connections to avoid Doha. Also, Qatar depends on KSA for 40% of their food. It’s insane that they will now have to depend on Iran to ship that in because KSA closed all ports. I’m so incredibly disappointed in these Muslim leaders. They appear to act blindly and assume that there will be no repercussions from God. 

Qatar, my heart is with you.

Saudi Railway Company resumes work post-lockdown

DUBAI: Saudi Arabia’s airline {industry} is stirring again to life as Gulf nations ease the restrictions carried out to curb the unfold of the coronavirus.

The Kingdom has introduced a timetable for the resumption of home flights by way of nationwide carriers from Sunday.

About 100 flights are as a consequence of take off in a phased return to regular, Minister of Transport Eng. Saleh bin Nasser Al-Jasser mentioned on Saturday.

The Kingdom’s Common Authority for Civil Aviation (GACA), of which Al-Nasser can be chairman, earlier mentioned it had accomplished operational preparations to regularly raise the suspension.

In accordance with the Saudi Press Company, GACA has issued a vacationers’ information that features precautionary measures for airports and security guidelines that passengers should observe.

Nevertheless, specialists warning that these developments shouldn’t be mistaken for full restoration, including that the airline {industry} faces an uphill battle to return to regular operations and sound monetary well being.

Saudi Arabia halted worldwide flights from March 15 and home flights from March 21 in response to the outbreak of COVID-19 infections.

THE NUMBER

$7.2 billion

The revised 2020 KSA airline income, a 35% 2019-2020 income distinction.

The suspension affected not solely airways but additionally airport operators, airport on-site enterprises akin to eating places and retail companies, plane producers, and air navigation service suppliers.

Within the Gulf Cooperation Council bloc, shutdowns have imperiled the livelihoods of 1000’s of nationals and expatriates.

Given the rising position that air journey and tourism was enjoying as a part of Saudi Arabia’s financial diversification plans, the pandemic has proved a traditional double whammy.

Predictably, the Worldwide Air Transport Affiliation (IATA) — the commerce affiliation for the world’s airways — has known as for industry-specific monetary aid measures from the Saudi authorities.

IATA measures the financial impression of an occasion by jobs, spending generated by airways and their provide chain, commerce flows, tourism and funding ensuing from customers of all airways serving the nation, in addition to the connections to different cities by way of the identical airline that make these flows attainable.

“All provide a different but illuminating perspective on the importance of air transport,” the affiliation acknowledged in a report entitled “The Importance of Air Transport to Saudi Arabia.”

The Kingdom launched aid measures for the personal sector within the wake of the pandemic, however IATA estimates that revenues generated by airways within the Saudi market will drop by $7.2 billion in 2020 — 35 % beneath their 2019 ranges.

“In response to the impact of COVID-19, the Saudi government has introduced broad economic relief measures in excess of $32 billion in financial support for the private sector,” IATA mentioned in an announcement.

“It has also provided support for air transport by suspending the airport slot use rules for the summer season and extending licenses and certifications for crew, trainers and examiners.”

IATA added: “We urge the government to build on this and implement specific financial relief measures for aviation to ensure that the sector will be capable of driving the recovery.”

Among the measures beneficial for Saudi Arabia by IATA embrace direct monetary help to passenger and cargo carriers; monetary aid on airport and air site visitors management fees and taxes; and the discount, waiver or deferral of government-imposed taxes and charges.

Muhammad Al-Bakri, IATA’s regional vp for Africa and the Center East, believes the urgency of airline industry-specific aid measures can’t be overemphasized.

“Given the industry’s role in social and economic development, it is important the government prioritizes aviation and provides urgent financial relief,” he mentioned.

“Earlier than the disaster, Saudi Arabia was shifting at full velocity and reaching tangible leads to modernization, infrastructure growth and financial development.

“Fully supporting the air-transport sector now means a stronger recovery for the Kingdom.”

Linus Bauer, aviation advisor and visiting lecturer at Metropolis College of London, mentioned that the general capability within the Gulf area, together with Saudi Arabia, has shrunk by 3.53 million weekly departure seats year-on-year.

In Could 2019, there have been 1.32 million weekly departure seats within the Kingdom. One yr later, a very sharp decline was recorded, which touched 97,156.

“It clearly shows the severe impact of the current crisis on Saudi Arabia’s air-transport sector,” Bauer mentioned.

“By the end of this year, a capacity loss of 25 percent is forecast. In a pessimistic scenario, the impact could be as high as 35 percent.”

Consequently, Saudi carriers are dealing with a scarcity of liquidity, making it unimaginable for them to outlive with out stimulus packages from the federal government.

IATA figures from 2018 counsel that the Kingdom’s air-transport sector, together with airways and their provide chains, was supporting an estimated $20.2 billion share of Saudi Arabia’s GDP, with spending by overseas vacationers accounting for a further $16.2 billion.

In complete, 5.6 % of Saudi Arabia’s GDP was supported by revenues from the air-transport sector and overseas vacationers arriving by air.

Additionally in 2018, primarily based on IATA’s 20-year passenger forecast, the air transport market in Saudi Arabia was projected, below the “current trends” state of affairs, to develop by 126 % within the following 20 years.

This might have resulted in a further 54.eight million passenger journeys by 2037.

“If met, this increased demand would support approximately $82.3 billion of GDP and almost 1.2 million jobs,” IATA acknowledged on the time.

PANDEMIC’S GULFWIDE IMPACT

As the worldwide airline {industry} struggles with the shock of COVID-19, many Gulf carriers have resorted to job cuts and discount in wages.

Kuwait Airways introduced its choice to put off as many as 1,500 expatriate staff as a part of a “comprehensive plan” to take care of the pandemic’s financial impression. With a complete of 6,925 staff and a fleet of 30 aircrafts, the airline has struggled amid the regional and worldwide downturn in air journey.

Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Airways laid off a whole bunch of staff in mid-Could and warned workers to brace for additional cuts, in keeping with DailyKhaleej. The airline has grounded scheduled passenger flights and quickly minimize wages by as a lot as 50 %, regardless of plans to restart flights from mid-June.

Air Arabia, the one listed service within the United Arab Emirates, laid off 57 staff in early Could as a consequence of journey disruptions attributable to the pandemic. The Sharjah-based airline, which has about 2,000 staff, has, together with different UAE carriers, suspended scheduled operations since March.

Qatar Airways introduced final month it might minimize near a fifth of its workforce. The airline employs greater than 46,000 workers, that means the layoffs might impression about 9,200 staff.

As for Emirates, claims made that it’s planning to chop round 30,000 jobs haven’t been confirmed. What is understood is that the Dubai-owned flag service is planning to renew flights to over a dozen locations between Could 21 and June 30.

——-

In accordance with IATA Direct Information Options within the 2000s, an industry-sponsored world airline-market information initiative, the Center East was the biggest marketplace for passenger flows to and from Saudi Arabia, adopted by Asia-Pacific and Africa.

The restoration of a rustic’s airline {industry}, in keeping with Bauer, could have loads to do with the scale of its home journey market.

Nations that lack massive home journey markets, he mentioned, are prone to recuperate extra slowly from the disaster precipitated by the pandemic and will open up first to vacationers from close by nations within the Center East.

“Having a large and diverse domestic market can be considered one of the competitive advantages for carriers,” he mentioned.

In the post-COVID-19 period, Bauer mentioned that “an increase in demand for domestic feeder services for long-haul flights can be expected, driven by the fast-changing customer behavior of health-conscious passengers and the economic advantages associated with flying efficient, twin-engine long-range aircraft with lower cabin density.”

He sees such components doubtlessly opening up new market alternatives for main opponents of Gulf carriers which have the benefit of huge home markets.

“At the end of the day, the kick-off of regular long-haul services largely depends on the ongoing travel bans, restrictions and entry regulations imposed by countries or markets that Gulf carriers serve,” Bauer mentioned.

That mentioned, the airline {industry}’s pivotal position in preserving nations linked and economies flourishing just isn’t prone to be diminished by the pandemic, say insiders.

“The shape and size of the industry may change as a result of this crisis. But aviation will remain a critical support for vast sectors of the economy,” Alexandre de Juniac, IATA director-general and CEO, mentioned in a current teleconference with journalists.

“The sooner we can safely reconnect the world, the more jobs can be saved. And, combined with economic stimulus packages, a reconnected world will be a solid foundation for economic recovery,” Juniac added.

GCC Industrial Gases Market is likely to account for ~US$ 1.0 Bn by 2019-end

Persistence Market Research (PMR) published a market research report on the GCC industrial gases market, which includes GCC industry analysis and market forecast for 2019-2029. The report displays the regional market outlook for industrial gases throughout the forecast period of 2019-2029, along with the CAGR growth. The GCC industrial gases market is likely to account for ~US$ 1.0 Bn by 2019-end, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of ~6.0% over the forecast period of 2019-29. Among different types of gases, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen are estimated to witness significant adoption throughout the forecast period. In addition, rapidly growing sales of Argon is likely to result in increased market share in the years ahead. Moreover, refining, chemicals, welding & metal fabrication and energy, and oil & gas are estimated to remain key application sectors of the industrial gases.

On the basis of geographical outlook, KSA is projected to be a significant market for industrial gases in the GCC region, and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of ~6% during the forecast period.

Request For Report Sample@https://www.persistencemarketresearch.com/samples/10864

As per the report, the demand for industrial gases is expected to be driven majorly by the expansion of the healthcare industry, automotive & aerospace industry, growing metallurgy activities, chemical industry, and surging demand from other end-use industries. Furthermore, global players are focusing on increasing their market shares in the GCC region by entering into strategic partnerships and joint ventures with regional players as well as investment groups.

Focus on Reducing Economic Dependency on the Oil & Gas Sector by Empowering Other Sectors

Recent turmoil in the global oil & gas industry has led the regional government to rethink and brood over its dependency on this industry. Governments of GCC countries are focusing on increasing investments in other sectors such as manufacturing, tourism, and medical & healthcare, in addition to reducing their economic dependency on oil & gas/petroleum sectors. This economic shift requires significant infrastructural development, which consequentially, is expected to drive the demand for industrial gases in the GCC region throughout the forecast period.

Large-scale Infrastructure Projects Making KSA Industrial Gases Market Attractive

Industrial gases are expected to find significant demand in GCC, particularly driven by increasing capital expenditure for construction activities and mega infrastructure projects planned in the region in the near future. Total value of contracts awarded for large-scale projects in GCC has been estimated at US$ 172 Bn in 2015. Ongoing investments in large-scale infrastructure projects and rampant investment in the core industrial sector is expected to drive the demand for industrial gases through 2029. In addition, several large-scale infrastructural projects, as a part of the government’s development program in line with key events such as Dubai Expo 2020 and FIFA World Cup 2022, Qatar, are expected to emerge as major drivers for rise in demand for industrial gases in the region.

Furthermore, the KSA industrial gases market is expected to reign supreme in the overall GCC industrial gases market with largest volume of industrial gas consumption by the country during the stipulated timeframe. Significant industrial activities in the region is estimated to contribute towards the increasing demand for industrial gases. UAE and Qatar are projected to hold prominent market shares in terms of both volume & value after KSA, owing to various infrastructural developments and growing chemical industry in the two countries.

Iran prevails over the USA, twice, but this is far from over

[this analysis was written for the Unz Review]

An Iranian official has announced that the UK-flagged tanker Stena Impero was free to leave.  Remember the Stena Impero?  This is the tanker the IRGC arrested after the Empire committed an act of piracy on the high seas and seized the Iranian tanker Grace 1.  Col Cassad posted a good summary of this info-battle, blow by blow (corrected machine translation):

Britain, at the instigation of the US, seizes the Iranian tanker Grace 1 and demands from Iran guarantees that it in any case does not go to Syria.

Iran, in response, captures the British tanker Stena Impero and says it will not retreat until the British releases Grace 1.  British ships that guarded merchant ships in the Strait of Hormuz were warned that they would be destroyed if they interfered with the IRGC’s actions.

After 2 months, Britain officially releases Grace 1, which is renamed Adrian Darya 1. It raised the Iranian flag and changed the crew.

The British government says the tanker is released under Iran’s obligations not to unload the tanker at the Syrian port of Banias or anywhere else in Syria. Iran denies this.

The US officially requires Britain and Gibraltar to arrest Adrian Darya 1 and not let him into Syria, as it violates the sanctions regime. Britain and Gibraltar refuse the US.

Adrian Darya 1 reaches the coast of Syria and after a few days on the beam of Banias, unloads its cargo in Syria. The Iranian government says it has not made any commitments to anyone.

After Adrian Darya 1 left Syria, Iran announced that it was ready to release the British tanker. The goal has been achieved.

This is truly an amazing series of steps, really!

The USA is the undisputed maritime hyper-power, not only because of its huge fleet, but because of its network of bases all over the planet (700-1000 depending on how you count) and, possibly even more importantly, a network of so-called “allies”, “friends”, “partners” and “willing coalition members” (aka de facto US colonies) worldwide.  In comparison, Iran is a tiny dwarf, at least in maritime terms.  But, as the US expression goes, “it’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog” which decides the outcome.

And then there is the (provisional) outcome of the Houthi strike on the Saudi oil installations.  The Saudis appeared to be pushing for war against Iran, as did Pompeo, but Trump apparently decided otherwise:

Some have focused on the fact that Trump said that it was “easy” to attack Iran.  Others have ridiculed Trump for his silly bragging about how US military gear would operate in spite of the dismal failure of both US cruise missile attacks (on Syria) and the Patriot SAMs (in the KSA).  But all that bragging is simply obligatory verbal flag-waving; this is what the current political culture in the USA demands from all politicians.  But I think that the key part of his comments is when he says that to simply attack would be “easy” (at least for him it would) but that this would not show strength.  I also notice that Trump referred to those who predicted that he would start a war and said that they were wrong about him.  Trump also acknowledged that a lot of people are happy that he does not strike (while others deplored that, of course, beginning with the entire US pseudo-liberal & pseudo-Left media and politicians).  The one exception has been, again, Tulsi Gabbard who posted this after Trump declared that the US was “locked and loaded”:

Whatever may be the case, this time again, Trump seemed to have taken a last minute decision to scrap the attack the Neocons have been dreaming about for decades.

I think that I made my opinion about Trump pretty clear, yet I also have to repeat that all these “climbdowns” by Trump are, just by themselves, a good enough reason to justify a vote for Trump.  Simply put; since Trump came to power we saw a lot of hubris, nonsense, ignorance and stupidity.  But we did NOT see a war, especially not a major one.  I will never be able to prove that, but I strongly believe that if Hillary had won, the Middle-East would have already exploded (most likely after a US attempt at imposing a no-fly zone over Syria).

We are also very lucky that, at least in this case, the rapid every four year Presidential election in the USA contributes to keep Trump (and his Neocon masters) in check: Trump probably figured out that a blockade of Venezuela or, even more so, a strike on Iran would severely compromise his chances of being re-elected, especially since neither theater offers the US any exit strategy.

Still, following these immensely embarrassing defeats, Trump and his advisors had to come up with something “manly” (which they confuse with “macho”) and make some loud statements about sending more forces to the Persian Gulf and beefing up the Saudi air defenses.  This will change nothing.  Iran is already the most over-sanctioned country on the planet and we have seen what US air defense can, and cannot do.  Truth be told, this is all about face-saving and I don’t mind any face-saving inanities as long as they make it possible to avoid a real shooting war.

Still, the closer we get to the next US election, the more Trump should not only carefully filter what he says, he would be well advised to give some clear and strict instructions to his entire Administration about what they can say and what they cannot say.  Of course, in the case of a rabid megalomaniac like Pompeo, no such “talking points” will be enough: Trump needs to fire this psychopath ASAP and appoint a real diplomat as Secretary of State.  After all, Pompeo belongs in the same padded room as Bolton.

Now if we look at the situation from the Iranian point of view, it is most interesting.  First, for context, I recommend the recent articles posted by Iranian analysts on the blog, especially the following ones:

“War Gaming the Persian Gulf Conflict” by Black Archer Williams

“Karbala, The Path of Most Resistance” by Mansoureh Tadjik

“Resistance report: Syrian Army takes the initiative in Idlib while Washington blames its failures on Iran again” by Aram Mirzaei

I also recommend my recent interview with Professor Marandi.

I recommend all these Iranian voices because they are so totally absent from the political discussions on the Middle-East, at least in western media.  Williams, Tadjik, Mirzaei and Marandi are very different people, they also have different point of views and focuses of interest, but when you read them you realize how confident and determined Iranians are.  I am in contact with Iranians abroad and in Iran and all of them, with no exception, share that calm determination.  It seems that, just like Russians, Iranians most certainly don’t want war, but they are ready for it.

The Iranian preferred strategy is also clear: just the way Hezbollah keeps Israel in check so will the Houthis with the KSA.  The Houthis, who are now in a very strong negotiation position, have offered to stop striking the KSA if the Saudis do likewise.  Now, the Saudis, just like the Israelis, are too weak to accept any such offer, that is paradoxical but true: if the Saudis officially took the deal, that would “seal” their defeat in the eyes of their own public opinion.  Having said that, I can’t believe that the Saudis believe their own propaganda about war against Iran.  No matter how delusional and arrogant the Saudi leaders are, surely they must realize what a war against Iran would mean for the House of Saud (although when I read this I wonder)!  It is one thing to murder defenseless Shias in the KSA, Bahrain or Yemen and quite another to take on “the country which trained Hezbollah”.

Speaking of delusional behavior, the Europeans finally did fall in line behind their AngloZionist overlords and agreed to blame Iran for the attack under what I call the “Skripal rules of evidence” aka “highly likely“.  The more things change, the more they remain the same I suppose…

It is pretty clear that all the members of the Axis of Kindness (USA, KSA, Israel) are in deep trouble on the internal front: Trump is busy with the “Zelensky vs Biden” scandal, especially now since the Dems are opening impeachment procedures, the latest elections failed to deliver the result Bibi wanted, as for the Saudis, after pushing for war they now have to settle for more sanctions and radars, hardly a winning combination.

The Saudis are too weak, clueless and obese (physically and mentally) to get anything done by themselves.  But the USA and Israel are now in a dire need to show some kind of “victory” over, well, somebody.  Anybody will do.  Thus the US have just denied visas 10 members of the Russian delegation to the United Nations (thereby violating yet another US obligation under international law, but nobody in the US cares about such minor trivialities as international law); and just to show how amazingly powerful the Empire is, the Iranian delegation to the UN received the same “punished bad boys” treatment: truly, a triumph worthy of a superpower!  Last minute update: the US is now revoking Iranian student visas and denying entry to Venezuelan diplomats.

This “war of visas” is the US equivalent of the “war on statues” the Ukrainians, Balts and the Poles have been waging to try to distract their population from the comprador policies of their governments.

As for the Israelis, I now expect the Israelis to strike some empty building in Syria (or even in Gaza!).

Conclusion: facts don’t really matter anymore, and neither does logic

Ten years ago Chris Hedges wrote a book called “Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle ” and, a full decade later, this title is still an extremely accurate diagnostic.  What Hedges politely called the “end of literacy” can be observed in all its facets, listening to US political and military leaders. While most of them are, indeed, morally bankrupt and even psychopaths, it is their level of ignorance and incompetence which is the most amazing.  First, the Russians spoke of “non-agreement-capable” “partners” but eventually Putin quipped that it was hard to work with “people who confuse Austria and Australia“.  This all, by the way, applies as much to the Obama Administration as it does to the Trump Administration: their common motto could have been “illusions über alles” or something similar.  Once a political culture fully enters into the realm of illusions and delusions the end is near because no real-world problem ever gets tackled: it only gets obfuscated, denied and drowned into an ocean of triumphalist back-slapping and other forms of self-worship.

Post scriptum: the US goes crazy but Trump just might survive after all

So the Dems decided to try to impeach Trump.  While I always expected the Neocons to treat Trump as the “disposable President” which they would try to use to do all the stuff they don’t want to be blamed for directly, and then toss him away once they squeezed him for everything he could give them, I am still appalled by the nerve, the arrogance and the total dishonesty of the Dems (see my rant here).

My gut feeling is that Trump just might beat this one for the very same reason he won the first time around: because the other side is even worse (except Tulsi Gabbard, of course).

Of course, an attack on Iran would be a welcome distraction à la “wag the dog” and Trump might be tempted.  Hopefully, the Dems will self-destruct fast enough for Trump not to have to consider this.

Development of Non-Oil Sectors, Economic Diversification, Recovery of Government Spending, and Expansion of Infrastructure Would Fuel the Growth of Air Conditioner Market in Saudi Arabia - 6Wresearch

Saudi Arabia is one of the biggest and most promising markets for air-conditioners in the GCC region, predominantly due to its geography, climate, high per capita income as well as rapid growth in population. The country had experienced decline in the air conditioner market primarily due to slump in oil prices over the past few years. The country's drive to reduce dependence on oil sector is a major step towards transforming the economy. Moreover, the GDP of Saudi Arabia declined by 0.7% in 2017 but is expected to grow by 1.7% in 2018, majorly due to government reforms like Saudi Vision 2030.

According to 6Wresearch, Saudi Arabia Air Conditioner Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.1% during 2018-24. Saudi Arabia have been an oil-based economy over two decades. As part of its Vision 2030 plan, the country's non-oil revenues increased by 1.5% in 2017 as compared to the previous year and is further expected to expand by 3.7% in the aftermath of slump in oil prices. Privatization of government services to encourage private sector investment in healthcare, housing, finance and energy sectors would further contribute to the growth.
