5-15-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: "Barrack congratulated al-Zaidi on gaining the confidence of Parliament: We want bold action that aligns with our interests" Quote "Tom Barrack, the envoy of US President Donald Trump, congratulated Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi on Thursday evening for securing parliamentary confidence and the approval of his government by the House of Representatives, expressing his hope for bold action in line with the common interests of Washington and Baghdad...He added: President Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and the United States as a whole stand ready to work closely with you and your government to advance our shared goals of prosperity for the Iraqi people..."
5-15-2026 Newshound Guru Thom There is more traction on both the IQD and VND since both of these nations elected new Prime Ministers, both of which are former Bankers. And it is moving faster than I have ever seen. 5-15-2026 Intel Guru Reset Intelligence Yesterday, Baghdad swore in 14 ministers in a single chamber session...Al-Zaidi is 40, the youngest premier Iraq has had, and Trump personally intervened in April to block former PM Nouri al-Maliki's run at the seat...9 of the 23 posts remain unfilled and the security-facing ministries are among them...Half of the cabinet that runs the economy is in place. The other half that defends Babylon isn't...Within hours of the vote, US Special Envoy Tom Barrack posted that Washington stands ready to work with the new government on "the elimination of terrorism." 5-15-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 Do we have a fully seated government? No. Do we have a majority vote for a seated a government? Yes...You need a fully seated government to pass the laws. You still have a "caretaker" government. That's not the goal. That's not what we want. We're getting there. I'm happy with what happened but I want more. 5-15-2026 Feeling Old? $20,000+ Technology — Now Under $1,500 72% of Americans wake up every day in pain and exhausted — feeling years older than they should. (Healthy Aging) Doctors call it normal aging. It's not. For decades elite athletes and wealthy people have been quietly paying $20,000+ for a NASA-developed "Miracle" technology — the same one that helped astronauts recover from the ravaging effects of space that mimic aging.

Click here to learn more >> 5-15-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu [Response to Guest Guru Trader John's 5-13-2026 tax post below] This is NOT a 525 taxable event. It is a 988 taxable event..."For a U.S. taxpayer, a gain from a foreign-currency position like IQD is usually taxed as ordinary income under IRC Section 988, not as capital gains." (Investopedia) Capital gains treatment is not the default for spot currency holdings, but it can apply in some structured investment cases or if a valid election is made for certain transactions. So if someone is holding IQD as a plain currency speculation, the default answer is ordinary income treatment, not capital gains. Like I said; You can choose which tax method you wish. [Dinar Guru Note: Consult your tax and asset protection advisors to determine the ideal tax path for your unique circumstances.] 5-15-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff The million dollar question - How soon could the rate change? Because Iraq has now finished everything they needed to, to be eligible and ready to revalue...What's the soonest? ...The rate is only going to change over a weekend. You can disagree or disagree with me on that...But the rate will only change on a weekend. This coming weekend is the very first weekend within Iraq's history that they have completed every step and requirement to be eligible to revalue. So the soonest Iraq can change is this weekend. 5-15-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen In my 15 years of having been involved with this investment I have never seen the speed and urgency that Iraq is moving with like they are right now...Today is an exciting day to be an Iraqi dinar investor ...14 our of 23 ministers were voted on were confirmed. There's still a little bit more to go. However, he met the limit needed to be met in order for his government to be official...Since 2003 Iraq has never met the constitutional deadline with formation a government. Today signifies the first time in 23 years...If that's not something to get you excited, I don't know what is. It doesn't mean the dinar is going to revalue tomorrow, however, things are moving at a pace and a rate I have never seen before. If you are an Iraqi dinar holder you should be very very excited... 5-15-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man Parliament has successfully voted confidence in al-Zaidi as the new prime minister...After weeks of negotiation, Iraq finally has a functioning government...A stable government removes a major layer of uncertainty and give the economic ministries and the CBI operating room that they need. This is exciting because...this political piece has held things back...They're moving forward in a constructive direction. It's perfect. 5-15-2026 Newshound Guru Thom Al-Zaidi is PM. But the cabinet is half-built, the militia ministry battle resumes May 27, and the dinar doesn't move until dollar flows resume — which won't happen until Washington sees what al-Zaidi puts in Interior and Defense. The real story starts now. 5-15-2026 Intel Guru Bruce [via WiserNow] What we got from our sources in Iraq...was the new prime minister and...the cabinet of the Iraqi prime minister was to be fully seated and acknowledged as seated...And so... Ali Al zubaidi...is in as prime minister..I do not have confirmation yet as to whether that happened or not from our contacts in Iraq, but we'll see. 5-15-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Of all positions in the cabinet (besides finance minister or minister of the interior) this is definitely also one you don’t want Maliki medaling around in. He will most definitely mess up the current agreements made with Kurdistan and muck up the Oil and Gas Law now on the table in parliament. We need this law done to get us to the reinstatement...He actually wants to stop the Oil and Gas Law because he knows it will bring conclusion to this constitutional requirement, something the US is demanding prior to the reinstatement...This guy is bad news for any real progress in Iraq. [Post 2 of 2] 5-15-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: “WARNINGS AGAINST “MINISTERS OF FAILURE”… ADAI CALLS ON AL-ZIDI TO CONFRONT THE PRESSURES OF THE BLOCS AND APPOINT COMPETENT INDIVIDUALS TO MINISTERIAL POSITIONS” ...Yes, they are always filling these high paying govt jobs as favoritism rather that real skill to do a competent job. Is this also why we sit here over 20 years still waiting for the RV? We are about to see it again with Nouri al-Maliki getting either a vice-presidential position or even now he wants the minister of oil, a Zaidi’s cabinet position. Did he horse trade his vote to let in al-Zaidi for this?

5-14-2026 Newshound Guru Thom Question: "Will the 3 0’s be taken off the bills out of country? In other words 2.9 million in notes becomes 2900 times 3. That’s nothing. I paid almost that much" The new IQD will have 3 less zeros... The CBI will announce a new rate and people will exchange their dinar notes. Here in the US, we will be exchanging for USD, not IQD so this shouldn't matter to us. 5-14-2026 Newshound Guru Milita Man This is a really powerful time for what we're witnessing. Everybody is like, 'How long is it going to take? When's this going to take place?' They're not going to tell you the time or date. And they shouldn't. And they won't. They give us indicators of what's taking place. We haven't seen convergences like this in the history that I've been in...It's an evolution that's been taking place. It's been growing. 5-14-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen I believe the Iraqi dinar is not an end-all-be-all investment. It is going to be the first investment to happen and it's going to allow you to invest into other assets that's going to be able to greatly multiply your initial seed money that you get from this... 5-14-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff They're about to revalue, jump into the international world, expand local domestic trade, all that. Getting everything ramped up, jumping into more of a digital era banking reform. They're jumping out into a brand new world. 5-14-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: "When will dollar shipments arrive in Baghdad? Washington ignores the Central Bank, while al-Zidi prioritizes it" Quote: "Iraqi authorities are trying to find out the reasons for the delay in the latest shipments, but the Central Bank has not yet received any response from the American side." 5-14-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 You cannot be included into the global financial system at a sanctioned program rate. 5-14-2026 Newshound Guru Thom Question: "Should we sell at the bank as soon as the RV happens? Is there guaranteed to be an increase in dinar value at RV? How do I know it’s not going up MORE, and should wait to exchange it?" There are NO Guarantees on anything. And I don't think there will be a float. And I am going on day one if I am able. [Dinar Guru Note: Consult your asset protection and financial advisors at the appropriate time to determine the best exchange timing or your unique situation.] 5-14-2026 Newshound Guru Pimpy This new prime minister, it's interesting because he's an outsider. He's away from politics. He has no political experience whatsoever. The one thing I like about this new prime minister is the fact this man has...not just banking experience, but he has investment banking experience which can go a long ways in helping Iraq with what they're trying to accomplish in reforms in the banking industry and in return help strengthen the Iraqi dinar. 5-14-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man Take a picture of all these little articles that come out in the last three days and you put it all together and it's like, whoa! [Iraq] is integrating into the global financial system. 5-14-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff 100+ trillion dinar physically outside of Iraq...The central bank doesn't give two craps about it pertaining to the rate change...Here's its purpose...Basil III states countries can use foreign currencies to asset back their own country's currency...The United States has half of Iraq's money supply...along with all the dinar that we the people have...Once we go to exchange with our banks, our banks will turn around and give all that dinar back to the US Treasury...The United States is going to use all that physical dinar, the old 3 zero notes, to asset back the United States dollar because it's a Basil III compliance step...All the dinar outside of Iraq will be used for countries to asset back their own country's currency. 5-14-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: "Al-Zidi's government wins the confidence of the House of Representatives and takes the constitutional oath". Article 2: "The Iraqi parliament grants confidence to al-Zaidi's government and votes on 14 ministers" 5-14-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen If you hold the Iraqi dinar you are a very small select spirit led group of people...I don't know what's coming...There's a lot of prophecies or a lot of opinions that we're going to enter very hard times in the near future. I don't know if or when that's going to happen but I do believe this [Iraqi dinar RV] is going to create a lot of provision and abundance for a certain amount of people to get prepared... 5-14-2026 Newshound Guru Thom Question: "Can you explain the connection of the clarity act/crypto passing and the Rv? How are they tied." Because when currencies like the IQD revalue, that wealth has to move somewhere fast. A lot of people in this community plan to move a significant portion into XRP and other ISO 20022-compliant assets. Without regulatory clarity, exchanges can freeze accounts, flag transactions, or outright block large crypto purchases...The RV and crypto legislation aren't directly linked by design, but they're converging at the same moment for a reason. The rails are being built, the laws are being written, and the currencies are being positioned. All at the same time. That's not a coincidence. 5-14-2026 Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ Zaidi expected to make progress tomorrow on seating his government, CBI accelerates changes... 5-14-2026 Intel Guru Bruce [via WiserNow] ...we're hearing from our treasury sources that we get notified and or exchange Thursday or Friday of this week... that's from a very strong Treasury source... We did hear...that there was a conference call with redemption center leaders...it was enough to say they are preparing for us to exchange either Thursday or Friday of this week... I'm told that we will have all new rates on the screens Thursday... That tells us maybe that is our start...at this point, rates are sort of a secondary thing. We've got great rates...I'm very excited about possibility of us, us going this week...

5-13-2026 Newshound Guru Thom The Iraqi dinar could potentially be an overnighter. We'll wake up tomorrow and it'll be revalued at a new rate. The CBI will just announce it and bam, it'll happen. But the Vietnamese dong, I'm seeing evidence that's showing there's a strong potential that it'll float over a period of time...
5-13-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man The technical foundation for a real effective exchange rate is still being strengthened...The CBI is further along than the public narrative suggests...They are not waiting around. They're actively building the infrastructure needed for a cleaner, more credible strengthening of the dinar when the moment is right... 5-13-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Question: "How much time after the government is formed would the rate change happen?" It could happen within a few days to within the two closest weekends... 5-13-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen There's a lot of current things happening in the world that definitely suggest that the revaluation is a lot closer than we think. I think this summer is as good of a time for it to happen... 5-13-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: "How are the central bank's foreign reserves distributed?" Quote: "Economic expert Nabil Al-Marsoumi revealed the distribution of foreign reserves of the Central Bank of Iraq at the end of 2025, where the total foreign reserves amounted to $97.432 billion. According to the distribution, $24.221 billion of the reserve was allocated to gold held at the London Gold House, while the volume of US Treasury bonds amounted to $42 billion. The remaining $31.211 billion of the reserve was divided among several financial entities" 5-13-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] OMAR: We got some good news about our banking system. They say the banking system of Iraq is one of the most advanced in the world but we're one of the worst in the region also because there's no trust in these banks. Most of the money is being held outside of banks... FRANK: It's been set up by the United States to be as modern as possible...You cannot steal this money anymore. When did you last hear that somebody stole money from Iraq? ...There's a change coming. 5-13-2026 Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram President Trump recently stated he is seriously considering the idea of Venezuela becoming a part of the United States...Trump linked the proposal to Venezuela's enormous oil wealth. Venezuela holds some of the world's largest oil reserves. Trump claimed the reserves could be worth trillion of dollars...Venezuela remains one of the most strategically important oil-producing countries in the Western Hemisphere. Its location near the U.S. gulf coast refineries makes Venezuelan crude oil especially valuable to American energy markets. 5-13-2026 Newshound Guru Thom The Trump-Xi summit in Beijing is now the single most important external event for Iraq this week: if China delivers a framework that moves Iran toward a Hormuz deal, Iraqi oil revenue, the dinar, and the 2026 budget all recover simultaneously. 5-13-2026 Guest Guru Trader John [Response to Guru Fnu Lnu's 5-11-2026 dinar tax post below] I decided to re-check...IRS.gov website, & summarize them for you...IRS Publication 525 - Catalog Number 15047D - Taxable and Nontaxable Income... - page 33: "If you have a gain on a personal foreign currency transaction because of changes in exchange rates, you don't have to include that gain in your income unless it's more than $200. If the gain is more than $200, report it as a capital gain." IRS Topic no. 409, Capital gains and losses: " ...For taxable years beginning in 2025, the tax rate on most net capital gain is no higher than 15% for most individuals ... However, a capital gains rate of 20% applies to the extent that your taxable income exceeds...[$533,400]...Net short-term capital gains are subject to taxation as ordinary income at graduated tax rates." Taxpayers do not choose whether to report profits from Foreign currency transactions as capital gains or as ordinary income...the actual IRS law determines this fact and the defined rates! [Dinar Guru Note: Consult your tax and asset protection advisors to determine the ideal tax strategy for your unique circumstances.] 5-13-2026 Intel Guru Reset Intelligence Article: "Iraqi Parliament Schedules Vote on Confidence in Ali al-Zaidi Government" Watch everything fall into line like clock work this week. 5-13-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man Right now we have multiple major threads moving at once. We have the political government formation accelerating. We have the monetary banking issues being addressed in the news toady as the CBI publishes final stage valuations by the international audits for banks and explicit preparation for global financial integration... Then there's the Oil and Gas law on the table...for revenue sharing and long-term stability...and non-oil sectors are continuing to advance. All that's converging at the same time...This convergence is not random. It's the kind of multi front alignment that historically precedes bigger monetary steps... 5-13-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff A 'formed government', I didn't say completed, I said 'formed government' would allow them to be eligible to revalue the currency...They need a majority completion. 13, 14, 15... somewhere in that camp. Again, in order for them to be eligible to revalue they need a majority completed cabinet. Not a full completion. 5-13-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen It looks like the new prime minister's cabinet is not going to go through this week. I'm going to go out on a limb and speculate the government formation is probably not going to fully happen until the end of this month, if not sometime in June...This is generally how it goes in Iraq. They never meet timelines...The only caveat to that being is since the Trump administration has gotten involved we see they can no longer delay like they used to. 5-13-2026 Newshound Guru Thom Question: "In the past you’ve thought $4 for iqd. I respect your opinion, but why so much?" Under Saddam Hussein it was $3.22 and now, after 25 years of rebuilding, Iraq has more assets and resources to back their currency with. 5-13-2026 Guest Guru Ariel The IMF is demanding gold backing to stabilize the currency against fluctuations. President Nizar Amedi and Governor Ali al-Alaq have publicly stressed strengthening the dinar. You cannot anchor with gold, go fully cashless by July 2026, and maintain a weak, manipulated rate. 5-13-2026 Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ Article: "Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) MP Rudaw: Talks on the oil and gas law between Bagdad and Erbil have reached an agreement" They have not voted, they have reached an agreement and are expected to vote on it at the next legislation session... Huge news. 5-12-2026 Newshound Guru Thom Question: "Do you believe once the government is formed should we see a rate soon after?" Thom: Very possibly yes. Pres Amedi and PM Designate have already met with CBI Governor Alaq and asked him to raise the rate of the dinar. They need to do something before their economy collapses and they made HCL a priority to get the Kurds on board. 5-12-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man The last three years have delivered real milestones that include, reserve growth, gold accumulation, non-oil revenue expansion, ASYCUDA and TIR rollout, digital payments, port and corridor work, and banking modernization...Iraq is in a much stronger position now than before, which is exactly what sets the stage for a prudent REER move when the timing is right. Steady, factual, and forward-looking. The quiet work continues to show results. 5-12-2026 Boots-On-The-Ground Guru Omar The leader of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard has just shown up and surprised all of us here. He shouldn't be here. He is in Iraq today. He came to meet with the Coordinated Framework...They are telling us you cannot vote Zaini as prime minister the way Trump wants... 5-12-2026 Intel Guru Reset Intelligence Iraq is the 8th richest country on Earth by natural resources. Roughly $16 trillion is in the ground of Iraq. They have the 5th largest proven oil reserves. They have the second largest phosphate reserves...and their CBI gold reserves are up 45% in the past year...The current exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar is 1310 dinars to $1. This was set during reconstruction but was never meant to be permanent. This rate does not reflect the resource base Iraq has... 5-12-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 Mark my words in titanium. No Iranian influence in [Iraq's] government at all. No Iranian influence person, entity, organization, policy whatsoever...None of these are welcome in [Iraq] anymore. They are being kicked out for security and stability that will bring you your new exchange rate. 5-12-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu It is true that fees may run as much as 5% but that is usually on smaller amounts of Dinar. The average Dinar holder has one or two 25,000 IQD. They should expect a higher fee. 5-12-2026 Newshound Guru Thom A good friend of mine...works for the IRS in upstate New York. Yesterday he and I have been digging...IRC988...is one of our Internal Revenue manual codes...IRC 988 deals with how the IRS taxes gains and losses from foreign currency transactions. A foreign currency exchange rate gain happens when you deal in foreign currency...and the exchange rate changes. You end up with more dollars than expected...IRC section 988 considers it a foreign currency gain...By default IRC 988 gains/losses are taxed as ordinary income like wages, not capital gains. That means gains are taxed at your normal tax rate... [Dinar Guru Note: Consult your tax professional to determine the ideal tax strategy for your unique circumstances.] 5-12-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: "The Central Bank of Iraq: We are proceeding with reforming the banking sector and call for reliance on official sources" Quote: "The Central Bank of Iraq reiterated its commitment to continuing the implementation of the banking reform program with full transparency, in order to achieve its aspirations for developing the banking sector and enhancing its presence and integration into the global financial system." 5-12-2026 Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram How do we exchange our [Iraqi dinar] banknotes that we have for the digital currency or whatever currency that would allow us to participate in the increase in the value of the Iraqi dinar? We only have to look at Venezuela to see that there's a possibility that we really could exchange our Iraqi dinars in the US banking system. As we see right now the US banking system is gearing up to be able to facilitate Venezuela's currency...We know that is happening. We can only hope the same pattern would be followed with the Iraqi dinar... 5-12-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen There's so much corruption and so much evil happening behind the scenes that is being removed and it's being removed in a very aggressive fashion. It's not happening over months or year. This is happening within the last few weeks. Be positive, be confident, everything is working in our favor...It's coming soon... 5-12-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man Often you're going to see that Iraq is a rentier state and...90% of all revenues are from oil. That's not anymore. Article quote: "Iraq's oil revenues which account for more than 84% of Iraq's expenditures..." That's not 90%. 5-12-2026 Boots-On-The-Ground Guru Omar We are seeing tons and tons and tons of what looks like drones flying all over Iraq. They're flying everywhere. They're all coming from the same direction - Iran. There are so many of them. They're just flying. They're not doing anything. They're everywhere. Iran is threatening us with these drones. We are fearing these drones are to scare us if we vote in the prime minister or if we don't give them someone who is loyal to the regime of Iran. The drones are here. They're flying all over Baghdad, Kurdistan, all over our country...They have rule over our sky. 5-12-2026 Newshound Guru Thom SADR'S BOMBSHELL: "I WILL DISSOLVE MY MILITIA IF ALL FACTIONS DO THE SAME" Quote: "In a landmark May 8 statement, Muqtada al-Sadr announced he is prepared to hand Saraya al-Salam (his armed wing) to the Commander-in-Chief and dissolve the Promised Day Brigade — on the condition that all armed factions do the same...This is the most explicit disarmament offer from any Shia faction leader in the modern history of Iraqi politics." SADR DISARMAMENT TRIGGERS DOMINO — SOME FACTIONS SAY YES, TWO SAY NO. 5-12-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "EXPERTS: “SECURITY GUARANTEES” ARE A PREREQUISITE FOR THE RETURN OF INTERNATIONAL COMPANIES AND MISSIONS TO IRAQ" This article could not articulate any better why Trump wants these militia and factions out of Iraq...this issue of the PMF [Popular Mobilization Forces] is of high priority and on the CBI list of the top five issue prior to any Reinstatement? 5-10-2026 Feeling Old? $20,000+ Technology — Now Under $1,500 72% of Americans wake up every day in pain and exhausted — feeling years older than they should.
