Baghdad – INA Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani confirmed that the government has developed a radical solution to gas flaring, while indicating the developing of a world-class waste recycling plant facility will be completed. The Prime Minister's Media Office stated in a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), "Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani sponsored the National Conference for Young Environmental Pioneers, which was held at Al-Mustansiriya University on the occasion of World Environment Day, which falls tomorrow, Thursday." The Prime Minister took the initiative to "plant a tree in the university garden in support of the Young Environmental Pioneers initiative," calling for "the need for widespread attention to the environment and afforestation." In a speech he delivered, he also congratulated the convening of this conference. He explained that "Iraq is a young country, with a youth population exceeding 60%, which enables us to face challenges in all areas. On this basis, the Supreme Council for Youth was established to serve as an incubator for events and initiatives that support youth." He pointed out that "the environmental challenge and the complex danger it poses require a comprehensive mobilization of efforts," emphasizing that "the environment in Iraq has been subjected to significant neglect, coupled with climate change and drought, which have had social and economic impacts." He emphasized the role of "youth in spreading environmental awareness, especially since supporting and preserving our environment is a shared and comprehensive responsibility, not just the responsibility of the state and relevant institutions." He explained that "the Supreme Council for Youth launched the 'Goodness Initiative' last March, a national initiative to empower youth in the sectors of agriculture, food security, livestock, and climate." He noted that "we established the National Youth Climate Change Team, which has reached 1,000 members of both genders and from all our governorates." He emphasized "the importance of expanding volunteer work and directing it toward environmental work to support the government's efforts to confront climate change," noting that "we have supported hosting international conferences that discuss the environment in Iraq and enhance our efforts to confront climate challenges." He pointed out that "Baghdad hosted the Carbon Economics Conference, and Basra hosted the Iraq Climate Conference, sending a message to the international community to support our government's efforts to address the repercussions of climate challenges." He added that "we have devoted efforts to completing treatment plants along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, to achieve the lowest levels of pollutants in them." He continued, "The government has begun addressing the primary and serious causes of pollution, and we call on everyone to assume responsibility for preserving the environment." He noted that "we have worked to tighten controls on pollution sources and convert production plants and brick factories into environmentally friendly facilities.". He continued, "The use of modern spraying techniques in agriculture has contributed to increasing green cover and expanding agricultural areas. We have initiated important projects to conserve water and reduce water waste, and we signed an agreement with Turkey to implement modern water management projects." He explained that "the government has launched work on a waste-to-energy plant project with a capacity of (100) megawatts in Nahrawan." He noted that "we have adopted the National Initiative for Environmental Monitoring and Inspection, taken a series of measures to address air pollution, supported scientific research to identify pollution sources, address emissions, and expand the afforestation initiative and protect natural and green areas." He emphasized that "the government has developed a radical solution to gas flaring, and we have concluded contracts with several companies. By no later than 2027, gas flaring will be zero." He concluded by saying, "90% of the financial allocations have been directed to wastewater treatment plant projects to reduce pollution, and we will complete a state-of-the-art waste-to-energy recycling plant."

Sayyid Khamenei: Tehran Will Not Abandon Uranium Enrichment
Baghdad – INA The Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Sayyid Ali Khamenei, affirmed on Wednesday that Tehran will not abandon uranium enrichment. In a speech marking the anniversary of the passing of the founder of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Sayyid Ruhollah Khomeini, monitored by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), Khamenei said: "The project proposed by the Americans completely contradicts the principle of 'We Can,' through which Imam Khomeini restored the Iranian people's self-confidence." He added, "The nuclear project is used to produce clean energy, and I hope specialists will explain its uses to the public." He continued, "Resistance means standing up to the will of the superpowers," noting that "nuclear technology will not be achieved without enrichment to produce reactor fuel, and we will not extend our hands to others." He explained: "Even if we had 100 nuclear reactors, they would be useless without our own production of nuclear fuel. Our insistence on obtaining 20% enriched uranium from abroad led us to produce it domestically." He added, "Thousands of nuclear experts and scientists are being targeted by the Americans, who want them unemployed," adding that "American leaders are proposing to disrupt projects in all fields and oppose Iran's development." He explained that "the U.S. administration is making many claims about dismantling the Iranian nuclear project." He pointed out that "the United States is an accomplice in the crimes committed in the Gaza Strip. What is happening in the Strip is a real crime, and security in the region cannot be achieved by relying on the Zionist entity," adding that "the Zionist entity is doomed, and its end will not take long.
