1-21-2026 Boots On The Ground Guru Omar When they do announce the reforms with the new rate that means we are ready to take on the international partnerships. The next step after the compliance is certified by the IMF and World Bank…and now will be FX normalization which will mean international exchange rate…
1-21-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man If you notice there’s no fanfare and no specifics just yet. That will come later. It will. Meanwhile, the engine is still turning, that action and that ‘quiet’ or lack of details protects the process while the fundamentals grow. It’s a good sign. I think it’s a great sign.
1-21-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick Article: “The Board of Directors of the Center for Banking Studies discusses activating international partnerships to support banking reform in Iraq” Quote: “These efforts are in line with… addressing the challenges of compliance with FATF, Basel and IFRS requirements, thereby…improving the readiness of Iraqi banks to integrate into the international financial system.” This is coming from the ones at the CBI that make all the decisions on the monetary reform, on the new exchange rate. This is the board of directors that tell Alaq what to do and what to say. These are the straight directors from the board of directors directing Alaq to say these words. These are the one in negotiations with the Untied States of America…
1-21-2026 Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram Basil III is where banks globally will stop using “paper gold”…It’s not a law. BIS cannot provide laws to bank globally but they can cause such a situation that banks that comply and banks that don’t comply. There is definitely a divide in the banking system globally in how they categorize the assets of gold and silver on their balance sheet…
1-21-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article quote: “…It is difficult for Iraqi public opinion to view Saddam’s dinar on Trump’s table as an innocent piece of “nostalgia.” Every element in the image carries a layer of meaning: The US president is the one who now has the power to tighten or loosen sanctions through the Treasury Department and executive orders that could expand or tighten the noose on Iraqi banks, companies and figures within days…Leaks and frequent statements point to a new package of US sanctions expected to target influential politicians, political parties, and banks and companies suspected of serving as conduits for financing Iran’s allies in the region or organizations designated as terrorist groups. According to Iraqi and American officials, this package has been…linked to the formation of the next government and the behavior of pro-Tehran forces on the ground.” [See the Trump/Dinar photo mentioned in Guru Clare’s 1-21-2026 post below]
1-21-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 “…the easy way which is the revaluation, the country was going to be put in peace, the people were going to become very prosperous. Or the hard way, which is we have the Army coin, which is black and gold, the Naval coin, which is white and blue and the Marine Corps coin which is red and gold. That was in front of the president…This is all over the Aribic media. They’ve got the message as to what Donald Trump is saying…You can take the carrot, revaluate your currency…Culturally the messaging is good. Donald Trump is the ultimate communicator. When he does these things he’s sending a message very clearly. According to what my wife said, within the Arabic Middle East, the message has gotten out. He wants the Iranians out. He wants the Iraqi people set free to have their financial stability…” FRANK: I want to thank you and your wife. You guys were very instrumental in helping us… [See the Trump/dinar photo in Guru Clare’s 1-21-2026 morning post below] [Post 2 of 2]
1-21-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 [Update from an Iraqi] MR. D: My wife is Iraqi and she said, ‘Did you see the picture [of Trump, Savaya and the old dinar note]?‘…She said the picture has a cultural significance…We saw there were 3 military coins in front of Donald Trump. The army, the navy and the US marine Corps coins. Those were the 3 we recognized. Behind that was the dinar with Saddam Hussein on it. The significance of that was it was a 5 dinar, “Swiss note”. She said that in itself was culturally significant because what they’re telling the people is the president is in support of the Iraqi people and he was sending a message to the politicians that they needed to get their currency straight, start supporting their people, that they were going to receive one of two things… [See the Trump/dinar photo in Guru Clare’s 1-21-2026 morning post below] [Post 1 of 2…stay tuned]
1-21-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat I have heard from my CBI contact on a call to Iraq last Saturday that the last stage of testing is almost completed on the software for the digital dinar. So, when it is ready and the GOI has completed its tasks, we can expect to see the collection of the three zero notes and the issuance of the new lower denominations. I asked for a timing of this event and she said to follow the election cycle. So, I now believe there are two events linked to kickoff of removing the zeros and that is the digital dinar and the election cycle.
1-21-2026 Guest Guru Ariel US Military Leaves Iraq: 23 Years Of Occupation Now Over (What This Means For IQD Holders) Can you all feel the electricity in what is being laid out? It’s like watching puzzle pieces snap together after years of waiting in the shadows. Iraq’s been grinding through reforms for ages, and with the US pullout from federal territory…the timing feels charged.
1-21-2026 Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ [via PDK] Article: “Iraq announces the full withdrawal of US forces from its Federal Territory” …Iraq is taking over US military bases…This is a planned and peaceful transition. Comment: Hopefully US leaving Iraq means we’re about to get paid! MarkZ: Yes US troops are leaving Iraq…it was said that we will leave when we get paid. So I think the US might have been paid.
