4-5-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man Iraq’s political process remains in a deliberate holding pattern. The presidential vote has been postponed again with the next scheduled session now set for April 11th. The government formation is still stalled in the caretaker phase under the Prime Minister Sudani with no meaningful progress on naming a new prime minister or cabinet since November 2025 elections…At the same time strong US opposition to Maliki returning as a prime minister has created significant friction…The system remains stable. There is no immediate crisis forcing a rushed deal. Steady and deliberate is the current approach…
4-5-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu Many Gurus insist Trump is driving the revaluation…There is something nobody has bothered to mention yet that is a tell. Trump instituted a project called; The Abraham Accords. This is a coalition to replace…NATO. This new coalition consists of; Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan. The main members are the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, and Israel. Do you notice anyone conspicuously missing from the list? Clue: IRAQ! Iraq is merely a peripheral consideration in Trumps mind because they are a troubled Nation… When they get it together, I’m sure they will be included but they aren’t ready for membership or a valid/tradable currency yet. The pseudo economists want to connect every little action, no matter how irrelevant, to a pending RV but wishful thinking will not get the job done. Only sound economic markers count and Iraq is not counted in the mix…yet!
4-5-2026 Newshound Guru Steve I do think a lot of this is theater. I think there’s a lot going on that doesn’t meet the eye…To the normal media or your average persons this war looks like it’s kind of going to go on for a while. But I think Trump knows what he’s doing. I think Trump is a genius. I think he’s very very smart. If you’re invested in the Iraqi dinar, he is the guy that needed to be put into power to help bring it forth. If you think Biden or Harris would have gotten us closer to the dinar revaluation, then honestly, I think you are not that wise…
4-5-2026 Intel Guru Reset Intelligence Iraq just lost 70% of its oil revenue overnight. March: $1.9 billion. February was $6.8 billion. Seven Basra oil fields shut down when Hormuz closed. Five trillion dinars needed just for May salaries. And analysts say the money runs out mid-May. But here’s what nobody is covering. Iraq actually has no legal authority to borrow… Government formation takes months. There is no borrowing mechanism. Meanwhile the parallel market is stretching. Street rate hit 1,545 dinars per dollar. Official rate is 1,310. That’s an 18% gap. And the second widest since 2003. The last time the gap exceeded 12%, the CBI changed the rate within weeks. February 2023. Moved from 1,460 to 1,310 overnight. No vote. No warning. The current gap is larger than the one that triggered that adjustment…The math doesn’t work at a program rate. Something gives before mid-May.
4-5-2026 Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ [via PDK] Comment: I had a dream that the dong was $3.89. MarkZ: I have heard prices that high.
4-5-2026 Intel Guru Bruce [via WiserNow] …what we were hearing from some of our top military was dates, – fifth, sixth and seventh, which is Sunday, Monday, Tuesday as possible, notification dates for us…All right, that’s okay. We made it this far. We’re not going to throw the towel in now. We’re close to that finish line…
