3-28-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man The progress in reforms are taking shape. It’s coming along nicely even under heated conditions in the Middle East right now. Iraq is not stopping. The development road project is not stopping. I think it’s powerful to understand is just because there’s turmoil doesn’t mean [they’re derailed]. This planet still spins 24/7. So does trade. The world is watching…
3-28-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu It’s time to take off the rose colored glasses and see the real world. In my 14 years of involvement with the IQD, I have never seen so much wishful thinking…There are no 800 numbers. There is no window. There are no exchange centers. In other words, there is no chance of an RV anytime in the near future. Iraq has a thousand things that need to be done first, and then on top, there is ISO-20022 compliance to be dealt with.
3-28-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: “The Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament: We will bear the responsibility and proceed with electing the President of the Republic” Quote: “Al-Halbousi stated in a post on the “X” platform…that the delay in electing the President of the Republic is no longer acceptable, due to its direct impact on the stability of the state…”
3-28-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 More than 2/3 of parliament members signed up to elect Iraq’s president this coming Monday. 220 members of the house…In 72 hours you will see those votes become the remaining president that’s required to form the government of Iraq. Once the government is formed the parliament… will declare we open the budget. The first item is a rate. All budgets open with an established rate…that pays for the whole budget… 1300 can’t do this monster budget…We can pretend 1300 is doing it, but it won’t do it…1300…destroys their whole economic reform…
3-28-2026 Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram I did not want to make this report but things have gotten so bad in Iraq I really have no choice. Iraq is the only country in the Middle East that is being attacked by both sides… Article: “Is Iraq facing civil war? How the US-Iran conflict is shattering Baghdad’s neutrality” This risk of internal conflict is increasing. Iraq faces a dangerous scenario: Government vs. Militias. Pro-Iran vs Pro-U.S. factions…This could fragment the country…
3-28-2026 Intel Guru Bruce [via WiserNow] …one of our redemption center leaders received an email…from Treasury saying we will have this before the end of the month.
3-28-2026 Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ [via PDK] Its mostly quiet…no bond news. Even my bank/redemption contacts are NOT on call this weekend. They have a rare weekend where they were told to relax.
