3-2-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: We can hardly make it now with the prices. They’re deadly rising. Nobody will use the dollar anymore because we can’t afford it. The prices are so high. They’re going to the black market and it’s going to probably be around 2,000 within a week. FRANK: If it gets to 2,000 would you consider it to be a sanction? Watch it get to 3,000. FIREFLY: These prices are outrageous. We can’t get goods. The problem is really bad. I feel if this does go very long it’s going to do a lot of damage to our dinar. It’s going to weaken it.

3-2-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Articles have suggested the new [Iranian] leadership does want dialogue and meetings. If that’s the route it’s going to go, we’ve got to give them a chance to have some meetings, let that peaceful agreement get reached. We have to give this a little time. It’s not resolved in one week. It could take two weeks, three weeks. Trump’s not playing anymore … Two to Three weeks to resolve everything so Iraq can more forward and continue the formation of their government, if the government formation is being delayed by this. Their actions suggest it might be.
