1-26-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick The contractors went into agreements with the Untied States on minerals…They are waiting for Trump to finish the negotiations. That’s what you’re seeing with Savaya. They are waiting for the rate to go into effect. BTW they told me when they get the rate these contracts are long-term contracts with the Untied States for decades. The United States is first…The Untied States of America, due to these contracts will be heavily involved in the reconstruction of Iraq…
1-26-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Article: “The Untied Nations announces the transition of Iraq to the classification of security – stable counties” The sanctions are going to come off…when the rate changes of course…The UN has already lifted their sanctions. The United States just has OFAC sanctions on Iraq at this time. This is a very powerful article.
1-26-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man Central Bank Law #56 of 2004 Article 2 “The central bank has full operational independence in monetary policy including setting and adjusting the exchange rate regime. The government which is a prime minister, the cabinet and parliament cannot legally dictate or veto the central bank of Iraq’s decisions on the dinar rate management or shift to a managed REER framework.” The central bank is independent. That is what it’s telling you, whoever the prime minister…the central bank under this law has the ability to have control…There’s nothing in the way of the CBI to do an adjustment at any time…
1-26-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 It’s very obvious Maliki does not have the votes to be prime minister…They can nominate all they want but nobody’s going to vote for the evil man, not even his own mother will vote for him anymore. Maliki is a waste of time.
1-26-2026 Boots On The Ground Guru Omar The television economist said this about Phase II of the monetary reform…In phase II, which Iraq is rolling out in 2026, they are finalizing the currency reform steps… The idea is to get the dinar internationally recognized. They completed most of the groundwork…Now they are moving on to make sure it can be used more easily on the global stage. They’re meeting international standards. They’re setting the stage to go international but it’s a gradual process, not overnight.
1-26-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: “The United Nations announces that Iraq has moved to the category of countries with stable security” Quote: “The UN official also noted that the United Nations has recorded remarkable progress in the security situation in Iraq, as it moved from classification (E) to classification (B), to be among the countries that are secure, indicating that this classification is one of the most important indicators adopted at the level of the United Nations in measuring the quality of security and stability.”
1-26-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff There’s a lot of fake and misleading information...This is a classified investment, so we would expect that…You’d have to expect two different types of news with this being a classified investment. The first one is for them to give you misleading information that makes it look like Iraq is unstable and they’re not going to change the rate. And then the other one that they don’t give you enough detail to know when anything critical is going to happen. So far that’s what we’ve experienced.
1-26-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man Al-Sudani was the front runner. He has the most seats but they nominated Al-Maliki. Let’s see what happens. Let’s see if the street fires up or if there’s something else we haven’t seen and we see a surprise…It’s not over just yet. Maliki didn’t make it to the Prime Membership. It’s not official but he is the nominee.
1-26-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 The term trillions to billions to millions has always been used to represent a rate change…The fact that we need to go from trillion to billions to millions and they are saying it…it’s exciting. It’s another example of usage of different verbiage that creates a picture of explanation of the monetary reform with obvious intentions. What an amazing statement for the CBI and the GOI to say…Trillions to billions to millions is another polite way for the CBI to tell Iraqi citizens that there’s a rate change coming for the budget and for [Iraqi’s] purchasing power.
1-26-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Nori al-Maliki is desperate for power. If he should get into power again as the prime minister we are in for a long wait for the RV…Many of you long-term followers of the RV news have witnessed his eight (8) disastrous years as prime minister…I feel this coming week is either going to make or break Iraq.
