We agreed that the issues discussed will be addressed during my upcoming visit to Iraq, WHERE I WILL ENGAGE WITH THE RIGHT DECISION MAKERS to confront the situation on the ground for the benefit of the IRAQI PEOPLE. LET US MAKE IRAQ GREAT AGAIN“
1-16-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu [Response to Guru Jeff’s 1-14-2026 international dinar post below] Merely changing the exchange rate does not make the currency International. Being posted on an International Trading Platform makes the currency International. Also, it is worth mentioning that a currency need not be representing the actual value to be listed on the FOREX. Vietnam and about a dozen others are severely undervalued yet are on FOREX and are International. The Dinar could be listed as is and be International at 1310.
1-16-2026 Newshound Guru Samson Article: “SAVAYA MEETS WITH THE US SECRETARY OF DEFENSE TO DISCUSS ‘IRAQI ISSUES‘ ”
1-16-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Regarding all these article talking about Maliki as being the #1 choice for prime minister…The news articles said Sudani conceded and supported Maliki for the premiership of PM. Now the tables have turned. They’re all coming out saying Maliki is not a good choice, selection or option or consideration or that position…Now you can see how severely they lie to you within Iraq news…
1-16-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 I’ve always told you the moment you see the HCL you’ll see the new exchange rate. Will we see the prime minister? I don’t know. You think I’m waiting for the prime minister? I’m waiting for the new exchange rate.
1-16-2026 Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ [via PDK] Article: “Iraq’s Envoy waves for upcoming sanctions on new Iraqi networks. Talks with US Treasury” They are talking that the Kurdistan region extended their temporary HCL agreement by 3 months…while they work through things… They don’t believe they will need it. But they extended it another 3 months…This dominated the news today…part of the HCL they have been working on. The parliament has been working on HCL for the last 3 days. I continue to be told from Iraqi sources…First the budget…then the HCL…Then the Prime Minister…and somewhere around the HCL/budget part we get our change in value.
1-16-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: “HARRIS: AMERICA WILL TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION TO DISMANTLE PRO-IRANIAN “TERRORIST” MILITIAS“. The acting head of the US mission in Iraq, Joshua Harris, confirmed on Friday that Washington is moving towards taking immediate action to dismantle what he described as “Iranian-backed terrorist militias,” stressing that the inclusion of “militias” in the new government is contrary to Iraqi-American relations…All I can say is – What the hell was Iraq thinking in even allowing the militias to stay in their country this long? Can you say Nori al-Maliki? How does this guy still exist in Iraq? And no he is not going to be the next prime minister. I would be VERY surprised if Al-Sudani does not get a second term.
