IRAQI-AMERICAN PARTNERSHIP”
9-13-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen I’ve always said the Iraqi dinar is the very beginning of the financial blessing. It’s the first domino to fall…I believe it is going to be the foundation to give us the equity and the funds to invest in many many other things that are only going to accelerate and explode our wealth from the dinar that much more…
9-13-2026 Newshound Guru Thom For those of you who aren’t familiar with the Development Road Project in Iraq…The Development Road Project…aims to build a major transport corridor of roads and railways roughly 1,200 kilometers long. It runs from the Grand Faw Port in southern Iraq (on the Persian Gulf) north to the Turkish border. The goal is to turn Iraq into a key trade hub that moves goods between Asia and Europe more quickly, create jobs, earn money from trade (projected around $4 billion a year once running), reduce reliance on oil...In April 2024, Iraq, Turkey, Qatar, and the UAE signed a cooperation agreement…In December 2025, Iraq’s prime minister opened the first section… Work on designs and partnerships (including with Turkey) has continued into 2026…This is a big deal.
9-13-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man The Development Road is no longer just a slogan or a signed MoU. It is entering the phase where technical committees, finance ministries, and oil entities are negotiating the plumbing. That kind of work creates its own momentum. Combined with the energy contracts, banking compliance clocks, and formalization systems already in motion, it strengthens the case that the overall direction has real weight behind it.
9-13-2026 Central Banks Guru Terrance Question: “When the rate change does occur…and they give their citizens in Iraq a time frame to exchange the current notes for new lower denominations…does that apply to us? Are we going to have to contact Chase or Bank of America to find out exactly what that window is? Or do you think the Central Bank of Iraq will put out a rule book…for what it’s going to be for foreign holders of the currency?” Terrance: Iraq does not have to honor foreign currency holders…They don’t even track the amount of Iraq dinar outside of the country. It’s not on their radar because it’s not tradable and it doesn’t stimulate their economy. So they’re under no obligation…but they will [honor it] because they don’t want to harm the relationship [with international banks/investors]…
9-13-2026 Intel Guru Reset Intelligence Chevron does not gamble…and does not pre-pay. Its entire business is deciding which countries can be trusted to deliver barrels against dollars. It has priced that question in Iraq at no for two decades. This week its answer changed…on the strength of books that years of audits, seizures and teller training have made readable…The most reliable verdicts on a country never come from its politicians. They come from the people whose own money is at stake. Washington rebuilt Baghdad’s vault with a cash airlift…and now private capital…is paying in advance. Each one is a wager placed with real money that Baghdad delivers what it has scheduled. Why the currency underneath those wagers sits where it sits is…the case for revaluation. That schedule is short now…
9-13-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff When Iraq revalues the sanctions will automatically get lifted at the same time. Everything happens at the same time…
9-13-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 Question: “Pertaining to, ‘Know when to hold’em and when to fold’em’, how does this pertain to currency exchanges?” Frank26: You have to know when to hold them, your dinars and you have to know when to fold them, turn them in because you’re going to go through an RI…When it reaches 1 to 1 what are you going to do? …You have 1 million dinars, you have $1 million dollars. Well I’ll exchange! Okay but you can also hold’em and not fold’em and wait…then we get to $3.22. What does that mean? Well, if you have 1 million dinar, you have $3.2 million dollars…What happens if it goes into an RV? Once it passes $3.22 and goes into a revaluation of the currency? You want to cash out at $3.22 or wait till it gets to maybe $3.86, $4-whatever? Those are the decisions you have to make. You have to know when to hold’em and when to fold’em.
9-13-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: “A major shift in the relationship between Baghdad and Washington… The US Chargé d’Affaires: Al-Zaidi’s visit resulted in agreements worth $60 billion, and Trump looks forward to a fruitful partnership with Iraq” Quote: “The U.S. Chargé d’Affaires in Iraq, Steven Fagin, affirmed that relations between Baghdad and Washington are on the cusp of a new phase of development and transformation...”
9-13-2026 Newshound Guru Ariel When the US troops complete their withdrawal by September 30 and PM Ali al-Zaidi has been crystal clear, full sovereignty, no extensions, no residual force, no “adviser” loophole Iraq regains control of its own monetary policy. The 2027 budget, which is being presented now, is structured around a new program rate. Not the old one. The new one reflects Iraq’s actual resource-backed valuation. Every holder of the old dinar who has physical notes registered in a recognized account gets exchanged at the new rate. The margin between the suppressed program rate and the sovereign rate is where the overnight wealth lives. [Post 2 of 2]
9-13-2026 Newshound Guru Ariel THE REVALUATION CASCADE: Iraq has been operating under an artificially suppressed exchange rate since 2003. The dinar was deliberately pegged low 1,470 to the dollar under the program rate… Iraq’s currency was low not because Iraq is poor. Iraq is sitting on proven oil reserves of 145 billion barrels, 9% of global supply. Add natural gas, phosphates, sulfur, gold deposits in the northern provinces. Iraq economic reports…The currency does not reflect the asset base… [Post 1 of 2]
9-13-2026 Intel Guru Bruce [via WiserNow] …if you remember-one of our sources was pretty high up in the banking world that we talked to said he thought that there was a true back wall for us to get notifications for Tier 4B 800 numbers would be Monday, which is the 14th. So we’ve got new rates coming up on Forex Sunday night, the 13th, the 14th…notifications for us, and then the 15th, which is when the United Nations operational rates are published on the first and 15th of every month, so…I think they were trying to align themselves with the UN operational rates which would come out on the 15th with the new rates…
