8-4-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  I really hate when people make the Iraqi dinar investment look foolish because this is a real investment.  I believe in the Iraqi dinar revaluation more today than ever before...

8-4-2026   Newshound Guru Samson  Article:  "IRAQ BOUGHT $1.3 BILLION WORTH OF GOLD LAST YEAR"

8-4-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   This article is from Father's Day of 2021 and is by the financial advisor Salih (former #2 guy at the central bank under Shabibi) "Monetary systems aspire to remove the burden of historical inflation from the folds of the monetary unit by resorting to deleting 3 zeros from the old currency to equalize new currency with lower numbers but with the same value."  He's talking about 2 currencies coexisting together with the same value.  The same value being pegged against a foreign currency such as the US dollar...They're going from larger 3-zero notes down to single digit notes, probably nothing above 100 plus coins.  That's because their inflation is very very low...around 3%.

8-4-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   A pattern is being set and followed that can lead to the increase in the value of the Iraqi dinar.  It's a fact that can not be ignored that Iraq is continuing to build the financial infrastructure of countries participating fully in the global economy...

8-4-2026   Newshound Guru Kaperoni  If your country is only worth $16 trillion dollars, how could you RV 100 trillion dinar at 1 to $1? Where would you come up with the other $84 trillion dollars when your country is broke?  Come on people wake up!

8-4-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  Question: "Will Frank have an 800 number?"  Frank26:  No.  Allow me to tell you where the 800# is.  Get your credit card.  Turn it around.  You see the 800# for that bank that represents that card.  There's your 800#.  Call them and ask them if they exchange foreign currency.  The other 800# you need is the United States Treasury's phone number... They'll  tell you what banks are exchanging.  

8-4-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Iraqi salaries running late is not news. What is new is Baghdad stopped excusing the delays and started explaining them, on the record, with numbers attached. The government confirmed a liquidity crisis and said salaries will be delayed. The monthly salary bill is 10.8 trillion dinars. Domestic revenue against it is 2.5 to 3.5 trillion...The Central Bank of Iraq is sitting on $93.7 billion in reserves, under a gold pile rising in value...A state that rich does not have to plead poverty. It is choosing to...The Prime Minister's own money adviser told the financial press that every salary is fully secured...Iraq has told its people this exact story twice before, and both times it impacted the official rate. The crisis on the screen is the preparation, not the emergency.  Baghdad is readying its citizens for the moment Iraq's money changes.

8-4-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  Article: "THE PARLIAMENTARY FINANCE COMMITTEE PROPOSES PRINTING MONEY TO SECURE SALARIES INSTEAD OF RAISING THE EXCHANGE RATE"  This shows the political temperature around the salary bill is high. Some prefer the short-
term liquidity tool of printing over an exchange-rate step...Printing more dinars...is a short-term monetary expansion and carries inflation risk. A coordinated rate adjustment...would implement a REER-style realignment of the dinar...The pressure is real and the debate is quite active.

8-4-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  You might not know this but Kuwait invalidated huge quantities of stolen currency.  Many holders of the stolen notes discovered they couldn't exchange them.  Imagine smuggling millions or billions of dinar...and you go to turn it in and it's like, nope, it's null and void.  The Kuwaiti government refused reimbursement for certain serial number ranges tied to the theft...A lot of people talk about the large money supply in Iraq as being the argument against a possible Iraqi dinar revaluation...I would argue to say the amount of Iraqi dinar smuggled and stolen from the central bank over the last 23 years...far outweighs the amount that international investors currently hold.  Is Iraq going to put something similar in place comparable to what Kuwait did in the early '90s to make a lot of that stolen currency is null and void?  ...That would greatly reduce the money supply in a split second.

8-4-2026   Newshound Guru Samson   Article:  "THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF PRINTED CURRENCY IN IRAQ IS 113 TRILLION DINARS, AND 94% OF IT IS 
OUTSIDE THE BANKS"


8-4-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff    Article quote: "Iraq has experienced a shortage of dinar liquidity making it increasingly difficult for the government to finance public sector salaries and operational expenditures."  This news right here to me suggests the rate is most likely going to change in this month of August.  They can't go months without paying the salaries.  They can't.

8-4-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  ...remember...the President Trump administration’s plan to turn the middle east around to a peaceful place...Article: “AN AMERICAN PLOY TO IMPLEMENT THE NEW MIDDLE EAST PROJECT… WILL IRAQ SWALLOW THE BAIT?”  We can already begin to see serious groundwork being laid for this reality to happen.  This article...is telling us without any reservations that Iraq is part of the bigger plan and will be a direct player in this Trump plan. But Trump will also need the cooperation of the Iraq officials to be successful. Folks we can already see the RV taking shape with Al-Sheikh’s plan and the intent behind it... my CBI contact told me they would begin a campaign once again to educate the citizens of the process to swap out their currency to a new set. It is coming...Trump will need the IQD back on FOREX for his plan. 

8-4-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]  ...There is so much conflicting information that its just nuts. But I believe it will be a very interesting week. 

8-3-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  Let's start preparing.  Let's start thinking in terms of, if the dinar happens tomorrow, am I prepared?  Do I have all my ducks in a row?  Am I financially responsible to handle an amount of wealth I've never handled before?  You need to start thinking through that because when the revaluation happens a lot of people are going to be extremely emotional.  You're not going to know what to do.  You're probably going to end up making mistakes and doing things that looking back you're going to regret.  Start having a plan, start putting things together, start thinking through the process...

8-3-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Question: "Is there any connection between Iraq's currency revelation rumors and the US Digital Asset Market Clarity Act?"  Jeff:  No.  The Clarity Act has nothing to do with Iraq or the revaluation.  That's a law to the United States.  Forget about the Clarity Act...

8-3-2026   Newshound Guru Kaperoni    The Iraqi dinar is not a lotto ticket. It's a real currency that follows sound principles guided by organizations such as the World Bank, IMF, and most recently the US Treasury...Currencies are managed by their central banks and in the case of Iraq they're currently on a fixed peg exchange rate regime which won't be appropriate as their economy diversifies. It is expected that they will move to some type of float allowing the dinar to gradually appreciate incrementally as their own economy begins to prosper and diversify. All of this takes significant time.  Be assured, it won't be a random act.

8-3-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article:  "Exclusive: America stipulates the dismantling of factions in exchange for releasing $30 billion of 'Saddam's 
money
' " Quote:  “Washington had previously promised to release this financial guarantee, and action was supposed to be taken on it during Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi’s visit to Washington. However, the US administration did not instruct Congress to approve the disbursement of the suspended financial guarantee, which is estimated at $30 billion.”

8-3-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   The monetary reform education of the process of lifting the three zeros is beginning to be explained in great detail almost every day now to all the Iraqi citizens.  That is the phase you are in...

8-3-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  Important news coming out of the Central Bank of Iraq.  Iraq is making steps to rejoin the global banking system.  We know, as investors, there will be little to no currency adjustment until Iraq's banks are able to communicate with banks worldwide, internationally.  Before 1990 Iraqi banks were part of the global financial system.  Then  Saddam.. attacked Kuwait and Iraq was placed under sanctions...Now, when they went back to rejoin, they found out they couldn't because high-tech had changed the landscape of banks worldwide.  Iraq needs to do some serious upgrades...Iraq is now openly talking about the steps they are making to rejoin the international banks...The US Treasury is directly involved.  This may be the most significant part...

8-3-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Iraq's smallest banknotes have vanished from the market stalls. Baghdad sent its top financial advisor on TV to explain why.  He is the same official who wrote the plan to replace them with coins, 15 years ago. Newsflash...Coins only exist where the smallest unit of a currency is worth something. The IQD at today's rate does not justify a single coin press. So what is Baghdad preparing?

8-3-2026   Newshound Guru Samson  Article: "IRAQI PRIVATE BANKS ARE FACING INCREASING PRESSURE TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE US FEDERAL RESERVE AND HAVE SANCTIONS LIFTED"

8-3-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  There are no "tiers" getting paid out.  No one is getting paid out before anyone else.  When the dinar value changes, it is going to change simultaneously for everyone.  No one is getting paid first.  No one is on a special list.  No one is getting an "800 number"...The dinar is showing on Forex at a certain rate, guys, it's not true...

8-3-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Question: "How does [dropping the zeros] give [Iraqi citizens] purchasing power?" Jeff:  A 25 note, the smaller notes, could buy the same amount as the larger notes.  In other words, you can do more with less.

8-3-2026   Newshound Guru Ariel   Iraq Is Telling You What They Are About To Do:  Currency Overhaul; Monetary Reformation; Gold Revaluation; Financial Stability.  Do You See The Timing? Do You See The Agenda? Do You See The Progress?  Redenomination + Revaluation = ?   Payday!  The 3 Zero Project Are In-Country Only.

8-3-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ  [via PDK]  “Will the Iraqi Government remove three zeros from the Iraqi dinar?” They are talking about it again in the news. It is clear that because of the war and closing the Strait of Hormuz that something needs to happen.  In the past Dr. Shabibi did a great breakdown. Their “White Papers” did a great breakdown on how they will restore the dinar value and issue lower denomination notes into the market. They told us over and over again that they will not just drop the 3 zeros and our 25,000 notes just become 25. This will not be a lop…they have told us the purchasing power of the dinar increases and will be more than the dollar again and they will issue new LD notes. They will increase its value and restore it to its former glory. As a worst case in this article they allude to the dinar being roughly the value of a buck (1$).

8-2-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Question:  "Why is it so hard to find a bank as of right now to take IQD?"  Because Iraq is under OFAC sanctions.  You have to go to brokers...Maybe CitiBank and I've heard of maybe one other bank right now that sell Iraqi dinar, but most of the basic large banks in the United States do not exchange the Iraqi dinar because they are under US OFAC sanctions.  Do not go into banks asking them about the Iraqi dinar.  They're going to kindly tell you to exit their facility and get out.  It's a waste of your time.  Don't do it.

8-2-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   At the end of the day...you're responsible for your own decisions...If you take advice from the wrong people and you lose it all, you're going to have no one to blame but yourself...

8-2-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   Question:  "If an Iraqi citizen has 10 million IQD will they be worth 10 million USD?"  No.  Iraqi citizens are not going to experience anything like that.  I know it's difficult for you to understand...Let's pretend you have a 25K note.  They're going to make it a 25 note...They're not going to take a pair of scissors and cut the three zeros out...They're going to take the scissors and electronically cut the three zeros from the exchange rate...That's $0.00085791 ...That's where it's being lifted from.  $0.86 that's what they're doing.

8-2-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  Iraq continues to implement banking reforms, expand non-oil revenues and improve its financial system.  While no official currency adjustment has been announced investors are watching closely for continued economic reforms and any announcements.

8-2-2026   Boot-On-The-Ground Guru Omar   On TV...they said it was a redenomination.  That word was used a lot...They said because it is a redenomination we citizens inside of our country, wouldn't lose any money but it won't be any value gained.  It would be more of an accounting process.  They said beware of any words you hear about a revaluation...That's why they were talking about the deletion of the zeros...They won't let everybody know about the examples outside [Iraq].  They're talking to us about the examples of in country. 

8-2-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   Do Baghdad's two empty [cabinet] chairs get filled first with the Iraqi militias disarming after or do the weapons go first and the cabinet forms behind them?  Gaza runs one way the armed movement hands over its weapons under supervision and only then does a new government step onto the ground it leaves.  The weapons go first and authority follows.  Our read is that Baghdad runs in that same order and the two chairs stay empty for exactly this reason.  Nobody is handed Interior and Defense, the seats that decide who commands Iraq's guns until it is settled whose guns still exist.  The disarmament is not the obstacle standing in front of the cabinet it is the thing that has to clear before the Iraqi cabinet can mean anything at all.

8-2-2026   Newshound Guru Samson  Article:  "WASHINGTON BEGINS WITHDRAWING ITS LAST TROOPS FROM IRAQ AND KURDISTAN, ENDING ITS MILITARY PRESENCE"

8-2-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu  Didn't say why the State Dept had IQD. I was told the IQD were obtained through Currency Swaps...The first two batches were at a rate of 4000 to 1 USD. Some early investors bought at that rate too. They have already tripled their money which is why there are so many private "whales" now.  I FOIA'd about 20 or more institutions ...Every FOIA was a denial except the UST and SoS (Secretary of State). If I remember correctly, it was 2010. There was a lot going on at the time. The FBI contacted me...They requested I take the site down...It was private and members had to be invited...They [the FBI] were very unhappy with the site. [Post 2 of 2]

8-2-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu  [Response to Guru Jeff's 7-29-2026 FOIA post below]  That was my group...I FOIA'd [Freedom of Information Act] everyone and got some pretty shocking info. The FBI shut that site down...I asked if they were involved in the exchange and they said no. They denied everything. This was the big banks. Jaimie Dimon was a real ass and put a nasty note in his response. Turns out the UST and the State Department both had IQD. 20 trillion in UST and 12 trillion at State Department.   [Post 1 of 2]

8-2-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff    Article:  "Will the the federal government Remove Three Zeros from the Iraqi Dinar?"  The perception of that goes two directions:  You have what's going to happen inside Iraq and outside of Iraq...They say in the article two currencies will exist together at the same value.  A 25,000 note and a 25 note existing together at the same value.  If the value of [a dinar] against the dollar is $3.00...The multiplier is three because it's a $3.00 value.  25,000 becomes $75,000.  25 becomes $75.  That's outside Iraq.   Inside Iraq...you have what dinar could purchase before the rate change and what dinar could purchase after the rate changes.  Before the rate change a 25,000 dinar note could buy a bag of groceries.  After the rate change, the 25 note could buy that same bag of groceries...This article is telling you a redenomination is going to occur...in country, not outside the country...

8-2-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   Everything is hinging on the Central Bank of Iraq changing the rate.  That's what we're all speculating and hoping for.  If there are deadlines or compliance deadlines they are trying to get finalized that's a big tell for something coming in the near future.  Article:  "Iraqi banks accelerate US compliance measures"  The US Treasury and Central Bank are working in accordance with each other to get these compliance measures finalized...It's reported that Iraqi bank employees are working 12 hours days to meet certain deadlines. Quote: "Iraq private banks are in an all out sprint to meet new compliance requirements set by the Central Bank of Iraq and the US Treasury."  Iraqi banks are up against tight deadlines which is good for us...I'm excited from everything I'm seeing.

8-2-2026   Newshound Guru Ariel   The WTO accession timeline is critical. Iraq’s Working Party at the WTO...has been finalizing tariff schedules and trade facilitation agreements through 2026... When Iraq enters the WTO as a full member with ASYCUDA operational its trade settlements need a currency that functions at international par value.  You cannot settle WTO-compliant trade with a currency carrying three phantom zeros. The redenomination is a prerequisite for accession not a reward after it.

8-2-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]  There are rumors that some Whales have started processing in Reno but I cannot confirm them.  But there are so many rumors running around right now…. 

8-1-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Going back to the 60's the value of Iraq's currency has always been $3+ and slightly above Kuwait's currency...Kuwait's currency value today is at $3.22...Historically Iraq has always been above Kuwait slightly.  

8-1-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen 
 I don't think there's a date on the calendar that says the dinar is going to revalue on this specific date.  I think it's a moving timeline and certain things have to get done for that event to happen.  I believe we are  closer than ever.  Do I believe August could be the month?  Absolutely.  But we simply don't know...Let's be calm, patient,  grounded...I know it's exciting...Be positive, filled with expectancy but remain grounded and level-headed...  

8-1-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  February 2023: CBI officials publicly denied any rate change was coming. Then, overnight... the rate moved from ~1,450 to ~1,310 IQD per dollar. No Clarity Act. No US legislation. No global crypto event. A central bank made a sovereign decision.

8-1-2026   Newshound Guru Kaperoni  If Iraq is ever going to increase the value of the dinar it has to be done gradually over time so that they can remove the currency that's in circulation. This process would allow it to gradually rise based on the economic  growth and success of their own economy. That is a real possibility, but it would take months, years to achieve any significant  appreciation in the value.

8-1-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  Question: "My first stash of currency was stolen so I can't redeem it, but I could be on [the US Treasury] list.  I don't want to pay taxes [on the stolen notes]."  Don't worry about that.  You will pay taxes on the currency that you exchange. If you have a million dinars and it burned in the fire, you're not responsible for it to turn it in.  You have a million dinars and you bury it in your backyard and you just want to leave it there because that's what you want to do, that's your prerogative.  It's not until you exchange it that you have to pay Uncle Sam. 

8-1-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  In 1980 the Zimbabwe dollar ZWD was introduced.  Zimbabwe become independent from Britain.  The Zimbabwe dollar replaced the Rhodesian dollar.  It was stronger than the US dollar - approximate value 1 ZWD = $1.47 ...Iraq as never been in the position Zimbabwe has been in.  Zimbabwe doesn't have billions of dollars of oil revenue each month...Iraq is so much more.  Its economy is more stable than Zimbabwe has ever been.  Yet Zimbabwe is presenting 1 ZIG = $.036 after falling in a deep hole of economic depression...Today the ZIG is more stable but the US dollar remains widely used in the country...In Zimbabwe they were given 3 weeks to exchange the old ZIM currency for the new ZIG currency which is backed by gold.

8-1-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Baghdad keeps doing quiet, boring, specific things to its money that only make sense in one direction.

8-1-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff    What brought the value of the dinar down?  It was Iraq getting placed under US sanctions.  US OFAC sanctions very simply brought the value down.  What happens when you take the sanctions off?  It reinstates back to where it was.  In '03 sanctions devalued it from $3.22 so when you take the sanctions off it should put it right back up again...

8-1-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  The most important thing you need to worry about and the most important thing you need to do once the revaluation happens is get your [USD] money in your [bank] account.  Get your dinar exchanged.  The most important thing you need to do is just go to a bank.  Make sure you're going to the right bank and the right branch...You have to be wise... [Dinar Guru Note:  Consult your financial and asset protection professionals at the appropriate time to determine the ideal exchange plan for your unique circumstances.]

8-1-2026   Newshound Guru Ariel    Iraq’s Currency Reset As The Gateway: Iraq’s Central Bank...has been executing the Deletion of Three Zeros project in coordination with the International Monetary Fund’s Middle East Technical Assistance Center. The mechanics are straightforward on paper. The current 25,000 dinar note gets replaced by a 25 new dinar note with equivalent purchasing power. The exchange rate adjusts from approximately 1,310 IQD per USD to a projected range between 1.00 and 3.22 new IQD per USD depending on which internal CBI projection you access. 

8-1-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]    If the rumors are correct…we may have a heck of a weekend…a heck of a week. In a nutshell they believe the Clarity bill will pass this weekend and get stamped and approved.  I was told this is the final trigger to release everything all at once. A shotgun start. There is a process once they do pull the trigger. It may take a few days to complete. A lot of bond people who are so tired of hearing “next week” feel like this really is the trigger. I am hearing this from a number of bond contacts and one currency group. 

8-1-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]   The weekend is definitely in play. The weekend we're hearing from several sources is going to be the kickoff, the beginning, and I believe they're thinking in terms of Saturday, now if we do start Saturday...Redemption centers will be open... , they'll stay open Sunday...as you guys know, there's no contract rate on the dinar except at the redemption center...Wells Fargo is in charge of the redemption centers in the United States.  


7-31-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Trump made two statements [back in his first term].  1. They need to pay us.   2. We have 35 billion of their money... How could we have $35 billion worth of their money and still not be paid?  It's because he was secretly referencing the Iraq dinar...The Iraqi dinar has no value...

7-31-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   The three zeros are going to be removed from two different areas.  1.  From the decimal representation of the value of the Iraqi dinar, which is $0.00076.  When they lift the three zeros take the decimal point and move it over to the right...You got $0.76...At the blink of an eye, at the flip of a switch, 76 cents will become $1.00... 2. Take that 25k note that you got in your hand.  Go to the bank.  Trade it in for an American currency.  They just lifted the three zeros physically from you and the market.

7-31-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   If the dinar revalues at $1.00 wouldn't all the Iraqi citizens become millionaires?  ...It's a very valid question to ask...A change in the exchange rate doesn't automatically create new wealth for everyone in Iraq.  It changes the value of the currency relative to other currencies...Their purchasing power increases but they don't automatically  become an overnight millionaire because the cost of living, cost of goods, everything is adjusted in accordance with the new exchange rate...Foreign investors like us are in a different position...If the exchange rate becomes much stronger...then the investor can realize a significant gain when converting back into US dollars.  An Iraqi citizen is different because they already earn, spend, and save mostly in Iraqi dinar.  Their daily expenses and cost of living is also in Iraq dinar.  They're not making the same type of foreign exchange trade that we are.

7-31-2026   Newshound Guru Kaperoni  Question: "Before the Iraq war, their exchange rate was $3.22 based almost solely on oil production. Add 20 years inflation, all seized corruption dinars destroyed, plus 40% new non-oil revenues. Why can’t IQD revalue near $5?"  Because in the 80s, 90s Iraq's money supply was in the billions. They started printing more currency in the late 90s and hyper inflation set in, the dinar tanked to 3000 to $1.  Currently, there's over 100 trillion new dinar in circulation so there can't be a significant RV.

7-31-2026   Boot-On-The-Ground Guru Omar  All of our CBI friends here want you to know they're lifting the three zeros but it's more of an accounting for us citizens.  When they lift the three zeros you [international dinar holders] are thinking you going to be rich.  We're not thinking that because it's not going to be rich for us...What is happening inside our country is nothing more but a redenomination.  It's for accounting purposes...They gave us an example, 1310, drop the three zeros comes 131 dinar.  They said...do not look for any value but you won't lose any value.  We won't lose, even though we lost three zeros...They say...foreign investors not to benefit from...It'll be more of an event that's going to help all of our banks...major accounts...employee  accounts... salaries...contracts, everything is going to be much easier to handle and work with by dropping the zeros.  They make this very clear.

7-31-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  "The proposal to remove three zeros from the Iraqi dinar would normally require legislation, making it a politically sensitive issue that may be difficult to pass in Parliament...The Prime Minister requested that the Federal Supreme Court of Iraq issue an interpretive ruling regarding the powers of the Council of Ministers under Article 80, Paragraph Third of the Iraqi Constitution, which authorizes the Council to issue decisions, regulations, and instructions...This ruling opens the door for the government to proceed with removing the three zeros from the Iraqi dinar through a governmental regulation, without first obtaining parliamentary approval."  [Post 2 of 2]

7-31-2026   Newshound Guru Clare   Article:  "Will the Federal Government Remove Three Zeros from the Iraqi Dinar?"  Quote:   "The government is now considering two further options: First: Domestic and foreign borrowing. Second: Removing three zeros from the Iraqi dinar.  The Iraqi government is reportedly considering deleting three zeros from the national currency. For example: 25,000 Iraqi dinars would become 25 dinars after removing three zeros. Likewise, all other currency denominations would be adjusted  accordingly. Instead of expressing figures in billions, they would be expressed in millions. The objective of this move is to preserve the value of the Iraqi dinar...It also intends to revalue the exchange rate against the U.S. dollar. For example, after removing the three zeros, US$100 could be exchanged for 150 Iraqi dinars instead of the current denomination..."   [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

7-31-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  The sequence we are watching, IMO, is not [cabinet] seats first.  It is the weapons question answered, then the chairs filled, then the Iraqi budget, then the rate...The order the Board of Peace just put on television [about Gaza]...Watch Baghdad for any sign the Iraqi militias are drifting toward the September 30th handover instead of digging in...

7-31-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Iraq has been stalling and delaying the cabinet all the way since May with making no efforts to try to resolve the cabinet.  That's because the cabinet isn't an issue.  They know who they want to put in there.  Everything is scheduled to the rate change. The rate change itself is scheduled.  That's the critical component to this.  Everything has to happen around what is the rate change date.  They're timing the cabinet completion with what is the rate change date.

7-31-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  I picked my jaw from the ground and said, what does this mean?  He says, we're close...those numbers keep changing and it's been for a little over a week and that's why he decided to reach out and ask me meet with him.  Those numbers were higher than I thought they would be and the number also changed while I was there. So he was telling the truth, the numbers are changing all the time.  I was not at a local bank so please do not start bothering the banks about this conversation.  Let it happen.  Let it flow.  We're close...He said we would be talking very soon and we have a lot to do...there are no delays.  There are no red flags.  There are no red lights.  He said this is on and popping and that was the end of the conversation.  We're there.

7-31-2026   Intel Guru Frank26    [California bank story]   I got a call yesterday ...he wanted to meet with me one on one...I've already done business with them through investments but this was a higher up VP.  I went to his office in downtown...The question he asked first was, you've been a customer with us for a long time...along with owning all of these dinars?  I was like, yeah, but you already know that...what's the reason for the meeting?...He said, from our conversation you know we're getting pretty close.  He said, the main reason why I brought you here today is to show you.  He turned his PC screen around and showed me a list of numbers and a list of names and codes.  He said, do you know the code for the Iraq dinar?  I said, yeah...the color of IQD was in red. The numbers did not start with a decimal point and there were no zeros on that screen for the IQD.   [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]]

We have to go back to the Iranian backed politicians, militias and factions based in Iraq...we need to 
relax and just let it all play out...When a timeline arises for the RV we will know because my contact in the CBI will be on top of it.  [Post 2 of 2]

7-31-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]  ...banks might not be ready to exchange until the 20th or 21st first of August, and yet redemptions are prepared to exchange as early ...the 30th of July and go 21 days, which would take them to the 20th of  August. 

7-30-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  The most important thing you're going to do when the dinar revalues is you are going to take it to a bank...Chase JP Morgan, which is planning to open multiple branches in Iraq, Bank of America, Citi Bank, Wells Fargo...You're obviously not going to keep your money in that bank for too long.  Hopefully you're going to be smart and you're going to reinvest that money into other assets.  But the initial exchange you're going to take your dinar to a bank. [Dinar Guru Note:  Consult your financial and asset protection professionals at the appropriate time to determine the ideal exchange plan for your unique circumstances.]

7-30-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  They're telling you they're having a liquidity crisis around the time they're preparing to revalue.  One of their goals when they go to revalue is to get the large 3-zero notes out of circulation.  That's what they're working towards...The timing of this isn't coincidental.  They could never tell you they were doing this to prepare to revalue it... They're  telling you they have a currency liquidity shortage... that's the step they would do when they're preparing to revalue...It's called timing.

7-30-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  While corrupt militias still hold ground and threaten the region, no budget passes, no oil law moves, and the dinar stays pinned where it is. That is the real reason the prime minister has spent the month moving from capital to capital. Washington wants the militias disarmed by September 30. Tehran arms them...He is settling, city by city, whose fighters lay down their weapons and whose do not. Force comes first. The money comes second. That is the order every currency reset in history has run in, and Iraq is standing right on the turn.

7-30-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  My teams told me to look for the 3-zero lifting education and the lower notes education at the end of this month and that's exactly what I am seeing...These are the things that should give you peace in your heart that what you're involved in is a reality...This whole month has been a plethora of information on our monetary reform. These are the things we dreamed about...

7-30-2026   Newshound Guru Pimpy  Community comment: "The dinar is a scam...it's never going to revalue."  Every time you increase or decrease the exchange rate THAT is a revalue...Around 2019 you could get 1,100 dinars for every $1.  A lot of us remember that.  Due to economic pressure and decline in oil revenues...the Central Bank of Iraq devalued the dinar to approximately 1,460 dinars for every $1...The dinar was revalued on December 12, 2025 to its current rate of 1310 dinars per $1. Each one of those is a revaluation.  For him to say it's never going to revalue is just not true.  The dinar itself is not a scam.  There are a lot of people out there...that are running a scam, but...it's a legitimate currency.

7-30-2026   Newshound Guru Kaperoni    The Iraqi dinar is a real currency. Real currencies are guided by sound principles, economic decisions and guidance from organizations like the IMF.   Nobody is going to turn the dinar into a lottery ticket.

7-30-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   Do we have the current banknotes from Iraq?  Yes.  But here's the concern.  The Iraqi government and the IMF keeps pushing the digital payment system and people outside of Iraq cannot easily obtain an Iraqi bank account.  I tried...Thus this may leave us in a position where we must travel in order to exchange our banknotes.  Certainly there will be a time limit and no doubt there will be an exchange amount limit...For those of you who keep telling me over and over again that we will be able to exchange the IQD in US banks in America, I hope you are right.  We all hope you are right. 

7-30-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  The Iraqi citizens have been hoarding Iraqi dinar for the last 23 years...They don't trust the digital banking system because it's been lacking in Iraq for many many years...Iraq's banking system has been so far behind.   But that has all been brought up to par.  We are entering a phase where it's time to start pulling in all of those old denominations  and all that cash from the Iraqi citizens so they could start going digital.  I'm speculating here but the easiest way to do that is to issue new denominations and give those new denominations higher value to incentivize the Iraqi citizens to come in and to suck in all those dinar notes, you know, wink wink, dinar revaluation.

7-30-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Saudi and the United States struck Iran foreign backed militias within Iraq.  To me that's probably the very last final piece to this from a security angle.  The Iran militias were outstanding so they're being dealt with.  They probably put a nice dent or removed them... There's still probably some remaining though.

7-30-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Mazhar Muhammad Salih, the Prime Minister's financial advisor, went on camera about the missing 250 and 500 dinar notes. Paper wears out, he said. He also pointed out that Iraq, unlike most countries, still uses paper for small change where the world uses coins. The currency overhaul Iraq's central bank has kept on file since 2011 puts coins at the small end of the new money, and the official who fronted that plan back then is the same advisor who sat in the studio this week. Coins only exist where the smallest unit of a currency is worth something.

7-30-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  I said is there any other way we can validate it?  She goes, yes..I can just punch in the serial number and the CBI, Central Bank of Iraq will be able to tell me if it's real or not.  Then we ran the VND.  She switched it on the screen.  All the VND went through with no problem.  It spit out the amount and how many bills on the screen.  I said, can you tell me the rate?  She goes, I can tell you the rate of the VND right now but I can't tell you the IQD rate because I can't see it yet...I said just out of giggles lets take the whole entire stack of IQD and run it through at one time, the lower notes and the big notes...The same thing happened.  The same three bills were spit out...I put everything back in my bank bag...She goes, Mr. D I understand why you've been nagging us and why our bank manager is taking real good care of you.  I see this in front of me now and I can't wait to help you.  It's a lot of money.  And the cashier beside her said, and it's so pretty.  [Post 2 of 2]

7-30-2026   Intel Guru Frank26    [San Antonio, Texas Bank Story]  I spotted a De LaRue machine on the counter.  I was like, is that a new machine?  She said no...I've had it for about a year but it just got a major update...The bank manager said, you know we've been itching to use this new software update.  Why don't you coming in tomorrow and test it out...The next day I came in with all my IQD and Vietnam dong...We ran through the IQD first.  It liked everything except for two bills. She said the machine didn't say they were counterfeit, so I'm not going to confiscate these two bills, but it's probably because they're worn or maybe a corner is bent or something...I said ok...let me see if it will take my smaller...250s, 500s, 1000s, 5000s and 10,000 bills.  She ran them through with no problem except for one bill.  It was a 1,000 note and it was a little worn...

7-30-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]  ...you guys know that we're very close on this thing...we do have some information that came from a couple of different sources that are that are very reliable...what we're getting is that Redemption Center leaders have been contacted, and they've been told that they have to go in to the Redemption Center before noon on Thursday...and this is where it gets really interesting. And continue on a schedule...for 21 days, including Sundays...this is for exchanges to be taking place, redemption of Zim, and exchanges of currencies at the redemption centers...we have some information that says that we will be able to exchange starting as early as...Thursday afternoon, or Friday... Supposedly, the banks will are not "quote unquote" ready to exchange yet, and that they would be ready to exchange starting the 20th or 21st of August. 

7-30-2026   Newshound Guru Ross   IQD RV stuff right here, I don’t care what anyone says... Authority is being asserted, not negotiated...Old Iraq style = ministers can stall mega-projects for factional, Iranian, or personal reasons and nothing happens...New Iraq under al-Zaidi = the PM humiliates you on live TV next to a major foreign leader until you execute. That is a different operating system... The resistance itself is the tell...The minister’s hesitation...fits the pattern of the old guard / Iranian-leaning elements still trying to slow-walk strategic files.  Al-Zaidi overrode it on camera.  That is the exact behavior IQD investors have been waiting to see from the new government ... more forced execution on the files that actually matter for fiscal strength and investor confidence.

7-30-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   Question:  Are the Internet Groups getting a better rate?  Yes, that is our belief, that is what we have been told from day one that we do get a better rate...what that is, what's the difference, I don't know...I just know yes, we get a better rate. 

7-29-2026   Newshound Guru Kaperoni  There is no Global Currency Reset.  This is proven already because most currencies in the world already float which means are already priced where they should be.

7-29-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Iraq talks out of both sides of their mouth...Articles are partially true and partially misleading.  They have some truth and some inaccuracies in them...Unfortunately we don't control Iraq news, they do.  We're waiting to receive the biggest blessing of our lives from this.  We have to stay grounded and let the news play out and move forward.

7-29-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   Washington is drawing a new map of the world's money.  The IQD sits in the middle of that map and is still not priced anywhere near the value of whats coming for the region.

7-29-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article: "Why have small denominations disappeared from the markets? Al-Zaydi's advisor reveals the reasons" Quote "The Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, revealed on Wednesday the reasons for the scarcity of small denominations of currency in Iraqi markets, stressing that this is mainly related to their paper nature and the high speed of their circulation, which leads to their deterioration within a short period of time...Iraqi markets are experiencing ongoing suffering due to the scarcity of small denominations of currency, such as 250 and 500 dinars, which puts citizens and shop owners in front of frequent difficulties in completing daily buying and selling transactions."

7-29-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   Question:   "What IQD notes will not be accepted?"  That is the 50 (not the 50k).  They're not going to accept any of the Swiss notes...it's got a picture of Saddam.

7-29-2026   Boot-On-The-Ground Guru Omar  The redenomiation is a framework event.  It is not a payoff event.  It cleans up the monetary system, improves credibility and it lays the runway for a sustained revaluation.

7-29-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  The HCL law has been at a standstill since 2007...They've negotiated back and forth but it's really gone nowhere.  Why is this law needed?  Imagine you and your brothers inherit a business worth billions of dollars but nobody agrees on how to split the profits.  That's been Iraq's problem...The HCL is designed to answer questions like who owns the oil, who can sign the oil contracts, how are the oil revenues divided, how much goes to Baghdad...each province.  Without clear rules disputes discourage investment...The HCL isn't about changing the exchange rate directly.  It's about making sure Iraq's biggest source of wealth...is managed in a stable, transparent way.  If Iraq wants a stronger economy and...currency, getting its oil revenue system right is one of the biggest pieces of the puzzle.

7-29-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Article:  "Iraqi PM Ali Al-Zaidi publicly ordered Transport Minister Wahab al-Hasani to sign the Development Road agreement during a live ceremony with Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan in Ankara, after an unexpected delay interrupted the signing."  Development Road Project signed! ...I like al-Zaidi. He is making moves faster than any Iraqi politician I have seen.

7-29-2026   Newshound Guru Kaperoni  Article:  "Iraq Finance Minister 'Supports Floating Exchange Rate' for dinar"   Several years ago this article was put out...If this doesn't confirm I know what I'm talking about nothing will.  There is no RV...There's been article after article about diversifying their economy, and more recently a complete overhaul of the banking system...Floating the currency would never be successful without a diverse economy. Floating with total dependence on oil is never a good idea and causes  economic risks and volatility.  Most recently, we now see Iraq wants to diversify as much as 46% of their economy away from oil.

7-29-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   About 10 years ago I was part of a private dinar group and a member from our group submitted a form under The Freedom of Information Act to the United States government...to the US Treasury...We asked them how much Iraqi dinar does the US Federal Reserve treasury hold within its reserves.  They responded back to our request and they said in excess of 20 trillion Iraq dinar...Presently the United States has half of Iraq's money supply.

7-29-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   Tuesday night Baghdad's prime minister stood in Ankara and sold Turkey a quarter of his country's oil, a piece of the Kirkuk field and the trade road that runs around Iran.  When his own minister would not sign, he ordered him to on camera...For weeks the question under every dinar rumor comes back to whose fighters answer to Baghdad and whose answer to Terran.  Last night you watched that answer worked from both ends at once, the political end with a signature and the armed end with a strike.  Neither is finished but you can see the shape of how it ends...Anyone who tells you nothing is happening is not following this the way you are.

7-29-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article: "Trump: The attack on the militias in Iraq was coordinated with Baghdad"  Quote:   "U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the attack on the "militias" in Iraq was carried out in coordination with the Iraqi government"

7-29-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Article: “ECONOMIC EXPERT: IRAQI GOVERNMENT STUDYING CURRENCY CHANGE PROPOSAL TO BOOST LIQUIDITY AND STRENGTHEN THE DINAR”  Quote:  “Economic expert Haider al-Sheikh...said Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi’s recent visit to the United States produced several economic outcomes, one of which was a proposal to overhaul Iraq’s currency as part of efforts to improve financial liquidity.”  According to al-Sheikh, the proposal currently being studied... would remove one zero from the currency as part of a redenomination process...So we can clearly see something is brewing and I don’t think its going to be only one zero deleted. I firmly believe it they do anything it will be all three zeros and then move to FOREX, pending no high inflation as a result of the changes. They will stick to the Dr Shabibi plan. This is what they actually talked about during Al-Zaidi’s visit to Washington not Al-Sheikh’s plan.

7-28-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  You've been holding on...believing in this for a long time...The moment it does happen, there's going to be a lot of emotion.  There's going to be a lot of joy, a lot of stress too...But the truth is, your Iraqi dinar notes mean nothing until it's converted and you go home to your computer, go to your banking website and you see that money successfully hit your account.  Then the fun stuff begins. That's when the investing part begins.  That's when you could start setting up your asset structures... [Dinar Guru Note:  Consult your financial and asset protection professionals at the appropriate time to determine the ideal exchange plan for your unique circumstances.]

7-28-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   I've always said this is an RI which means we're going to reinstate what we took down.  What they took down in 2003 was $3.22...$3.22 was actually rejected by the Minister of Planning and the Minister of Finance back in 2012.  They said...you need to consider 20%...When you put 20% on to $3.22 it's close to $3.86.  But even $3.86 I don't think we'd be sufficed.  That's where the float will come in and the supply and demand, maybe we'll take it to a little over $4.00.  I hope.

7-28-2026   Newshound Guru Kaperoni  Community Comment: "The qualitative leap seems to be a fact. Wallets, bank accounts, prices, wages, contracts, etc., will all be proportionally converted. Exchange rate notations will change similarly. 1,310 IQD/USD will become 1.31 new IQD/USD."  Well you better hope that doesn't happen because if it does the only way they can accomplish reducing the money supply from trillions to billions is to do a neutral event/lop which would be zero financial gain.  Incremental increases in the value of the currency based on economic  growth is the only realistic way the Central Bank could reduce the money supply gradually taking trillions down to billions as physical deposits occur, etc.

7-28-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  The IMF is important because it evaluates Iraq's economy and banking system to determine whether the country has the financial stability needed to support a strong and reliable currency.  What the IMF does not do or cannot do is they cannot set the IQD exchange rate.  That decision belongs to the Central Bank of Iraq...What the IMF has to say is crucial, is important...Iraq understands this...Iraq and the IMF are working consistently to bring Iraq online and integrate into the international financial system...This is a good thing, a very good thing.

7-28-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Question:  "When do you think dinar will go?"  Thom:   IMO if al-Zaidi can keep pace, before the end of the month. If not? September.

7-28-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  The goal is clear.  Build an integrated digital financial system that relies on international standards, raise the efficiency of public money management, enhance transparency and improve government services to the citizens.  This is the stage being ready to raise the REER curtain tor investors...

7-28-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   A country does not get to benefit from a stronger currency until one government, and one alone, holds the right to use force inside its borders. Next door in Lebanon, an Iran-backed militia grew stronger than the state, and the Lebanese pound lost 90% of its value. That is the exact ending Iraq is trying not to write. Which is why 2 chairs still sit empty in Iraq's cabinet, Interior and Defense, the ministries that command the guns. The bank is ready, and the export income is being locked in...

7-28-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen    Every article that comes out talking about getting rid of the three zeros is an education campaign for the Iraqi citizens, informing them about what the government and the Central Bank of Iraq is wanting to do and getting ready to do...This is one of the last campaigns to get the Iraqi citizens to become aware that, 'hey we are getting ready to issue new currency, it's going to have more value.'  This is going to suck in 90% to 95% of the current Iraqi dinar currency in the country of Iraq probably within the first 3 to 7 days.  It's going to happen quick.

7-28-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]   OMAR: On TV the confirmed proposal removes the three zeros at a conversion of 1,000 to 1 ratio.  That is 1,000 old IQD notes to 1 new IQD note.  Everything converts proportionally...bank account..prices...wages...contracts.  The exchange rate re-expresses the same way.  1,310 IQD against the American dollar becomes $1.31 new IQD against the dollar...They're telling us purchasing power is preserved.  This is accounting simplification they said not a wealth event on its own.  FRANK:  But it will be for you [international investors].  But it gives the citizens of Iraq a fair chance...This is the education to the citizens of Iraq.

​7-28-2026   Newshound Guru Ariel   4) Gold/Digital Asset Backing Activation... Public declaration of gold reserves exceeding 170 tons as explicit backing for the new dinar.  Introduction of asset-backed digital instruments (CBI-issued stablecoins or tokenized gold) to further reinforce market confidence. 5) Revaluation Announcement & Forex Integration. Official announcement by the CBI setting the new exchange rate at or near $1 USD = 1 IQD.  Immediate opening of forex channels for global trading and settlement.  Coordination with IMF/WTO to ensure seamless integration into international monetary system.  [Post 2 of 2]

7-28-2026   Newshound Guru Ariel   The following operational steps must be completed in sequence to facilitate a successful redenomination and revaluation of the Iraqi dinar at a target parity of $1 USD = 1 IQD:   1)  Phase II Banking Reform Completion & External Validation.   Full FX access restored to all private Iraqi banks upon completion of phase-one reforms (7 banks have already been reinstated).  2) Digital Payment Infrastructure Hardening. Finalize integration of licensed electronic payment companies into a unified digital payments system.  Expand adoption of international standards for cross-border operations and card ceilings. 3) Zero Deletion Execution...Implement redenomination by removing three zeros from existing dinar notes (e.g., old IQD 10,000 note exchanged for new IQD note). Launch public education campaign to minimize confusion during transition.   [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

7-27-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   The monetary reform education is being taught.  I will admit there's still a lot of rumors out there, but the monetary reform education is not a rumor...

7-27-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Question: "If I have iqd physical bills how is the best way to exchange"   Thom:  At a bank after IQD goes on FOREX. If you try before then, they will laugh at you. If you need to sell it before then, find a licensed dealer... 

7-27-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   Lets talk about removing a zero because this is where people get hung up.  They're like, 'Oh Iraq isn't going to revaluate the currency.  They're going to redenominate which means this is going to be a net-neutral event, there's going to be no increase to the purchasing power.'  This is where people get confused...There is going to be a revaluation  alongside a redenomination...The citizens are going to get purchasing power alongside getting new Iraqi dinar notes...Investors outside the country of Iraq that's where we are hoping and planning to make our return on our investment and make some money...

​7-27-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  The deletion of the zeros has been undeniable.  Nobody's denied it...Alaq never did.  Al Sudani never did.  The new prime minister hasn't done that.  The new finance minister hasn't ever said anything about it nor has the central bank denied it.  That tells you a story in itself...

7-27-2026   Newshound Guru Kaperoni  There is really only two realistic options for the future of the Iraqi dinar. The first option is something none of us want to see which would be a complete redenomination or neutral event turning trillions of dinar in circulation into billions...The second option is more realistic, with the help of IMF, Iraq will diversify their economy which we have been saying for 10 + years, and float the currency allowing the dinar to rise based on their economic success and market forces to set official rate of the Iraqi dinar.

7-27-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Changing the rate and running the country is no different than a business.  You have to know how much money you have.  What they're doing right now before they finish their cabinet and change the rate is they're completing the steps of the money.  They need to know how much money and capital they have and have it allocated before they can complete the cabinet and change the rate...

7-27-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  An economic expert floated removing one zero from the dinar. No official has confirmed it...Removing a zero is a redenomination. It changes the face of the note, not what the note buys. It is not the reprice this community has waited on for 20 years. The rumor is the noise. The machinery is the story. The number on the note has not moved yet. The country underneath it is being rebuilt to carry a different one.

7-27-2026   Boot-On-The-Ground Guru Omar  The CBI deputy governor said today...redenomination and revaluation...They gave us two big steps...Step #1: Redenomination...they gave us four categories for this.  1. The redenomination phase removes the three zeros from circulation from currency. 2. Technical and administrative cleanup. 3.  New notes issued, old notes retired. 4. Zero change in the USD purchasing power. It labels change but value does not change. Step #2: Revaluation.  1. The CBI raises the official exchange rate. 2. This produces a real gain in the United States dollar terms. 3.  This is the event holders are positioned for.

She said it goes through a lot of processes and she pointed to the...De LaRue machines. I said, 'That machine is new...'  The employee said, 'Yeah, that one's new and that one back there is new.'  I saw an old machine off to the side...The employee said these are advanced motorized multi-sensor counterfeit detectors specialized bank-grade currency discriminators...They have a red light, infrared light and some type of sensor that detects the density of the raised perforation on bills...She said this is specifically meant for the Iraqi dinar and the Vietnamese dong.  I took pictures discreetly...I don't know the exact time, but they're new.  They weren't there before...

"   Currency Overhaul, New Bank Notes, Raise The Dinar Value...Do you know how long we have been waiting to officially hear this from Iraq?

7-26-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  Historically speaking, other countries who have done redenominations or revalues like Kuwait...their time period to exchange was roughly 47 or 48 days.  That's very very quick. 

7-26-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   On this day, July 25, 2026, It is my strong opinion...the monetary reform education to the Iraqi citizens has started today.  I look forward to seeing so much more of it come out as this month comes to an end...

7-26-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Question: "The current rate is 1310, so what kind of rate are we looking to see?"  Thom:  In my personal opinion, I believe the new REER will exceed Kuwait's rate of $3.26.

7-26-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  [Dropping zeros can] make the parallel informal market nervous.  Hypothetically if they readjust the value of the currency and they drop one zero...two zeros...three zeros it's going to be painful for anybody that hold a [U.S.] dollar.  Because once that denomination changes they can apply the real effective exchange rate...That's where the risk comes into play.  This is to stimulate those folks [holding onto U.S. dollars and not dinar] to wake them up.  If you're going to get caught with a large amount of dollars and they change the real effective exchange rate, those dollars are going to be worth a lot less [dinars].  

7-26-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  REER means Real Effective Exchange Rate.  Depending on where the country's inflation is, is going to determine the direction the rate is going to go, whether it goes up or down. Iraq has...almost no inflation so the REER is going to go in a positive direction through a redenomination.  There's nothing to worry about here.

7-26-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   Iraq's prime minister signed a rail line to carry trade into Iran, and in the same week let a US-led group begin engineering...the Kirkuk to Baniyas line out to the Mediterranean...Baghdad is turning itself into the crossroads the whole region has to run through....The dinar is the currency sitting on that ground, still priced from before any of this was signed.

7-26-2026   Intel Guru Guy  It's very clear in the last week we've had roughly 10 years worth of solid news packed in one week.  For those of us who've been invested for a long time...if you're a new investor, trust us, we've never seen this much movement ever, ever...it just wasn't the prime minister.  He had the Governor of the Central Bank, his finance minister, an entire delegation of 
economic advisers and finance people...There were a lot of back channel meetings going on.  We don't know what happened but why would they be having those unless something's going to move?

7-26-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article: "Iraqi Dinar Strengthens as Iranian Toman Plunges Amid Tensions" Quote: "The Iraqi dinar has recorded notable gains against the U.S. dollar, while the Iranian toman continues to lose value due to escalating conflict conditions...Last week, the dinar showed a sharp upward trend. At the start of the week, 100 dollars traded for 153,500 dinars, but by Tuesday, July 21, 2026, it had dropped to 149,500 dinars, and in some cities like Baghdad and Basra even to 149,000. Currently, the rate is stable between 150,000 and 151,000 dinars. Since the beginning of the month, the dinar has regained about 4,000 dinars per 100 dollars."

7-26-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  Community comment:  "Stephen, my bank doesn't verify currency on site. They said they have to send it off."  Do not allow that to happen...Maybe you have to drive an hour.  If that's the case so be it.  You're going to find out which branches verifies the currency and can do the exchange right there for you.  Again, if that money leaves your sight...this can go wrong and things could happen...We're talking about potentially tens...hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars.  That's nothing to mess around with.  You want to be very very careful.

WOW!

7-26-2026  Intel Guru Frank26  [ Bank Story John and Mark Tampa Bay Florida]  I went to the Chase Bank on a Wednesday and asked...Are you going to be exchanging foreign currency?  The lady at the teller said yes.  I said, How are you going to verify it?  She pointed over at a machine. I said, what is that?  She goes, a De LaRue machine...I said would you mind verifying something on your machine?  She goes, yeah, no problem.  I just happen to have some [dinar] with me...On the...little screen..Iraqi dinar was IQD... I said, punch that one right there.  She punched the IQD on the screen.  She put the [dinar] money up at the top, ran it through, and it come up with the same amount that I gave her earlier.  So, it verified the dinar?  She goes, yeah, it's all verified.  She handed it back to me and pointed across...every girl at the teller line had that new De La Rue machine in front of them.  Three of them and there's one out back...She goes, we just got them in...She never done it before.  I was the first one that she's ever done that before to verified foreign currency...The first screen with the US on it was full of currency initials but she had to go to the second screen to get to the IQD.

7-26-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]  I do not have confirmation that we have new rates on the screens at the redemption centers, nor at the banks yet, but we do feel that is something that we need to have solid rates, not flashing ...So typically, what happens is the Forex lights up with new rates on Wednesday or on Sunday...when it reopens in the United States... reopens at about five or 5:30 Sunday in the afternoon...and according to a particular source, we will see notifications early in the week, but have exchanges started no later than Thursday of this coming week...

7-25-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   Community comment, 'President Trump holds Iraqi dinar.'  I've heard this as a common theme over the last 15 years...I've heard these arguments even before President Trump ran for the presidency...back when he was on the apprentice.  A lot of people would say, Donald Trump owns 30 billion Iraqi dinar.  It sounds good.  It's interesting to say the least, but that is not public information.  No on knows at all if President Trump owns dinar or not.  It would seem likely that he probably owns Iraqi dinar.  I would venture to bet he owns at least some Iraqi dinar...It seems very plausible but none of us could say with 100% certainty that he does or does not.

7-25-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  I don't believe in a Global Currency Rest.  I find it mathematically impossible...Mathematically it's impossible for every currency on this planet to flip at once...The way to do it is a few at a time, in clusters.

7-25-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Question: "What do you think the spread will be at the banks?"  Thom:  It will vary from bank to bank. Some will be at around 1%. Others up to 5%. And every day will have a slight adjustment to it, according to my personal banker.

7-25-2026   Intel Guru Guy   I would drive [to the bank].  I wouldn't fly because you don't want to fly with a suitcase full of foreign currency.  The two biggest states are Alaska and Texas.  Maybe you have to drive four or five hours to get to that bank that will in your presence, in front of your eyes, verify your currency, certify it, convert it, and deposit US dollars into that account and hand you a deposit slip. That's what you want.

7-25-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  The Development Road Project is not stopping...Some of the largest energy companies in the world are still in Iraq.  They're still moving forward.  They're signing contracts.  Why would they be doing that if Iraq was never going anywhere and the dinar was a scam?  ...It's  not random activity that's taking place.  It's multi-track coordination...The fundamentals required for a sustainable Real Effective Exchange Rate adjustment are being strengthened in real time...

7-25-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen Question: "What do I do when the dinar revalues?  Where do I take my dinar?"  This person told me that I'm going to call this "1-800" number.  This person said I'm going to go to a "redemption center", this person said I need to send my money to them so they can verify it and then they would deposit in my bank account.  I'm here to disprove all of those rumors.  Some of them are going to be known scams.  Whenever there's large amounts of money involved, you have to be very careful and very skeptical of people's motivations. [Dinar Guru Rule of Thumb:  Treat your dinar notes as if they were US dollars.  If you wouldn't do it with your dollars, think twice before you do it with your dinars.]

7-25-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow] ...with the Clarity Act and cryptocurrencies being fully integrated into the quantum financial system that we have, that is working in our current accounts in our banks are part of that system now...we had heard...two weeks ago that XRP was alive...Well, that's our cryptocurrency. That is, I think, the number one crypto that's going to be utilized in backing the U.S. N, our new dollar, and backing...our exchanges ...things are moving along nicely behind the scenes. If XRP is truly live, that means everything is about to be or is already interconnected into the quantum financial system, and now we just move to the next step...what about our timing now? Where are we now?  We're supposed to get releases, which are primarily involving XRP and our USN and backing our exchanges to release on Sunday night.

7-25-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  Article:  "THE PARLIAMENTARY FINANCE COMMITTEE IS DISCUSSING A NUMBER OF DRAFT LAWS" Quote:  "...The committee discussed the proposed Investment Law for 2026, and the possibility of making the necessary amendments to it...in order to contribute to providing an attractive environment for investment, maximizing non-oil revenues, and supporting the general budget."  Can you say RV, can you say WTO?

Why? I know of an investment law that needs to be put in place and parliament intends to work on passing it during their current session.   [Post 1 of 2]

7-24-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   You can't call banks and ask about the dinar.  They're told to decline you and push you away.  They don't exchange the currency.  You can only call banks and ask about foreign currency not Iraqi dinar.

7-24-2026   Newshound Guru  Kaperoni  Article:  "US Treasury signals years-long plan to rebuild Iraq banking sector"

7-24-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   When we take our dinars to a bank here in America, that bank is going to send those dinars to the US Treasury.  We just add it to our stockpile.  But what happens if you go to a private bank or you got to one of the private banks the CBI if going to have?  They send it to the CBI and they destroy it.

7-24-2026   Intel Guru Guy  My personal goal is to take a small amount of dinar, small is a relative number, and do an immediate cash out in my own name.  I don't care about the tax situation.  It's not going to be my big nut.  It's just going to be a small amount.  Then I'm going to set up my personal trust.  You have to decide what your tax structure you want for your family.   [Dinar Guru Note:  Consult your financial, tax and asset protection professionals at the appropriate time to build the ideal exchange plan for your unique circumstances.]

7-24-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man   The dinar is going to be a commercially traded foreign currency for other countries...Chase Bank quietly shifts long-standing scam stance on the dinar.

7-24-2026   Newshound Guru Thom   Question:   "In your opinion, just how quickly will we need to move?  Hours? Days?"   Thom:  Days. My banker suggested I wait a couple of days for the rush to happen, and I told him no...because I have 10,000 people waiting to see what I do. lol

7-24-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  It comes down to one term, follow the money.  All of these big players, why do you think they're putting billions and trillions of dollars over the long run into the country of Iraq? ...Zaidi is saying Iraq is open for business.

7-24-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   MOUs...Last week they were in DC...as of yesterday that was $200 billion in new revenue coming in to Iraq.  Today they signed MOUs with Iran.  Next week they're signing MOUs with Turkey...Iraq needs to know all of their expenses and revenue streams to correctly draft their budgets...Why the hell hasn't the rate changed, why the cabinet hasn't been completed?  They have to know all of their money figures before they can revalue.  The cabinet completion is the lynch pin to the rate change...Those two are almost one in the same.

7-24-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Is the Oil and Gas Law passed? I am a bit disappointed with the first two sessions of parliament under this new administration. During the election cycle we read multiple articles on how they would put a ‘high priority’ on the Oil and Gas Law and other laws. Yet it has not been taken up. We need to keep a close eye on this law.

7-24-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   [MarkZ & Jon Dowling]  Vietnam is emerging as another cornerstone of regional economic revaluation. With a GDP growth rate nearing 7% and a strategic pivot toward more open trade policies, Vietnam’s economic strategy appears to be moving in tandem with global reset efforts. The discussion suggests a phased approach where the revaluation of the Vietnamese Dong may follow or coincide with other major currency shifts...

7-24-2026   Newshound Guru Ariel   Iraq is Preparing to Launch a Central Bank Digital Dinar...We Are Off To The Races...Iraq Is Preparing To Launch A Central Bank Digital Dinar (Cbd Dinars) In Parallel With The Physical Note Redenomination...this will become standard Support for International Trade & Investment...the WTO meetings that are ongoing are crucial in this area. We are watching the final pieces come together smoothly.

7-23-2026   Newshound Guru Thom     Question:  "Why do you continue misleading yourself / others into thinking IQD will revalue"  Thom:  Have you not done any research? ...Do you not follow along with what is happening in Iraq?  Probably not.  Because you are a hater and need to go find your own way. 

7-23-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  I want this to happen just as bad as we all do.  I wanted this to happen yesterday but I do think this is probably going to go into the month of August.  I hope I'm wrong.  I would love nothing more than to be wrong.  But I do think there are a few more things that have to get finalized and get done before we see the Iraqi dinar value greatly increase... You should be very excited.  Don't be bummed...We are seeing real progress happen before our very eyes.

7-23-2026   Intel Guru Guy   You have to be ready on your own individual basis...If you're invested in this, let's call it a blessing, an abundance, and you're just waiting?  You got to be ready.  Focus on preparation...It's key to identify the person [at the bank] you're going to call.  Make sure they know your name, they know who you are so when you say, 'I'm ready for my  appointment.' They'll put you in the books...My first step is going to be calling the wealth manager that I've already talked to about this and set up an appointment.

7-23-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   Strengthening currencies often attract more foreign currency investment.  That's a good thing.  That's what Iraq needs more than anything else except for banking reform, control over their IQD banknotes, and reducing corruption and developing strong, strong streams of income outside of the oil industry.

7-23-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  A currency gets a new value the day the country behind it gets clean enough that the world will finally price it at its real weight.  That is the whole of it.  Everything else is noise...Start with what the dinar is actually worth.  Under the Iraqi ground sits $16 trillion in oil, gas and metal...9th on Earth for natural wealth.  A currency standing on that has no business trading like a poor one.

7-23-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  To this day Chase...has no idea what is taking place.  They have no idea...You have to be very careful in what you get from them at the branch level in banks.  I'm not sure you need to waste your time in going in until the time is right because once it's public it's going to be know on a global scale.  I'm sure Chase, Citi Bank and many other banks are going to be fully aware of it.  

7-23-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   The very last step in this, the last remaining piece is completing the last nine ministers within the cabinet.  They're saving it for the very end.  That happens shortly before the rate changes.

7-23-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Question: "I bought some IQD for some family members that said it was stupid to buy any...Once the RV happens, should I give them the IQD’s or give them the cash?"  I am in a similar situation... And after careful consideration, they are not getting anything. Instant wealth for people who didn't earn is highly destructive. besides, there are tax and legal implications to take into account and if I give them an asset and they don't pay the taxes on it, I would be ruining their lives because they went to jail. So if anything, i would cash it in, and gift them something. But even then I am hesitant.  [Dinar Guru Note: Consult your financial, tax and asset protection advisors at the appropriate time to determine the ideal gifting plan for your unique situation.]

7-23-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  Iraq's GDP - right now they are the fastest growing Middle Eastern nation...surpassing Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Dubai...And when you look at all the deals they just signed, it's like gosh, their progress and their potential [is off the charts].  I don't see a dinar hater or someone who used to be against this investment or thought it was foolish before and look at everything happening right now and just say, wow, I want to be part of this transition or I want to be invested, maybe not in the dinar, but in some part of this country of Iraq to be able to get returns on the upside...

7-23-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   [MarkZ & Jon Dowling] ...we are witnessing an unprecedented alignment of international interests focused on settling long-standing military and financial conflicts. This global push for disarmament and stabilization is a necessary precursor to economic reform. Iraq’s Central Bank is currently leading a significant push toward digital payment transformation. By engaging electronic payment firms and enforcing modern cross-border standards...Iraq is positioning its financial system to meet international compliance frameworks...it is a vital tool for preventing fraud and ensuring that large-scale currency exchanges can occur within a secure, transparent environment.  Iraqi officials have established firm deadlines—most notably a September 30th “back wall”—to end corruption proxies and finalize fiscal reforms. Interestingly, this date aligns closely with the start of the new fiscal year in many Western financial systems.

7-23-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]  ...the latest information that we got...was saying...Thursday. Another source says he's getting that we will have new rates on forex on Wednesday, and that we would have those new rates reflected at the redemption centers and banks on Thursday morning...military contact...said everything is still on track...So, it appears that this will happen for us this week. 

7-23-2026  Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Can the news get any better than this other than getting news of the reinstatement is done. Folks, this visit by al-Zaidi to Washington is beginning to pay off for Iraq... President Trump has his eyes on Iraq and a plan to revolutionize their economy...this is not only for Iraq but the entire middle east. Iraq is going to play a MAJOR role in the plan. 

7-22-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Question:  "Is 60 days too long for an exchange?"   Thom:  IMO YES! Kuwait cut their exchange window short due to bad actors...

7-22-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  The rate is not the thing trapped behind the WTO. It waits on a budget parliament has to write and a cabinet it has to seat, and those are the pieces with a real date on them.

7-22-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  Which direction is the black market going?  It's going down...It's dropping like a rock.

7-22-2026   Newshound Guru Kaperoni  Keep in mind that Iraq's net worth including all minerals in the ground including oil is only around 16 to 18 trillion dollars.  Iraq's money supply is around 100 trillion dinar.  So they could never afford any significant RV.  It would throw the country into chaos and bankrupt them.  But the dinar could go up gradually over time, as a result of their own growth and success. This would allow them to reduce the money supply as a result of the increase in purchasing power.  I do believe this is the path for Iraq, a gradual Improvement of the dinars value as the country diversifies its economy and succeeds.

7-22-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  Vietnam doesn't want you to go anywhere else in the world to buy exports they provide.  That's one of the reasons they keep their currency so very, very low...

7-22-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   When Kuwait reinstated their dinar to its pre-war peg of over $3.00 it wasn't an arbitrary decision.  It was backed by immense oil reserves and guaranteed by billions of dollars incoming international partnerships.  Guess what?  Iraq is signing multi-billion dollar partnerships ...For those of us holding Iraq dinar, the 1991 precedent of what Kuwait did is the ultimate proof of concept.  The structural setup for a massive dinar revaluation mirrors Kuwait's journey in several profound ways...The first one is asset-backed sovereignty.  Just like Kuwait in 1991, Iraq sits on some of the largest proven oil and natural gas reserves on the planet.  A currency's true value reflects its resources wealth and the current artificially suppressed rate of the dinar does not match Iraq's massive economic weight.  We all know...Iraq as a program rate of 1310 dinar per US dollar and it's been controlled for 23 years.  I think they're slated for a massive change of that rate which is what we are all waiting for... [Post 2 of 2]

7-22-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen If you have anyone in your life that thinks you're crazy for believing in or investing in the Iraqi dinar, I would highly recommend sending them this...Not only is Iraq ready to revalue their currency or possibly reinstate their currency to what it was before we invaded in 2003 but there is a very strong precedent.  To me it's quite obvious what they're getting ready to do...There was a certain number of boxes Kuwait checked just before they reinstated their currency...If Iraq does a reinstatement of their old rate... $3.78   under Saddam, that would be an amazing outcome.  I think all of us would be very happy with that.  There's been debate.  Are they going to revalue their currency to a new rate...?  It could be 50 cents...a dollar ...$2.00.  We simply don't know...Kuwait reinstated their dinar back to its former value.    [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

7-22-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Question:  "What about the zero delete do you think that will happen before the RV and impact investors?"  Deleting the zeros only applies to Iraqis and those in Iraq AFTER they increase the value of the dinar. I doubt it will have an impact on us because we are not exchanging for new IQD, but USD...My understanding is that the CBI will delete the zeros after they give us a new Real Effective Exchange Rate, but it won't affect us because we are not exchanging for new dinars, but USD.

7-22-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  You see JP Morgan involved.  What are they talking about?  They're talking about doing bank transfers.  They're talking about opening a branch in the country of Iraq, in Baghdad.  I don't think anybody at Chase Downtown here where I live is going to have a clue what I'm talking about...They are building the fundamentals for a sustainable Real Effective Exchange Rate...

7-22-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Why does [the Iraq dinar] sit at 1300 to the dollar?  Because 1300 was written into the 2023 budget law and frozen there.  It moves only when a seated cabinet passes a new budget with a new number.  The wealth is real.  The low rate political leftover or program rate...Clean the government.  Seat the cabinet. Pass the budget and the number the CBI finally announces can answer to the $16 trillion underneath it.

7-22-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   [The market rate] has been increasing since the 1st of July.  It was supposed to start on the 10th of July but we have proof it's been going up every day...The governor of the CBI is going to come out and he's going to talk...

7-22-2026   Newshound Guru Ariel   The Central Bank of Iraq under Governor Nizar Nasser Hussein has locked the operational conditions for a controlled upward shift in dinar value. Strengthened monetary defenses plus phased restoration of correspondent banking access equal the precise dual mechanism required. Stability buys the CBI time and reserves firepower. Expanded rails (non-USD first, then full dollar clearing) inject real foreign capital and trade volume that generate organic demand for IQD...This is the live engineering now in motion following the July 2026 US Treasury framework and the multi-phase banking reform completed under Oliver Wyman and Ernst & Young guidance. 

7-22-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  ...what took place during these meetings with the Iraqi delegation to Washington and how this could all lead to the Reinstatement...is looking very promising... If all of these headlines hold to true, I can not see how we can not see something significant with the dinar in the very near future. I am talking about a reinstatement and what we all want. 

7-21-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   So many people think delete the zeros has something to do with the rate.  It has zero to do with the rate.  The deleting the zeros means getting rid of the large 3-zeros notes and replace them with smaller currency notes.  That's all it means.  It has zero to do with the actual exchange rate itself.  Obviously the exchange rate is going to go up, but it has nothing to do with that...A 25 note with a value of $3.00 is worth $75.  A 25k note with the same value of $3.00 against the dollar would be worth $75,000...

7-21-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  Imagine sitting at the dinner table at Thanksgiving or Christmas after the dinar revalues and those who made fun of you and those who hated on you or those who said it's a joke or a scam are going to be sitting with their heads down, even ashamed to look up because we are going to be proven right.  

7-21-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   "What is the best percent fee to exchange to accept from the bank when we exchange?"  Zero.  [Dinar Guru Note:  Consult your financial and asset protection advisors at the appropriate time to determine the most advantageous exchange location for your unique circumstance.]

7-21-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Question:  "Do you think it's smarter to use a financial advisor that is part of the exchanging bank or find an independent which isn't associated with a bank once this goes?"  Thom:  That depends on you, your risk tolerance and also your financial education.  If I had low risk tolerance and next to zero financial education, I would stick to a bank. Private is good if it is a Fiduciary. Me personally, I have Wealth Advisors tell me I don't need them. [Dinar Guru Note:  Consult your financial and asset protection professionals at the appropriate time to determine the ideal people/organizations to trust with your finances.]

7-21-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru Walkingtick  Look for trillions to billions.  Aki [bank friend] said to us when he came back from DC the lower notes are ready to go at a moment's notice.  

7-21-2026   Newshound Guru Pimpy  No one knows what the value of the dinar is going to be.  No one knows if they're going to keep the zeros or drop the zeros.  That's where the big argument is because if they drop the zeros, it's not going to be anywhere near where people thought it was going to be.  If they keep the zeros, which is what I keep my fingers crossed for...then a lot of us become millionaires. 

7-21-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  Why countries, including Iraq, want to increase the value of their currency...Why we truly think and believe Iraq will eventually increase the value of their currency - A stronger currency increases purchasing power... Companies can import machinery, technology, vehicles and raw materials at lower cost...This helps lower inflation... Imported products become less expensive...A stronger currency builds confidence among international investors...[and] encourages citizens to save more...The more money citizens save the better off a country will be...

7-21-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen This past week one of the largest and most important meetings was with al-Zaidi and the US Treasury.  He met directly with Scott Bessent who runs the US Treasury.  They're directly responsible for facilitating and helping Iraq revalue or reinstate the Iraqi dinar...When you see articles talking about the partnership between the Central Bank of Iraq, the US Treasury and how it's directly expected to strengthen the stability of the Iraqi dinar, I don't understand how people don't see this...Even if you didn't have dinar goggles on...or...not invested at all...if you can't look at the news...and ask yourself...a country attracting this much investment from the US directly, billions and trillions of dollars worth of deals, are they able to do this with a currency worth 1/10 of a penny? 

7-21-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  OMAR: Television says our dinar [market rate] has gained 3.66% in just 17 days...that isn't normal.  It's really really looking good.  It's growing fast.  FRANK:  it's so exciting to see the evidence of your currency gaining value as the American dollar is being used less and less inside of Iraq.  The gap is closing.  The black market is going away so you can reach the 1 to 1.  I've been waiting for this evidence to start.  It looks like it started way before July 10th...It is moving at an incredible speed.

7-21-2026   Newshound Guru Ariel  That influx of investment and trade volume creates real demand for the dinar, letting the CBI gradually (or in phases) shift the peg higher without triggering chaos.  This Is The Bridge Needed To Pave The Way For Forex Entry...Which means from the old oil-dependent fragility to a diversified, market-integrated currency that can actually hold and appreciate value sustainably. The agreements remove the old choke points that kept it suppressed, and the timing with everything else converging makes the reval not just possible it becomes the logical next step to lock in the stability they’re announcing.  [Post 2 of 2]

7-21-2026   Newshound Guru Ariel   Article Quote: "The Iraqi Private Banks League says recent agreements between the Central Bank of Iraq and the U.S. Treasury mark a major step in banking reform and are expected to strengthen the stability of the Iraqi dinar while expanding Iraqi banks’ access to international financial markets."  Strengthening dinar stability + expanded international  bank access = the exact mechanics needed for a controlled upward revaluation.  We Are In A Prime Reform Phase...The Central Bank gets breathing room to defend a stronger rate without bleeding reserves, while US-backed access to global clearing rails (think SWIFT, correspondent banking, tokenized settlement channels) brings in legitimate foreign capital inflows.   [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

7-21-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  I absolutely DO NOT adhere to high-risk investments where I can lose it all in a flash. Look at it this way – you are going to have all this money from your dinar exchange. Then why blow it! Most of us investors waited decades for this RV to happen and so why would you even think about pissing it all away in some high-risk gamble of an investment... Go to a legitimate wealth manager associated with your bank. Let the licensed experts advise you...  [Dinar Guru Note:  Consult your financial and asset protection advisors at the appropriate time to determine who and how to protect and grow your money.]

7-20-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article quote “Al-Zaidi will propose during his visit to Tehran the idea of Baghdad hosting a meeting that brings together officials from Iran and the United States in the coming period, with the aim of bringing viewpoints closer and preparing the ground for direct or indirect dialogue between the two sides, within the framework of Iraqi efforts to  reduce tensions and avoid further escalation that may affect the security and stability of the region.”  

7-20-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Deleting the zeros from the currency will happen at the same time the rate changes...This is a  reinstatement.  That means it needs to reinstate back to $3.22 plus a cost of living increase.

7-20-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  The black market is dying.  It automatically gives birth to the value of the Iraqi dinar the sovereign currency of its country.

7-20-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   Some people have said the HCL law has to be signed first and then the revaluation will come right after.  Or it's been argued in the other direction that the revaluation of the dinar would happen first and then the HCL law would be right behind it.  They are very closely correlated...That's why these oil contracts and deals that got got done last week  is such a critical piece of the dinar revaluation.  That was exciting to see.

7-20-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  The Central Bank has never denied a real effective exchange rate was to come...Nor have  they decided to say that we're not doing the delete the zeros project.  The Prime Minister and the central bank have been working together and they haven't denied it...If that was a big issue and they weren't going to do that, that they had a different direction, if they had something else in mind, they would have said something by now.  It's been well over 60 days, and they haven't said anything.  That's a clue.

7-20-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Connections do not open the redemption channel, documentation does.  A passport, original purchase receipts, ideally from a registered dealer, the wire confirmations showing the funds left your bank and a clean chain of custody from purchase forward.  A holder who keep the receipt has a clean path.  A holder with an undocumented private trade faces weeks or months of reconstruction once the trigger fires.

7-20-2026   Newshound Guru Kaperoni  There is no overnight RV of the Iraqi dinar.  If the dinar is ever going to go up in value, it will go up gradually over time as a result of Iraq's own economic success. So yes, what we are seeing now is important because  their success means their currency's success.  

7-20-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   The news is phenomenal.  What all the news boiled down to was positioning of the money.  That's why Iraq put such a massive emphasis on signings MOU's, oil revenue, all that.  They needed the money to move forward.  That's what they did.  Now that the money is positioned they can now move forward on completing their cabinet, changing the rate and launching the economy, getting back on the world stage.  Everything can happen now.

7-20-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   Wells Fargo and JPMorgan along with the CEO Jamie Dimon have embarrassed tens of thousands of Americans. In the last years...we were constantly told by Well Fargo, JP Morgan the dinar is a scam...Jaimie Dimon did many interviews where he said, Oh, no, no, no, we're not involved.  For the last two decades they've been involved deeply in Iraqi 
banks
...Jaimie Dimon personally caused me so much pain...sleepless nights ...embarrassment...It's going to be extremely impossible for me to ever consider to do any business with Wells Fargo [Chase?] banks.  If they lie to me about this investment...then they will have no problems lying to me about the money I put in their banks...They will find ways to get it away from me...fees... penalties ...reasons ...It is disgusting the way they lied to us.  But those days are over. 

7-20-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   Summarizing al-Zaidi's visit to Washington last week...It was a much more eye opening week than I think anyone anticipated.  I thought it was going to be more ceremonial, him and President Trump in the Oval Office taking some questions and that was essentially going to be what we were going to see...  So much was communicated to the public.  We heard about a bunch of deals...He was getting stuff done.   Article:  "Iraq and America sign the largest economic agreement in history"  How amazing is that? ...I can tell you for certain, Iraq...got 100 years worth of progress wrapped up in one week.  I'm not exaggerating.  That is the truth...This propelled Iraq into the next stratosphere...

7-20-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article: "The dollar continues to fall in Baghdad and Erbil"  Quote:  "The exchange rate of the US dollar continued to fall on Monday morning in the markets of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, and in Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region." [Dinar Guru Note:  The dollar rate falling in Iraq means the dinar value is rising.  This is a good thing for dinar investors.]

7-20-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]   Remember...if you have dinar, President Trump has negotiated with Dr. Sinoen Al Shabibi, a rate contract for a rate on the Iraqi dinar act when he was in his first term, and it should be an excellent, excellent high rate, way higher than a bank screen rate would be, like  over 10, about 10 times as high, so that would be terrific. 

7-20-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  I want to caution many on a lot of the negativity now about this investment. We must remember we haven’t waited 23 years to sell our dinar now...First, we don’t control the reinstatement.  Second, we all should know by now that the Iraqi dinar is being artificially suppressed and its real value, if it were to be restated to FOREX today, would be/should be much higher than 1/6 of a penny. Third...there are elements that do not want Iraq to flourish. Instead it has become a situation of massive corruption...Forth, we must follow the news from Iraq and if we do we can see that a new Iraq is on the horizon... I believe we are closer than ever for the dinar to get reinstated...

7-19-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  We are closer to this than we have ever been...Most people have no idea it is coming. They did not read the filings or follow Iraq. They are working the shifts and covering the bills, and when this lands they will still be standing exactly where they are. We were not smarter than them. We were early, because we happened to be paying attention.  That is the whole difference...

7-19-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   JPMorgan confirmed...Iraq is a promising investment opportunity.  Oh, you sons of guns, you, because you told me it was a scam...Do not forget the lies... Article quote: "The bank has been continuing its partnership with Iraq for more than two decades."  Two decades?  And it's been a scam?

7-19-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  My plan is to take 6 months, plan out my entire investment strategy.  I truly believe I'm going to be able to take this dinar revaluation investment return I'm going to make and turn it into a billion plus dollars...You could think I'm crazy if you want, but a lot of people thought the people that were investing in Bitcoin back in 2011 were crazy. But guess what, if I would have invested the same amount of money that I did in the dinar into Bitcoin back in 2011, I would be worth well over $9 billion today.  People would think that's crazy.  It's impossible.  It could never happen.  It is possible.  It can happen.  And I know I'm not going to miss it this time around... We're going to be able to change the world through the wealth all of us are going to collectively bring together.

7-19-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Why hasn't Iraq revalued?  Why didn't Iraq revalue before coming and bringing their large delegation to the United States... to meet with Trump?  Why hasn't Iraq completed their cabinet?  They had to get the money ready to fund everything.  Money had to be in place...They need a lot of extra money going far beyond operating expenses.  They need money to fund the HCL, to fund all the new programs coming forward...You have to follow the money...Look what happened this week...signing massive new oil agreements worth mega billions of dollars...The money needed to be in position.  Now Iraq can change their rate.  That's the reason they couldn't change the rate before coming to the United States...

7-19-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   Al-Zaidi runs a half-built cabinet. Parliament seated 14 of his 23 ministers back in May and stalled on the other 9, interior and defense among them...Until that cabinet is whole there is no new budget, and until there is a new budget the dinar holds at 1,300...The law that would put a real price on the oil, the hydrocarbon law that splits revenue  between Baghdad, Erbil and the producing provinces, has been stuck since 2007. al-Zaidi has made it a priority of his program...The plan gets drawn in Washington. The signatures that make it real are still waiting in Baghdad, and the reprice waits behind all of them.

7-19-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   IMO Iraq's bank integration into a global system is going to come once the dinar reaches 1 to 1.  That will be the float in the international basket...The dinar will lead the Middle East Basket...

7-19-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]  we have heard from one of our sources that rates will be on the screens this weekend...we know that the forex realigns every Sunday evening. Generally speaking, we get new rates on Sunday night that show up Monday morning at the redemption centers.

7-18-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  The Iraqi dinar stays frozen at a program rate, far below what a country sitting on $16 trillion of oil and gas is worth. Take the outside hands off it [Iran], and it is free to price at value...Yesterday the biggest hand of all [Iran's], the one that ran the whole skim, was cut off.

7-18-2026   Newshound Guru Kaperoni There is no RV. Iraq could never afford it. It would throw their entire country into chaos. Iraq's net worth is only about 16 trillion dollars, including oil and all minerals.  only way..increase value gradually over time... 

7-18-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   A lot of people might think the rate change itself brings a lot of money into Iraq.  That's not the case.  A rate change brings no profit into Iraq.  All that the rate change does is get rid of larger currency notes with...zeros and increases the purchasing power to small currency notes.  That's all it does.  It doesn't...magically bring money into the country...It does a lot more for their economy.  It creates jobs and economic diversification.  It does a lot of powerful things but it's not going to give the country of Iraq more money when they do this.

7-18-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Press Release Quote: "Prime Minister Ali Faleh Al-Zaidi :  We welcome the understanding reached between the Central Bank of Iraq and the U.S. Department of the Treasury, which marks an important step toward advancing banking sector reform and strengthening its integration into the global financial system."

7-18-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  I am someone who believes 100% the Iraqi dinar will revalue in the near future.  That is my belief.  That is my speculation.  I'm not claiming it as fact.  No on knows what's going to happen...

7-18-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Article: "Prime Minister Al-Zaidi received representatives of @jpmorgan in Washington, where the two sides agreed to open a JPMorgan branch in Iraq to finance projects implemented by U.S. companies."  When someone at CHASE Bank tells you that they will never deal with IQD, you have something to show them. In fact, JP Morgan has been involved in Iraq since 2003 and even sold IQD in the past.

7-18-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  Iraq has come a long way.  We all know that.  It's not 2003 anymore.  It's not 2016 anymore...The pieces are aligning in a way that supports the long game of full integration of the global financial system...

7-18-2026  Intel Guru Frank26  The articles have told you very clearly, we are in the final stage of the project of lifting the three zeros from our exchange rate to add value to the currency.  You got the cockroaches...say, 'no, you're not.' ...You understand this is a process based on supply and demand of the Iraqi dinar...No one controls the supply and demand of the Iraq dinar.  No one...It's based on the markets.  This market right now is so in love with your currency.

7-18-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  ...to change out the currency to the lower denominations...they will need to get a higher rate to the dinar as at 1/6 of a penny the lower denominations would be worthless...the plan developed by Dr Shabibi (then the director of the CBI) along with the IMF is to also follow through shortly afterwards with the reinstatement to FOREX with a  revalued rate and to repeg the dinar from the sole peg of the US dollar. We can be assured the new rate has to be at least $3.22 or greater. We are now seeing on the screens a pending rate of close to $5. This rate will NOT advance to FOREX trading until the OFAC sanctions are lifted on the IQD.

7-18-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]  ...what we've heard is we were to be notified either Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. Well, we're not getting it yet...but what I've heard more recently...that said, give it another 48 to 72 hours. That would put us at the weekend...Saturday, Sunday, and we had heard that we would get notified and begin exchanges over the weekend. I can't say that's still going to be the case. It might mean that all we do is get our numbers, which we'll take that. We'll take numbers Saturday or Sunday, and we'll be able to set our appointments and start exchanges early in the week, Monday. 

7-17-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  I personally don't see it happening in the month of July.  Anything is possible.  I hope I'm wrong.  Don't get mad at me.  Don't shoot the messenger.  I see this probably going into August because there's still some check-boxes that have to be finalized and done...

7-17-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  I want to see the new exchange rate right now.  We always say, at the flip of a switch.  It can be, but this is a process.  It's not a waterfall.  It's more like Heinz57 ketchup, but it is pouring and it is coming out.

7-17-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  You do not rebuild your whole financial system to keep a currency worthless. You do it to make the currency clear and globally recognized. But the door has a lock, and Iraq does not yet hold the key.

7-17-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  I have always believed the Iraqi dinar was going to revalue during a time of complete global turmoil, the markets are going to be crashing...fiat currency...is going to be going down the tubes.  Inflation is going to be high... Speculating that that's going to be round the time of the dinar revaluation, I'm going to be investing in more commodity-based assets.  Not all of my dinar returns, but a decent percentage...I truly believe the dinar is just the starting point...If you're wise and smart with the money you get from...the dinar you're going to be able to 50x, 100x, a 1,000x...10,000x [your] initial dinar returns...

And with security that it will not revert back to the former days. We are there...

7-17-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]  Pretty interesting times right now. Overall, the military is on lockdown, and that means information coming from our military sources. We were getting some pretty steady information. That's all shut down now....Actually, most, if not all of the redemption centers are all under new NDAs and are being very quiet, very tight-lipped...

I am told by my CBI contact this is coming very soon to the citizens. 

7-16-2026   Intel Guru Stephen  What percent of your proceeds from the dinar should you put into investments?  What percentage should you buy a home if you desire to buy a home or cars or toys or...charitable giving...philanthropic causes? ...Things become very real once the revaluation has happened...All these hypotheticals are going to become realistic scenarios for a lot of us.  It's always good to start thinking about these things ahead of time and start preparing ahead of time because we simply don't know when.  We don't know how much.  But it's good to start thinking through scenarios so you have somewhat of an idea as far as what your plan is...

7-16-2026   Intel Guru Frank26    We are seeing President Trump and Zaidi have some wonderful discussions.  There are many of them.  That's what we expected.  7 days.  Can you imagine the things they're going to talk about?  Can you imagine what they talked about yesterday? ...Do you think Trump is going to mess around with 1320?  

7-16-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  I don't believe there's a GCR in this...IMO I only think the Iraqi dinar is the only currency that's going to revalue at this time...

7-16-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  When the notes change the mattress stuffed money has to come out. You cannot exchange a lifetime of hoarding cash at a street stall, an old paper that never reaches a counter is just paper.  Every dinar has to walk through a licensed door to become a new one.  That is how you empty the walls without permission and why the front door was widened first.  Cleans the supply, clear the road to re-denominate and then revalue.

7-16-2026   Intel Guru Stephen   I have a hard time understanding how people don't see Iraq as a very viable country but also their currency.  Do you think they're going to do all these economical things moving forward [On Trump/Zaidi meeting] with a currency that's worth 1310 per US dollar?  One tenth of a penny?  I have a hard time believing that...Everything happening is positive.  I have nothing negative today.  This is all good, good stuff.  If you are a dinar investor you should be very positive.

7-16-2026   Intel Guru Frank26    Since the 10th of July the value of the Iraqi dinar [market rate] has been going up.  It may be moving like an inchworm, a little bit at a time, but it's doing the predictable.  It is doing what it was set up to do, scheduled to do, positioned to do.  The numbers are encouraging.  They should be decreasing to the point where it will reach 1 to 1 so that it can play fair with the American dollar...You're going to enjoy watching it grow...

7-16-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff    The rate is not going to change while they're in Washington DC right now...The cabinet has to be approved first.  The government has to be completed...They clearly said multiple times the new government is the administration that walks Iraq into the next stage, next phase...The reason why the government remains incomplete is because they're not ready to revalue exactly now.  But they are ready to revalue in the near future...Completing the full government will take Iraq international and allow them to go international.  That's what you're waiting to see...That's the golden piece of this.

7-16-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  A currency cannot be repriced in a country who's own people will not bank in it.  That is what Zaidi is sitting in Washington to fix this week, and the blueprint the World Bank put in front of him is a plan to make Iraqi banks worth trusting.  The 1300 rate waits on a budget, and the budget waits on nine ministers parliament has not seated...

7-16-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]  ...we did hear from a very strong source that it looks really good for us to get notified Wednesday, Thursday, and or Friday...and then ... this weekend for exchanges to start, so we have a little three-day window, 15, 16/17...Those three days we should receive our notifications and set our appointments and begin getting our exchanges started...we're just looking forward to getting it started... 

7-16-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Iraq is at the very cusp of some major changes that are revolutionary in nature for Iraq. Yes, yes, yes we have heard this before but...this time it is different...I firmly believe we may finally see some REAL progress and changes for Iraq in the coming period that will directly lead us to the RV and Reinstatement.  But we will have to get through it to get to it.

7-15-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   1300 is not in the vision or the future of Donald Trump and Iraq.  You know it.  I know it. The world knows it...

7-15-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  Trump said al-Zaidi was not just going to be a leader in Iraq but one of the main leaders in the Middle East who's going to lead the Middle East with bringing wealth back into the region.  If you're an Iraqi dinar investor these are things we already knew and really what we're banking on.  These are the thing we have believed all these years and this was proof... [Dinar Guru Note:  See Guru Clare's 7-14-2027 full 10-minute Trump/Zaidi interview video below.]

7-15-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Community comment:  "Looks really good for the rate change soon."   Jeff:  Absolutely.  The rate change is not far away at all.  The news and facts are tremendously confirming right now.

7-15-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  The pace has been deliberate and steady.  That consistency is what gives the moment real potential.  We watch for the delivery on the ground, actual inflows, sustained reforms and measurable outcomes.  The direction and messaging are constructive.  Clearly Iraq has come a long way.  The pieces are aligning in a way that supports this long game.  The long game for a lot of us has been too long.  Those of you the just got here, well, lucky you!

7-15-2026   Newshound Guru Samson  Article:  "TRUMP, DURING HIS MEETING WITH AL-ZAIDI AT THE WHITE HOUSE : WE LOVE IRAQ"

7-15-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick   [Iraqi bank friend Aki update] AKI:  When you get to 1,000 to 1, then you will see the pips move quick...by supply and demand.  That is what's going to determine it.  We may not see 'the flip of a switch' but based on supply and demand, we think we will.  WALKINGSTICK: What is your opinion about two months?   AKI:  It can, but it is highly unlikely because as of the 10th we are fully restricted to only use our currency.  Nobody will use anything other else except the dinar... 1 to 1 can come out at any time they choose.

7-15-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   Iraq does not publish announcements before an event and the central bank does not telegraph rate moves.  The last arrives the way the last move arrived, overnight...with the architecture quietly underneath.

7-15-2026   Guest Guru Tink  Trump  Quote:  "We love Iraq."

7-15-2026   Newshound Guru Clare   Article:  "Exclusive: Baghdad and Washington prepare to sign 18 agreements and establish a $1 trillion development fund"  Quote:  "Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi's visit, which is considered historic as he is the first prime minister to be received with such warmth and attention, will lead to the signing of more than 18 partnership agreements in various fields, including politics, economy, industry, energy, oil, education, health, investment and armament, and that these agreements will strengthen the partnership between Iraq and the United States."

7-15-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   Question:  "How long do you think it'll take the float to go 1 to 1?"   I don't know but it'll be quick.  Not years.  It'll be quick, the supply and demand.  When this happens...you're going to see everybody, the man on the moon, will be talking about it.  Because of that type of attention, oh my gosh, even whales and sharks would be willing to buy 1 million dinars now at $1 million because they know the potential of what is about to happen.  They have a small window.  They've got to move fast.

7-15-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  The meeting between Trump and Al-Zaidi in the Oval Office today with the media there is really just ceremonial.  They're not talking about anything substantial or logistical...Where the big things and the big meetings are happening is behind closed doors.  I believe we are going to see the fruit and outcome and get a lot more information next week once they are back in Iraq...You can tell Trump really likes this guy.  There was really good chemistry between the both of them...When Trump likes someone he pats them on the back.  He jokes around with them.  He was joking with Al-Zaidi saying, 'You're young.  You're handsome.  We helped you get elected.'  Trump reiterated that quite a few times saying this was our guy that we put into that position in Iraq...Al-Zaidi almost looked like he was part of the Trump administration...We have a lot of exciting things. [Dinar Guru Note:  See Guru Clare's full 10-minute Trump/Zaidi presser video below.]

7-15-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   I was in the wrong in today's news.  I'm glad to be in the wrong in this.  It was neat...looking at things from different angles...They finally posted Trump's schedule and it clearly showed as of 11:00am eastern time [Tuesday] when Trump would be meeting with Iraqi officials...Yes, I was wrong...It was a good experience.

7-15-2026   Newshound Guru Ariel   I have been busy gathering info on the more unreported info.  And I will tell you this the consensus among long positions held by some whales in the more private side of this are coming to the conclusion that once this meeting is over there will be nothing left to question whether or not this is going to happen for anyone still on the fence... Quote: “Iraqi Prime Minister: We will announce from Washington the economic and political partnership with the United States”.  That Last Statement Should Be Your 1st Clue.

7-15-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  Article: “ALI AL-ZAIDI ARRIVES IN WASHINGTON TO MEET TRUMP”  Quote:  "Prime Minister Ali al-Zubaidi arrived in Washington, D.C., on Monday (July 13, 2026), accompanied by a high-level delegation, to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump"  ...coming changes...are dependent on what happens from this trip by the new prime minister al-Zaidi of Iraq to Washington. This is why this trip this week is like no other by no other prime minister...  

7-14-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  Al-Zaidi I believe is personally being controlled and led by the USA and being told what to do,  what moves to make in order to make sure that Iraq is successful and Iran has their grip off of that country...I personally believe the reason why he has not seated [the missing] ministers yet is because the USA is going to suggest who he needs to put in there.  

7-14-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article:  "The Prime Minister has received an invitation from Congress to visit."  

7-14-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   Trump is a salesman for the monetary reform of Iraq.  He cannot implement it.  He sure can push it  though.  

7-14-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  This trip to DC Washington is happening around the rate change...Don't treat this like it's a critical because it's not.  Those of you thinking, 'Oh my gosh, he went there at 1310.'  You're just stressing yourself out and there's no reason to do that.  It doesn't matter that he went there at 1310.  It's simply for future business relations for after the rate has changed...What you should get excited about is what they're hiding from you, which is the full completion of the cabinet because they told you a completed government take Iraq to the next stage/phase.  They're hiding that date from you...  

7-14-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick  What is the monetary reform trying to do with  the currency of Iraq?  It is trying to get the currency of Iraq to be at least on par 1 to 1 with the American dollar.  If you have an Iraqi dinar in your hand you want it to have purchasing power of at least $1.00.  That's the whole purpose...After the 10th we are actually seeing all of these  mechanisms come into effect...Many things are trying to get the Iraqi dinar to 1 to 1  with the American dollar. 

7-14-2026  Newshound Guru Clare  Trump/Zaidi White House visit video: TRUMP SAID "WE LOVE IRAQ, THEY'RE WELL REPRESENTED, THIS MAN JUST WON A BIG ELECTION, THEY ARE VERY WELL REPRESENTED"

7-14-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  The Washington visit is being framed as the next big catalyst for investment, tech transfer, and deeper global integration — all of which strengthen the fundamentals for long-term REER stability and monetary moves going forward.

7-14-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ
   [via PDK]  Zaidi arrives and has     a busy day of high-level meetings. Today Prime Minister Zaidi has appointments with President Trump, Vice President Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and with the Secretary of the US Treasury-Scott Bessent. Think about that...There is a lot going on in DC today with PM Zaidi. 

7-14-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   Iraq's prime minister is in Washington ...He brought his entire economic cabinet and booked 5 days...The finance minister sits with the World Bank, the IMF and the US Treasury, working to clear Iraq off the FATF grey list it landed on last month. The oil minister carries a development fund...to 400 billion dollars...with the proceeds held in US  banks ... Every file points the same way - out of Tehran's orbit and into Washington's ...What looks like a handshake is the new  financial system being built, and Iraq is the country they are building it on first...When a country is finally let back inside the system, the thing that gets repriced is its currency...

7-14-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  I'm not here to convince anyone.  I'm here to present the facts...Ultimately people have to make their own decision on if this is an investment they want to be part of.  I personally believe this is going to be a once in a life-time financial event.  I believe if you are invested in the Iraqi dinar you have been strategically placed into this  investment for a time such as this.  I'm excited.  I'm excited for you if you hold dinar.  I'm excited and looking forward to some big things happening in the near future...

7-14-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article:  "The White House reveals to Shafaq News details of Trump's demands of al-Zaidi before their meeting on Tuesday"  Quote:  "A senior official in the US administration revealed on Monday evening the details of the files and basic demands that US President Donald Trump will put on the table for discussion with Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi, ahead of their anticipated meeting at the White House on Tuesday at 11:00 AM Washington time."

7-14-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  OMAR:  The television is showing that the delegation is leaving.  It was a total of 70...including Zaidi and the leading officials for finance...also the new CBI governor and there are 30 businessmen...The trip to Washington will include meetings with the World Bank, IMF and the United States Treasury...  FRANK:  The eagle has landed in Washington DC...

7-14-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Prove me wrong - I need you to show me on any major US news, not Reuters, that Zaidi traveled here today or show me his schedule that he came here via Trump's schedule that he's meeting with Iraq officials.  It has to be the White House.  You can't tell me they're not going to post it.  It has to be posted on Trump's schedule or the White House schedule because that's where they would all have top level security protection...So either show me via meetings or schedules that he came here via either White House or Trumps schedules or US news that he traveled there...

7-14-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]  I am hearing a lot of rumors about the Admirals Group having started…I have a lot of contacts in the “Admirals Group” and some have moved…but not everybody.  Do they think the rest are getting ready to move?   Yes...This is from someone actually involved in the process... I cannot say the exact timing…all we can do is guess. What I believe is a reasonable guesstimation is if they do complete Indian Nations and bonds this week, (I was told bonds will get 100% funds...) and when that money starts rolling out then within hours or just a few days…that is when the groups go and then we get our announcements to go off to our redemptions ...We are watching the steps happen before we go. Just relax…I believe we are moving.  [Post 2 of 2]

7-14-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]   Here is what I am hearing from a number of different contacts in a number of geographic locations around the world. I am being told the Indian Nations have now gotten to about 80% funded and processed. This comes from one Indian source and a couple of bond folks who were given these updates. They say its expected to finish/wrap up in the next few days…and then bonds roll. This explains why bond folks are very excited. They are hearing the Indian nations are about to wrap up...I am very encouraged and think this is great…especially coming from the sources I am getting this from.  [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

7-13-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   We are drawing very close to the end of this...Start preparing for when it happens because this is going to be a very emotional event for a lot of people.  Most people are just going to be happy to go to the bank.  They're not going to do any prior research.  They're going to drive to their closest bank and the bank is going to say, this is what we're  offering.  This is the fee.  This is the spread.  And people are not even going to care.  They're just going to take it.  That is where a lot of mistakes are going to be made...

7-13-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  Question: "Do you see it going more than 1 to 1?" Frank:  Yeah.  1 to 1 is a good starting point...But because of supply and demand...because of everything that we are seeing, everybody's on pins and needles just waiting to explode with the Iraqi dinar...it probably could be released at 1 to $1.10 - $1.15 - $1.20...

7-13-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  The dinar trades at 1,300 to the dollar for one reason... That number is frozen in the 2023 budget law, and it moves only when a seated cabinet passes a new budget with a new number for the central bank to announce. Clean the government, seat the cabinet, pass the budget, and the rate can finally answer to the wealth underneath it.

7-13-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick  [Iraqi bank friend Aki update] AKI: It'll be a gradual increase but a flip of a switch can also occur at any moment due to the laws that encompass reform.  The flip of a switch would show whatever rate he's saying automatically.  But we also know the flip of the switch was already started on the 10th...and you can see the movements of the currency...The rate can come out today or tomorrow because it is all based on supply and demand...Until then there will continue to be numerous pips that are happening.  But the rate that is slowly going up could reach the level we want overnight by supply and demand.

7-13-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  They're saving the most important piece for last.  Completing the cabinet after his return from Washington because that's the lynch pin.  That's what takes Iraq to the next stage, next phase...Iraq is on the threshold of getting back on the world stage, ...being open for business to the world...You're very close to the point of the rate change...

7-13-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article: "Al-Zaidi Heads to US to Transition Ties into Long-Term Economic Partnership" Quote: "Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faeh al-Zaidi will lead a high-level delegation to the United States on Monday to sign key memorandums of understanding in the oil and gas sectors. Al-Zaidi will be accompanied by several cabinet ministers, the Central Bank Governor, and private investors from the energy and banking sectors...unlike previous visits, its primary theme is the economy,"

7-13-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  Structural progress - reduced dollar preference by citizens + official expectations of a stronger parallel rate + high level US engagement + CBI reform rollout - these are converging indicators that the long discussed dinar revaluation is entering an active implementation phase...Further appreciation, potentially much larger in official terms, is  imminent.  That's what we've all been waiting for. 
 
7-13-2026  Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]  Zaidi, the Prime Minister of Iraq and his team heads to the US…they have already landed here... 

7-13-2026   Newshound Guru Samson  Article:  "PRIME MINISTER : WE CARRY TO WASHINGTON A MESSAGE OF CONFIDENCE THAT IRAQ IS A  SOVEREIGN STATE STRIVING FOR DEVELOPMENT"

7-13-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   We all know Iraq is going through a financial currency reform but more so we know Iraq is becoming a financial currency hub and they're being prepared to be just that in the Middle East.  It's very exciting because we're witnessing it.  We can see it.

7-13-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   Iraq's prime minister just flew to Washington...His central bank governor is on the plane. So are his finance minister and his oil minister. You do not fly the people who run a country's money to a meeting that is only about oil. The prize... - getting Iraq's money treated as clean enough to let back into the financial system after years held at arm's length.

7-13-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  We probably have one of the most exciting weeks coming up ever since I've been involved in this investment...Zaidi, the Iraqi prime minister is heading to Washington DC with his entire delegation, including the central bank governor.  The entire purpose of this trip is really for economic support...This upcoming week we are going to find out a lot of exciting news.  Stay grounded.  We don't know what we don't know.  There's a lot happening behind the scenes that I'm sure will be  released to the public soon...

7-13-2026   Guest Guru Jon Dowling   "Iraq’s Biggest Update yet, July 13th Trip to Trigger the Reset" Iraq is stepping onto the international stage with renewed vigor, signaling a proactive approach to both its foreign relations and domestic  economic landscape. Recent developments highlight a strategic push to solidify its position globally while simultaneously tackling internal  challenges through ambitious reform efforts. A key indicator of Iraq’s renewed international focus is the expedited visit of Prime Minister Al Zaidi to Washington D.C...set for July 13th...Iraq’s proactive engagement on both the international diplomatic front and its ambitious domestic economic reform agenda marks a pivotal moment for the nation. With significant recoveries from corruption and forward-looking discussions on financial modernization, Iraq is charting a course towards greater stability and  influence.

7-13-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  Article:   “THE US TREASURY IS TRACKING $300 BILLION OUTSIDE THE IRAQI BANKING SYSTEM.”  ...nearly 70-80% of all the currency...is horded, stashed or stored outside of the banks... The US Treasury is now helping to track down this money and where it is... Remember that the hard currency that we hold is included in this amount of 80%. They will have to come get it from us too. There is no way of getting around this if they truly want to resolve this issue.  Article quote:  "Some resort to converting dinars into foreign currencies, most notably the dollar, which puts undue pressure on demand and leads to higher exchange rates in the parallel market." 

7-13-2026   Newshound Guru Ariel   Are you all even reading what is coming out of Iraq regarding this upcoming Washington meeting?  Do you not see how they are framing this as reaching the end of a long bridge from where they started with monetary reforms from what they are about to accomplish as the tipping point once it concludes?  Especially since ASYCUDA is now activated. Monday and throughout that entire week trade agreements will be made that will allow Iraq to finish not only their cabinet but reforms.  Quote: “A series of major agreements will be signed in the fields of energy and the economy…. and the rest goes without saying…. and I return to say… before the visit will not resemble what comes after it.”

7-12-2026   Newshound Guru Clare   Article:  "Small denominations of the Iraqi dinar reveal a negative indicator of the money supply... An expert explains with figures"  Quote:  "According to data from the Central Bank of Iraq ...the total number of banknotes issued increased from about 5.8 trillion banknotes in 2022 to 6.3 trillion banknotes in 2026, which led to an increase in the per capita share of banknotes from 120 banknotes to 141 banknotes, raising their total value per person from 1.8 million dinars to 2.51 million dinars...   the  50,000 dinar... as the number of issued notes jumped from 319 million notes in 2022 to more than 941 million notes in 2026... the prominence of large groups is an economic indicator that most of this money is going towards hoarding outside the banking system instead of circulating in the economy...The failure of small groups to grow in proportion to the size of the total money supply...necessitates a comprehensive review of monetary policy"

7-12-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  If you are a dinar investor you need to look at all of these reforms happening together.  Not just the ASYCUDA system being implemented but you have digital customs...digital banking, electronic payments, anti-money laundering reforms, new central bank governor who's anti-corruption...new PM who is anti-corruption...better border control...tax collection improvements...digital trade...reduced cash economy...international banking connections.  All of these things are  extremely positive for dinar investors.

7-12-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  Pips are partial movements of a currency rate.  Two days before the 10th we saw that the dinar was gaining value against the dollar in the street markets.  Yesterday we saw it wasn't doing so much [going up] but it was jumping all over.  Then today...the IQD is slightly up.  I don't care if it's slightly.  It's going up.  We need to see the direction to be upward like walking up a staircase...I'm extremely excited that what we wanted to see, we're seeing.

7-12-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  ASYCUDA system is a big deal because it's going to support the value or REER (Real Effective Exchange Rate) on into the future.  Their focus is on non-oil revenues diversification...

7-12-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  We at the civilian level will have 90-days to exchange.  Countries, central banks, will not have to adhere to the 90-days.  Don't confuse central banks with you and I at the civilian level.  We will have a 90-day period to get them turned in most likely because they've already done that twice in Iraq.  The central banks won't have to adhere to 90 days.  The central banks will use it under Basil III compliance to asset back their currency values.   Central banks and governments are different than you and I...at the civilian level.  Don't mix those two up.

7-12-2026   Newshound Guru Samson  Article:  "AL-ZAIDI GOES TO WASHINGTON TO BARGAIN WITH TRUMP: WEAPONS FOR THE FACTIONS IN EXCHANGE FOR A BROADER PARTNERSHIP"

7-12-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick [Iraqi bank friend Aki update] AKI:  Zaidi already knows what Trump is going to talk to him about.  He's going to talk to him about the movements about [the dinar] on the global market scale now because it has started dedollarizing on the 10th of July...Trump feels Iraq still owes the United States some money...Trump is being bold...

7-12-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   It can happen at any moment...It may not be two weeks or two months... It is a logical thing to accept anywhere from 1 to 2 months from now.  When you stop and think about it is a small time.  It's a small price to pay compared to the time that we have been waiting...I believe it's coming!

7-12-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article: "As confirmed by Shafaq News, Al-Zaidi will travel to Washington tomorrow"  Quote:  "Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zubaidi will head to the US capital, Washington, on Monday, at the head of a high-level delegation, in a visit that Baghdad has confirmed is of great importance, especially as it comes at a delicate regional time."

7-12-2026   Newshound Guru Harlequinc3   I believe we're waiting for 1000-1 and then remove 3 0s to make it 1-1.  Going from 1530 to 1310 closes the parallel market. Then we'll see that "parallel" rate of 1310 surpassed (it'll be going the OTHER way from the official rate for the first time in dinar history -- going higher than the official rate instead of lower) and that "parallel" rate will go up to 1000-1. Then the CBI 'pulls the trigger' on a rate change jump from 1000-1 all the way up to 1-1 (removing the 3 0s) -- making the official mean 1 dinar gives you $1 (and if they add a little bit to sweeten the deal to ensure the citizens drop the dollar like a bad habit...I personally imo think they selected 1310 for a reason, and may be more like $1.31-ish...)

7-12-2026   Newshound Guru Clare   Article:  "Al-Mustaqilla reveals: 3 key issues in Al-Zaidi's visit to Washington"  Quote: "As attention turns to Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zubaidi's visit to Washington on July 15, information...reveals that the economic agenda will be at the forefront of the talks, with an American focus on financial files related to Iran, while the file of combating corruption is absent from the visit's agenda....these files reflects Washington’s interest in securing the Iraqi financial system and preventing its use as a loophole to circumvent sanctions, at a time when Baghdad is seeking to maintain the stability of the dinar’s exchange rate..."

7-12-2026   Newshound Guru  Stephen   At a 50-cent RV, if your target was $1 million you would need about 2 million Iraqi dinar...If you wanted to walk away with about $10 million, then you would need to own about 20 million Iraq dinar.  That is about $20,000 (invested)...Iraqi dinar could revalue at $1.00...Let's say your target was to walk away with $1 million, you would need 1 million Iraqi dinar...If your goal was to walk away with $10 million, you would need to own about 10 million Iraqi dinar.  That's worth about $10,000 today... Using a $3.00 revaluation...if your goal was to walk away with $1 million, you would need to own about 333,000 Iraqi dinar...If your goal was to walk away with $10 million...then you would need to own about 3,333,333 Iraqi dinar.  That's roughly $3,300 (invested)...Sometimes it's fun to speculate... [Post 2 of 2]    [Dinar Guru Note:  Feel free to use the Dinar Guru Calculator to see how much your dinar is worth at different possible rates.  The calculator link is at the top of this page.]

7-12-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   I do believe we are getting closer to the end of this Iraqi dinar valuation ride.  I wanted to go over a few different possible rate outcomes - How much dinar you would need to own in order to...walk away with...the amount you're looking for? ...Do I believe the Iraqi dinar will revalue at 10 cents?  I personally do not. However I think it is important to be prepared for all possible scenarios...Iraq might want to revalue at a very low rate to pull in a lot of notes, to get a lot of people to exchange quickly and then possibly raise the rate...I based my entire Iraqi dinar investment on 10-cent revaluation.  This way if the revaluation comes out a lot higher I'm going to be happy...If your target is to walk away with $1 million, at 10-cent RV, you would need 10 million Iraqi dinar...If your goal was to walk away with $10 million then you'd need to own 100 million Iraqi dinar, that's roughly $100,000 (invested)...  [Post 1 of 2...stay tuned]

7-12-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  The ASYCUDA has started.  That means the Iraqi dinar is slowly going to start to go up in value...I don't care if it's a real small incremental move.  I don't care if it's a small little pip movement.  I don't care about that as long as we see...appreciation.

7-12-2026   Intel Guru Bruce  [via WiserNow] ...it sounds like Monday, Tuesday are in play for us to get notified and set appointments with exchanges starting quite possibly Wednesday, the 15th of July...That's what it looks like right now... and if we get in by Wednesday the 15th for exchanges, let's all call it a win. 

7-12-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  There are many more reasons for withholding the return of the IQD to FOREX. If you have been in this investment, even for a few years, you have witnessed the corruption and now in today’s news we see it again. We see a huge surge of arrests under the new prime minister al-Zaidi and much of the stolen funds that are to be repatriated ...The recent efforts in Iraq to combat this corruption are stemming from the efforts of the newest envoy to Iraq, Tom Barrack (economic hitman) working in tandem with the new prime minister...I believe also this is all part of the Washington takedown of the Iranian regime as you can’t disconnect what Iran has been doing to Iraq...I believe that in this point of time, only president Trump can manifest any real progress in making lasting peace in the middle east and perhaps molding Iraq too to complete requirements to satisfy moving back to FOREX.  

7-11-2026  Newshound Guru Stephen  It's a very very fluid situation.  We have to see how things play out.  It's all positive.  It's all good things if you are a dinar investor.  I don't see how you can't be very very positive and excited right now.  We're not there yet but I believe we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Some of you have been involved for 20...15...5 years.  I know a few people that have only been involved in this for under a year...keep your head up.  Stay positive. Let's see how things play out the rest of the month. We are in very very exciting times.  

7-11-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   Why do [The Iraqi politicians and elite administrative officers] steal trillions and trillions of dinars?  You can see the trillions that are being retrieved right?  Why do they steal trillions and trillions of dinars if they are worthless?  Because they won't be soon...[LOL-Laugh].  

7-11-2026   Newshound Guru Samson Article: "JUDICIARY : 14 BILLION DINARS SEIZED IN THE AL-JUMAILI CASE, HIDDEN IN A RAINWATER  DRAINAGE PIT" 

7-11-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  Vietnam has a much stronger economy than it did decades ago, but the government still carefully manages the currency instead of allowing it to rise sharply.  Vietnam chooses an export-driven manufacturing  economy...Iraq's economy remains heavily dependent on oil revenues.  See the difference?  ...Vietnam's government continues to hold  the VND down.  In Iraq's case it's the Central Bank of Iraq, who openly holds the IQD down and with good reason.  Iraq is still  implementing banking reform.  Even if the CBI allowed the currency to float or...allowed the currency to increase in value, it would be difficult on an international level because the Iraqi banks don't yet talk to the banks in Hong Kong, London or New York.  Not yet. [Post 2 of 2]

7-11-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  VND vs IQD.  Both countries were at war with America.  However after the war the two countries took different paths...How do those paths affect the currency...?  Because Vietnam is governed by a communist system that  closely controls its currency, the Vietnamese dong (VND) receives less attention from currency investors...That said, Vietnam's economy has grown rapidly.  Foreign investment remain strong and the VND is often viewed as a relatively stable currency...Vietnam now uses the American dollar to help facilitate its massive travel industry...The economy has grown rapidly in Vietnam but chooses to keep the VND relatively weak to help exports...Vietnam is a communist country who grows money like a capitalist... [Post 1 of 1]  

7-11-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   A currency cannot climb while a foreign power is quietly bleeding it.   The Iraqi dinar could not price at its real value for 20 years because too much of its money flowed to Iran. This week, for the first time, both hands [ASYCUDA, a customs system] closed on the wound at once.

7-11-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   IMO I think Z's going to DC the week of July 19th, not next week.  I think he's going there after the rate has changed...I think they will complete his cabinet by the end of next week...

7-11-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   A stronger currency usually belongs to countries that have accurate trade records, modernized banking, lower corruption, reliable tax collection and investors who actually trust the country.  The ASYCUDA system helps to improve several of those areas...Before a country wants a stronger currency it usually wants good customs... banking... accounting ...trade data...compliance.  The ASCUDA system is one of those foundational pieces.

7-11-2026   Intel Guru Frank26    Every day from now on it looks like there will be a slight improving to the value of [the Iraqi dinar market rate] as the black market is slowly winding down.  The two parallel lines will eventually intersect, the official rate and the black market...

7-11-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   This news is coming out of the Middle East and Iraq...Gold has now overtaken the U.S. dollar in central bank reserves.  That's huge, that's massive.

7-11-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Just recently the integrity commission along with the security forces inside Iraq conducted a huge sting operation called ‘Dawn Charge’. This has got Trump written all over it…president Trump is BIG in cleaning out corruption and corrupt officials. To move Iraq ahead this is a necessity. It is only through the economic hitman Tom Barrack that this movement is now making a dent in the corruption in Iraq... the end result may very well be...an entire new paradigm for Iraq and how it will conduct business and politics. This could be the start of the ‘economic revolution’ they talked about...

7-11-2026   Intel Guru Bruce [via WiserNow]  Obviously. we're still sort of in sort of a conflict mode with Iran, and hopefully that will be over very soon. And it does not appear that it is hampering the efforts of us going in to redeem our ZIM and exchange our currency, at least at this point, I'm not hearing anything from the military saying we're held up.  

7-10-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   I do not believe the Iraqi dinar is going to revalue before Al-Zaidi goes to visit with Trump.  I know a lot of the other gurus are claiming, it has to happen before the visit.  I reject those statements...I'd be more than happy to be wrong but I don't see it happening until there is a completely seated government...The news can change <snap> just like that.

7-10-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   As far as when the rate comes out, I don't know and neither do you.  But we both know without a doubt it is being delivered to the Iraqi citizens right now.  But it is a process...It is a process that one day will lead you where you'll say, wow!  That process, that journey, will cause you to be amazed at what's going on.  You have to be careful.  Only  you can make the decision on when to exchange your currency...Right now you're going to have to watch the closing of the [market rate and official rate] gap.  Once it reaches that, then you're going to have to worry about the float.  Where do you get off this train? 

7-10-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   Investing in Iran's currency - before you look at me sideways, just know that savvy investors all over the globe are looking at the possibilities.  Pakistan even made a video on the subject. 

7-10-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]  Well, we didn't make that last back wall of the fourth...so we can forget about the term back wall, because it never seems to happen for us, so I apologize for any information I may have brought out that didn't happen, and I'm not happy about it... Well, you know, I get disappointed, just like you guys do. Just so you know, I've been on this ride...for a long time - 21 years invested, and I know it's happening. I know it's coming, but it just isn't here yet, is it?  Have I lost faith? No.  Has my faith increased? Probably. 

7-10-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Question: "Are there any other currencies that are going to go?"   I don't believe any other currencies are going to go but that's my opinion and I respect there's many other people that think there's other currencies...

7-10-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   Corruption has been the one single-handedly thing that has held the country of Iraq back.  It has stolen from their people directly and it has delayed the Iraqi dinar revaluation.  It has all let us to the point we are at right now which is the tipping point.  It's really a do or die type time period we are in.

7-10-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  The next two months are going to be extremely exciting because we will be able to see and follow the evidence of every PIP movement on a daily basis.  It will increase the value of the dinar's exchange rate.  It will eventually hit 1 to 1 and eradicate the black market.  After the RI is established, maybe around $3.22, then they can start the float which  might put you in the $4.00 range...

7-10-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article: "Government advisor: No change in the dinar exchange rate against the dollar"  Quote:  "The financial advisor to the Iraqi Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, denied the existence of any plan or program by the Iraqi government to change the exchange rate of the dinar against the dollar, stressing that this matter has not been discussed in any way."  EVEN A DENIAL AT THIS TIME IS TIMELY.

7-10-2026   Boots On The Ground Guru OMAR  On television Prime Minister Z is going to leave Iraq on Monday the 13th.  He's leaving with a whole bunch of businessmen out of Iraq that are going to Washington to see the president in the United States of America.  They're going to be there six days...He's going to leave a couple days early...Then they'll get back over here...around the 19th or 20th.  Then they said they were going to get the cabinet right away announced...

7-10-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  For years, Iraq's central bank sold dollars at the official rate to anyone who could show paperwork for imported goods. Much of that paperwork was fake...The cheap official dollars flowed straight...to Tehran and the militias it funds. One Baghdad bank alone is accused of pulling 6.5 billion dollars out of the auction on fraudulent paper.  That  fraud... was a supply line, and Iran stood at the end of it, fed dollars the United States itself had wired into Iraq's account. This morning it changed. Iraq switched on ASYCUDA, a customs system...so the fake paper stops clearing. The central bank also cut the cash dollars a traveler can carry from 3,000 to 2,000 a month, closing the retail leak alongside it.

7-10-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen The biggest argument for the Iraq dinar not being able to revalue is because the money supply is too large.  When you have trillions of dollars getting smuggled and stolen every single month, when you put a stop to that...you're greatly reducing the money supply and you're saving the country a lot of money.  [ASYCUDA] single-handedly is going to stop a lot of the corruption that's been going on in Iraq for years and years and years.

7-10-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   Denial of the truth...Denial phase, that's where we're at...China did the same thing.  All countries that go through a change in their currency will constantly put off speculators with all types of denials and misdirection and lies.  That's what you're witnessing right now.  I don't care if it comes from the CBI.  You have cockroaches everywhere.  I think I know what Trump wants.  That's all that matters.

7-10-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]   ...everything I'm hearing is mostly pointing toward the weekend and exchanges to start early next week, so that's that's if everything goes according to plan. 

7-10-2026   Newshound Guru Ariel   ...Preparation For The Market Economy (I Think You Will Like This Update)...The Central Bank of Iraq’s moves full reintegration of dollar banks under tighter oversight, mandatory ASYCUDA electronic customs declarations kicking in hard around July 10 are choking those old loopholes.  No more paper invoices sliding through borders unchecked.  Revenue’s already spiking in some reports, smuggling routes drying up, and that forces real domestic velocity...The old cabal-adjacent networks loved the dollar auction casino because it funneled liquidity their way. Choking it starves those veins while prepping Iraq for Forex-level credibility.  This couldn’t have happened at a better time folks.

7-10-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  I have been telling everyone for years that this Iranian proxy status in Iraq must end and Iran must be taken down and we would not see the RV until this happens...Now it is happening and the takedown is underway. We all should be very happy for this situation not gloomy....

7-9-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  You're not going to see the new exchange rate boom! At the flip of a switch.  It's going to be a slow process of supply and demand that will take it to a level that we hope is 1 to 1...It's a process but after the 10th look out!

7-9-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   I am a true believer.  I believe the revaluation is not a matter of if but when.  I believe this will be one of the largest financial events in our lifetime...You probably feel that way too.  I'm excited you're here...

7-9-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  They said the new government would take Iraq to the next stage.  That means the completed government with completed cabinet would take Iraq into the International world...They're saving the cabinet for the very end because it's the lynch pin.  When the cabinet is done that completes the government, they're going to change the rate shortly after that.

7-9-2026   Intel Guru Guy  Prior to this year we would get maybe one solid piece of intel a month and then it was every two weeks, then it was every week and now it's almost every day.  There is an acceleration of solid news and intelligence coming out of Iraq and other countries too regarding their currencies and their revaluation of those currencies.  They're coming into the US dollar system.

7-9-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article: "Iraq resumes cash dollar shipments ... but experts downplay their impact on the market!"   Quote: "The Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed on Tuesday that Iraq has resumed receiving shipments of US dollars in cash, with each shipment amounting to approximately $500 million...The continued arrival of cash dollar shipments sends a positive signal to the parallel market increasing the level of certainty among traders gradually leads to a narrowing of the gap between the official rate of 1,320 dinars per dollar and the parallel market rate,"

7-9-2026   Newshound Guru Thom   Article:  "Iraq has maintained its upper-middle income status in the World Bank's 2026-2027 Country Income Classifications, joining Jordan, Turkey, China, Brazil, and Malaysia in the same bracket."  This is good news in my opinion, which demonstrates stability, even though there is a military conflict spilling over the border from just to the East.

7-9-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  Question: "Will the activation of the ASYCUDA across the country on the 10th of July trigger a rate change?"  It is a plausible scenario for us to watch for the 10th...A timed REER adjustment could complement the ASYCUDA by providing a more realistic valuation backdrop for customs declarations and payments.  It would make dinar denominated trade transactions less risky and more attractive... 

7-9-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   Question:  "When we're watching it float, for instance $0.50 cents, would you still be able to cash in at that time?"   Yeah!  If you have a million dinar it would be a half a million dollars.  Not bad.  It's up to you.  Take the money and invest it...You don't have to wait for the RV.  You don't have to wait for a float.  You don't have to wait for it to climb.  Me, at my age, at 70 years old, I'm going at 1 to 1...You can have all your damn 3-zero notes.  I'm all set...I may hold on to a few million dinars...and let that work for me...I'm going to go 90% cashed out, 10% I'll hold on to watch it climb...I don't think it would be wise to sit there and wait and gamble to see if the markets will take it to an RI or RV.  What if it doesn't? 

7-9-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   Sometimes it's fun to speculate...If I want to have $10 million when it's all said and done, how much Iraqi dinar do I have to own? ...Play with the numbers, play with the rates and see what that number would be for you.  I have always tried to base it on the worst case scenario, which would be the lowest rate plausible.   How much Iraq dinar would I have to own to walk away with a certain number in my head that would make me happy?  That's how I based my entire investment strategy.  Any  number that it revalues higher than that is all icing on the cake. [Dinar Guru Note:  Feel free to use the Dinar Guru Calculator to see how much your dinar is worth at different possible rates.  The calculator link is at the top of this page.]

7-9-2026   Newshound Guru  Harlequinc3   I believe we are talking about a managed float, not a free float until all those old 3 0 notes are dried up. The CBI will control the range of motion the dinar has.

7-9-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram The next thing I asked myself is, can Iraq afford it?  Surprisingly enough the answer is yes...Iraq's foreign exchange reserves are between $90 to $110 billion in recent years.  Even $1 billion currency replacement would represent only 1% of its reserves...So, yes, Iraq could afford to reprint their currency.  Now, Why would Iraq reprint...?  Reprinting the currency would automatically give the Central Bank of Iraq control over the Iraqi currency...Reprinting the currency would not automatically change the exchange rate but it would enable an adjustment right around the corner of the Iraqi dinar...They could increase the value of their currency so much faster, so much easier and with more confidence if they reprint their currency...That is exactly what Zimbabwe did...Zimbabwe gave everybody a 21-day swap window... [Post 2 of 2]

7-9-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   What does it cost to print a banknote?  Modern banknotes with advanced security features generally cost between 5 to 10 cents each.  If they want high, high security notes, then the cost goes up to 10 to 30 cents per bank note....The question becomes how many banknotes would Iraq need?  The estimation is Iraq would need between 4 to 8 billion banknotes.  That's how many banknotes they believe are circulating ...That includes the banknotes we have in the United States, UK and other parts of the world but it may not include the banknotes countries are holding.  The cost for...8 billion new printed banknotes at 15 cents per banknote would be $1.2 billion to reprint the money...There are additional costs:  designing the new notes... shipping ...insurance...storage...ATM calibration for every ATM machine in Iraq...approximately $100 to $300 million.  [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned] 

7-9-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   PMZ's trip to DC...we have three different time frames being mentioned.  The Majority of the articles have suggested mid-July...A couple have said July 15th, a couple have said July 17th...I don't think PMZ is going to DC specifically next week...I think PMZ is going to DC more the week of July 19th....maybe around 21st, 22nd, 23rd...I think  everything is pushed back one week.

7-9-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  My teams are focused on one thing, and that is to start to watch the value of the Iraq dinar climb...while the market rate is destroyed after July 10th.  I find that very exciting.  We are going to be able to see the evidence of the shadows that we have been seeing or a long time.

7-9-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  Article:  "Iraqi dinar will rise once Erbil and Baghdad finalize the ASYCUDA agreement"  This is a very large piece of the puzzle we are waiting for and looking for that is going to accelerate what we're all waiting for, which is the revaluation of the Iraqi dinar...Before ASYCUDA imagine someone brings 1,000 TVs into Iraq.  They tell customs the TVs are worth only $20,000.  But the TVs are actually worth $500,000... everything is done by... writing things down with pen and notepad...They pay very little tax and the government loses money.  That's how corruption wins...As of July 10th this new AYCUDA system gets implemented...That means...the system knows what the product is, where it came from, who bought it, what it is actually worth, how much tax should be paid on it...I'd say trillions of dollars have been stolen just through their failed border system in Iraq.  This is a huge deal.

7-9-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   I have heard over and over and over that the only allowable float is a 2% per year.  That's one thing that my sources agree on lock step that any float would be a managed float with an acceptable level of float at 2% per year.  So those that think they're going to hang onto it and make a fortune, I just think you're foolish.  I very much believe who all has told me that one...

7-9-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]  I had one source that was a good source, still is, that is talking about if we don't get something...by Thursday, then we're looking at the weekend to be notified.  Then another...extremely high source, is telling us if everything goes according to plan, ...we will be exchanging very early next week. 

7-9-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   ...we don’t control the reinstatement...we all should know by now that the Iraqi dinar is being artificially suppressed and its real value, if it were to be restated to FOREX today, would be/should be much higher than 1/6 of a penny...we can see that a new Iraq is on the horizon. No, not decades or years from now. So, we have to wait a bit longer but the inevitable will happen and it has to happen.

7-8-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  I personally do not believe it's going to be a $7.00 revaluation...I don't see it revaluing at  $7.00 right out of the gate.  Maybe the rate might work itts way up there in the coming years possibly but I don't see them coming  out with a $7.00 revaluation out of the gate.  Just doesn't make any sense to me.  I've looked at the math.  The math ain't mathing on that... 

7-8-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  They'll form the government but they may not come out with the rate on that day because after the 10th of July that is when we are paying attention to anything associated with the rate.  

7-8-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff Question: "Are you going to exchange all your dinars at the same bank?  Multiple?"   If my bank removes all my back-end fees and they already told me they would, I'm going to exchange it at one time.  There's no reason to do it  multiple times, in trips or different banks.  If my primary bank will give me face value for it, I'm going to do it at one time.  [Dinar Guru Note:  Consult your financial and asset protection professionals at the appropriate time to determine the best exchange  strategy for your unique circumstances.]

7-8-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  The cleanup is how Iraq buys its way back through the door the banks shut on it. Clean the house, and the value follows.  Singapore ran this exact play. Lee Kuan Yew took a corrupt 1960s port, made theft a career- ending crime, and turned it into one of the safest places on earth to hold a dollar. The cleaning came first. The money followed.  What took Singapore years, Iraq is running in weeks, in front of Washington, with a reported 400 billion dollar energy fund waiting on the other side.

7-8-2026   Newshound Guru Samson Article: "AN AMERICAN PERSPECTIVE : AL-ZAIDI INVOKES THE 'GODFATHER' TO DISMANTLE THE DEEP STATE IN IRAQ"  

7-8-2026   Newshound Guru Pimpy  There are a lot of articles about Iraq cleaning up all of its corruption.  This reminds me when Al-Kadhimi first came into office.  The first thing he did was arrest a ton of senior officials in Iraq for corruption ...This is good.  The more corruption they clean up out of there the better it is for the people...People stealing the money...This is a great thing for Iraq because the international...trade and other businesses know that Iraq is being serious about cleaning up...and they're more willing to come in and do business with them if this kind of stuff is cleaned up. 

7-8-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  Exchange rates are sensitive information.  They're not going to tell you exactly when it's going to happen, what day it's going happen and how much it's going to happen...

7-8-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  A redenomination is a net-neutral event.  We walk away, didn't make any money.  We probably lose a little bit of money on the exchange process...Anytime you see an article put out by the Central Bank of Iraq talking about deletion of the three zeros, what it really serves to do is educate the citizens of Iraq.  It's not meant to give us a heads up on a revaluation...The more they begin to put out articles like this...as educational campaigns for the citizens of Iraq, I believe that is telling us in a roundabout way that we are getting closer to this event finally happening.  

7-8-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  From the 10th to the 15th we're going to see some amazing things.  But between now and the 10th they seem to be surprising us with a precursor of your monetary reform...It is not one specific thing but a combination of monetary reform events and steps that is about to expose [Iraq's] purchasing power.  When they get to 1300 [market rate] I believe they'll quickly move to 1000 because it'll be easy to remove those three zeros and leave you at 1 to 1 with the dollar.  IMO that 1 to 1 will quickly jump in these [next] two months...

7-8-2026   Newshound Guru Clare   Article:  "J.P. Morgan backs financing for Iraq’s $1.6 billion Basra industrial project" Quote:  "KAR Electrical Power Plant Production Trading FZE (KEPPT) has hired J.P. Morgan to arrange development finance for a $1.6 billion urea plant in Basra, one of Iraq’s biggest private industrial projects...J.P. Morgan’s involvement is a major vote of confidence in Iraq."

7-8-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Anyone who's a smart analytical thinker would be able to use the cabinet completion date to help them identify when the rate is going to change...That's the reason the cabinet date is so secretive, being saved for last and reserved for very short notice...

7-8-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  For 20 years, Iran held a quiet claim on Iraq - not troops, but access: a friendly face in a ministry, a courier across the border, a bank that moved the money and asked nothing. On July 7, three hands cut that claim...Prime minister al-Zaidi sent a classified order barring every Iraqi official, party leader and militia commander from any contact with Iran without government approval, and banning unapproved travel across the border. The same day, US Central Command struck more than 80 Iranian targets...And Scott Bessent's Treasury revoked the oil license that let Iran sell crude for clean dollars...Iran's own currency sits near 1,375,000 rials to the dollar...

7-8-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   What most Iraqis did was they hoarded US dollars...Widespread dollarization has been a major drag on the dinar.  When people start unloading dollars it reduces dollar liquidity pressure.  It supports dinar demand.  This could accelerate dinar appreciation.  This grassroots shift validates the idea that the public is beginning to trust the dinar's future value.  If there was a revaluation on the horizon, wouldn't you want the Iraqi citizens to begin trusting in the dinar before the even happens?  Because it would make the dinar revaluation that much more ease and seamless once the dinar has more value.  They're already starting to trust the dinar over the US dollar.

7-8-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   It's an RI, a reinstatement of $3.22.  After the 10th you're going to start to see the parallel markets - the black market and official market are going to slowly come together.  It will be 1 to 1...Then it goes into a float.  When it hits $3.22 there's your RI.  What happens when it goes past $3.22?  Then it becomes an RV... 

7-8-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   ...you can not give up on this investment in the Iraqi dinar...There is a plan for Iraq and Washington is not going to let it just fade away in to oblivion. There is just too much money to be made by American investors in Iraq when they do realize their full potential. In reaching this ‘full’ potential they will have to revalue the dinar and move back to FOREX. It is forgone conclusion not a speculative idea...The signs of this move to FOREX are all around us...  

7-7-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   I do not care if you own Iraqi dinar or not.  I personally believe the revaluation of the Iraqi dinar will be one of the largest financial events in our lifetime.  If you're holding Iraqi dinar, I believe you have been strategically led to it. 

7-7-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   Even if it takes two or three months, the fact that the knowledge has been conveyed to the citizens of Iraq is important because it must not fail with the citizens of Iraq...Supply and demand is going to cause [the dinar] to gain strength...The [US dollar rate] is going to drop after then 10th and the dinar value is going to go up. 

7-7-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   You got to take the time to choose things wisely, where we go in for exchanges...A lot of banks might keep a 1% amount off the top.  That's a question you got to ask your bank and what you want to negotiate with your bank.  Before you go, find out what their fees are, their spread that they're going to charge you.

7-7-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Western oil majors gave up on Iraq's fields years ago over security and brutal contract terms. Chinese and Russian firms took their place. This weekend Halliburton signed back in, a 5-year deal to run 2 southern fields, days before Iraq's PM flies to Washington.  You do not sign a 5-year oil contract with a country you expect to still have security  concerns or further risk...Al-Zaidi is not flying to the Oval Office to ask, he is flying there as a partner, to lock the deal that open Iraq to American trade and let the dinar fly.

7-7-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Vietnam had been classified as lower-middle income by the World Bank since 2009.  Its new upper-middle-income status exceeds the FTSE minimum threshold more comfortably.  Still on track for the FTSE Russell Emerging Market Status Upgrade, scheduled for Sept 21st, 2026.

7-7-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man   I don’t normally dive deep into the “what to ask the bank” side because every bank’s policies are different, and things can change quickly. Most people get disappointed when they realize the real-world process is nowhere near as simple as the hype makes it sound...Most major U.S. banks do not handle large volumes of Iraqi dinars easily. Many  smaller banks or currency exchanges will only do very small amounts, if any at all. The liquidity for large holdings is extremely limited right now...

7-7-2026   Intel Guru Guy   [Washington D.C. visit]  I believe is scheduled for the 20th of July.  The idea is if he's going to meet with President Trump they want to announce good news.  They want to have some kind of announcement.  It shouldn't just be the usual handshake and photo op.  There's got to be more to it.  I think this is it.  This is the moment we've been waiting for.  

7-7-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   $400 billion US Iraqi energy fund... This is huge...Iraq is openly giving top priority to American conglomerates across the energy, tech and communication sectors.  Iraq is inviting heavyweights like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar to buy into this energy fund as well...Baghdad has mobilized a fast-track committee to lock in a new pipeline agreement with Turkey to secure a massive northern export route...The US-Iraq Energy Fund is worth up to 400 trillion Iraqi dinar... Those of you who say, 'Oh, Iraq's money supply is too big or the revaluation could never to happen,' this deal right here puts that to bed...

7-7-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  It is highly possible [PM Zaidi] will still be able to see Trump on the 15th but it depends on how quickly things are done that are demanded by Trump...Many things will be visible, will be shown to you, between now and whenever Z finally goes to see Trump.  I hope it's still the 15th...

7-7-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  It's real heavy in Iraq about now.  But I'm happy to say the cash has begun to flow.  The money is coming back into Iraq and the Prime Minister is preparing, as we speak, to come to visit Washington.  Yes, he's got to do a little dance but that's because he inherited a mess...And he's doing, IMO, the best that he can going forward. 

7-7-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article: "Diplomatic source: Al-Zaidi wants Iraq's relationship with Iran to be state-to-state, not one involving guards, factions, and special corridors"  Quote:   "...Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi is seeking to end one of the most dangerous areas of ambiguity in the Iraqi state, which is the movement of political and factional leaders between Baghdad and Tehran outside the knowledge of the government...The new measures do not appear to be merely protocol-based, but rather represent an attempt to put an end to a parallel relationship that allowed Tehran to communicate directly with its allies inside Iraq..."

7-7-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Community Comment: "When the PM goes to Washington this Wednesday..."    No the PM is not going to Washington this Wednesday.  He's going there on the 15th.  

7-7-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   On July 10, 3 days out, the ASYCUDA customs system goes mandatory at every border and the paper trail dies. Egypt closed its own currency gap the same way in 2016. In roughly 8 days, Prime Minister al-Zaidi flies to Washington with a delegation of Iraqi business owners, carrying an IMF-shaped 2027 budget and a fresh American energy deal.

7-7-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   An interesting article came out on Saturday.  What it said was Iraqi citizens are now exchanging their US dollars for Iraqi dinar because the dinar is strengthening.  If you've been involved in this investment for many years like I have, this has never happened.  The Iraqi citizens always want US dollars, preferred over Iraqi dinar because the Iraq dinar never had as much value as the US dollar...The fact they are now exchanging their US dollars for Iraqi dinar is a very telling sign.  It means there is an organic and grassroots event happening in the country of Iraq.  To me it looks like it is a precursor to some type of other major significant event happening, that we are all hoping and waiting for.

7-7-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  [The market rate] is going to be a movement IMO on a daily basis.  It may be pip movements.  It may be increments.  It may be small growth...

7-7-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]   If you have Dinar...the contract rate on the dinar...is extremely high -  almost unfathomable, but it was something President set up for us in his first term.

7-7-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Article:  “CENTRAL BANK OF IRAQ: REINTEGRATION OF DOLLAR-DENOMINATED BANKS IS IN ITS FINAL STAGES”  Quote:  "...it continues to implement its reform program in coordination with the relevant international institutions, with the aim of strengthening monetary and financial stability, developing the banking sector and raising its level of integration into the global financial system."

7-6-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   Even if you don't know how to protect your wealth.  Even if you don't know what asset protection structures to use, the most important thing you could do the moment the revaluation is announced is at least have some type of game plan when you go to the bank.  Know what questions you're going to ask.  Make sure you know how to negotiate the rate, which you just have to ask a few question to do that.  Make sure you're meeting with the right people at the bank.  You're not just going to be dealing with a teller...There's a protocol you're going to want to follow to maximize what you walk away with because we're talking possibly, not just thousands, not just tens of thousands, it could be hundreds of thousands if not million of dollars in the long term if you structure things...upfront.  

7-6-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   Boy oh boy these are exciting times.  We are seeing some of the most amazing steps of the monetary reform.  We're witnessing history.  Epic, epic epic histories that will be forever remembered...

7-6-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Question: "Why do you feel the rate has to change before Prime Minister Zaidi meets with DJT?"  He's going there with 100 businessmen for business.  You can't go there with business at a currency value of 1310.  There's your basic answer.  There's a lot more to it than that though.

7-6-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  In 2025 the prime minister's financial advisor placed Iraq's untapped mineral and energy wealth at $16 trillion ranking the country 9th globally for natural resource wealth...Oil reserves 5th largest in the world, the largest sulfur reserves, phosphate 2nd only to Morocco, plus gas, copper and rare earth occurrences still under explored.  Pre-event planning for post event deployment - prepare accordingly. 

7-6-2026   Newshound Guru Clare   Article:  "The Prime Minister told an American journalist: American companies will be given priority in investment" Quote: "500,000 barrels per day of Iraqi oil will go toward replenishing the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). He added, Iraq will consider suspending its OPEC membership if it is prevented from producing according to its capacity,"

7-6-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  The anti-corruption push, the digital rollout, institutional alignment and non-oil revenues are all moving in the same direction.  This creates...conditions for a prudent step on the currency side with the gatekeepers and the CBI when they decide the moment is right.

7-6-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   Article:  "Iraqi PM faces backlash from political parties over his bold anti-corruption drive"  Many people are saying the new Iraqi Prime Minister is dancing to the music of the United States...The United States has been withholding Iraq's cash since the end of February... When the US is holding Iraq's cash hostage...you tend to do what the US is  recommending, especially when you know in your heart that is the best thing for your country.  We are hoping the Iraqi people will continue to support the Iraqi Prime Minister.

7-6-2026   Boot-On-The-Ground Guru Omar  Zaidi comes out and he tells us Qaani gets permanent banned from Iraq.  Iraq declared Iran's Quds Force Commander persona non grata.  That's the same position Soleimani held...This is the first time in modern Iraqi history that they've slapped a full diplomatic ban on Iran's top military operator.

7-6-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  Iraq is aggressively signing multi-billion dollar energy, infrastructure and trade deals with global conglomerates and Western powers. International corporations do not invest billions into a country unless they expect a stable, highly valuable local currency to facilitate trade...Just as Kuwait needed a high valued dinar to fund its reconstruction, Iraq requires a revalued or reinstated economically viable currency to fully integrate into the global financial system and move away from a cash reliant dollarized economy...

7-6-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   We are still waiting for the formation of [Zaidi's] government, whether it's before or after Zaidi goes to see Trump...We are also focused to see the Iraqi dinar start to gain in value after the 10th.  It'll be a slow climb, very slowly every day.

7-6-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   I wouldn't worry about referencing Forex [with the bank when the rate change happens].  Just call your bank and ask them when they'll be ready.  They'll be ready roughly 3 days after the rate changes, approximately around a Wednesday.  Because the rate will change on what is their Sunday morning.  That's just how that works. 

7-6-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Basra Oil Company signed Halliburton to a 5-year deal on the Bin Omar and Sindbad fields, targeting up to 250,000 more barrels a day and handing upstream work to American hands instead of Chinese, Russian and European firms.  A US energy major signing days before al-Zaidi boards the plane is a signal the White House will read.

7-6-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article:  "French report: Baghdad informs Tehran that Qaani is considered persona non grata"  Quote: "Radio Monte Carlo reported , in a report followed by (Al-Mada), that the Iraqi authorities officially informed Iran that Quds Force commander Ismail Qaani is considered persona non grata on Iraqi soil...These measures come ahead of Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi’s anticipated visit to Washington"

7-6-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  You should be using this time right now to start preparing, start thinking about banks you want to go to, start getting your plans laid out because if it does happen in the next few weeks or next month or next few months you want to be prepared.

7-6-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   I don't care if it's a month or 2 months or even 3 months away.  It's already here IMO and that's why it's being explained and laid out to you [Iraqi citizens].  If it was not here, you wouldn't hear a single word about this on your media...Instead they would continue to keep you in the dark and they would never answer your questions.  You have the answers to every question that you sent to the CBI.  They've answered all of them concerning your monetary reform.  Right now it does exist.  It is alive now.  But I will admit it is a process and we are about to see it unfold. 

7-6-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Community Comment:  "...I read information that international banking laws dictate that if a 25k note is reduced to a 25 note in Iraq then ALL 25k notes anywhere in the world are also treated as 25 notes. That would really burst the bubble of all of us investors."   We were told a decade ago these notes we have outside would be collected and used in inter-banking transfers for very large purchases and would remain valid notes...We will go to the bank and exchange for the currency of our country.  The next FOREX rate will apply. I.E. 25,000 note x $4.80 = $120,000 USD @ a rate for US as $4.80 per dinar. Why do you think they are waiting so long for FOREX? There is a plan for the middle east and they will use the IRAQI dinar as a hinge Pin for the other currencies in the middle east. There will be a new basket of currencies. Now if they were going to just do what you said why would they be waiting so long? Why not just do it now, as there is plenty of value now to go 1:1 with the US dollar?  

7-6-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   We were under the understanding that we would have this by or before the 4th of July... but the latest information we're getting is telling us that Tier 4b that's us, the Internet Group, should be looking for our  notifications...by text or email...between the fifth and the eighth...how to call and set your appointments, that should be in a text message or in an email, or both...also to have start exchanging within that period of time...That's what we've heard from very, very high up...I know based on where we are now that things are moving in the right direction for us...

7-5-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  Kuwait has the strongest currency in the world.  Not the top 10.  Not the top 5.  Not the top 3.  Iraq's literal neighbor, Kuwait, has the strongest currency value in the world. 

7-5-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Iraq's central bank formally joined the anti-corruption campaign...between the bank and the prosecutors. The governor ran the bank's anti-money-laundering office before taking the chair, and that office holds the file on every suspicious transaction in Iraq's banking system ...The prime minister's senior legal advisor put stolen public funds since 2003 above 2 trillion dollars, 6 times the old official benchmark, and confirmed the trials will be public...The prime minister reportedly planned the arrest operation in secret with a closed circle of officers and never told the bloc that nominated him. They were not overruled. They were never asked.

7-5-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   The thing that happened today is the Iraqi citizens know the truth about the monetary reform.  That's why they are trading in their American dollars that they found so valuable for so many decades in order to survive.  Iraqi citizens are now turning them in for worthless program sanctioned 1300 value 3-zero notes?  It's very obvious why.  The monetary reform education worked...Iraqi citizens, along with the world...knows what's about to happen.  It's no secret.  [Reference Guru Clare's 7-5-2026 post below]

7-5-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  I've heard people saying they're talking to currency exchange centers or, I hate to use this word because I think it's a load of crap, these 'redemption centers' that are going to open up specifically for dinar holders. You might have to send your dinar to these people.  If you fall for it, shame on you...Go to your local bank...make sure they can verify it on site... You're going to go to that bank and you're going to exchange.  [Dinar Guru Note:  Consult your financial and asset protection professionals at the appropriate time to determine the best exchange strategy for your unique circumstances.]
 
7-5-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   On March 6, 1933 every bank in the United States went dark.  Franklin Roosevelt had been president for two days.  Americans had spent three years pulling savings out of banks they no longer believed in...So Roosevelt shut all of it down for the better part of week...Behind closed doors examiners went through the books and split every bank in America into two types.  Sound enough to reopen or finished.  Thousands were never licensed to open again.  When the doors reopened, the money flooded in...Within two weeks nearly half the cash Americans had hoarded was back on deposit... Within a year...Washington repriced the metal the dollar stood on...gold from $20.67 to $35 an ounce...Cleanse and filter the system first.  Reprice the money second.  Iraq is running the same sequence right now...

7-5-2026   Intel Guru Frank26    My [Iraqi] friends who were desperately looking for American dollars...to buy just to survive are now willing to trade in those same American dollars.  It was an overnight kind of a thing...This whole monetary reform is dynamic.  It's fluid.  It's constantly evolving...Iraqi citizens are now willing to turn in their dollars...to get the three zero notes back.  Knowledge is powerful...They know they're going to turn them in and they're going to get purchasing power through the lower notes. [Reference Guru Clare's 7-5-2026 post below]

7-5-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article: "Dinar Surges Against Dollar as Kurdistan Traders Predict Further Parallel Market Drops"  Quote: "The Iraqi dinar gained ground against the US dollar, with the parallel market rate strengthening to 154,250 dinars per $100 after coming down from a high of 157,000 dinars last week...Local currency traders attribute the market shift directly to stabilization assurances issued by the Central Bank...citizens are reversing previous trends by selling U.S. dollars for Iraqi dinars."

7-5-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   S&P Global Ratings recently affirmed Iraq's stable economic ratings specifically because of their massive reserves.  Their massive asset pool means the current exchange rate, which is 1310 per US dollar is an artificially depressed placeholder.  When the currency structure shift, their enormous value of cash and gold provides the physical backing needed to support a highly valued and reinstated dinar.

7-5-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  I believe we are closer than ever for the dinar to get reinstated. But first things first...certain laws in Iraq must be passed. Certainly, reviving the economy to at least 45%-50% non-oil revenues could make a huge difference for Iraq and the IMF.  [Dinar Guru Note:  See the Dinar Gurus' Official Master List of Possible Major " To Do's " in the left column of this page.]

7-5-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ  [via Patrick DaCosta]  guests...Mr. [Mike] Cottrell and Wade Holder, the discussion focused on the “rollercoaster” of timing regarding the Revaluation (RV). While there is significant debate among sources—some pointing to a July release and others suggesting a September timeline to coincide with troop withdrawals from Iraq--the consensus remains that a massive “clean-up” operation is underway. The intel highlights significant progress in Iraq, where Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi has reportedly led an anti-corruption crackdown resulting in the recovery of 3 quadrillion dinars from corrupt officials. There are also reports that Iraqi funds previously frozen by the Federal Reserve have been released, sparking speculation that the Dinar rate is being digitally adjusted behind the scenes...the general sentiment remains optimistic, with many looking toward the 250th anniversary of the United States as a symbolic window for these historic changes to fully manifest.

7-4-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  I'd like to see they have...the cabinet set before they go to Washington.  I'd like to see the HCL before they come to Washington.  And then I'd like for them to come home and make a big show with the GCC and potentially have a relationship with the Real Effective Exchange Rate for global trade...The data shows powerful things are happening.

7-4-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   A currency earns trust by demonstration and demonstrations need witnesses, public trials, a published theft number, seize tally numbers updated daily, a bank that hunts the smugglers instead of processing them.  Every piece of this week was arranged to be seen by Iraqis, by Washington and by the markets that will eventually be asked to price the results.  The audience is the point.

7-4-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Question:  "Do we need receipts from the dinar purchased ?"  For your taxes, you might.  That would be the only reason you need them.  You don't need it to exchange.

7-4-2026   Intel Guru Guy  People might say, how can the RV happen amidst all of this turmoil [in the Middle East]?  Well actually this is an opportunity because Iraq has not been attacked by anybody. That's the key point. Iraq has been playing it smart.  They're right on the border.  Iraq is right in between Iran and the whole rest of the Middle East and all the oil producers.  This is their opportunity and they know it.  This new prime minister sees his chance.  I think he will seize the opportunity...All indications are he...wants his people to have purchasing power.  He wants them to be able to fulfill their business dreams, goals...this is his chance to do it...

7-4-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  I hope you are excited.  This is so blatantly in front of our face obvious.  We have all of this amazing news coming out of Iraq right now.  We have the Prime Minister going to Washington in the next few weeks. He is finalizing his entire cabinet being seated.  They're going after all the criminals and all the politicians who have been stealing from the country of Iraq over the last 23 years.  They're recovering trillions of dinar.  I don't know what to tell you if you're not positive right now or if you still don't believe in this investment. 

7-4-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat    Another issue that came forth... was about the intentional devaluation of the Iraq dinar as they talked about increasing the value of the dollar in Iraq, which we all should know by now would undermind the dinar and thus cause a devaluation of it.  So, did the CBI really devalue the dinar by announcing a new official rate of around 1650 from 1320 as many economists told us would happen?  Or was is it all just speculation and rumors?  Article:  “THE GOVERNMENT SETTLES THE DEBATE OVER THE DOLLAR EXCHANGE RATE.”  Quote:  “there is no intention to raise the exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar,”  ...In an article...we learn from the CBI that it DID NOT devalue the dinar and thus did not change the official rate. 

7-4-2026   Intel Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]   Lots of back and forth on timing from sources. The majority of sources believe that we go sometime in the month of July. 

7-3-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Question:  "Any thoughts on the time-frame we'll have to exchange currency after the rate revaluation/reinstatement?"  Roughly 90 days.  In the past when they phased out the 50 dinar note, they gave 90 days on that to turn the old notes in.  And back in 2003 when they released the new notes, they gave a 90-day period to turn in the old Saddam notes and get the brand new notes that we have today.

7-3-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   A lot of us aren't going to have to pay any fees.  That's what I believe based on how much dinar you hold.  Because you have leverage with your bank.  A bank is a business.  They make money by lending out your money.  That's what it comes down to...

7-3-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  This is a process.  The process should show us the formation of the government very very soon, hopefully by the 5th.  Then by the 10th we're going to look at the exchange rate very closely hour by hour, day by day to see what is happening in [the next] two months because if we have a slight increase in your currency then that is the indication that you're on your way because the supply and demand...will cause a friction.  The financial friction...is going to drive the rate from 1300...to 1 to 1 with the American dollar.  Then they can go into an International basket in a float to reach the real effective exchange rate.

7-3-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  What we're seeing is real change.  It's been building.  It's been building out better than I've ever seen in my life in the dinar...I still talk about what I believe in because I know what I own.  It's building out in our favor.  

7-3-2026   Boot-On-The-Ground Guru Omar  Prime Minister's legal advisor...said the looted funds have exceeded $2 trillion and public trials are anticipated for the corrupt defendants...They are telling us [$2 trillion] equals 3 quadrillion Iraqi dinars to date have been stolen.

7-3-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  You are not going to believe what the news is saying...Two trillion dollars gone.  What you are about to hear is almost impossible to believe.  An Iraqi government legal advisor has publicly claimed more than 2 trillion US dollars has been stolen from Iraq since 2003...Investigators are carrying out daily raids and arrests...Suspects have confessed, leading authorities to more people.   The investigation reportedly includes current and former senior government officials and members of parliament...Some suspects own dozens of properties and accumulated wealth that investigators say cannot be explained.  Public corruption trials are expected to follow.  If these allegations prove true, this could become one of the largest corruption scandals in modern history...

7-3-2026   Guest Guru Ariel   The recent technical agreement between Baghdad and the KRG on ASYCUDA (Automated System for Customs Data) is a big quiet win for the sovereignty play...As of mid-2026, it’s unifying customs across federal and Kurdish borders, automating declarations, cutting smuggling windows, and forcing electronic payments...The full rollout across border crossings is accelerating. Pre-arrival declarations started late 2025, and the system is now biting into real-time tracking for oil, goods, and currency flows... This directly supports the cashless push by early July...

7-3-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  It is going to happen and it is in the plan for Iraq and part of the bigger RESET picture.  These larger notes we hold are going to stay legal tender and used for inter-banking transactions of large amounts, when cash is needed. The CBI told us this many times.
7-2-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Back in 1991 Kuwait's economy was wrecked, oil fields on fire, infrastructure ruined yet the Kuwaiti dinar moved from about 30 cents to roughly $3.47 during the conflict while the country was still smoldering...People insist currency rates do not move like that then go quiet when you mention Kuwait.  History records the mechanism plainly for anyone who looks.

7-2-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Community Comment:  "The country [of Iraq] doesn't have OFAC sanctions."  You're incorrect...You can't go to the traditional banks like Wells Fargo and none of them to exchange dinar.  And you know what that tells you?  That tells you Iraq is under OFAC sanctions against them.  Otherwise our traditional banks would be exchanging the dinar.

7-2-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article:  "The New York Times: The US administration has resumed transferring oil revenues to Iraq"  Quote: "The New York Times revealed that the White House administration has resumed sending Iraqi oil revenues to Baghdad, following Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi’s campaign against those involved in financial corruption cases."

7-2-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  You got to be prepared.  Those who prepare are going to be in a much better position and you are going to be wealthy long term...Most people are going to be rich for a few years and then [broke]. They didn't invest wisely, they didn't protect their assets properly, they didn't know how to steward that money...Most people probably have 500,000 dinar or more...Every dollar counts...Be wise.  Be proactive...have a plan in place because it's going to take a lot of that stress, a lot of that anxiety off.  I promise you, when the dinar revaluation happens, you're not going to be running around with your hair on fire saying, 'Oh my gosh, what do I do now?'  That excitement of the revaluation is going to turn very quickly into stress and fear...

7-2-2026   Intel Guru Guy    You're not going to be going up...and talking to a bank teller.  You're going go to the branch manager and ask for the wealth manager that covers the geographic area where you are, your location.  Usually banks assign a wealth manager to cover 5, 6 or 10 branches in a regional area.  You want to talk to the wealth manager.  You're going to go to him and...tell them 'I don't want to pay any transaction fee.  I just want you to make profit on the spread.'  The spread is the difference between what the central bank says the rate is and what Citibank says or Chase or Wells Fargo, whoever it is.

7-2-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  You do not jail your own parliament, count the cash on a public ledger, and fly to the White House in the same fortnight by accident.  Every thread points at one week. Parliament returns... the last cabinet seats are filled by July 5, and a cleaned government flies to Washington right behind them. The meeting is what finally moves the oil revenue law buried for 19 years, and the budget that follows is the one that can let the dinar move toward what it has always been worth.

7-2-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Question:   "Why is it favorable for Iraq to set the rate above Kuwait?"  It's not that it's favorable...You've got to study history sometimes.  If historically Iraq's always been above Kuwait by a small amount...Kuwait today is around $3.26 and it's probably going to be a little bit above there.  That's a fair and reasonable guess...The country of Iraq has more wealth...minerals...resources and a whole lot more oil than Kuwait does.  That's why they're worth more money than Kuwait...They always were historically.

7-2-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   What is Iraq's banking reform? ...do you think it's to introduce new coins?  Do you think it's to introduce a new exchange rate?  I think the banking reform is to add value to their currency before they can do anything else.  Why come out with coins, why come out with lower notes, when you don't have a new rate for them?  Why come out with propaganda  information, knowledge about monetary reform of many other countries around them?  

7-2-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  Article: "ADVISOR MUNIR HADDAD : THE FUNDS LOOTED SINCE 2003 EXCEED TWO TRILLION DOLLARS, AND THE TRIALS OF THE CORRUPT WILL BE PUBLIC" ...There is no doubt this is a wowzer!! This is flat out a huge escalation in the anti-corruption push — both in scale and visibility. Putting an official $2+ trillion figure on the stolen money, promising public trials, and vowing no red lines or timelines shows real seriousness from the top. This builds enormous momentum and credibility right ahead of the Washington visit on the 17th...Amazing!

7-2-2026   Newshound Guru Samson  Article:  "ADVISOR MUNIR HADDAD : THE FUNDS LOOTED SINCE 2003 EXCEED TWO TRILLION DOLLARS, AND THE TRIALS OF THE CORRUPT WILL BE PUBLIC"

7-2-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Iraqi-press channels report the Coordination Framework, the Iran-aligned bloc...privately asked Prime Minister al-Zaidi to halt the arrests and settle the cases for cash. The arrests continued, the judiciary refused the settlements...The parliament speaker lifted the immunity of the arrested lawmakers himself and declared there is no immunity for the corrupt...There is a precedent for where this leads... Saudi Arabia locked its princes in the Ritz-Carlton in 2017, took 107 billion dollars in settlements, and let the men walk.  Iraq just refused that exact deal.

7-2-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   It cannot be more than a tight narrow managed float...It won't float when the rate changes because their budgets are calculated off the currency value.  If it had a significant float and the currency has a significant value change, that means the budget is completely miscalculated.  So every time the rate changes, they would have to redraft and amend the budget's figures.  They're not going to do that.  That's why it's a narrow managed float in a tight window.

7-2-2026   Guest Guru Ariel   The Broader Summer Window – Now to July 17th...This is the grind paying off. The frustration is real as we all have been waiting to get to where we are for a good while now. Im just glad that things are speeding up... 

7-2-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  ...The basic plan to get to the reinstatement comes directly from a 2011 conference held during Dr Shabibi’s time as the director of the CBI with the US treasury, the World Bank and the IMF. We already have witnessed many pieces to the plan executed, so hang in a bit longer you won’t regret it. Yes, the plan has changed a bit, but Iraq must adapt as this is taking so long and technology changes over time.  

7-2-2026   Guest Guru Judy Byington   No one knows the exact date for notification of appointments for Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) to exchange foreign currencies, but deadlines shown...indicate it to be very soon.

7-1-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Community Comment: "My kids are seriously ashamed of me :)"  All of our kids are ashamed of us.  It's just the way it works.  Even some of our spouses laugh at us and think we're crazy and insane.  We have friends, family, kids, even co-workers that think we're nuts.  We're all kinds of crazy in so many ways from this but you know what?  When it's done, we're the ones that get a laugh at them. 

7-1-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  You have been told for years the dinar is a scam. A dead currency in a broken country.  Iraq's corrupt political class hoarded it anyway, because they knew it would be worth far more in time...This week Al-Zaidi locked the corrupt out of the trade. Permanently.  You held the line on faith. You were never the fool for believing in this.  Keep the faith.

7-1-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article: "A global team begins the process of liberating the Iraqi banking sector from 'isolation,' starting from Kurdistan" Quote: "the team also includes a number of prominent figures, such as Grigory Gatianis, former Deputy Director of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)...The presence of this strong team of experts from the US Treasury Department and international institutions will open new horizons for the Iraqi banking sector and free it from the financial isolation it has suffered for years." 

7-1-2026   Newshound Guru Pimpy  What is ASYCUDA?  It is a comprehensive computerized customs management system developed by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development...This is good for Iraq because...this helps streamline everything and make it easier to do business.  It also reduces the amount of corruption involved...People are excited.  And that is exciting news...Of course [the dinar exchange rate] is going to go up because you're stream-lining your customs services...trades...making business easier ...reducing the amount of corruption that's out there.  When they say 'rise the value of the Iraqi dinar', it's not going to rise overnight up to this unbelievable exchange rate...It could be a couple hundred [dinar].  We don't know...This kind of stuff is exciting to hear...They are creating a stronger Iraqi dinar... 

7-1-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   The Iraqi dinar is being ushered through a stampede because of Trump, into an area of profitability...Don't expect on July the 1st to see the rate, boom just like that.  But if we do, then fall on your knees and praise God...Nothing is solid.  It's dynamic.  Ka-ka happens...On July the 1st things are going to happen because on July 15th, Z's got to come and talk to Trump.  If Z comes to Trump empty handed... [not good]. 

7-1-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   If Iraq was sanction free US banks would be exchanging/trading their currency.  They don't because [Iraq] is under US sanctions.  So, no they're not sanction free.  You can easily gauge it by whether US banks exchange Iraq's money or not.  The major banks will not exchange Iraq's currency while they're under US Treasury OFAC sanctions...

7-1-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   The arrests that locked down Baghdad's Green Zone are the opening move...The recovery keeps climbing. Investigators have pulled more than 107 million dollars from the oil-ministry case alone, including $14 million found inside the walls of one deputy minister's home, plus properties, vehicles and gold. A separate case at the national airline added another 19 billion dinars. The list of names under investigation grows with every interrogation.

7-1-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man   We're seeing one of the most visible and high-profile wave of anti-corruption actions in recent years...On June 28th security forces carried out coordinated raids that resulted in the arrest of dozens of officials and sitting MPs with reports confirming at least 47 individuals detained in the initial sweep...  Everybody's onboard with this.  That's really powerful.  I don't think we've ever seen anything like it...All of this is landing right as the cabinet is nearing completion and just weeks before high-stakes Washington visit...They want to show up in Washington with all the credibility they can manage.

7-1-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   They're saying this is a new day for Iraq.   The way things have been going for almost 30 years, it's no longer going to continue that way...I want to be very careful...Even though things are as positive and exciting as I have ever seen them before, we have to remain grounded and let things play out.  I don't know if the Iraqi dinar is going to revalue before [PM Zaidi's] visit to [D.C.]...Could it happen?  Of course it could happen.  But we just have to remain grounded and let things play out and see what happens...Things are looking extremely good right now...

7-1-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article:  "Iraq Announces Shift to Market Economy, Vows Complete Sovereign Monopoly on Force"  Quote:  "Al-Zaidi announced an upcoming 'National Sovereignty Conference' slated for the end of this year, which will codify the state's exclusive monopoly on violence. Concurrently, he signaled a hard economic break from Iraq's socialist past, declaring an end to International Monetary Fund (IMF) borrowing and a push to revise the country's OPEC oil production quotas.

7-1-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   The rate change is not waiting for the Clarity Act.  The Clarity Act is waiting for the rate to change.  That's why the hell it's taking so long. 

7-1-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   Iraq's parliament came back from recess today, and Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi now has about two weeks to finish building his government and finish cleaning it out before he flies to Washington ...Parliament seats the final ministers by July 5.  A cleaned government flies to Washington mid-July. The reprice everyone is waiting on sits at the end of that sequence...Watch what Iraq does before Washington...

7-1-2026   Guest Guru Ariel   Here Is What You Need To Know... Once redenomination happens (removing the three zeros) and the currency gains real usability, the path to floating on international forex platforms becomes viable. This isn’t about wild volatility or casino-style trading. It’s about controlled, monitored entry into global exchange mechanisms where supply, demand, and real economic fundamentals drive value instead of fixed auctions and political whims.

7-1-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   ...my CBI contact has already told me once the SECURITY situation is taken care of, her committee has plans to roll out the lower denominations and move ahead again...the good news is they are still planning it and always moving ahead...There is a said deadline to disarm ALL the militias and arrest or deport the factions. This deadline is September 2026. Will it take this long? What we do know for a FACT is al-Zaidi is expected to present his plan to President Trump during his visit to Washington in mid-July.

6-30-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  We're not giving dates.  We're not giving rates. I have no idea when the revaluation is going to happen, if it's going to happen at all.  But I believe it's not a matter of if but when.  And I believe we all have a front row seat to seeing all of these dominoes fall into place.  

6-30-2026  Newshound Guru Jeff  You're going to exchange your currency at a bank, at a currency broker...Banks, brokers, they're going to be open when the rate changes...  

6-30-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Look past the charge sheet and Sunday was about something rarer than theft, it was about the end of being untouchable.  For 20 years a whole class of people in Baghdad lived above the law...That certainty was the trap...It kept them in plain site on the payroll, in contracts, on every deed they signed...Baghdad was 1 room in a house that  spans the globe.  In the same few days the US Treasury moved three more - A scam empire in Cambodia, mineral smugglers bleeding the  Congo, the money behind Sudan's war...For decades these networks were treated as...too big and too connected to touch.  This week they're being pulled down across a string of countries at once...It's the rules of the old world being rewritten.  In Iraq every threat at this point is one date...Washington.  

6-30-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  The protective messaging and careful language we've been seeing around exchange rate issues have served to manage expectations while the underlying architecture is strengthened.  The "hush" has not meant inaction.  They quietly do things behind the scenes.  It's not meant for every single person.  You have to be able to pay attention and grasp the totality of what those things mean...I think we're going to be pretty darn close to being what reality is...The hush has meant  focused preparation away from public noise. They don't need to tell everybody everything to bring on chaos, get people over- reactive.  

6-30-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  I'm still waiting for the CBI to give up the new exchange rate so we can see it on July 1st.  What if the CBI doesn't give the new exchange rate on July 1st?  Does that mean it's the end of the world?  Does that mean we are all screwed?  Does that mean there is no exchange rate coming?  Does that mean there is no value going to be added to the Iraq dinar?  No...It is a process...You can't have everything so acute.  I feel fantastic.  I feel great about where we're at.​

6-30-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  Someone...reached out to me last week.  He was telling me he had a conversation with his branch manager at Chase.  He was asking them if they verified currency on site.  He goes, no, we don't at this branch.  We might need to send it off.  And I go, no, no, no, no, no.  You don't send your money, your dinar anywhere.  You don't let it out of your sight...You're not going to be putting your currency in a paper envelope and trust that it's going to get to its location because that could be a multi-million dollar mistake.  There's no reversing that mistake...

6-30-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Trump could not do any more than Bill Clinton did.  Remember when Kuwait reinstated, that's how Bill Clinton came into his surplus of revenue.  That's the most that Bill Clinton was allowed to legally tell you.  Trump cannot come out saying that he made or helped Iraq revalue the currency.  He can't...The most that Trump can do is play the Bill Clinton card and say he went from a budget deficit to a surplus.  That's the most that Trump can say. 

6-30-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   This is a once-in-a-lifetime, generational opportunity. The windfall itself is the easy part. The hard part is what you do with it - the jurisdiction you pick, the structure you hold it in, the bank it lands in, the tax you do or do not pay. Get those right and the windfall compounds for the rest of your life. Get them wrong and you hand a large part of it straight back...Every week the questions get sharper and the stakes get more personal. That is not a coincidence. It is what happens when a date most people treated as theoretical starts to feel close...

6-30-2026   Intel Guru Guy  With the new prime minister choosing a new central bank governor and arresting people who are being caught with billions of dinars and gold and other assets in their homes they're going though their own little DOGE moment... uncovering waste, fraud and abuse...We're now having that in Iraq.  These are all good signs.  There's signs that their government wants to be accountable to the people, want to be accepted on the world stage and make amends for the past...

6-30-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  When you look at all the corruption and all of these government officials that were arrested in the last 24 hours it makes sense as to why nothing ever happened over the last 23 years.  Because they were just taking money.  Why would they want this scheme to end?  They're taking money off the top.  I read a report this morning.  So far they have confiscated 900 billion dinar.  Almost 1 trillion dinar...That is a lot of money.  I'm looking at all the articles coming out and all the photos of...all the cash.  I'm like why would all these government officials be hoarding billions of dinar?... Maybe they knew something was coming down the line where they were getting ready for it too. 

6-30-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  There have been in the past 10 years one or two points where they've been close to revaluing but didn't.  The reason why they couldn't?  They have too much political instability and corruption.  They couldn't get it done.  Where we're at right here, with the current government administration, we are witnessing the most overall steps getting completed than ever before in Iraq's history.

6-30-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   Iraq quietly opened a dedicated state account to count the cash it is pulling out of the walls and the holes and the offshore accounts of its own political class...Investigators have now recovered over $107 million tied to the oil-ministry case alone, including 98 billion dinars and $11 million in cash, plus 70 properties, 21 vehicles and gold... Close to 1,000 officials are now under investigation. This is not a raid. It is an audit of an entire political class...You have been told for years the dinar is a scam. The people who hoarded it knew better.

6-30-2026   Intel/Newshound  Guru MarkZ    The great corruption roundup in Iraq's Green Zone, ASYCUDA, and Iranian conflict fallout. This should make for an interesting week!

I believe we are closer than ever for the dinar to get reinstated...  

6-30-2026   Newshound Guru Ross  With the new PM’s focus on the economy in partnership with the White House, Iraq will soon be open for business. You are literally watching this finally happen in real-time...IQD RV stage is set.

6-29-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  We have some big big exciting things happening in the country of Iraq, things I have never seen before.  They have gotten more done in the last 3 months than I have seen in all 15 years combined that I've been invested...Article:  "Iraqi dinar will rise once Erbil and Baghdad finalize the ASYCUDA agreement"  They're not even hiding it anymore.  They're putting it at the forefront of the news...

6-29-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   The only way the United States and Iraq can transition from a military to a new economic partnership is for Iraq to be sovereign, have no restrictions, no sanctions on them and be back on the international stage.  Iraq has to be positioned in a new economic situation that allows them to have a new economic partnership...

6-29-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Within two weeks al-Zaidi flies to Washington to meet President Trump, and he means to land with a finished government. A clean house is the price of the meeting. The meeting is what finally moves the oil revenue law buried for 19 years, and the budget that follows is the one that can let the dinar move toward what it has always been worth.

6-29-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article:  "Trump renews executive order protecting Iraqi oil revenues and informs Congress of continued state of emergency" Quote:  "US President Donald Trump renewed the executive order that provides for continued legal protection of Iraqi oil revenues and related assets under the national emergency declaration concerning Iraq, which is administered through mechanisms that include the Federal Reserve Bank of New York."

6-29-2026   Guest Guru Terrence   [Central Bank/International Bank Regulator] I think in the coming years, once the revaluation takes place, you're going to see a lot of surprising things coming to Iraq.  As many investors understand, the time to invest is not when everyone's euphoric saying, 'Oh, wow, look at this.  Let's get in.'   No, the time to get in is when no one's really talking about it.  I would say from an investment perspective you're probably quietly seeing the capital moving into the country now and it all starts with the banking system.  The new prime minister is a former banker.  Once he got confirmed as prime minister one of the first things he did was meet with the CBI.

6-29-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   The ASYCUDA implementation has put the monetary reform in a position where the Iraqi dinar value is about to start to go up and you're going to witness it and see it...It's reach what you're looking for...It's a process.  Don't be looking something, boom.  Look for something gradual...It might not be like water pouring.  It'll be more like ketchup  pouring... Both water and ketchup that will pour will be visible.

6-29-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  Anti-corruption crackdown reaches sitting parliamentarians with immunity lifts and major arrests.  In the last 72 hours we've seen one of the most visible and high-profile waves of anti-corruption action in recent years with...arrests of multiple MPs and officials...up to 64 individuals detained in coordinated raids including at least 5 to 13 sitting members of parliament whose immunity was formally lifted.  This operation stems directly from confessions by the former deputy of oil minister and has included prominent names such as Aliyia Nasif.  I think she got nailed with a lot of cash...It's about time. 

6-29-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  Iraq conducted a huge, huge sting operation in the Green Zone in Baghdad.  This is probably one of the biggest take-downs of corrupt officials since we took down Saddam Hussein. That's how big this was.  This happened overnight while we were all sleeping here in the States...I tell you what, I'm so impressed with the new prime minister.  I was a little iffy in the beginning but now this guy is proving that he was the right guy for the job...This is like us waking up here in the States and hearing a bunch of senators were arrested overnight...All these powerful government officials in Iraq will now be put on trial... 

6-29-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Article: "Iraqi Prime Minister Zaidi Promises to Complete Cabinet Within Two Weeks"  That means before he comes here.  It means the news is scripted and it means it's a damn lynch pin to the scheduled rate change date.

6-29-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence    Before dawn on Sunday, Iraq's prime minister sent the counter-terror force built to fight ISIS into Baghdad's Green Zone and arrested 47 of the country's own political class. Among them was the vice-chair of parliament's integrity committee, the very body meant to police corruption...For two decades these were the untouchables of Iraqi politics, protected by an immunity that had always held. On Sunday it did not. The figures named as the ones who kept the banking  reforms and the oil revenue law from passing for years were taken in the same sweep.

If you proclaimed that this would never happen...People get frustrated because they want the lottery ticket tomorrow, but this is structural surgery on a patient that was bleeding out for decades. Starlink gives the connectivity so remote oil fields and  ministries can’t hide transactions. The AML Governor enforces it.   HCL stabilizes the revenue backbone.

6-29-2026   Newshound Guru Ross  Quote:  "Iraq is reportedly weighing a proposal to exceed OPEC production limits to offset revenue losses caused by the regional war with Iran. Sources say if OPEC rejects Iraq's request for a higher quota, Baghdad may follow the UAE and withdraw from the organization to freely increase output. A decision could come after Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi's planned Washington visit in mid-July."  PM Al-Zaidi’s mid-July White House visit just raised the stakes.  ...One of the most  important prerequisites for Iraq’s economic stability — and the revaluation of the IQD — is unfolding right now...Either OPEC allows Iraq to produce what it can and prosper…or Iraq walks...if Iraq leaves OPEC, instant budget surplus, stability, salaries paid, etc. 90% of their budget is oil. ...We are in a lightning-speed prerequisite knock-out phase for the revaluation of the Iraqi Dinar...

6-28-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   If you're emotional or you have anxiety this [dinar RV process] is going to kick your ass.  It's going to get you all stirred up and all pissed off.  I strongly recommend you observe what the hell they do [not what they say].  It's going to make this a lot more peaceful and a lot easier to understand.

6-28-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   After the windfall, the wealthy do one thing first. They disappear...There is a whole industry that makes its living finding the newly wealthy. The people who keep what they receive share one habit, and it is not how much they hold. No one can connect their name to it...make sure the world never learns you have it...The most expensive mistake I have watched people make, and not been immune to myself, is letting the news travel. The relative who resurfaces. The friend with the deal that cannot lose...A windfall makes you a target...Looking exactly like the person you were last week is a strategy.

6-28-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  The architecture is accelerating, serious momentum towards full integration...We're in one of the most important windows we've seen in a very long time.  Multiple major files are converging at the same time...The pace has picked up significantly.  What we are witnessing is not scattered activity.  It's focused.  It's getting into a tighter and tighter circle.  It's coordinated, deliberate and moving with purpose...This isn't theory anymore.  This is operational enforcement with a hard deadline...

6-28-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  There's been so much corruption and so much evil that has happened to the poor people in Iraq and Iran.  A lot of that is being uprooted through bad actors and bad leadership.  We're seeing it play out before our very eyes.  Am I saying this is the very end of it, that they got all the bad guys, no.  I'm sure this is going to be an ongoing thing even after the dinar revalues.  You're never going to get 100% of the bad guys but this is a really important part and instills fear in the bad actors that are thinking about doing something or have already done something and might have been willing to do more.  It's a new day for Iraq...Exciting times are ahead.

6-28-2026   Newshound Guru Pimpy  If Iraq leaves OPEC it allows them to have more money for all the projects they're doing because they're not limited by OPEC.  They're allowed to produce as much as they want to.  That means way more reserves come in.  The more money they can use in their budgets and they're not screwed every time there's a fluctuation in the market...Leaving OPEC would be good for Iraq...This will allow them to really grow their economy.  Right now they're being restrained by OPEC will all these quotas...

6-28-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Community comment:   "If the dinar suddenly revalued to $1 or more, Iraqis would become millionaires too, not just foreign holders."  Redenomination only impacts the citizens in the country, not foreign investors outside the country...It changes everything for the citizens and their money between the large notes and small notes in the country...You have to be transitioning from dinar to foreign currency to be wealthy...If you're a citizen in the country, once the dinar revalues and dinar you have in the bank, the zeros automatically fall off. If you're a citizen in Iraq, the only way you could become wealthy off this is to have retained your physical cash...

6-28-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   Iraq's new central bank governor took his first sit-down with any foreign government this week, and it was with the United States. The central bank made the meeting the lead item on its news page...The statement names the three files they discussed: the banking-reform plan, the alignment of external transfers to international standards, and the regulation of dollar sales. That is the...work of getting Iraqi banks cleared to move dollars...This governor opened his term with...reintegration had reached its final stage...

6-28-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   If OPEC does not agree to or allow [Iraq] to export and pump more oil, they are considering leaving OPEC... One Middle East country has already decided to leave OPEC and Iraq threatening to leave OPEC or even thinking about leaving OPEC is a dangerous situation IMO.  OPEC, although it may or may not be a cartel...has protected the Middle East and their resources for decades...The thought of Iraq leaving OPEC frightens me.  Yes, it could mean a lot more oil revenue, but that's not going to help the currency adjustment situation.  The IMF and the World Bank has already told Iraq they need strong streams of revenue outside of the oil industry before they can be considered to be reliable, stable economy.

6-28-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  OMAR:  We got a little cautious because maybe it's just a trip.  Sudani went over to see Biden and he took a bunch of businessmen with him.  There was no rate change. FRANK:  When Zaidi tells you he has a plan to completely change your economy he's trying to tell you what he's going to show Trump.  1 to 1 is definitely the boldest reconstruction of your economy.  Without it you have no future for your economy...He's coming to inform Trump of what Trump  demanded from him...I'm not assuming just because Z is coming to see Trump that we're going to see a new rate...But when Z returns back to Iraq that's when I hope or before he goes to see Trump...

6-28-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article quote:  "In a monumental policy declaration that marks a seismic shift in Iraq’s domestic and foreign policy, Prime Minister Ali Falih Al Zaidi opened his black box on Saturday, June 27, 2026. He outlined a sweeping economic and sovereign restructuring blueprint ahead of his highly anticipated state visit to Washington, D.C. Al Zaidi made it clear that his upcoming meeting with US President Donald Trump will not be a passive diplomatic formality. Instead, it serves as the official dawn of a post-military, hyper-economic partnership designed to rapidly modernize Iraq’s digital, financial, and energy infrastructure."

6-28-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   A nation is not fully sovereign while under restrictions and US sanctions.  One of the major files by PM Z when he goes to Washington is sovereignty - No foreign forces in Iraq and no weapons for the factions.  You don't have sovereignty as a nation if you're still under restrictions and sanctions of a foreign country such as the US.  He's going there to discuss Iraq sovereignty mid July 15th...That's one of the reason I keep telling you the rate has to change before Iraq will go to the United States Mid July and meet with the Trump administration.  The rate has to change before Iraq can be fully 100% sovereign nation without restrictions and sanctions from the United States.

6-28-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  The file to delete the three zeros from the dinar is live and moving. A new 25 dinar note has already been shown. The governor before this one was moved aside in a dispute over the rate. The CBI denies all of it...because that is what a central bank does in the sensitive window before it moves. It says nothing is on the stove while the kitchen runs hot...We are waiting on the formal confirmation. New notes are the visible half...What that paper is finally worth is the half nobody in an official chair will say out loud...

6-28-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Ali al-Zaidi is close to setting a political precedent that could make him one of the fastest Iraqi prime ministers to reach the White House after assuming office. His anticipated visit to Washington in mid-July is not seen as a mere protocol visit, but rather as an attempt to inaugurate a new phase in the relationship between Baghdad and Washington, more than two decades after the 2003 regime change in Iraq.  Article:  "POLITICIAN: TRUMP SEEKS TO MAKE BAGHDAD THE GATEWAY TO THE NEW MIDDLE EAST PROJECT".

6-28-2026   Newshound Guru Ross  The Revaluation of the IQD is Unfolding Right Now...IQD RV clearly cooking.  May take a while longer but at least you get to witness real progress unfolding on a...near daily basis.

6-28-2026   Intel Guru Bruce  [via WiserNow]   We did hear that...not only is Iraq...all the currencies are going to have new rates Sunday...that we would have all new rates that would show up, probably to us on redemption screens Monday morning...Forex reopens again...around 5:00, 5:30 in the afternoon on Sunday ...and people that have subscriptions to Forex can see the rates as well...and Iraq will have new lower denomination notes of their new dinar out Sunday night...so on Monday or Tuesday we're going to be receiving notifications.

6-27-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Roughly 80% of [Iraq's] money supply is outside the country.  It's not tradable.  Can't be used for a damn thing...The central bank doesn't give two shits about it.  You know why?  Because all the money outside the country of Iraq...is simply used for Basal III compliance as asset backing to those country's currencies.  

6-27-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  You cannot get onto clean [financial] rails with dirty hands, so Baghdad is washing them in public. The Jumaili oil-ministry case...keeps finding more body bags. Latest to fall is a former provincial governor, Raed al- Jubouri...$10 million...now passes $106 million, some of it pulled from cash buried four meters [~12 feet] underground...A nation asking to rejoin the dollar system has to show its books are clean...The arrests are Baghdad clearing its own house, in public and in a hurry, because the meeting only happens once the house is clean.

6-27-2026   Guest Guru Terrence [Central Bank/International Bank Regulator]  For Vietnamese dong holders, I think their business model, what they've got in that country is probably more likely you're going to see a managed float.  But with the Iraqi dinar, there's a lot of internal things going on right now with the HCL...budgets get determined, they've got to manage those profits that  come from the government.  I don't see a managed float occurring...I don't think their economy is built on a managed float.  

6-27-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Article Quote: "A spokesperson for the Sulaymaniyah Currency Exchange Market told Channel8 that the reason for the dinar strengthening—if the [HCL] deal is finalized--is because 85% of the dollar demand in the market comes from traders, while the remaining 15% comes from everyday citizens." This is a BFD [Big Freaking Deal] for IQD.  

6-27-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  Either you believe that the Iraqi dinar is going to revalue or you don't.  Both conclusions are totally fine.  Those who hold Iraqi dinar I think are going to be mightily blessed.  And those who don't I hope they're not too upset.  I was joking with my wife the other night, this Thanksgiving or this Christmas might be very awkward at the table given the Iraqi dinar revaluation happens in the next 3 to 6 months which I have a feeling it most likely will.  I'm not saying it's going to happen with 100% certainty so don't throw stones at me.  But I'm saying with everything that's happening so quickly right now is extremely exciting...

6-27-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man   We are at a stage where several important pieces are moving at the same time...customs unification, border control, export infrastructures advancing with real deadlines, political alignment around cabinet completion, oil and gas is gaining momentum, major international players are re-engaging and the broader reform architecture continues to tighten.  They're all coming back right after...the Hormuz situation taking place...The direction and pace of activity in recent weeks suggests Iraq is entering a more serious phase of execution on the files that matter for long-term integration and stability.

6-27-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  This happened on June 18th...Iraq admits going to Forex.  If you're at 1300 right here [in left hand] and this is Forex [right hand] and you're headed in that direction [hands together] then I really like what I'm seeing...Whatever the case is, it's good news.  Let's see what happens...That is a really big accomplishment...Forex has nothing to do with 1300...

6-27-2026   Newshound Guru Pimpy  When Russia and all them are together in their own little club over there called OPEC...They have a huge portion of the world's oil.  By shutting down production...it drives prices up...Iraq is starting to realize, by you guys hamstringing us, you're preventing us from doing a whole lot better with our own economy.  If they are free from OPEC they.. think they can actually get to 11 million barrels per day.  What does that do for Iraq? ...It builds up their reserves.  The more reserves they have the stronger the Iraqi dinar.  Eventually the Iraqi dinar becomes stronger and it becomes more valuable. 

6-27-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   What they're doing, the lynch pin in this, they're waiting till we get closer to the rate change date to complete their cabinet formation...  

6-27-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  When the first conversation [with an exchange  bank] feels great, that is the bank doing its job.  The most common mistake is stopping at one bank because the first conversation went well.  Going well is the institution doing its job building rapport so you do not bother shopping.  The whole point of running 2 or 3 [banks] is that "going well" is not enough to make the call.  A bank that know it's your only conversation gets to dictate.  A bank that knows you are talking to two others gets to bid.

6-27-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]  Question:  Will there be more than one 800 number?  MarkZ:  There will be many…probably one for each bank. There will be separate numbers for Europe, Indonesia…etc….  Banks will be competing for your business.

6-27-2026   Intel Guru Bruce  [via WiserNow]  ...it was said they want this to go by the end of June...so we're getting closer...Saturday, Sunday, Monday, are going to be days to watch what's happening, to watch communications, to watch events, things that are happening that are contributing to what we're doing...

6-26-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  I say this all the time.  Being early with an investment and being wrong always look exactly the same until the payoff happens.  Always remember that.  Just because we're early don't mean we're wrong.  We're speculating that our day is coming where we are going to be proven right.  I have a feeling that day is upon us.  I'm not saying it's going to happen tomorrow...this month or next month...All I'm trying to do is look at the information coming forth and trying to dissect it...

6-26-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  The worst money decisions happen in the first 48 hours.  Fidelity, UBS and Finra all say the same thing, the worst financial decisions after sudden wealth are made in the first 48 hours.  The published playbook is plain, pause and park the funds, assemble a team, CPA first, then estate attorney, then a fee only advisor who works for you.  Protect with insurance and an estate plan.  Deploy slowly.  None of it is advice.  It is what every major wealth manager publishes openly...

6-26-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  There's no "tiers" in this.  I've heard people talk about tiers.  That's a bunch of horse crap.  If there were going to be tiers in this, there would be more than one rate change.  You would need more than one rate change to accommodate tiers.  There's one rate change. There's no tiers period.  When the rate changes, I don't care who you are, I don't care if you're elite...federal government or...Joe Blow down at the civilian level, that's when we all exchange, when the rate changes one time.

6-26-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  [Trump's] Barrack came into town.  He did his bit, circling the wagons, getting everybody on board, telling people exactly what the United States wants them to do...There's far more control about what's taking place in Iraq than we ever though, especially since that wall of the neighbor [Iran] has fallen...The stakes are high.  

6-26-2026   Newshound Guru Samson  Article:  "UNITED NATIONS : IRAQ HAS MOVED BEYOND THE STAGE OF STABILITY AND RECOVERY TO  SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT"

6-26-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  OMAR: Iraq admits to going to forex...This is on Channel 7...Iraq moves towards transforming into an international digital corridor...  FRANK: You can't do this at a sanctioned program rate.  Forex has never touched your dinar...It can't be at 1300 and be on forex.  I'm not stupid and neither are you.  This is tremendous news. 

6-26-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  Iranian leaders or government officials who might have Iraq dinars, imagine they try to cash in on this when it does happen....The fact that Iraq is going after a lot of these bad actors is only positive for us.  There has been so much corruption in the country of Iraq through Iranian proxies that have been essentially controlling the country of Iraq for the last 23 years...Corruption being uprooted had to happen to get us to the point we are today.  The revaluation could not have happened back in 2012 or 2015 or 2020.  I know there were a few times where I was hopeful it was going to go down, but there was so much that is being uncovered that we didn't even know was taking place...I believe our time is coming very very soon. 

6-26-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  The official rate sits at 1,300 to the dollar while the street trades nearer 1,450, and the central bank has denied a rate change for the second time this month. You do not build export routes, scrub the banks, and digitize every border to keep a currency on a program rate. The gap closes one way. The only open questions are when, and how high.

6-26-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Article:  "Iraq considers a mini-budget"  This is critical.  The rate can only change at a budget period.  Why is that?  Budgets are calculated off currency value...Iraq did not do an annual budget at the beginning of the year.  They're calling it a mini-budget because it's a semiannual budget...The rate change has to happen at the budget period which is June/July...

6-26-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   During this Covid crisis time the CBI devaluated the local currency by more than 20 percent, the biggest devaluation since 2003, adjusting the ex-change rate from IQD 1182/USD to IQD 1450. After the crisis and oil was flowing again it ‘revalued’ back to 1320/USD but it never regained its original pre-crisis value of 1182... these changes in the dinar are NOT structural banking reasons for devaluation but local, short term financial reasons due to the drop of oil exports. This comes from too much of reliance on oil to pay Iraqi’s bills. When oil flow stops or slows down Iraq hurts. So, we all know about al-Zaidi’s plan to change all this and have the economy generating at least 45%-50% non-oil revenues to protect itself in the future from these oil crises.  ...The most intriguing point in Al-Zaidi’s plan concerns the exchange rate...It is not yet going to FOREX. We will need the FOREX rate to be what they have been forecasting to be over $3...  

6-25-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   When a currency like the dinar finally reprices, the gain goes to the people who were already positioned before the announcement. The ones who wait for the headline are too late. Holding dinars today is a bet that Iraq is near the front of that line, and on Wednesday that line looked shorter than it has ever looked.

6-25-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  We have a lot of exciting things happening right now in the Central Bank.  The new central bank governor did take over...It looks like they're moving at warp speed.  I think the next 30 days are going to be quite exciting...

6-25-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article: "Rubio: Al-Zaidi sent good signals to Washington, and the issue of Iraqi sovereignty will top the agenda of his upcoming visit" 

6-25-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Question: "Is there a chance the rate can come in higher than $3.22?"  I believe it's going to come around $3.80.  So, yeah, I think it'll come out slightly above $3.22.  I think it'll be $3.22 plus cost of living increases in there.  And one thing you have to look at too is historically Iraq has always been slightly above Kuwait...Where's Kuwait today?  $3.24...If Iraq has always been slightly above Kuwait for many, many, many years...it's probably fair to assume when this happens, Iraq will come out above Kuwait again...

6-25-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   In Islamic banking, the bank holds more responsibility for the financial growth of its customers... Speculative investment is big business in the Western banking world...However in the Islamic world of banking, 'excessive uncertainty'...is prohibited...Iraq has a stock market ...But I'm very much concerned about the Forex market... because  if...Iraq... views the forex market as 'excessive uncertainty' they would not join the forex...A closed currency means the currency is only traded and used within the country...This is why you don't see Iraq jumping to situations that...resemble a currency value increase to the level we are looking for... [Post 2 of 2]

6-25-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  People might tell you the core difference between Western banking and Islamic banking is one of the reasons surrounding the IQD currency adjustment.  But that's not true, at least not anymore...The Central Bank of Iraq can operate both banking systems at the same time.  They are much more advanced in their banking reform than we realize...Many countries including Malaysia, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar have conventional banking and Islamic banks operating under one central bank.  Therefore it was no big deal for the CBI to implement the same system...

6-25-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  For weeks the only question out of Baghdad was who. Who runs the central bank. Who fills the empty chairs. Today it turned into when, and Baghdad answered. Al Hikma, one of the blocs holding Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi's coalition together, confirmed a special session of Iraq's parliament for July 5 to seat the last 9 ministers. By the middle of July, al-Zaidi is on a plane to Washington...Swearing-in now has a deadline, and the deadline is a flight...A date this specific, tied to a trip this public, is a firmer promise than the open-ended waiting of the last 6 months.

6-25-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick [Iraqi Bank friend Aki update]  At 3:00 in the morning, Aki told us get ready because the lower notes and the new exchange rate is coming.

6-25-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  Iraq is moving faster than I've ever seen them move before.  They are rooting out corruption at levels I had never seen before.  It all makes you wonder, hmmm, the timing is all very interesting.  We have the Prime Minister Zaidi going to Washington in the middle of July.  A lot can happen between now and the middle of July...If this much is happening on the surface and they're disclosing this, what's really happening behind the scenes?  That's the exciting part.

6-25-2026   Newshound Guru Clare   Article:   "An economist says the government is hinting at the possibility of adjusting the exchange rate in the future"  Quote:  “...the government spokesman’s statement does not include an explicit announcement of a change in the exchange rate, but at the same time it does not close the door to a review of monetary policy in the future, especially when he spoke about flexibility in managing the exchange rate and linking it to the requirements of economic growth...if there is a move  towards adjusting the exchange rate, it is too early to talk about a specific figure, but any possible change will most likely be limited and gradual to avoid inflationary shocks."

6-25-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Article quote:  "It has been officially announced Prime Minister Zaidi will visit Washington on July 15th for important working talks with the US president and administration.  The main item on the agenda is discussing strategic economic cooperation."  Can't do that at 1310.  You can't have strategic economic cooperation at 1310 with the United  States... You can't attract major American companies at 1310...The whole reason they're going to the United States is after the rate has changed for freaking international business.  It doesn't get any more transparent that that.  Very good article.

6-25-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   Bessent...walked through who is coming back...Venezuela, sanctioned and shut out, is coming back to invoice in dollars. The Iranians..."will be invoicing in dollars."  Russia...would want back in once the war in Ukraine ends...The sanction is the stick. The dollar is the door. Clean books are the toll...Notice Iraq was not on Bessent's list...because Baghdad is furthest along that road...Venezuela and Iran are being told to do what Baghdad has already spent more than 3 years on. Washington cut off many of Iraq's banks in late 2022. Iraq has been rebuilding its dollar access under American supervision ever since, working down the checklist...On June 22 the central bank said its restricted banks are in the final stages of reintegration, and in the same breath denied any plan to change the exchange rate.  That denial is the tell.

6-25-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]  ...things that we're getting are telling us that this week is looking excellent...We believe we are in the week for us to begin... we have a lot of people that are in agreement that things are supposed to pop for us.

6-25-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  I believe we are closer than ever for the dinar to get reinstated. But first things first...certain laws in Iraq must be passed. Certainly, reviving the economy to at least 45%-50% non-oil revenues could make a huge difference for Iraq and the IMF. By now everyone should be fully aware of these events that caused delays in the currency reform process. 

6-25-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]   Article: “Priorities of the new Central Bank Governor : Implementing Oliver Wyman’s criteria is of utmost importance”  An integrated banking system and no dollar restrictions. They also want us to know they will be managing the “Exchange Rate”.   There is a lot of back and forth on this one. Similar to what we saw in Kuwait and China days before their last revaluations. Article: “Al-Aboudi: the government and the Central Bank adopt a flexible approach to the exchange rate”  they are letting us know they can change it based on needs.  Then the Iraqi government says “There are no plans to change the national currency or remove three zeros from the Iraqi dinar at this time."  We also heard this the morning Kuwait revalued. We have the Iraqi government telling us one thing and the Central banks telling us another. We were told the RV is now in the hands of the Central Bank of Iraq and they do not need the government at all. 

6-24-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff    The next critical piece we're looking for is to see when they're going to do the cabinet because that's the most important piece of this puzzle right now as far as timing and when everything's going to happen.  We've got to see the cabinet done.

6-24-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  You see, Alaq is gone.  As you can see, Maliki is gone.  As you can see, the cockroaches are being controlled.  As you can see, the ability for them to steal money and send it to Iran...is dwindling and is being removed.  As you can see, the American dollar is now being used back in Iraq again.  Oh how powerful is that!

6-24-2026    Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  I was a tax professional.  I read a letter in my clients folder and I asked him, could I act upon the letter?  He said, yes.  The letter was from Condoleezza Rice, the Secretary of State at the time...Everybody in the military got the same letter that I read.  What it said was, invest in Iraq.  Basically, that's what it said.  And I believed it.  And I invested in Iraq 20 years ago...Yes, I was unwise to invest in the Iraqi dinar as a part of my retirement.  Because as you know the Iraqi dinar has not done a damn thing...I'm trying to understand the inside information of why this is taking so long, what is the real rooted problems...The more I learn, the more I understand there is something deeper.  This last war between the United States, Iran and Israel is telling me that things are going to change...Iraq should be able to grow independent and perhaps even increase the value of its currency.

6-24-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  A big question I hear all the time is, does the US Treasury own dinar?  ...Trump specially said we are holding $30 billion of their money right now.  Does that mean we are holding that money in US dollars or are we holding actual Iraqi dinars? ...But it's been known we are holding a substantial amount of Iraq's reserves in our bank in US dollars.  The dinar topic, that's up for debate...You have to decide is it plausible that the US Treasury would hold substantial amounts of Iraqi dinar given the fact that we put together all of these plans strategically to bring Iraq to the forefront of the world economy.  I would argue that yes, it makes logical sense.  However no one can 100% confirm that the US Treasury holds physical dinar and no one can 100% deny the US Treasury holds physical dinars.

6-24-2026   Boots-On-The-Ground Guru Omar  When Kuwait revalued, right before they revalued they passed a law with the central bank that all of the stolen currency it would be non-validated.  It would be null and void which helps to shrink the currency count they had back then out by a big margins.  Now look at what's going on inside of Iraq...They are catching and confiscating billions of stolen dinars.  If Iraq does the same thing like Kuwait did they could make all this money that was stolen non-validated, null and void and that would help shrink the note count.  We wouldn't have currency inflation...

6-24-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Let's say you have a 25k note before the rate changes.  A 25k note can buy one bag of groceries.  After the rate changes, a 25 note will buy the same exact bag of groceries...The purchasing power the currency had before the rate changes will have the exact same purchasing power after the rate changes with smaller notes.  The impact of it is outside the  country, the investors like you and I because a 25,000 note...if the rate is $3, then the value would be $75,000 and a 25 note would be $75. 

6-24-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Iraq gets its volume back and watches the price fall out from under it. The barrels are moving again. They are just worth less...So that is what he is carrying to Washington...A country burning its reserves to stretch a weak currency over a swollen payroll...The one lever that actually changes the arithmetic is the worth of the dinar itself: a currency re-anchored to the gold and the oil Iraq genuinely owns...And no nation reprices its currency without a nod from the people who run the system...Cut spending, borrow more, drill harder, or change what the dinar is worth. The first three are already failing. And the fourth was never Baghdad's to decide alone, which is what the trip to Washington is really for.   [Post 2 of 2]

6-24-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Al-Zaidi flying to Washington...Why he is really going...?  Iraq is not a poor country.  It sits on one of the largest oil reserves on earth and holds around $90 billion in gold and hard currency, a war chest most nations would envy. And yet it cannot pay its own bills.  A country is not its savings account. It is its cash flow. And Iraq's cash flow is broken. More than 90% of what the state earns comes from a single barrel of oil, and at today's prices that no longer stretches to cover the bills. Salaries and pensions alone eat more than 60% of the budget... Every month the government reaches into that $90 billion and pulls out a few billion more...The reserves slid from nearly $100 billion in March to around $90 billion now...A rich country is quietly eating its savings to pay its wages...Washington cleared Iran to sell its own oil openly again, in dollars, for the first time since 2018, dumping a wave of stranded barrels onto the market. The price has been sliding ever since...  [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

6-24-2026   Guest Guru Ariel   The Best Thing IQD Holders Can Read Right Now -  Article quote:  “Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi oversaw the handover ceremony for incoming Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) Governor Nizar Nasser Hussein. He stressed the urgency of advancing banking reforms to foster economic stability and investment, emphasizing that adopting international standards is vital to keeping pace with global digital transformation.” Yes! You read that correctly and coherently...Yes! This means what you think means... Everything is working itself out as you sit and patiently anticipate an inevitable conclusion you thought you would never live to experience.

6-24-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Articles:  “FINAL SIGNING AT THE WHITE HOUSE… AL-ZAIDI TO LAUNCH A “SECOND IRAQ” IN MID-JULY" –  "BARAK’S PLAN: BAGHDAD AS THE HEART OF A “NEW MIDDLE EAST”; “POLITICIAN: TRUMP SEEKS TO MAKE BAGHDAD THE GATEWAY TO THE NEW MIDDLE EAST PROJECT”  ...Trump wants to bring investors into Iraq but there must be Stability and Security first, thus his demands to rid Iraq of Iranian influence... If...Trump’s plans...for Iraq is executed successfully, won’t they have to get the dinar back on track and on FOREX? Choo, Choo! 

6-24-2026   Intel Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]  On the rumor front the consensus is it could happen anywhere between now and the 4th….the extreme outliers think it will be by September. I believe it will be closer to the 4th. 

6-23-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Question: "Do you think they will arrest Maliki?"  No.  He helped write their constitution.   He's not going anywhere.  He just won't be a politician again.

6-23-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article:  "Hantoush reveals the priorities of the new Central Bank Governor: Implementing Oliver Wyman standards is of utmost importance" 

6-23-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   The day the money lands, you stop being the customer everyone ignored and become the client everyone wants. Lawyers, trustees, bankers, the names on the hundred-year-old doors. They will be warm. They will be helpful. And a good number of them will quietly cost you a fortune while smiling at you...I have sat on the wrong side of that desk  myself.  I have paid a percentage every year for work a flat fee would have covered. I once signed something in the room, on the day, that should have gone home to my own counsel first...Always engage a qualified legal advisor in your own country before you sign anything...  

6-23-2026   Newshound Guru Samson  Article: "A SOURCE REVEALS : THE GOVERNMENT IS MOVING TOWARDS REMOVING THREE ZEROS FROM THE IRAQI DINAR AND ISSUING A NEW CURRENCY"  

6-23-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  If you hold Iraqi dinar and you're hoping, speculating that the dinar will revalue in the near future, I don't see how you cannot be excited right now...Stay grounded.  Stay steadfast because we are entering uncharted territory.  In the last 15 years since I've held Iraqi dinar more has gotten done in the last four months than the entire 15 years  combined...We have never seen so much acceleration, so much movement.  It's almost like there's a deadline somewhere in the near future.  

6-23-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  Elon Musk made thousands of millionaires last week for the United States of America's economy....[Iraqi's] currency is about to do the same thing. It is going to explode our GDP power of our economy.  The United States of America will explode, which will only benefit many other nations ...We are about to make many millionaires through the Iraqi dinar investment.  Same as Musk.  Our country is about to explode...You have a new exchange rate coming...Get ready. 

6-23-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  There's no way in hell Iraq is going to give any of us clues, tell us the date, none of that.  If anything, when you look at their most common pattern, what they do is lie about dates...That's how this is going to happen. They're going to lie to you on the way there...I don't trust what they say.  I observe what they do...It's a classified event.  They can't tell you the truth...

6-23-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   Prime Minister Al-Zaidi is expected to visit Washington in July.  This is a big deal and will include talks surrounding investment and business cooperation in Iraq.  Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've heard that over and over every time there's a new PM.  But this is what is different...This issue of forcing disarmament of the Iran-backed militants has to do with investment opportunities.  We know foreign investment is one of the keys, along with security, corruption and banking issues, before the currency adjustment can take place...

6-23-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  A managed REER adjustment may now be more prudent ahead of the Washington visit makes total good sense to me.  With Hormuz reopening, oil revenue pressure eases, reserves stabilize and the government can present a stronger more predictable economic picture to Washington.  A REER in the window would look more like a strategic move based on improved fundamentals rather than desperate reaction to crisis...

6-23-2026   Newshound Guru Clare   Article: "Iraqi parliament will resume its work at the beginning of July, with the cabinet reshuffle on the agenda"  Quote: "According to Al-Sadkhan, the new legislative session is expected to witness the discussion and voting on a number of prominent pieces of legislation, most notably the Oil and Gas Law, the Popular Mobilization Forces Law, the Federal Court Law, the Federal Civil Service Council Law, the Retirement Law, and the Salary Scale Law."

6-23-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Two years ago if you ran a bank in Iraq and wanted to move a single dollar to New York you mostly could not.  No western bank would clear it.  The country was a compliance risk...This weekend it began to turn.  Iraq's prime minister walked into the CBI and handed it to the man who used to run the country's anti-money laundering office.  Just two days before the Global Financial Watchdog handed Baghdad a written list of nine fixes on a deadline.  Clean the books.  Trace every owner.  Open the doors. Do that and the system lets Baghdad back in.  This is not a theory.  Eight months ago, Nigeria and South Africa did exactly this.  They worked their way off the same watchlist. Almost overnight the correspondent banks came back. The extra scrutiny eased and Nigeria alone pulled in around $30 billion of investment that had been sitting on its hands...Getting off [that list] is the way back to the dollar and Iraq just stepped onto that path.

6-23-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   If you knew when they were going to complete the cabinet because it'll happen in so, so, so very close proximity to the rate change, we would know when the rate's going to change.  That's why they will not give us this date.  It's this event, completing the cabinet, is a lynch pin.  They're saving it for the end.

6-23-2026   Newshound Guru Ross  The IQD RV is a Matter of When, Not if...You already know President Trump is going to make it happen.

6-23-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  ...there is now a solid benchmark set of at least 45% of the economy generating revenues of non-oil based. If you think about this goal then you can clearly see additional revenues being generated in the future besides what they have today to meet their budgets ....with these surplus revenues, the CBI can then be able hoard more of the surplus oil revenues to put towards its reserves, gold, and other investments bringing Iraq into more light with the international scene...

6-23-2026   Intel Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]  I am expecting a lot of movement this week based on what we heard over the weekend. I am getting a lot of chatter from sovereigns (Tier 3) and that is awesome. We have always been told sovereigns were among the very first to go...Should be sovereigns then full release of all the bond money and then CMKX, settlements, Prosperity packages…then us…It appears things may be moving.  I am pretty upbeat about it... Question:   How long for things to trickle down to us in 4b?  MarkZ:  I was told maybe a week…which the timing would line up to early July 1st through 4th almost perfectly. Cross your fingers and stay calm.

6-22-2026   Newshound Guru Clare   Article:  "The government comments on intentions to change the dollar exchange rate"  Quote:  "flexible economic approach...this approach seeks to achieve a well-considered balance between the exchange rate and the gross domestic product, reflecting the true strength of the national economy and its structural characteristics, and ensuring the stability of  macroeconomic indicators..."

6-22-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  FRANK:  I really don't care when it happens. I just know that it's going to happen.  OMAR:  You're a good guy.  You help us.  But...we care.  It's hard to live day by day here.  Nobody helps us what we have to go through.  It's frustrating.  The cost of our food is high and we have to try and sneak dollars just to live month after month.  We want this to happen and now is now... FRANK:  My apologies.  Here I am talking to him and I was so disrespectful with that statement.

6-22-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Iraq's oil and gas law, the HCL, has sat dead since 2007. This week Baghdad and Erbil shook hands on the revenue split...It decides who owns the barrel and who banks the money, and the dinar's new rate is tied to that split...Nouri al-Maliki, the former premier who guarded the old money, is reported losing his post and the immunity that came with it. The man who kept the law buried for 19 years becomes, for the first time, prosecutable...The rails being built are transparent by design, and the old skim cannot run on them, so the routes get scrubbed first.

6-22-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   A couple years ago, back when they put Alaq in, I said the only reason they were putting him in is because his signature is on the new printed smaller denominations. So they put him back in temporarily to commission the rate change with his signature being on the notes.  That's it...We are so close to the rate changing.  You are about to be blessed with a brand new life and a new beginning.

6-22-2026   Newshound Guru Samson  Article: "GOVERNMENT SPOKESPERSON : THE CABINET WILL BE COMPLETED BEFORE AL-ZAIDI'S VISIT TO WASHINGTON"

6-22-2026   Intel Guru Guy  Question:  "What's your first phone call [after the rate changes]?"  Guy:  For me it's going to be my trust manager.  I've formulated a trust entity to protect my assets and I'm going to execute that.  It's going to take them about two weeks to set it up inside the bank that I want to do it in. [You] can do this as well. You can set up a simple trust for $2,000 or $3,000.  It doesn't have to be elaborate.  I'm going for a higher end one.  It's going to cost me more money, but I want it for in-perpetuity so my grandchildren and their children can live without financial worry...

6-22-2026   Newshound Guru Clare   Article 1:   "A  source reveals to Al-Mustaqilla:  The government is moving towards removing three zeros from the Iraqi dinar and issuing a new currency"   Quote:   "Iraqi government, headed by Ali al-Zaidi, is moving towards studying and implementing a major economic project related to removing three zeros from the Iraqi currency ...Is this the beginning of an actual change in the form of the Iraqi dinar? Or just a new debate within monetary policy circles?"   Article 2: "Government spokesman Haider al-Aboudi told Al-Mada...the news circulating about the imminent removal of three zeros from the Iraqi currency or the revaluation of the dinar and the adjustment of the dollar exchange rate is not based on any official decisions, stressing that the government does not have any project in this direction at the present time."

6-22-2026   Newshound Guru Thom   Prime Minister Article: "Mr. Ali Falih Al-Zaidi chaired, on Sunday, the handover ceremony between the new Central Bank Governor Mr. Nizar Nasser Hussein and the former Governor Mr. Ali Mohsen Al-Allaq."    Na na na na… Na na na na… Hey Hey… Good bye.

6-22-2026   Intel Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]  I have a contact in one of the largest currency groups that was told on Sunday they will be traveling on Tuesday to get into place for this week. This is very hopeful but is it premature to say that the value has been changed yet…Maybe…but maybe not premature at all. 

6-22-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Ding Ding Ding, yes Iraq lies their ass off to you and talks out both sides of their mouth.  Be careful if you want to drink their Kool-Aid because they do lie.  They're going to talk to you out of both sides of their mouth.  They're not going to tell you the truth.  That's why...we watch what they do instead of what they tell us.  

6-22-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  We have excellent good news coming in from Iraq...The US is still engaged with Iraq and is laying out conditions rather than announcing sanctions.  I don't think we understood that Iraq was that close to being placed under additional sanctions because of the militants who are armed within Iraq.  The United States has laid out its demand and has said that the reforms that are being demanded are banking modernization, stronger government control and security improvement.  That has to do with the Central Bank of Iraq being able to talk to banks globally.  That is an indication that the US is on track to help Iraq adjust its currency...

6-22-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article: "Dollar Gap Persists Despite Official Rate as Iraq Awaits Customs Reforms and Washington Talks" Quote: "The Iraqi government has not issued any official statement regarding a possible adjustment to the dinar's exchange rate. Economic issues are expected to feature prominently during upcoming discussions in Washington, where Iraqi officials are anticipated to address financial challenges, budgetary pressures, and measures to strengthen the country's monetary stability."

6-22-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  OMAR: Zaidi said to us on the television we are moving towards implementing the project to delete the three zeros from the Iraqi currency with plans to issue a new Iraq currency in the coming period...This is all over the place...  FRANK:  it's time to raise the value of the Iraqi dinar because nobody's going to steal it this time... This is the day of miracles.  This is what we've been waiting for, for them to make this speech.  It comes directly from Zaidi...The time has come for the reality of your new exchange rate...

6-22-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Alaq is not being fired.  He's being re-positioned.  Article quote: "Alaq's efforts during his tenure were praised."  Which means he did a damn good job because he prepared for the rate change.  He wasn't fired.  It's how they're juggling personnel preparing, getting preparation steps done, to completely prepare for the rate change right in front of all of our faces...They're going to get rid of Saleh because he's older than dirt.  They're going to put Alaq in there [economic advisor] because they praised his tenure ...while he was the central bank governor...You've got Trump Jr...the prime minister... putting the correct people in the correct spots.

6-22-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   Iraq put its central bank in the hands of the man who used to police its dirty money...Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi presided over the formal handover at the Central Bank of Iraq. The new governor spent his career inside the anti-money-laundering office. Two days earlier, the Financial Action Task Force adopted a 9-point action plan with Iraq, a written list of fixes on a deadline, from a rule book for crypto firms to tracing every account to a real owner...Getting off the list is the way back into the dollar, and Iraq just stepped onto that path.

6-22-2026   Newshound Guru Clare   Article quote: "Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi presided over the handover ceremony on Sunday between the new Central Bank Governor, Nizar Nasser Hussein, and the outgoing Governor, Ali Mohsen al-Alaq..."

6-22-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  Articles:  “A STRATEGIC MOVE: EXXONMOBIL OPENS THE DOOR TO MASSIVE INVESTMENTS IN IRAQI 
OIL.”; “46% NON-OIL: AN AMBITIOUS GOAL FOR RESTRUCTURING IRAQ’S FINANCES.
”  WOW! So, the oil revenues will be growing too beside the non-oil revenues... Al-Sudani gave them a gift.  Yes, a head start on this new undertaking for Iraq, which I believe is the direct path to investors of finally realizing what we have been waiting for – the reinstatement back to FOREX. But, as I said they must be able to pull this off (and do it not just talk about it). My CBI contact is very excited about this new undertaking and believes strongly in al-Zaidi...

6-22-2026  Guest Guru Judy Byington    It’s my personal opinion based on [several recent events] that we could anticipate Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) being notified to set exchange appointments sometime between Mon. June 22 and Sun. June 28.

6-22-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]   President Trump flew....to Geneva...that's where they were having G7... There was a...signing of the peace agreement with Iran and US and 8 other countries in the Middle East...

6-21-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article: "Iraq Begins Drilling New Oil Wells in Territories Covered by Article 140"  Quote: "After more than 45 years, the Iraqi Ministry of Oil has launched drilling operations for a new well in the Hamrin oil field, which experts say lies within the constitutional boundaries of the disputed areas"

6-21-2026   Newshound Guru  Jeff   They are screaming going international to all of us...All these articles clearly show how they're going international ...All these articles mention international in them.  Very critical steps towards going and achieving world standards, supporting investment, giving investors strong comfortable stability steps...  

6-21-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Trump just did what no other President has been able to accomplish. He ended the war with Iran.  And he signed it at the Palace of Versailles.  Dig deeper. Versailles is where the old order was drawn up in 1919, the borders, the mandates, the financial system, and the one banking family that has run the money ever since...A century later, the  same room, a new signature, and a deal that starts loosening the old order's grip on the legacy system. You are witnessing history.  And the new world order taking shape.

6-21-2026   Newshound Guru Samson   Article:  "CABINET FORMATION : ADVANCED NEGOTIATIONS UNDERWAY TO FINALIZE REMAINING NAMES BEFORE AL-ZAIDI'S VISIT TO WASHINGTON"

6-21-2026   Guest Guru Terrence  [Central Bank/International Bank Regulator]  Central banks move very very slow.  It's like watching grass grow or paint dry.   They're not generally in a hurry to do anything.  But once things get approved, things could actually move very rapidly...The last several years, the pace at which they've been doing things have really been quite impressive... Having  watched this for the past two years and then seeing within the last year how quickly things have started to move, I'm excited.  I'm hopeful.

6-21-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  If we're seeing all of these things happen in front of us, what's happening behind the scenes?  They're sharing a lot of this information openly with their citizens and ultimately with international investors, but the truth is how much more is happening behind the scenes?  We're seeing a lot of positivity happen.  Does this mean revaluation tomorrow?  No.  But...we are checking boxes and seeing the dominoes fall.

6-21-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram 
 Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz again...This is really really bad news for Iraq.  But...Iraq is ahead of the game..."Iraq is preparing to export crude oil through ports in Syria"

6-21-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  The government of Iraq is being strained.  How many of you wanted Alaq to stick around?  I'm sorry, he's gone.  How many of you wanted Maliki to stick around? ..Sudani?  They're gone, gone, gone, gone...Cockroaches...we're getting rid of them left and right...Did you like the way the CBI was being run?  No, they overhauled it.  Did you like the way the 
government was being run?
  No.  It's an overhaul...Every president before Trump gave money to...Iran.  Of course you're not going to have your monetary reform.  Trump is the first one that say, 'Play fair with our dollar.' ...That's why there's a major overhaul.  It's a completely different Iraq.  IMO it requires a completely different exchange rate...

6-21-2026   Newshound Guru Clare   Article:   "Ahead of his visit to Washington, al-Zaydi's "sieve" causes the biggest government shake-up since 2003" Quote: "...informed sources speak of a broad list of changes that may affect more than 100 officials at various administrative levels, starting with undersecretaries and not ending with directors-general, in a move that seems closer to redrawing the centers of influence within the Iraqi state than to mere routine administrative procedures...and reveal the extent to which al-Zaydi can turn promises of reform into reality, or remain within the limits of the balances that brought him to power."

6-21-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   They can't tell you if they plan to increase [the dinar exchange rate].  They've already revealed to us the new prim minister is going to Washington with 100 businessmen to prepare for the implementation of the strategic framework agreement between Iraq and the United States.  That requires Iraq to have a tradable currency.  You don't take 100 businessmen to discuss implementing business with the United States at a currency value of 1310 under US sanctions.  You don't do that.  Iraq needs to go there with a convertible tradable currency that has real regional value to it.  

6-21-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Iraq quietly handed its central bank to the man who spent his career hunting dirty money. The anti-fraud chief now runs the vault.  You do not put a watchdog on the money supply unless you are about to count it.  For the ones in the back saying nothing is happening, there sure seems to be a lot of fraudsters being taken down. Everywhere. All. At. Once.

6-21-2026   Guest Guru Ariel  "Starlink as the Digital Rail for Currency Reality"  Iraq’s terrain is brutal for traditional infrastructure vast deserts, mountainous north, oil fields vulnerable to sabotage, border zones where old smuggling routes thrived.  Starlink’s low-Earth orbit constellation changes that overnight... This directly supports the CBI’s cashless mandate government salaries, taxes, services all electronic by early July...You can’t revalue or redenominate (dropping zeros) on a leaky ship. Starlink plugs the biggest holes in remote monitoring... Oil fields report accurately, borders track flows, banks enforce AML under U.S. Treasury pressure. This is how you build toward a stronger dinar anchored in real assets instead of endless dollar auctions...The new Governor’s AML (Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Office at the Central Bank of Iraq) background ensures the law’s implementation has teeth.  This is why the process felt slow: you can’t build Dollar 2.0 on quicksand.

6-21-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]   We heard this from some of our top sources that the funds for our exchanges...have been moved to be put in place....this thing could absolutely happen any day now...

6-20-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  This is probably the biggest news that has come out, the CBI governor was replaced...I find the timing of this very interesting because the special envoy to Iraq, Thomas Barack has been in Iraq all week meeting with the prime minister Zaidi...that's pretty fascinating ...The most powerful person when it comes to revaluing the dinar is the central bank governor.  They are in charge of everything...Obviously I believe the US is directly involved in telling them when to pull the trigger...This is very very positive.  This was a big week.

6-20-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  The Iranian rial was never touched by the United States of America.  We didn't even put sanctions on it.  We didn't even take it off the market like we did with the Iraqi dinar.  We never punished the Iranian currency.  Why?  ...We have it in the treasury reserves.  We have a ton of it...Let's see what happens with the Iranian rial.

6-20-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article:  "Elon Musk announces Starlink's entry into Iraq"  Quote:  "In a post on his X platform, Musk stated, 'Iraq has approved Starlink's operating license, paving the way for satellite internet service to reach the country.  He added that Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Zaidi and U.S. Presidential Special Envoy to Iraq Tom Barrack welcomed the confirmation of Starlink's operating license.' "

6-20-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  Things are not stopping.  You saw the progress and the speed of this new guy Zaidi, the prime minister, he's all about economics and [now] the change up for the central bank governor... Today's developments continue to show real movement on practical files...

6-20-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   One of our goals is when we go to exchange our dinar we want to reduce our fees that we have to pay at the exchange.  Some banks or brokers might charge upwards of 1%...I've heard 53rd Bank doesn't charge anything at all to exchange foreign currency.  I bank with Wells Fargo...I'm going to go specifically to their private bank...With the private bank you need a minimum of $10 million to get in...I told my guy I will exchange with you...I want you to give me face value for the currency.  Remove all fees.  He told me, I got you.  The reason why he wants to do that, his group in the private bank side will make more money off of investing my money than charging me 1% fee to do an exchange.  That's the reason they want my money...There's different tricks you can do to maximize your cash flow when you go to exchange...

6-20-2026   Guest Guru Terrence  [Central Bank/International Bank Regulator] Question:  "What are your thoughts on the Iraqi dinar doing a managed float versus an overnight revaluation?  I personally believe it's going to be an overnight revaluation.  It's just going to be a number that's probably already been determined internally and it's just going to be released by the central bank of Iraq.

6-20-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  What these [Tom Barack/United States] demands will result in is foreign investment.  Foreign investment is the key for Iraq recovering to the degree that we could easily see an adjustment of the IQD...Other things on the table that need to be taken care of...extra streams of income outside of the oil industry, armed militias being unarmed, safety in Iraq to the point where Americans and everybody else in the world can visit...We have to be able to exchange physically before we can realize our profits in the IQD. 

6-20-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  I'm expecting some HCL news to come out in the next 48 to 72 hours.  That's probably one of the biggest topics that we are going to see some movement on.  I believe the HCL is the precursor to the revaluation happening.  Some say the revaluation will happen first and then the HCL law will be passed immediately after.  It remains to be seen.  But they are both very very closely connected.

6-20-2026   Guest Guru Ariel   HCL – The Oil Revenue Lock That Makes Everything Fortunate...The Hydrocarbon Law is the sleeping giant...HCL centralizes strategic policy under a Federal Oil and Gas Council while giving regions input ending the independent KRG exports and smuggling that bled federal revenue.  Once passed, budgets stabilize, oil money flows cleaner, and the dinar gets the collateral backbone it needs.

6-20-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Article:  “MP: INITIAL UNDERSTANDINGS REACHED BETWEEN POLITICAL BLOCS AND THE PRIME MINISTER TO PASS THE OIL AND GAS LAW”.   ...this recent article...reinforces once again the increased efforts to finally get passed the decades long-awaiting Oil and Gas Law (HCL). In it we learn that MP Adel Al-Mahalawi confirmed...that there are initial understandings between political blocs and the Prime Minister regarding proceeding with the passage of the oil and gas law in the coming period...the Prime Minister aimed at creating the necessary atmosphere for passing the oil and gas law, which is considered one of the important laws that has been long awaited.

6-19-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  I wish I knew when the lower notes are going to be given...All I know is that they are coming very very soon.  And I mean very soon.

6-19-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Prime Minister Zaidi is not going to go to [Washington DC] at 1310.  They're going to go there with a revalued recognized currency.    

6-19-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article: "Al-Mada: Al-Zaidi is close to setting a political precedent as the fastest Iraqi prime minister to reach the White House" Quote: "The newspaper indicated that al-Zaidi’s anticipated visit to Washington in mid-July appears to be more than just a protocol visit, as it may establish a new phase in the relationship between Baghdad and Washington."  

6-19-2026   Newshound Guru Paulette  Article: "Al-Zaydi begins removing officials after Barrak's visit... Al-Alaq is out of the Central Bank, according to the framework – Urgent"  If true, I certainly hope he holds against the calls and refuses to raise the exchange rate [of the dollar], devalue the dinar, just as Alaq was doing...  

6-19-2026   Guest Guru Terrence  [Central Bank/International Bank Regulator] Vietnam is trying to export products...It's in their interest to keep the currency low.  Whereas in Iraq, all the signals are pointing suggesting they've got to raise the rate significantly...If you look at countries like Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, these countries are not anywhere close to being as rich as Iraq are.  Why are their currencies worth so much more than a dollar?  It doesn't make sense.

6-19-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  Article: "Alaq was relieved of his position as governor of the Central Bank and Nizar Nasser was appointed in his place"  We all knew that it is possible because it's the right of the prime minister to be able to get a new central bank governor...This [new] man seems to fit the bill.  His background is quite nice...It may even be more advantageous for us because it might be more of a seamless cleaner government in the sense, the man has who he wants in place...I like what we see...Prime Minister Zaidi is all about economics and so it the new CBI governor. 

6-19-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  Security issues...we see in Iraq.  It's very difficult for foreign currency to come in.  People are not going to invest when they see very clearly they could get kicked out of the country, shot or whatever else while they're in the country.   So the US is laying down requirements that must be adhered to within a time frame...The US... delivered a clear warning to Iraq that major sanctions could or would be imposed if Iraq does not implement a series of political, economic and security reforms...The warning followed a high-level meeting in Baghdad between US envoy Tom Barrack and Iraqi Prime Minister Al-Zaidi...

6-19-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Iraq handed its central bank to a man who spent his career chasing dirty money.  Its anti-fraud chief now sits on top of the vault.  The same day, the US Treasury published a list of bank channels running through Iraq and sanctioned the people moving cash through them, one government scrubbing its own books, the other naming the people who 
dirtied them...You do not hand the keys to the money to a fraud investigator unless the next job on the list is counting that money in the open...

6-19-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] OMAR:  On the television they announced to us the United States of America is going to resume physical dollar cash flows into Iraq.  FRANK:  We stopped it because they were funneling money into Iraq.  They can't anymore...And on this day they tell you no Alaq?  ...Maliki and Alaq had ties with Iran and neither one of them are  around anymore...The constipation is gone for the monetary reform.  

6-19-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Did any of us know today that the central bank governor was going to get replaced?  Hell no, we didn't.  I've been saying for quite a while the news is all scripted. They know exactly what they're going to do, when they're going to do it and it will catch all of us by surprise.  The rate change won't catch me by surprise.  It might catch you by surprise, not I.  I know exactly what I'm looking for to know when the rate's going to change...The very critical piece we need to see to identify that date will be the completion of the cabinet.  Once they complete the cabinet, it's game over.  Rate will change 
very quick...

This comes after nearly two days of long and complex discussions held by the Iraqi Prime Minister with Trump's envoy in Baghdad, Tom Barrack."

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi and U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Iraq Tom Barrack welcomed the approval of Starlink’s operating license."  Iraq’s currency shift isn’t a lottery ticket. It’s a structural realignment. The Central Bank has been pushing full government cashless operations by early July... Starlink provides the connectivity layer that turns those policy papers into operational reality...This directly supports the digital leap...moving trillions through electronic systems...building the infrastructure for any redenomination or rate adjustment.

6-18-2026  Newshound Guru Jeff  The only way you're going to diversify the income sources, meaning get away from just 90% oil, is to revalue your currency and get back on the world stage.  That's it.  And have a tradable, convertible currency. 

6-18-2026  Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Trump signed the Iran deal at Versailles. The war is over on paper. Oil slid under 80 dollars. Baghdad now has days, not excuses, to seat a cabinet and a law.

6-18-2026  Intel Guru Stephen  I've never seen Iraq move at the speed that they are currently moving.  The war with Iran accelerated things even quicker with Project Economic Fury led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent who is really putting pressure on the country of Iraq to get rid of all the corruption.

6-18-2026  Guest Guru Terrence [Central Bank/International Bank Regulator]  I can confirm there's multiple auditing companies, or I should say consulting companies, that have been assisting Iraq over the last several years helping them with their reform.  I think most of the work is almost done.  It's at the review stage right now.  The next thing that's critical is that Iraq is supposed to be moving fully digital by June 26th, this month...the I's are dotted and the T's are crossed.  They're ready to go, which is really quite remarkable given where they've come from.


6-18-2026  Intel Guru Walkingstick [Iraqi Bank friend Aki update]  Aki runs a private bank and the owner of this private bank called Aki about 10 days ago and said, 'Pack your bags, we're going to DC.'  They're given a full report on what they are doing with the monetary reform of Iraq's currency...Aki's boss is a very powerful man and...his boss...These powerful individuals play a part IMO in the monetary reform of the Iraqi dinar...All Middle Eastern countries agreed, we are going to start the release of the Iraqi lower notes internationally...Aki said Trump made it very clear to us we have to de-dollarize as quickly as possible and stop funding the terrorists.  Iraq is going to put their currency out...in an international float based on supply and demand...All of this pretty quickly...It is at least 1 to 1.

6-18-2026  Newshound Guru Clare  Article "The Central Bank denies any intention to change the dollar exchange rate" Quote "The Central Bank of Iraq categorically denied on Wednesday reports circulating about a possible change to the Iraqi dinar's exchange rate...it had detected a forged document circulating online that falsely claimed the Prime Minister's office had submitted a request to the Finance Committee of the Council of Representatives to change the exchange rate to 1,600 dinars per US dollar."

6-18-2026  Newshound Guru Samson Article "CENTRAL BANK : THE DOCUMENT CIRCULATING REGARDING A REQUEST TO CHANGE THE DINAR'S EXCHANGE RATE IS FORGED"

6-18-2026  Newshound Guru Jeff  Nothing is going to happen with the rate change till after the government's formed.  If you don't see the government formed, the rate can't possibly change.  The government has to be formed for the rate to possibly change...The government formation is the biggest giant secret within Iraq right now because they don't want you to know when the rate is changing.  The fact that they're keeping it a secret confirms to you it's the lynch pin to the rate change.  You hide what's most important.

6-18-2026  Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  The war with Iran is over. Trump signed the memorandum at a dinner in Versailles, the missiles stopped, and oil fell under 80 dollars. The world reads a war ending. The part that decides the dinar is the rewiring happening underneath it...Iraq is already moving a million barrels a day...Underneath the headline, Iraq gets cleared to run its money on satellite rails, an oil law dead for years moves toward a vote, and a cabinet months overdue moves toward its seats. The dollar auction that leaked hard currency to Iran is gone, replaced by US-compliance correspondent banking. The rails are being made transparent before the rate moves...Iraq, sitting on more than 16 trillion dollars in resources, is the last big economy being wired into the watched system...The last time the money map was redrawn at this scale, it took a world war. This time it arrives as a peace deal, an oil law, and a currency about to be rebuilt. Watch June 30 and July 1.

6-18-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]   President Trump flew....to Geneva...that's where they were having G7... to speak to the seven nations  representative part of the G7 starting...There was a...signing of the peace agreement with Iran and US and 8 other countries in the Middle East, but there will be a formal signing ceremony, and I believe Vice President JD Vance ...is going to be present for that physical signing ceremony on Friday...the 19th.

6-17-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   The HCL has pending amendments that cannot get approved till the rate changes.  That's why it's been outstanding since 2007.  It won't be approved till after the rate has officially changed.  

6-17-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]  We have heard...from some of our very good sources that were saying we could look for notifications Wednesday or Thursday of this week... I believe they definitely want to be done sooner rather than later, because they have plans for things of June, starting somewhere around the 23rd 24th of June. 

6-17-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Peace about to be signed off in Switzerland. Iraq's HCL loading after 19 years.  The man who buried it, Nouri al-Maliki, could finally be charged and a Soros-funded network raided in Ohio. Finally...Different capitals. The same story.

6-17-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  I don't care if they never get on the Forex market at my age bracket, as long as they increase the value against the dollar and as long as Iraq becomes safe to travel to...I will fly there and take my dinars and exchange them...

6-17-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man   Within 24 hours international air traffic will begin flowing through the Iraqi airspace.   Returning Iraq's airspace as a major international navigation arteries is clear proof of stability and global confidence of Iraq's capabilities...The place is going to explode [in a good way] probably...

6-17-2026   Intel Guru Guy   Definitely the top 5 or 6 banks are going to be doing this.  That's Chase, Citi, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs...also PNC, Capital One, US Bank and there may also be regional banks...Credit Unions probably won't exchange foreign currencies.  Most of them do not.  Some of them do...Credit Unions are member owned...You definitely want to shop...you get the wealth manager contact from three major banks.  You say, 'I have roughly $10 million in foreign currency.  I want to exchange them.  What's your spread and are you going to charge me any fees?'  You go shopping just like you would for a car. 

6-17-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  If you have the formation of the government then you're going to see the laws of the hydrocarbon law, the HCL.  That's the first thing on the docket...1300 will not function for the HCL...There isn't enough physical 3 zero notes to do that...

6-17-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  Iraq has strategically and intentionally had certain economic and monetary policies in place for years and years because they knew that in the future the Iraq dinar was going to be revalued at a certain point in time...A lot of that corruption, a lot of the Iranian influence that had to be rooted out is happening right now and has been happening over the last few months.  I only see upside from here moving forward...If you hold Iraqi dinar...then you are well positioned for something great in the near future...We're positioned very very well.

6-17-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  The man losing his immunity...is the key to the entire HCL blockade.  Nuri al-Maliki did not only block the oil law for 19 years, he built and armed the militia that Iraq's dollar auction quietly funded.  The daily sale of hard currency in Baghdad that bled billions toward Iran since 2004.  Dinar walked in the dollar walked out...A settled revenue split and a cleaned up banking system are exactly what ends it.  The law was never going to pass while the man guarding the skim sat untouchable.  Strip his immunity and the figure who buried that law becomes for the first time chargeable.  If Iraqi press has it right that is the lock coming off a door we have stood at for two decades.

6-17-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Article:  “IRAQ TO LAUNCH THE THIRD PHASE OF THE ASYCUDA PROJECT NEXT MONTH”  When I bring this article to you what should immediately jump in your mind? Of course, it is the notion of 45% non-oil revenue from only 10%...All of what we are about to hear about their economy growth the rest of this year stems around reaching this goal...I do not believe it is a far-reaching or unobtainable goal. Iraq has the resources, the labor and now the mind set to do it...  for us investors, the most important part is it will positively impact non-oil revenues...Today we learn the launching of the third phase of the ASYCUDA project next month, in July...I believe this is the last phase in the Kurdistan region. 

6-16-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  I remember almost 18 years ago, the first thing I said on the internet was the day you see the HCL, nanoseconds later, you will see the new exchange rate.  It looks like this my be what is soon to happen between now and July 1st.  

6-16-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article: "Al-Zaydi's advisor told Kurdistan 24: There are no plans to raise the dollar exchange rate" Quote: "An advisor to the Iraqi Prime Minister denied all reports circulating about the government's intention to raise the exchange rate of the dollar against the dinar to address the current financial crisis. He indicated that although the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has significantly harmed the country's revenues, the government will not resort to increasing the dollar's  value."

6-16-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Over the weekend the war with Iran ended...On the day the sky fell quiet, Iraq turned both of its oil routes back on.  That one move is the first domino.  The money comes in, a cabinet gets seated to spend it, a budget gets written to hold it and the new rate has been sitting inside that budget the whole time...  

6-16-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  There are spiritual...religious...internal...rooted...global reasons that the Iraqi dinar has not adjusted.  We are dealing with ancient history here.  Yes, we're having to deal with banks reforming and being able to talk internationally to other banks.  We're dealing with Iraq coming up to standards...Yes we're dealing with all that.  That can be  done in a very, very, very short period of time based upon what we are learning about the abilities of artificial intelligence...  

6-16-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen The current central bank governor is butting heads with the new prime minister because the new prime minister Zaidi is wanting to increase the purchasing power of the Iraqi dinar and the current central bank governor was threatening to resign...It seems like they are at odds.  I personally believe we're going to see a replacement of the central bank  governor most likely in the next 30 to 60 days.  Maybe sooner.

6-16-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  The United States-Iran agreement is a significant positive tailwind for the country of Iraq.  It supports my outside the box thinking that things could move faster than most conservative timelines even suggest...We see all kinds of wonderful things taking place ...All of this taking place creates an environment that makes a managed REER in the coming weeks, months, even more feasible and well timed...

6-16-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Banking reform...is waiting for the rate to change...Attracting investment is waiting for the rate to change...The private sector must play a larger role, again, need the rate to change for that.  Everything in Iraq right now is waiting for the rate to change.  That's why it looks like absolutely nothing in Iraq has happened in this month of June or since the new PM has come in.  The new PM cannot do anything till the rate changes.  

6-16-2026   Guest Guru Terrence  [Central Bank/International Bank Regulator]   I assembled this knowledge for him.  He was trying to bid for a due diligence contract to identify the gaps that were in the CBI's governance framework which will be used to bring the banking system into compliance...He told me the United States Treasury had given the Central Bank of Iraq a mandate to get your house in order...From what I understood, this was real...Once I started looking at what they were trying to build out and then also looking at the natural resources in the country...If you look at the valuation of the minerals that are in the ground, then the asset value, the price of the Iraqi dinar just doesn't make any sense at all.  It's drastically undervalued.  But with the banking  system being reformed, first you lay the pipes, you learn the rail, then you turn on the water.  What I saw happening is all that groundwork, the rails and piping were being put in place.  Once that's there it's just a decision when to turn on the spigot. That's what I saw happening...which I think makes the use case for revaluation hopefully in the near future.  [Post 2 of 2]

6-16-2026   Guest Guru Terrence   [Central Bank/International Bank Regulator] I got into the Iraqi dinar only in 2024...What I saw prior to getting into the dinar was the case for why I think the Iraqi dinar is really on the precipice of being able to revalue very soon.  QUESTION:  "What made you say okay this is something ...that has potential?  Rafidain bank...I regulated them around  2017/2018.  What I found was a bank that was dilapidated...It was almost like going back to prehistoric times...a general ledger system which was literally a notebook where debits and credits were entered...I had firsthand knowledge of...what dilapidated bank the central bank was in as well.  Fast forward to now, there's been all kinds of great, incredible reforms that have been taking  place in Iraq, particularly the banking system. Back in 2024 someone approached me about what would the central bank need to do in order to become compliant.   [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

6-16-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   Z is coming to talk to Trump about investment opportunities.  Anyone that thinks we want to invest at 1300 needs to get serious...He's coming to report with number and specific words.  If he doesn't accomplish that, I feel bad for Iraq.  I feel bad for us.

6-16-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article:  "Al-Zaidi at the White House in mid-July... Iraq and America reaffirm strategic partnership"  Quote: "Barak conveyed President Trump's desire to receive the Prime Minister at the White House in mid-July to discuss the future of this relationship."

6-16-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  One day after the US and Iran put their names to a deal, Washington flies its closer into Baghdad.  Special Presidential Envoy Tom Barrack walks the oil, the cabinet, and the revenue file toward a close. The real question is why Washington cares this much about one country in particular...Washington does not move this hard on a country it holds no stake in...Washington is there for the monetary result...A new financial system needs this last piece fixed, and whoever is holding the dinar when the rate flips gets paid.

6-16-2026   Intel Guru Bruce  [via WiserNow]  ...We're assured to get a contract rate on the dinar if you go into the redemption center. It's not available in the banks...so redemption center is the ticket for...those that have dinar that want to get the highest available rate, which is what President Trump set up and contracted for Iraq...we did hear an approximate in country rate for Iraq on the Iraqi dinar...Iraq was going to revalue their currency again, and it was going to be just a little over six, so we'll see. 

6-16-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   I am not setting a date only telling you the evidence is stronger and SECURITY and STABILITY levels are increasing from just a few months ago. This new administration in Iraq, once fully seated, could make a huge difference and continue on with what al-Sudani accomplished and move the effort to the finish line. Remember that Al-Sudani told us that the dinar would be stronger than the dollar... 

6-15-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   They don't want you to know the rate change is coming forward.  You got to think outside the box in this...and study deeper.  Don't just read article.  Think differently.  Bring analytics in...They have more record lies and misleading information they've ever had...This period of June, Iraq is putting out more misleading information than they ever have... It's not coincidental.  It's called timing.  There's things they don't want you to know...They don't want you to know that the classified event of the rate change is occurring.

6-15-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   Question: "IYO will the rate come out strong and float to a higher rate, then settle back down?"  Frank:  That is such a hard question to answer...It's an RI.  It should be reinstated.  But they're talking about coming-out 1 to 1. So maybe the initial step will be $1.00.  That means if you got 1 million dinar, you got $1 million.  That's not a bad rate of return.  I'll take that ROI.  What if it comes out as an RI and it's $3.22?  That means every million you have is worth $3.22 million.  I'm not going to horse around and wait for the float.  I'm going to exchange everything...and invest it because I don't have much time to live.  If you're 20...30...40...50...you can plan.  I cannot.  That's ok.  I had my turn at bat.  I had my turn.  I've had a few grand slams in my life.

6-15-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man   The growing confidence in the gatekeepers have in the path Iraq is on right now. Remember the United States said they would like to see certain things happen with this new prime minister within 100 days.  Look what he's done in 28 to 30 days.  He's killing it.  He looks great. 

6-15-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Two redemption paths: domestic CBI and international Tier 1...Iraqi citizens and international holders sit on two different paths... Iraqi citizens and residents convert through the Central Bank of Iraq window and the network of CBI-authorized commercial banks...The domestic channel is being rebuilt into an electronic, auditable rail before the rate event lands...Holders outside Iraq do not redeem through an exchange shop, a street kiosk, or a back-channel broker. The clean path runs through a Tier 1 international bank with IMF correspondent standing...

6-15-2026   Guest Guru Guy   The Vietnam dong is going to be right on the heels of the Iraqi dinar.  My intel says that Vietnam has actually contacted the Americans a year ago and said, 'we're ready go now. Why would we we have to wait for Iraq to get their act together?  We're ready.'  The US just said, 'Calm down.  Everything is going by a plan.'  I think Vietnam is going to go right after them...

6-15-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   One of the questions I have...at all times is why the hell Iran keeps acting like they are the forefathers or the guardians angels of Iraq?  Why do they think Iraq is not an equal?  Why do they treat Iraq like a stepchild?

6-15-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff    The #1 most critical piece we need to see is the completion of their government, finish the last 8 or 9 remaining minister positions of the cabinet.  If you notice they're not doing anything about that.  They're not having meetings.  They say they have differences but yet they don't attempt to have any meetings to resolve it.  At the end of the day what they're telling you is it's scheduled. They're going to finish the government.  It's just going to come out of nowhere...No warning.

6-15-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   All the pieces are falling into place for [Iraq's] monetary reform.  Trust me, Z is not coming to Washington DC simply to talk about investors.  Mark my word.  With the Strait of Hormuz now open, [Iraq's] oil is going to flow and the HCL is going to explode with the new exchange rate.  People can say this is quite a coincidence.  No, this was supreme timing...

6-15-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  President Trump announced the US and Iran had reached an agreement...The Strait of Hormuz will be reopened immediately to all commercial traffic toll-free...A formal ceremony is expected to be in Switzerland on Friday...I think that's really big news because Iraq and Iran are heavy trading partners. It's going to have an influence... probably a lot bigger than many ever realize...The momentum we're seeing is for real...

6-15-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   Trump declares the Iran war complete. The blockade lifts. Baghdad secures Kurdistan's oil fields. Both routes reconnect. The rate waits inside the budget.

6-15-2026   Newshound Guru Ross   Iraq’s Meaningful Fiscal Reform Before the Revaluation:  US is backing Iraq’s shift to program-based budgeting with World Bank support. A new independent investment vehicle backed by $100-150 billion in guarantees has been approved, separate from the traditional general budget. This new vehicle is meant to be cleaner and more focused on actual investment projects (infrastructure, development, etc.).  It gives international partners and investors more confidence that their money won’t disappear into the old system Iraq economic reports. The U.S. support is also tied to progress on consolidating state control over weapons by September.  Quiet but meaningful fiscal reform that is required before the revaluation of IQD.  Release your FUD. (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) We’re getting closer.

6-15-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  I am putting the banking, insurance and stock market (White Paper) reforms on the back burner for now. There is really not too much more they can do in this area without having the reinstatement. They are getting to the point where the currency reform implementation is going to get hotter and hotter and more pressure exerted as they move ahead. I firmly believe that this 45% of non-oil revenues is going to be the tipping point to the reinstatement.

6-14-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence    Here is what is important to understand.  This is a once-in-a-lifetime, generational opportunity. The windfall itself is the easy part. (Besides the waiting part). The hard part is what you do with it - the jurisdiction you pick, the structure you hold it in, the bank it lands in, the tax you do or do not pay. Get those right and the windfall compounds for the rest of your life. Get them wrong and you hand a large part of it straight back ...The timing pressure is real, because we are closer to the event than we have ever been.

6-14-2026   Newshound Guru Samson  Article:  "STANDARD & POOR'S AFFIRMS IRAQ'S SOVEREIGN RATING AND REMOVES IT FROM NEGATIVE WATCH"

6-14-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   We're getting rid of the final cockroaches.  It means the security-stability for the monetary reform of the Iraqi dinar is being born...This security and stability that is coming out is reflecting a lot of the things we told you, you would see...

6-14-2026   Newshound Guru Paulette  The Factions are indeed being given until September (90 days)...Now WE watch for further comments by the Trump team...will they accept 90 days?

6-14-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  I truly believe the dinar is just a starting line. The money that we get from the dinar, we are going to be able to 100x, 500x, 1,000x, 10,000x  [our dinar exchange money] over the next 3,5,10 years if you're smart and you're wise and you start planning ahead and you're not emotional on the day that the dinar revalues...You might be able to get your fees waved altogether.  Chase bank charges 7% for foreign transaction fees...they want to charge me 7% to exchange my dinar into US funds when the dinar has value.  If you have a certain amount of Iraqi dinar and you're within a certain threshold some banks might wave those fees  altogether... Let's say the dinar revalues at $1.00...If you have a million Iraqi dinar....that million Iraqi dinar is now $1 million US.  7% of a million dollars is $70,000...If you could get that down to 5%, you just saved $20,000.  If you can get that fee waved altogether, you just saved yourself $70 grand...

6-14-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  The Central Bank of Iraq is being accused of printing new dinars.  The CBI says this is not true.  They say they are not printing new dinars to cover government spending.  Instead they say recent operations were part of normal financial management involving Treasury instruments, not reckless money creation...Iraq is facing serious spending pressure.  Whenever people...print money, they fear inflation, currency weakness and change to the Iraqi dinar value...The CBI is trying to calm the market before the rumors become panic.  What this report shows us is the people of Iraq have a clear understanding of what printing extra or more IQD banknotes is all about...Iraq has a law against printing new money. 

6-14-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Question: "With Iraq's 2026 budget being considered a 'program budget' and the World Bank assisting, is this an international reflection?"  Yes, but indirectly.  I would not say that the '26 program budget itself means Iraq is going international in the sense of revaluing the dinar or suddenly entering global markets overnight.  However it does fit the pattern of reforms that countries implement when they are trying to become more integrated into the international financial system...The '26 budget is probably not the event itself, but it may be one of the prerequisites for becoming more integrated into the international financial investment system...This is part of that transitional transformational step as Iraq is going international...

6-14-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Iraq spent the closed [Strait of Hormuz] months doing the un-glamorous work, plugging it's banks back into the world through London, putting every border dinar on  auditable lager, pulling weapons inventories out of militias that answered to Tehran...None of it was visible to people watching the missiles.  All of it was built for the day the oil money comes back...You'll see the same ceasefire headlines as everyone else over the next two days...$7 billion a month in oil money heading back to Baghdad, a cabinet weeks from completion, a budget waiting to be written...

6-14-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]  yes, we've been pushed week to week. In some cases, it seems like there's a good reason for it. Other times we're just not sure, and we shake our heads, but I feel that we are finally getting very close to the end of the ride... 

6-14-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  let’s watch this new plan to increase non-oil revenues to 45%. This is going to be BIG, really BIG! They are committing to it and will actually do it. This along with resolving...5 other key issues is the recipe for the RV. I am told this by my CBI contact and I whole-heartedly believe her.

6-13-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Iraq is licensing banks with no branches, no vaults, no paper. The launch standard: zero  downtime, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Nobody writes that spec for a currency worth a tenth of a US cent.  America ran this  sequence in 1933. The repricing came next.

6-13-2026   Newshound Thom  Community comment: "Rumor has it they [Vietnam's VND] are tired of waiting for Iraq..."  I don’t think they are as connected as people say they are...It looks to me like [the VND] is going to float. So a gradual rise like bitcoin would do. Not an over-nighter like we are expecting the dinar to do.

6-13-2026   Guest Guru Guy  You do not want to end up like the typical lottery winner.  They're broke within less than a year.  You want to build.  You want to take each step with a conscious effort...If the first thing you do is book a flight to Las Vegas, you've already lost the game.  You have your 'left brain' list, which is your rational mind, a to-do list.  And then have your  'right brain list', which is fall to your knees and give thanks.  Think about the churches and charities you're going to donate to.

6-13-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  Article: "Zaidi will pay an official visit to the United States during the month of July" It's  going to be a crazy July...

6-13-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   The central bank of Iraq is never going to let the rate out.  They can't.  They can't even tell you the rate is going to increase ...They can tell you they have no intentions of devaluing the dinar, which they have and they could tell you if they are going to devalue the dinar. Those are the only two things they could tell you.

6-13-2026   Newshound Guru Samson   Article:   "GOVERNMENT SPOKESPERSON : THE PRIME MINISTER WILL VISIT AMERICA NEXT JULY"

6-13-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  They're not going to go out into the international markets without having an international accepted traded currency, not on an international scale.  The dinar is not there at 1310...Iraq's full integration is becoming a reality.  

6-13-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   No one is going to address the nation, hand you the headline and tell you to get your affairs in order.  That time is now... You get to watch it unfold each day while explaining the significance of these times to the very people who think the world is collapsing. In one way or another that world is collapsing, just not the way they think it is.

6-13-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Article:  “PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE: THE 2026 BUDGET WILL BE BASED ON A “HEDGING” OIL PRICE OF AROUND $60"  ...the budget is NOT based on the rate of the dinar... There will not be an RV rate to the dinar in the budget tables! ...the budget is based on the price of oil. This will continue until the dinar is repegged to a basket of currencies and back on FOREX. Until this timeframe they will continue to use the petro-dollar which is the price of oil...We are NOT going to get our RV because of the budget coming out...

6-13-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]   We...know that redemption center leaders...are planning to go in on Saturday [6-13-26], believing that we would get notified Saturday or Monday...and then there's also information we're getting from some military sources that's talking about our notifications or 800 numbers to come out either the 13th or 14th...Saturday or Sunday...if not, maybe Monday, but one particular source, which we think is pretty sharp, said next week will be party time...

6-13-2026   Guest Guru Judy Byington   The moment we’ve been preparing for is almost here...the final activation steps are expected to move into position. Official notifications could appear at any time...


6-12-2026   Newshound Guru Clare   Article:  "Kurdistan Region to send delegation to Baghdad next week to resolve oil and salary issues "

6-12-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Trump says the war with Iran is over. The blockade lifts on one signature. Before the war, Iraq moved 93 million barrels a month through Hormuz.  April's count: 10 million. The oil money that fills Iraq's next budget is coming back. The dinar's new rate has to be written inside that budget. Only time will tell what that rate is...

6-12-2026   Newshound Guru Thom   If you have been holding Vietnamese Dong and wondering whether the macro story is still intact, today's data answers that question.  It is intact. It is accelerating...Vietnam's total import-export turnover for January through May hit $445.12 billion — up 25% year-over-year. Exports at $215.66 billion. The U.S. remains the top export destination at $69.6  billion... FTSE upgrade in 102 days. Every signal sourced. None of it rumor. The thesis is tracking.

6-12-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   Whenever someone mentions redemption centers or 800 numbers or bond holders, I immediately just  tune them out because I'm like, 'Okay, they've been sold a bag of goods'...either intentional...or ignorance or just silliness.

6-12-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  A more modern integrated Iraq is taking shape right in front of us.  The time feels deliberate and coordinated supporting the idea that we are closer to major monetary steps including a managed REER with a credible sovereign dinar more so than many realize.

6-12-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   It must not fail with the citizens of Iraq.  The monetary reform education is on a stampede.

6-12-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff    Article:  "The Prime Minister will visit America next July"  We don't have a hard date.  It's literally just plain old 'the month of July', but the rate has to change before that...The Strategic Framework Agreement with the US, now they're talking about activating, meaning implementing, because Iraq's going to become international.  That's more proof they're going to change the rate before he goes.  They have to activate the Strategic Framework Agreement...

6-12-2026   Newshound Guru Clare   Article:  "Government spokesperson: The Prime Minister will visit America next July"

6-12-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Trump declares the war with Iran over. Oil drops below $87. Iraq's tankers are already loading. Tehran says no text is approved. One signature decides the week.

6-12-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   ...another hot topic in need of review. It is the printing of more dinars that was recently in the news. So, did or didn’t the CBI print more dinars?  Article:  "CBI DENIES PRINTING MONEY TO COMBAT FINANCIAL CRISIS"  Quote: "The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) on Sunday denied claims that it had printed money to combat the current financial crisis."  ...printing more hard currency is inflationary. The higher the mass of currency the lower value for each note...As investors watching for the dinar to revalue, we don’t want inflationary measures as the IMF is watching Iraq closely and they must be able to keep inflation low to more or less 2%...Another reason for NOT wanting more dinars is that the CBI is making an effort to reduce, NOT increase the monetary mass... just one of many measures that will coincide with the Project to Delete the Zeros and the coming digital dinar. They have been priming the proverbial the pump for the main event. They have been getting Iraq ready for that final choo-choo ride.

6-12-2026   Guest Guru Judy Byington   No one knows the exact date for notification of appointments for Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) to exchange foreign currencies, but deadlines indicate it to be by the end of this week.

6-12-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]   As far as our timeline, we have heard this from two different sources...If we don't get this by Thursday, we're looking at the weekend, which is probably Saturday. The other one was saying something very similar...Redemption Center leader that said if this doesn't go by the 11th Thursday...then it would go between the 12th, which would be Friday, and the 15th, which is Monday...So that seems to be the consistency of what we're getting from...I would say some of our very best sources. 

6-11-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  January 2020 - The Iraqi parliament had just voted to expel US forces...A reporter asked President Trump how the United States planned to recover its costs if it left. The verbatim exchange:  Reporter: "How are you going to collect?"  Trump: "Well, we have a lot of their money right now. We have a lot of their money. We have $35 billion of their 
money right now sitting in an account. And I think they'll agree to pay. I think they'll agree to pay. Otherwise, we'll stay there.
"  The $35B sitting in an account is Iraqi oil revenue held at the New York Federal Reserve...At today's official rate of 1,310 IQD per USD, $35B sits as roughly 45.85 trillion Iraqi dinars. The arithmetic of repayment, alongside the arithmetic of every IMF programme, every World Bank facility, and every US Treasury sanctions calendar, only resolves cleanly if the underlying currency stops trading at one-tenth of a US cent.

6-11-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Iraq cannot in no way in hell tell you what the value of the currency is going be.  You got to put common sense into this.  Put your thinking cap on.  They can't legally tell you what the value of the dinar is going to be.  They can't.  They also can't tell you when...They can't even tell you they're going to increase it's value...let alone give you a date they might do it.

6-11-2026   Intel Guru Stephen  How do I convert [paper dinar currency] into numbers in my bank account?  If you own dinar you took the first big step you could have taken.  You are already way ahead of the game now.  The second step you take is going to be just as important as the first step of buying Iraqi dinar.  And that is getting the money to your bank and doing the exchange the proper way while minimizing fees the banks might want to charge you.

6-11-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article:  "Al-Zidi is preparing for a visit to Washington with several key issues on his agenda, most notably attracting major companies to Iraq”. Quote: "Al-Zaydi added: 'We have an upcoming official visit to the United States, and we will be taking a number of businessmen with us to expand mutual and joint investment opportunities "

6-11-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   Zaidi is being motivated by Trump, by D.C.  Maybe these meetings are going to finally be successful especially because they are being held in DC.  It's been a week now that there has been an Iraqi delegation in DC and Zaidi is about to catch up with them.  God willing, maybe we are going to see that government formed right around the 14th and 15th...

6-11-2026   Newshound Guru Paulette   Article:  "Al-Zaydi proposes raising the dollar exchange rate and selling government institutions to pay off debts"  I sure hope Alaq sticks to his statements and says NO to this idea!!!!... Raising the exchange rate of the USD just to get more Dinars per dollar is certainly the wrong direction and not what WE want to see...

6-11-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  The precedent is March 1933, when Roosevelt shut every bank in America, culled the ones that could not survive examination, and within a year repriced gold from $20.67 to $35 an ounce. Cleanse and filter the system first. Reprice the money second. Iraq is running the same sequence in daylight.

6-11-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   Iraq cannot fully move forward economically if armed groups are operating both inside and outside the control of the government of Iraq...This is not new.  But what is new is a prime minister has been elected on the basis that he's going to bring the country together and unarm the Iraqi militants...If Iraq can actually do it, if they can change the way investors look at the country, everything can change, including the currency rate of the IQD.

6-11-2026   Guest Guru Guy   There are a lot of people in the foreign currency world who actually aren't holding their own currency.  They bought bonds or they turned their currency over to a redemption center.  Those bond issuers and redemption centers are not going to pay you all at once.  They're going to pay monthly over the next 10, 20, 30 years.  I stayed away from all that.

6-11-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Budgets are calculated off the currency value.  Theoretically...the budget has to come forward right after the rate changes.  But rate would have to change in what is called a budget period...The rate has to change in approximate budget period...Very solid confirmation that the rate could be changing in June...It's not 100%.  No body knows when the rate change is, month or date...We have enough solid data to know...the budget is going to come forward to be implemented in the second half [of the year], which would be July on.  That means the rate would most likely need to change in June...I needed more data. We now have it to really pin down the approximate period in which the rate could be changing.  This data strongly suggests June.

6-11-2026   Intel Guru Stephen   It's a very fluid situation.  There's a lot going on.  Iraq is moving forward.  There's a lot of positive things happening in Iraq.  Everything is coming together.  The dominoes are falling.  If you are an Iraq dinar investor...the end is near...I believe everything is lining up in our favor.  I can see the light at the end of the tunnel...Iraq is positioning themselves to be a powerhouse of the Middle East again and the Iraqi dinar is going to be one of the most valuable currencies in the world in the very near future.  

6-11-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article:  "Al-Zaydi proposes raising the dollar exchange rate and selling government institutions to pay off debts"  Quote: "the plan, which was approved by the leaders of the framework, includes in its first stage raising the exchange rate of the dollar again as one of the options proposed to reduce the financial deficit and increase government revenues"

6-11-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Iraq's central bank is licensing a kind of bank the country has never had: no branches, no vaults, no paper...Nobody writes that spec for a currency they plan to leave alone...79 applications already sit on Governor al-Alaq's desk. This is the third stage of the Oliver Wyman reform plan, and the first that replaces banks rather than upgrades them...banks born clean take their place. 

6-11-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]  ...redemption centers...have military on duty around the clock for security all over our country...Now, that what does that tell us? That tells us how close we are. 

6-11-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Article: “EXPERTS LAY OUT A ROADMAP FOR LEAVING THE RENTIER ECONOMY.”  ...We all have been reading about this rentier economy for over a decade and how it had to change to get the reinstatement. Could the news get any better today except for having the RV.   This is a roadmap to the RV...

6-10-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   A country holding $97 billion in reserves could carry a far stronger rate and Iraq does not.  That is not the market and it is not an accident...The dinar's number is less an economic verdict than a permission...The country sits inside the financial system on a short leash, its dollar reserves held in a Federal Reserve account in New York that  Washington can squeeze, its banks under supervision no ordinary country would tolerate. 

6-10-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  I don't think the Iraqi dinar is going to revalue until this entire Iranian situation is somewhat settled...

6-10-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Iraq is only article VII with the IMF.  They need to become Article VIII to be international. 

6-10-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article quote:  "The Iraqi government: Salaries for employees and retirees are guaranteed and there is no printing of currency”

6-10-2026   Newshound Guru Thom    When someone tells you that Iraq will remove the zeros from their currency and it will be worthless, they are either ignorantly or deliberately leaving out this key phrase "raising the value of the Iraqi dinar." 

6-10-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   A currency locked out of world banking moves on paperwork before it moves on price.  Correspondent banks give the dinar reach. Exports give it income. Clean books give it credibility. A seated cabinet gives it law.  Three of the four moved this week.

6-10-2026   Intel Guru Frank26 The security and stability is going to be bringing forth the sitting of the government with all of it's stuffing, mainly the HCL and many other laws that are going to be so important...It's looking very very good.  

6-10-2026   Guest Guru Guy  The impact of all these missiles and drones in the Gulf region has been to all of the oil producers except Iraq.  Iraq is the only one that is not getting hit by either side and they're right there.  They're right on the border with Iran.  That means something.  This country of Iraq has a great future in front of it and the only way they can engage with the rest of the world is with a tradable currency that has value...

6-10-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   Iraq's prime minister Zaidi is preparing to travel to Washington at the invitation of President Donald Trump.  But behind the scenes...smiles...handshakes...official meetings, there's a much bigger story unfolding.  This visit is about power...money...militants... corruption... and about the future direction of Iraq itself...

6-10-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   I'm going to say this as plainly as I can...When the dinar revalues you're going to go to a bank.  You're not going to go to a 'redemption center' that people are claiming is going to pop up on every street corner when this happens.  You're going to go to your bank.

6-10-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   The last 8 or 9 cabinet positions, they're going to just put them in when they're magically ready.  You know when they're going to be ready?  Right before the rate changes.  Why?  Because the full completion of the government is the lynch pin to the timing of the rate change...When you see them finish the cabinet and the government formation, you're very close to the timing of the rate change...When they're ready it'll be a slam dunk completion. 

6-10-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  The corruption layers are being removed to make way for the new system, both abroad and in the US...You are being handed this gift while it is still playing out. The last piece standing is the IQD, still pinned to a rate a captured Baghdad set, while the props under it are pulled away one at a time. This week took several. When the last one goes,  it will land on an ordinary day, and most people will still miss it.

6-10-2026   Intel Guru MarkZ   I think we have to go before the 4th.

6-10-2026   Guest Guru Ariel   ...over the past month, Iraq’s been stacking wins that fly under most radars.  Political meetings between Sudani’s circle and Central Bank leadership have hammered HCL (Hydrocarbon Law) long-delayed oil revenue sharing that locks in federal control while giving regions skin in the game. When that lands fully, it stabilizes budgets and removes one of the biggest excuses for currency volatility...Watch for more HCL ratification noise and any sudden gold reserve announcements; those are the tells that the books are squaring up for re-rate mechanics.

6-10-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   ...we may see the HCL (or also called the Oil and Gas Law)... on the near horizon as it will soon be taken up in parliament when the next session starts. It is of a high priority and we are told it will be one of the first pieces of legislature taken up...WOW!...the HCL and the Factions are the two biggies and we thought would take the longest...I keep telling you that things can change suddenly as we only get part of the news. The actual reality is normally much farther ahead of the news we get...Folks, we are almost there. WOW! 

6-9-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Everyone wants to know when the IQD revalues. Almost no one is watching the thing that actually decides it.  The layers of corruption, not just in Iraq but across the world, are being dismantled in public, one day at a  time. This is a coordinated US Military Operation in conjunction with the United States Treasury...The old gatekeepers do not get  to stand in the middle and skim the revaluation as it passes through. The house gets cleaned first. Then the money moves. That is  the sequence, and it is happening on the record, right now.

6-9-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   The news is going to suggest to you that Iraq is nowhere close and not in a position right now to change the value of the currency probably for at least the remainder of this year...Iraq probably will not be ready to change the  rate until next year of 2027.  This is what Iraq wants you to understand...You're going to see the perception is very doom,  negative and gloom.  They do not want you to thin the rate is going to change anytime soon...The news is going to be very misleading and you're not going to like what you see.  

6-9-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu  We do not have definitive clarity on how the IRS plans to tax this profit [from a dinar  RV] should there be any. They have been quite mercenary of late and may choose to tax the Dinar as a collectible if they so wish.  The same goes for Fine Art, Silver, Gold, Antique Persian Carpets...etc. You probably should look into this CRUT Trust. It could  save you a lot of money. The common knowledge says we can elect to pay the tax as Personal Income or CG Tax, your choice, but you never know. [Dinar Guru Note: Consult your tax and asset protection professionals to determine the best tax strategy for your  unique circumstances.]  

6-9-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  We do not believe the Central Bank of Iraq will relinquish control of the Iraqi dinar and allow the currency to float on the open market.  Hopefully we are wrong.  Iraq could do what Saddam did and raise the rate against the US dollar.  But if the rate is not accepted by the global markets we would have to travel to realize our profits.  Economists say this scenario is highly unlikely.  Economists also say the United States' intervention into helping the Iraqi dinar adjust to a higher rate against the dollar is also unlikely.  The way the world is going, we do not know what to expect.  

6-9-2026   Intel Guru Frank26    If you have the formation of the government then a lot of things become active, a lot of things are implemented.  There's a domino effect that's going to occur.  The opening of the budget is going to take us straight to what we want right away, the HCL, because it needs a new exchange rate...The HCL is #1...

6-9-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  There is no economic case for the dinar at 1,300.  You do not harden a currency at the printing press. You harden it in the vault, and that is where this one is being made strong.  $97 billion in reserves. A record 162 tons of gold.  The floor is a political decision, not an economic one.

6-9-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  They're saying that over time they've been printing new dinar and over time they're printed way too much.  They're saying over time their MO figures are way too high.  They have too much dinar in circulation which is going to devalue the dinar, raise their inflation.  When your inflation is up you don't want to be deleting zeros and increase the exchange rate when your inflation is going up...

6-9-2026   Newshound Guru Thom   Iraq's Prime Minister told international oil companies to restart operations in the Kurdistan Region immediately.  The oil companies said no.  They're refusing to go back to work until they have guaranteed protection. The Prime Minister made a promise. The industry isn't moving until that promise has teeth...Kurdistan's cabinet is meeting Wednesday to work through unresolved issues with Baghdad...oil revenue sharing, customs disputes, and how the money gets divided...the Strait of Hormuz shipping crisis has cut into Iraq's oil revenue badly enough that Baghdad is now accepting less money from Kurdistan than the original agreement required.  The pieces are moving. 

6-9-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article quote: "Saleh...stressed that 'raising the value of the Iraqi dinar is not achieved through quick administrative decisions, but rather through a long-term reform process based on the stability of monetary and financial policies, diversification of national income sources, and strengthening confidence in the local currency,” noting that “the stability of the dinar remains a direct reflection of the stability of the macroeconomy and its ability to cope with local and  international changes, which is what the government is working on through a package of measures to strengthen the value of the Iraqi dinar...' ”

6-9-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   The men who really ran Baghdad had no use for a stronger dinar because the cheap one was their living.  Their skim is the gap between the official rate and the street.  Sell them at the higher street rate and route much of the hard currency on to Iran.  A strong dinar closes that gap and ends the racket...

6-9-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   There's an upcoming US visit.  They don't have a date set.  It just says official trip to Washington announced...They're not going to give you a date...IMO he's [PM Zaidi] coming here after the rate has changed, after Iraq has stability...

6-9-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   If you are so concerned about the budget for 2026 because you think the new RV rate is in it then you are WRONG, WRONG and WRONG... The RV rate we want is NOT stated in the budget tables nor will it ever be...The budget is based off of the price of oil per barrel not the rate of the dinar.

6-9-2026   Newshound Guru Ross  Iraq is in a transition year due to the Iran War.  New leadership. New cabinet.  Reforms loading.  Liquidity tightened. HCL and diversification from oil just became urgent. CBI isn’t bending. They’re enforcing their mandate and forcing real fiscal discipline.  ...After 23 years of waiting, this is the fastest things have moved.  IQD RV thesis is stronger than ever before.


6-8-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   80 trillion dinars outside of the banks of Iraq.  That's a problem.  But if you raise the value of your currency, I promise you, you'll get every one of them back...

6-8-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   The pressure you are seeing is external and engineered, the kind that breaks an old arrangement so a new one can take its place.  Iraq is being walked into an engineered currency revaluation, the one where increasing the value is the only door left.

6-8-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Anytime within a few weeks after the government is formed they can then proceed to revaluing the currency.  That's most likely how it's going to unfold...The news is the best overall that we've see...I guarantee you the rest of the government...is much farther along than what they're telling us.

6-8-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article: "Al-Araby Al-Jadeed: Al-Zaydi wants to finalize the appointment of the Ministers of Interior and Defense before going to the United States" Quote: "The presence of the Ministers of Defense and Interior is essential for this visit, in which security files will be on the agenda."

6-8-2026   Newshound Guru Thom   I am not bullish enough on VND. 

6-8-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  The tide is turning.  Real progress is accelerating across Iraq.  REER next?  ...Your investment is solid.  We just don't know the date and the rate and nobody will until it happens...When Alaq speaks it's be effective immediately...They're not going to tell you it's going to happen in 3 or 4 days...That's not the way it's going to work...This is a genuinely an encouraging period of time.  I hope you feel the same as I do. 

6-8-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  The $900 [approved World Bank financing trade routes] enable Iraq to increase its GDP.  Current rate doesn't automatically go up just because the GDP goes up, but the currency exchange rate can't go up if the GDP doesn't increase...

6-8-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   How many times do you have to be told by Trump there is no Iranian influence in the formation of the Iraqi government ...You are not invited.  You are not welcome.  You are not wanted.  And you will never interfere with what we are doing says Donald Trump to the Iranian factions...We are forming your new government and we will tell you when you can have your new exchange rate. 

6-8-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   Look at who just told the world he is getting on a plane.  Al-Zaidi, prime minister of a country that cannot make payroll, its oil chocked off, and its central bank printing to cover the gap, has confirmed he will fly to Washington with a delegation behind him.  The cover story is investment and reconstruction...A bankrupt oil state does not fly to Washington to talk business it cannot fund...

6-8-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff    News about printing dinar to cover the budget gap was not true.  It was very misleading and inaccurate.  Article: "Printing currency is legally prohibited and does not reflect the nature of ongoing operations..."  The central bank is coming out telling you that.

6-8-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article: "The Central Bank of Iraq issues a clarification regarding the 'printing of 25 trillion dinars' to provide salaries" Quote:  "...there is a fundamental and important difference between 'discounting treasury bills' and 'printing currency'...discounting bills provides temporary financial liquidity...and is repaid when the bill matures...with strict adherence to its maturity dates...As for (printing currency), it is the issuance of new money without compensation that is injected directly into the economy, which leads to direct inflation and erosion of the currency’s value. It is not recovered and represents a permanent monetary burden...completely prohibited under the Central Bank of Iraq Law No. (56) of 2004. Therefore, the simplified description...as ‘printing currency’ does not reflect its true technical and financial nature.”

6-8-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ  [via PDK]   We know there is a change coming …we know there is a reset coming…we can see the pieces all around us. Central Banks are buying the metals. We just don’t know the exact timing. 

6-8-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   ... this effort in Iraq to get to the reinstatement of the dinar is a much, much broader effort than most know. It is only a small part of a bigger global reset. Iraq does not stand alone as they must comply with the international standards already set to make this reset work... 

6-7-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Iraq...dollars still clear through a New York account Washington can throttle, its banks still fight for the correspondent lines that connect them to the world, and its central bank still works under an oversight no normal country would accept. The price of getting out from under all of it is a set of books an auditor can trust. Clean the  corruption, take the guns off the militias, seat a cabinet the auditors trust, and the door that opened for Caracas is the door Iraq is walking toward.  
 
6-7-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff
 Redenomination means that a 1000 dinar note will be replaced by a 1 dinar note...'Oh, shoot!  He  just told us it's going to lop?!?' [No,] Let me finish.  All of this is based on a country's inflation.  Iraq has very low,  extremely low inflation...around 3%.  A country with inflation that low is not going to lop.  It's basic economics.  I have articles that state Iraq will have 2 currencies coexist together at the same value.  What does value mean?  It means what the dinar  is worth against a foreign currency such as the US dollar...So two different set of notes will coexist..Let's us a 25K note and a newer smaller note of 25...will share the same value against the dinar...If the rate was $3...just an example...a 25,000 note would  be worth $75,000.  A 25 note would be worth $75.  That's why I said redenomiation and not a lop. 

6-7-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article: "Al-Zaidi travels to Washington with businessmen and promises to inject $10 billion into the private sector"  Quote: "Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi announced on Saturday an upcoming official visit to the United States..."

6-7-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man   The Development Road Project is one of the big issues.  Everybody should take it as serious as I do because it's going to be those non-oil revenue streams to a scale that probably hasn't been seen in 50 years or more, probably a lot more...They're going from a rentier economy to a market economy.

6-7-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  I don't have a date.  I don't have a rate.  They do.  And I can say that proudly with confidence, they do.  Is it solid?  No.  It's dynamic on the events that are happening with the formation of Iraq.  And who's forming the government of Iraq?  We are.

6-7-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Iraq has a new government. It's functional but incomplete, and the hardest decisions are still  unresolved...What's still unresolved: Nine ministries remain unfilled  including  Defense, Interior, Planning, Culture, Higher Education, Labor, Migration, Housing, and Youth.  Defense and Interior are the two that matter most because they control the security apparatus and are directly tied to the weapons disarmament push. Washington refused to resume transfer of certain dollar assets to Iraq while pressuring Baghdad not to seat affiliates of Iran-backed militia groups in cabinet posts...Who fills Defense and Interior will signal more about this government's actual direction than any written policy commitment. 

6-7-2026   Newshound Guru Pimpy  This is the big group right here, the Popular Mobilization Forces.  If the United States can get them to fall under state control that would be huge.  They're the biggest problem over there in Iraq...Many of the groups still keep their own commands and ties to Iran, which is a no, no. That's not what Trump wants. He's trying to free Iraq from any control of Iran. 

6-7-2026   Newshound Guru Samson  Article:  "EXCLUSIVE : THE WHITE HOUSE WARNS THE AL-ZAIDI GOVERNMENT OF IRAN'S 'ENCROACHMENT' IN BAGHDAD"

6-7-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  We know the World Bank is providing $900 million to Iraq at a time when the world is in a little bit of trouble with the oil because they can't get it through the Strait of Hormuz.  All of a sudden the World Bank is providing the necessary finances to help Iraq provide alternatives to a massive global problem...When the World Bank moves with a 
$900 million check, things happen...When "the powers that be" get around the table and they decide something should happen because it is in the best interest of global economy shit happens...This $900 million is so crucial, not only to Iraq, but for the world...


6-7-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Everything needed/required to happen is happening right in front of our face.  Preparing to revalue.  Every freaking step.  You can't mention one thing that's not happening, not being discussed or mentioned.  Every possible freaking thing that's needed to be covered, done and performed is happening right now in our face to prepare towards the  revaluation...

6-7-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  This week every major armed faction in Iraq agreed to hand its weapons to the state, and Lebanon signed the identical deal on Hezbollah. One order, two capitals. An exception that survived 37 years and six US presidents, erased in a single news cycle. 

6-7-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article:  "The Prime Minister's advisor reveals the Al-Zaidi government's roadmap for strengthening the Iraqi dinar" Quote: "The Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, announced on Saturday, June 6, 2026, that the Ali al-Zaidi government has adopted a package of long-term reform measures to protect the purchasing power of the Iraqi dinar and curb inflation, ruling out the possibility of raising the value of the national currency through 'quick administrative decisions.' "

6-7-2026   Newshound Guru Ross  Iraq’s #1 focus right now is the economy.

6-7-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ  [via PDK]  ...some group folks and bond folks are telling me that they were told their target is June 8th. This is the new “magical date” that’s running around. I have at least 5-6 sources that gave me that date.


6-6-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Reform in Iraq used to be measured in years, which delivered zilch.  Al-Zaidi has done more in 19 days than his predecessors managed in a decade.  And all of it is leading to one thing.  The CBI still holds the IQD at 1300 to the dollar.  The dinar reprices when the books behind it can survive an audit...The audit has started...The government is the piece Baghdad still has to finish.  

6-6-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Question: "Why can’t Venezuela currency [Bolivar] exchange in the US for the current rate?"  US sanctions on Venezuela make it nearly impossible for American banks to transact in bolívars. Add in hyperinflation that's destroyed the currency's value, and there's simply no legitimate market for it here. It's not a lack of desire, but rather a sanctions wall.

6-6-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Question: "Do we know what the rate could possibly be?"  IMO somewhere around $3.80.  Not that exact number.

6-6-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  Question: "How long with the float occur?"  It depends on their economy.  Are they growing or are they becoming a disastrous bankruptcy country?  If it's growing, shoot, you'll see the Real Effective Exchange Rate, the REER, very quickly within a year.  That's what I think Iraq is going to got through, between 6 months to a year - KABOOM!  

6-6-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  I'm a little excited...Breaking news and excellent news.  The World Bank approves $900 million for Iraq.  This is financing.  It's approved money.  This money is designed to...help Iraq become more connected internally and regionally...This $900 million will enable the Development Road Project to come off without a hitch.  This is excellent  news...There's your interstate international transit hub.

6-6-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  The foundation built over the last few years is now being activated.  Al-Sudani was very successful in doing what he did.  It's like he passed off the baton to someone else who is just as qualified who's going to take us into the end of the game.  The stage is being set for even greater stability and for long-term progress...Greater stability, long-term progress, they're going to need to have these things in place to be able to support the value fo a Real Effective Exchange Rate into the future...

6-6-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   Everyone is disarming in Iraq this week, and almost no one is asking why now. The answer: you cannot route Iraq's oil money onto clean rails while the militias are still skimming it at the wellhead. Remove the guns first, then the money has somewhere honest to land. 

6-6-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]  We're going to create a new timeline...The...thing that we're getting that's really significant is we're under
standing that all currencies that we're looking to be revalued will show up on the Forex on Sunday night...at 8:30pm Sunday night, which is the seventh of June...That would actually be the re-evaluation the RV would essentially start with all the currencies appearing revalued on the foreign exchange, the Forex...sounds like we should get notified and get our 800 numbers to us on the eighth...

6-6-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ  [via PDK]   ...(Former connected contact)  always said we would most likely go to bed on a Saturday Night and wake up to a whole new world on a Sunday. If I had to guess…look at a Sunday.


6-5-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence The first American Airlines commercial flight from Miami to Caracas [Venezuela] in 7 years landed...The bolivar is back on official trading rails after a year off international markets. US crude imports from Venezuela rose from roughly 99,000 barrels per day in December to about 284,000 in January, a near-triple inside one quarter. The Caracas template is the named architecture: economic squeeze...The administration is running it again on a different country.

6-5-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Iraq still has a few things they have to do to join the WTO which come after the rate changes.  Iraq is still waiting for the rate to change, complete a few additional steps and tasks, then they can join the WTO.

6-5-2026   Newshound Guru Thom   A government exists. It's operational on 14 of 23 ministries. The two that determine whether Iraq actually gets control of its weapons — Defense and Interior — are still being fought over by Washington, Tehran, and the militias themselves. Until those seats are filled, the formation question isn't closed...They need it before the CBI can justify the rate to the IMF.

6-5-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   I just want the government formed and everything else will follow like a little doggie...Let's hope we see the government in a couple of weeks and then the monetary reform through a new exchange rate...by the speed of Trump...Things are happening so fast...There's only one direction.  There's only one landing spot, a new exchange rate.

6-5-2026   Newshound Guru Samson   Article:   "THE US CHARGE D'AFFAIRES AFFIRMS WASHINGTON'S SUPPORT FOR THE POLICIES OF THE GOVERNMENT HEADED BY AL-ZAIDI"

6-5-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  The shift toward a market economy is gaining momentum, and a managed REER looks increasingly inevitable as the foundation has strengthened and on an almost everyday actions taken. It may or may not happen overnight, but the pieces are aligning faster now.

6-5-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  In Samarra, a militia loyal to Muqtada al-Sadr lowered its own flag and handed the city to the Iraqi army. The first faction in the country to physically disarm to the state. Not a pledge, not a press release. A flag coming down with the generals in the room...For weeks this played as orders and signatures behind closed doors...A flag being withdrawn as a surrender to the army does not.  That is why this is the week that counts.  For 2 decades the rifle ran Iraq and the men holding it answered to Tehran...They governed the gun and the gun governed the streets...

6-5-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   One of the top former auditors with the IRS promised us we will be paying taxes.  If you guys want to risk not paying taxes, I would consult with a tax attorney for your best interest so you don't end up in jail...The level of money involved in this, if you're wrong...they're going to put you in jail quick.  They'll come after you quick.  The amount of money involved in this, they're going to want their percentage.  You're best off having the mindset that you do have to pay taxes so you don't end up in jail...You're better off playing it safe than playing it naive and ignorant...I would consult with an IRS attorney...  They will guide you in the right way. 
 
6-5-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]  ...Iraq...has their new Prime Minister...and...the Iranian influence that has been in the Iraqi banking system completely is finally removed, and that's a really good thing. So that is no longer an issue...I think that everything is moving forward as far as Iraq is concerned.

6-5-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Article: “PRIME MINISTER’S ADVISOR: IRAQ IS ON THE VERGE OF MAJOR ECONOMIC CHANGES UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF AL-ZAIDI“  Iraq is heading for a huge, radical Economic Transformation. I do not use this terminology lightly. If this holds to it promises this will lead us to what we want – the reinstatement of their dinar currency.

6-5-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ  [via PDK]  Article:  “Sulaymaniyah hosts the Delphi International Economic Conference with wide Iraq and international participation.”  This is scheduled for the 6th and 7th of June.  I have a couple sources in government in Iraq who says participants include the “Who’s Who” of economic figures from Iraq, Kurdistan and number of other countries will be there. My Finance Ministry contact is of the absolute, concrete belief that they plan on announcing their value changes at the end of this thing which is Sunday...I am hopeful this is accurate but take it a “RUMOR” and stay calm. 


6-4-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Question "RV this year?"  Jeff:  Absolutely.  IMSO I would say heck yeah this is the year.

6-4-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  The same week al-Zaidi started cleaning Iraq's books, the IMF sat back down with Venezuela for the first time since 2019, to begin returning billions in frozen reserves.  One system, deciding who it readmits. Iraq is in the same queue.

6-4-2026   Newshound Guru Pimpy  Article: "Powerful Iran-backed Iraqi militia says it will start handing its weapons to the state"   Say what!?!  ...I have to ask myself, would this even be possible if Iran wasn't having these problems with the United States?  Iran is running out of money.  These groups are getting paid but are voluntarily turning over their weapons.

6-4-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   Vietnam may be a socialist country however they create income like a capitalist country.  Here is where Iraq is missing the boat compared to Vietnam...Vietnam's tourism industry generated approximately $30 billion in 2025 and...expects tourism revenue to reach about $45 billion in 2026 with 25 million foreign visitors...If only Iraq could understand and act on the fact that Iraq can attract 5x that number...A tourist industry of that scale would transform the country's economy and automatically straighten the currency, increasing its value.

6-4-2026   Newshound Guru Clare   Article:  "The gap is widening... Why do Iraqis prefer money exchange over banks?" Quote:  "Money exchange and transfer offices in Iraq have witnessed a remarkable expansion in recent years...in contrast to a relative decline in reliance on government banks... According to experts, this expansion reflects a continuing gap between the citizen and the official banking system, related to the speed of completing transactions and ease of access to services, compared to traditional banking procedures that are still characterized by bureaucracy, overcrowding and a long completion time in some cases."

6-4-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   When the rate publicly changes, it'll hit the CBI's website first.  I would not go straight to Forex to see it... [Dinar Guru Note:  You can always see the official CBI dinar rate in the left column of this page. Dinar Guru Alert Members get multiple email alerts every time the CBI changes the rate.  If you're not a member, blue box at the top of this page - it's free to join.]

6-4-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Stop waiting on American lawmakers to greenlight an Iraqi central bank decision.  The IQD moves when Iraq's conditions align. Not when Washington passes a bill.

6-4-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   There is less and less resistance to the new exchange rate of Iraq's currency and the report is being brought to Washington D.C.  The size of this meeting is impressive.

6-4-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick  [Iraqi banker friend Aki update] All of Iraqi banking...AMF, IMF, EMF, US Treasury, WB, BIS, WTO, this is a big pow-wow at Trump's house.  Aki's boss definitely knows they're going to meet with Trump, Bessant, Rubio and Vance.  He was excited when he called.  He said, 'I'm headed to D.C.  I have to be there at this meeting because all of Iraq is giving their reports to D.C.'  Aki himself is a big deal in the monetary reform.  That's why he has to be in DC.  But his boss is a much bigger deal.  We are grateful to have his friendship.  His boss owns dozens of private banks and Aki is his partner...There is something big going on for sure.

6-4-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  The bribe was never the story. What al-Zaidi did with it was.  He turned down $200m to look the other way, put the bribe on live television, arrested the man who carried it, and built a council that refers the file straight to a judge.  Who clears the ground like that, unless you are setting a precedence for the future.

6-4-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  The rate change itself does not get approved by their parliament...Laws that are created or amended and get approved by parliament end up in the Gazette.  The rate change has nothing to do with the government.  It has to do with the banking division, being the central bank.  The rate change itself will never end up in the Gazette. 

6-4-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ  [via PDK]  Comment:  ...banking leaders from all over are headed to the U.S. and being told to raise their rates...  MarkZ:  Probably 20+ are already here in the US and already working on that. Iraq is already here with some key folks. Almost the whole global south that are friendly with the US are being pressured to raise their exchange rates in order to balance the playing field for trade. I have mentioned this before that the US is trying to pressure Vietnam to raise their exchange rate as it is way to artificially low. 

6-4-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]   we have been told a few days ago...I think it was Sunday, that we had notifications for Tier 4b coming, either Wednesday or Thursday...Thursday  seems to be in play still... Thursday is the fourth...Could we get notified and get started setting appointments?

6-3-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Question: "Are still among the belief that it is going to be $3.80?"   Jeff:  Yeah I think it'll be around somewhere in the vicinity of around $3.80...give or take 10 to 15 cents.

6-3-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Letting Iran-backed factions hold Interior or Defense is the one line Washington has drawn and the prize Tehran still wants, so the cabinet was left half-built to avoid answering it. Parliament was meant to take up the rest after the Eid al-Adha break in late May. That break has passed and the chairs are still empty...al-Zaidi is going after the factions' cash, their rifles, and their grip on Interior and Defense at the same time... Cut the money that buys the guns, take the guns, and lock the gunmen out of the ministries, and there is not much faction left to bargain with...The house is not clean yet. But for the first time in 22 years, you can see who is holding the broom.

6-3-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  Did you know you could negotiate the fees with your bank when the revolution happens?  A lot of people don't know that.  A lot of people will go to their bank and they'll be like, 'Okay, there's an 8% fee on foreign currency transactions.'  What if you had knowledge beforehand that you could actually negotiate that? What if you had knowledge that you could negotiate an 8% fee down to 5%.  How much money would that save you?  If you're talking about hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars, think about 3% going from 8% to 5%.  That 3% could amount to tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars.  These are little things people don't even know exist...Get prepared.  I don't want you to get screwed by the banks.

6-3-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  Will the Central Bank of Iraq keep the value of the IQD low like Vietnam continues to do?  Or will it allow the value to increase?  We don't know.  That's why [we're here] because we don't know.  Therefore we have to plan on many different levels to obtain and secure our IQD profits. 

6-3-2026   Newshound Guru Thom   Iraq has already moved the rate once. February 2023. 1,460 → 1,310.  No announcement.  No countdown.  No community consensus. The Central Bank of Iraq made a policy decision and it moved. Immediately...The mechanism isn't theoretical. It's already been used. The question was never can it move. The questions are when and how much?  So, let me ask you something. If the CBI moved the rate tomorrow with zero community warning , would you actually be ready?

6-3-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man   The security cleanup we see is gaining momentum...More major factions are publicly committing to lay down arms and integrate into state institutions.  We see an abundance of that today...This trend is accelerating.

6-3-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Information keeps stacking up, getting confirming...As long as you understand the critical aspects of the budget, you can have a very good idea of when the rate might change.

6-3-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]   OMAR: Iranian-backed television is saying something in Iraqi television.  It's owned by Iranian politicians.  They say they want to warn Iraq against increasing the exchange rate without measures to ensure citizens are not harmed.  FRANK:  That is the joke of the century.  Iranian television inside of Iraq is warning the CBI, warning Iraqi citizens about raising the value of the dinar?  Oh my goodness, that is so comical.  Obviously they don't want you to raise it.  They want to continue to steal it.  But those days are over with.  Here's the beauty about the  announcement ...Iran just admitted to the whole world Iraq is going to change the value of their currency and they don't like it.

The United States is making itself the teller...The digital dollar is being bolted to Treasury debt.  So every token the world issues buys more of it...turning the financial system from something the world had begun to lose faith in into something every resource rich nation must now pay to pass through...Iraq 
is the first place the new design is being tested.  Call it the blueprin

6-2-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  They cannot tell you they're going to raise [the Iraqi dinar] above zero.  Look at what Kuwait did.   Kuwait went from $3.50 down to 10 cents and then 3 months later went from 10 cents back up to around $3.50.  They did all that overnight...They went down overnight, back up overnight.  They did everything in one day, both directions.  Yes, they can do it.   Iraq went down from $3.22 to far below zero in one day, 24 hours.  So yes, they can do a 3% to 4000% increase in one day.  They  cannot and will not tell you what they're going to do.

6-2-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  In front of a delegation of Iraqi journalists, Prime Minister Ali Falih al-Zaidi told the room he had been offered a $200 million bribe to bury corruption inside Iraq's Oil Ministry...He took it to the press. The man who  carried the offer was already in custody. Adnan Mohammed Hammoud, Deputy Oil Minister for Refining Affairs and Director General of  the North Refineries Company, was arrested Friday evening...Communications Minister Mustafa Sand called him an "oil whale" and "the  main provider of money to parties."...Then al-Zaidi did the part that matters. He stood up a council, named himself its chair, and gave it the power to send a corruption file straight to a judge...This one action just showed you what Iraq is now capable of.

This is further confirmation that the execution phase is real. Diversification, private sector activation, and reducing oil dependency are no longer just talk — they’re becoming policy priorities under the new government.  A successful transition to a market economy is one of the strongest structural supports for a managed REER. You can’t sustainably strengthen the dinar long-term in a pure rentier system. The reforms we’re seeing are building the resilience needed for that next step.

6-2-2026   Newshound Guru Pimpy  ...Those Iranian backed puppets are screaming out one side of their neck they want the rate to change to happen, on the other side, they're doing things to suppress that from happening.  If they are removed, who's going to suppress the Iraq dinar?  The United States won't.  They're happy about the changes...That just leaves Iraq and their people in 
their Central Bank of Iraq.


6-2-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Question: "Can the government drag the rate change for a couple more years?"  Jeff:  No...because they've already done everything.  They've already told you the new government is going to lead Iraq into the next stage, next phase.  That is the international post rate change era...All the articles tell you reforms, taxes, 150+ laws - all of that is post rate change era...This is not going to drag out for more years.

6-1-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   Everybody wants this to happen now.  Are you kidding me?  In less than 2 months look what Trump has done.  He's brought security and stability into your country [Iraq] so that you can raise the value of your currency and give your citizens purchasing power and enter the international world and pay us back.  And guess what?  It's happening...!

6-1-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   Vietnam has this habit of keeping their currency value low.  We can only hope Iraq will not take on this personality and start a new wave of trying to keep its currency low as well.

6-1-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   There's a lot of Dinar Gurus...saying before Iraq passes their new budget for the year there has to be a new rate...I have been involved in this investment for too long and hear this every single year from the gurus that they can't pass the budget until there is a new rate.  Please do not believe that.  In theory it makes sense that yes they would have to have a new rate before they pass the budget but they've done it many times before...If you see the budget passed and there's no dinar revaluation that doesn't mean that's not going to happen this year...Keep that in mind.

6-1-2026   Newshound Guru Pimpy  The Mobilization Forces are targeting US institutions over there in Iraq.  That's not going to be tolerated.  The new prime minister is being asked to rein these people in.  I don't know if he can.  In the past, Iran supported them...The interesting thing...these proxy groups that are fighting on behalf of Iran...are running out of money...People say, people will only fight, not for a cause, it's only because they get a paycheck. We're going to find out how much of that is true once the money runs out and it's running out quick.  

6-1-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Tackling corruption is the number one thing they need to go international, revalue and so forth.  It's the number one requirement by the Central Bank of Iraq.  It's also the number one reason why the CBI hasn't revalued for the past 23 years.

6-1-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   The same logic runs through Baghdad...except there, the problem was never an honest price hidden on a ledger, but a currency deliberately held below its worth, kept down for years by a political class Washington did not trust to lift it.  This week the president tried again to place his own envoy over Iraq.  The cabinet that will finally raise the dinar began to take shape which is why the gold and the dinar belong together.  One government correcting the price of its metal while the other corrects the price of its money.  A single hand guiding both inside one week.   [Post 2 of 2]​

6-1-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  There is one market price for gold...set by the market not by any governments wishes.  The one place that price is not honored is on America's own books, where the Treasury still records the nation's gold at a number fixed back in 1970s, a small fraction of what the metal actually fetches today.  That gap between the pretend price on the ledger and the real price in the market was left there on purpose.  The president reached for it, asking that the gold in the vaults finally be counted.  Because before a government can put a new price on something it first has to prove how much of it there is.  When that number is corrected... more than a trillion dollars appears on the national balance sheet overnight ...This is what a revaluation is.  [Post 1 of 2...stay tuned]

5-31-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  If a suppressed foreign currency you hold increases against the dollar, the bank you exchange it through decides how much of the new rate you actually keep.  Many have been waiting years for this event.  Most are still unprepared.

5-31-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Iraq's thesis is a revaluation event. So a big adjustment that could happen over night.  But Vietnam's path looks more like a gradual climb over 12 to 16 months as the government opens up its markets... The roadmaps are a little different.

5-31-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  When you are in Iraq, your currency may be worthless to somebody in America, Great Britain, Australia or New Zealand but it's not worthless to you because it feeds you, it provides shelter, it provides transportation, gas for your car etc.  So us calling their currency worthless is not a wise decision because it's not worthless in Iraq... Many of you are holding a million to 10 million Iraqi dinars.  And you may feel broke, but you're only broke because of where you are at this particular time...

5-31-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  If the budget wasn't dependent on the rate change, they could have already submitted it.  But because it's a law and all aspects of that law must exist, such as the currency value it's calculated off of, if the currency value does not exist, they can't send it to parliament for approval.

5-31-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  What I find to be the trigger, the lynch pin to all of this is the HCL...The HCL definitely has to have a new rate.  They would have used 1300 or any sanctioned rate inside the last 20 years by now...But they never did...Because they are talking about it on a daily basis,...going to pass many of the laws of the HCL,...have not used any sanctioned rates...we're going to see a new rate.

5-31-2026   Newshound Guru Milita Man  The CBI explicitly stated they're preparing the banking sector for deeper integration into the global financial system...This is one of the strongest signals we've seen...The technical foundation for a credible Real Effective Exchange Rate (REER) is being strengthened right now after years of quiet preparation.  The banking sector is moving into execution phase.  This is genuinely very uplifting for me.  It shows the CBI is not waiting.  They are acutely building the  infrastructure needed for the next step.  I can't wait.

5-31-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Two militias have unified with the state in two days. The second was Iran's own Quds Force proxy. The machine that has held the dinar at the program rate for two decades is being switched off one circuit at a time.  Two FTO holdouts left standing alone. The rest are negotiating their terms. This is not the same story. This is not the same week.  The architecture is doing the work. The momentum is real.  Get a grip and focus on the positives.

5-31-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  The next major critical piece we have to see done before they can revalue is complete the formation of the government and the pending ministers.  That's the very next thing we have to see...They might call an emergency session of Parliament [to vote].  It can be random.

5-31-2026   Newshound Guru Ross  No one can predict the future exchange rate of IQD vs USD. We look to what happened in Kuwait.  We look at Iraq’s true wealth as a country based on their oil...I cannot throw out an exact rate.  I just know 1300 per USD is BS.

5-30-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Question "What are your thoughts on the Venezuela Bolivar?" I want to see how high their inflation is.  Before you even consider a country, you got to know their inflation levels.  It's looking like right now like they have hyperinflation...it reached 650% in March of this year.  There is no way a country is going to remove zeros from their currency.   They're adding zeros if they're hyper-inflated.   

5-30-2025   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Washington holds Iraq's frozen funds at the NY Fed and won't release them until the militias fold under one command. Disarmament is the gate the new rate sits behind. 

5-30-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  I find the HCL to be the #1 clear evidence that there is a new exchange rate and the fact that the HCL is top priority for the '26 budget only leads to common sense.  There's a new exchange rate.

5-30-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  We have to start thinking ahead of the dinar revaluation.  We have to start planning.  We can't  just look for dates and rates and then it happens and we're not prepared.  Because those who prepare are going to end up saving and growing a lot more money than those...who just wanted it to happen.  There's no plan.  There's no preparation, you take whatever fees the bank tells you.  You get emotional about it and you end up having a lot less than you probably should have...  

5-30-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   Analysis say Iraq is gearing up to become a major financial economic transportation hub.  Now don't fool yourself.  When Iraq's currency increases in value, so will the economics of the Middle East.  Wise people in the Middle East are pulling for Iraq's currency and the country of Iraq because Iraq really is the center of the Middle East...

5-30-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  There's a lot about the monetary reform of the Iraqi dinar that is being suppressed and not being told to you just yet...The next 72 hours is going to lay out a golden road map for [Iraq's] monetary reform.  But first it must start with the seating of [al-Kaidi's] government.

5-30-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   You have to bring some common sense to this.  They can't put new denominations of small currency out in the public where they risk the money getting stolen or photographed.  They can't risk those steps.

5-30-2026   Newshound Guru Ross   Iraq isn’t poor. It’s an oil superpower. 5th-largest proven reserves on Earth (147 billion barrels).   Lowest production costs globally.  Still HOLDing $100B in foreign reserves at the CBI.  Iraq can’t keep borrowing forever when its real wealth (oil in the ground + reserves) is massive (but trapped). The key to the revaluation is unlocking the wealth. This crisis is the justification for the clean break: IQD revaluation to actual asset-backed levels — not the artificial low rate tied to the old model...

5-30-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]   ...It's all coming together, but it doesn't look like we're going to get anything until the first couple of days of June, which would be Monday or Tuesday... We look forward to this coming to fruition, coming to an end.   

5-30-2026  Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   There is much progress being made in the planning for this radical economic transformation to bring Iraq in the direction we all need it to go.  My CBI contact has informed me that meetings are being held to discuss these plans now with the new prime minister, his finance committee and the US Treasury.

5-29-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Question:  "What's your take on the dong?"  I don't think any other currencies will revalue at this time, only the Iraqi dinar... They manufacture and export.  In order to make the exporting productive, they got to keep their currency value at a low value...For a communist regime dictator it doesn't do Vietnam any good at all to increase the value of their currency.

5-29-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen I believe the dinar is the very beginning of what is to come.  The dinar is just the starting line...I truly believe you're going to be able to 500x, 1,000x, 5,000x your initial investment from the Iraqi dinar.  You don't need millions of Iraqi dinar to reach a large wealth number.  I truly believe if you're obedient with the little, God's going to lead you to the right investments and further multiply it.

5-29-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  Iraq is on the cutting edge. They are in a position to ride the tide to the highest level of technology in finances because they're building, they're implementing at a time when major financial changes are happening in the world.  Make no mistake about it, Iraq is riding a wave.  You have to ask yourself, why is Iraq doing all of this?  Is it to support and almost worthless currency against the dollar? 

5-29-2026  Newshound Guru Jeff  They're talking more than they ever have about needing to amend a whole bunch of different types of laws.  Why?  Because the rate is about to change...
 
5-29-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  Foreign reserves...cover 12 month of imports while the international standard for trade capacity for foreign reserves is about 3 months.  Iraq is still, even under the circumstances, is doing well.  They still have gold...massive amounts of natural resources.  They're diversifying with many different venues consistency, hence they have been able to increase the income and revenue streams, exactly what the gatekeeper are looking forward to.

5-29-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  I'm thinking an awful lot about what's going on with this investment because there's so much information that is being revealed.  It's no longer the type of information that the enemy wants you to consume.  We know very well what Iraq is doing with their monetary reform.  They've confessed it.  They've shown you in every possible way, every angle, what they're about to do...They've eliminated a lot of the noise.  Where did the noise come from? ...Iran.

5-29-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  If you are waiting on the IQD to revalue, this is the story that matters. The rate does not break free until all the militias are unified with the state. And yesterday the second militia did just that, just like we told you the rest would. And this one was built, funded and trained by Iran's Revolutionary Guard. Two down. The dominos are falling.  The gangs blocking the rate just got smaller.

5-29-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Question:  "When we exchange our dinars for dollars in the US, where do dollars come from to pay for it?"  It's not funded.  You're thinking this is a funded step event by Iraq.  The dollars come from our country, our government, our treasury, our US Federal Reserve.  They come from us within the United States...All we're doing is a currency swap.  To get into this you traded dollars for dinar.  To exit out, you're going to trade dinars back in for dollars.  

5-29-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ  [via PDK]   Question:  Will we have immediate access to our funds?  MarkZ:  I am told that if you exchange through the redemption center/redeeming banks you will get instant access. But, if you go to a regular bank…and they send your currency off…it will take a couple of days. A redemption center is the same as a redeeming bank with a branch or office that the staff has been trained to exchange foreign currency and detect counterfeit etc…its a real bank that can process your currency right there. It will be a fairly simple process. 

5-29-2026  Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  Remember that they are moving ahead with the Development Road project, the port of Faw is already open and the ASCUNDA system it implemented and just needs to finalize districts in Kurdistan for full implementation. So lot’s of the ground work is already laid. We also previously learned about these Financial and Banking reforms and so my opinion is...it too is already mostly done...  I will tell you...this can be done quickly if they get serious about it, which it sounds like they are...All we can do is sit back and see what they do.   [Post 2 of 2]

I especially like it because it gives us a benchmark to go by. We know already that Iraq has lowered already the dependence on oil but only by about 5-10% over the last couple decades. That’s not a lot of progress.  So, this is going to be a drastic change, a huge change in thinking for Iraq...   [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]  
5-28-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   I'm speaking for the United States, when you go to exchange your dinar, the bank is automatically going to fill out a form and submit it to the IRS on your behalf.  We're not going to be able to exchange through banks and brokers and not have it reported to the IRS.  The amount of dinar we exchange will be reported to the IRS...This won't be a secret to the IRS. 

5-28-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  Some argue that the HCL (Hydro-Carbon Law) has to have a rate before the HCL gets passed.  It allows there to be distribution of oil revenues between Kurdistan and other regions of Baghdad [Iraq].  It is important.  It's something they've been negotiating since 2007, almost 20 years...I think with this new prime minister, it seems like that law is at the top of the agenda to get passed...Is the rate change going to be before the law is passed?  Is the law gong to pass first and then there's a rate change? It's like the chicken and the egg. 

5-28-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  The militia integration file is the gate before any Iraqi monetary reset. It has been stuck for 18 years...The first Iraqi militia just moved under federal command...The Sadr family handed it in voluntarily from inside the only Shia clerical house in Iraq that predates every faction now standing armed...The armed factions sitting inside the Popular Mobilization Forces control more than 70 oil fields and run between $1 to $3 billion a year in fuel oil smuggling.

5-28-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  The monetary reform process is at a point right now where they're not pulling any punches.  Everybody knows what's going on and its being whittled down...to create what we seek, purchasing power for the Iraqi dinar...The security and stability that was needed for the monetary reform to bring that purchasing power to the Iraqi citizens is beautiful right now...Every day the campaign to teach the Iraqi citizens about what they're about to receive gets louder and louder and more  profound...Things are looking incredibly good.

5-28-2026   Newshound Guru Samson Article:"PRIME MINISTER'S ADVISOR : IRAQ IS ON THE VERGE OF MAJOR ECONOMIC CHANGES UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF AL-ZAIDI"

5-28-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   The United States UFO document shows us more than anything else...that governments do tell stories.  They sometimes mislead their citizens.  That is the connection between UFOs and the IQD because the Central Bank of Iraq right now within the last 30 days has reported that they have no intention of revaluing the Iraqi dinar.  But wait... we do not make reports on...what people say.  We're smarter than that.  We report and come to conclusions based upon what people do.  Here's what Iraq is doing and analysts are pointing it out.  While they're saying the IQD, they have no intentions of revaluing it, at the exact same time, they are accelerating banking reforms.  They are implementing digital finance initiatives and modernization...

5-28-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff    Things have tremendously, significantly changed since the new government's been in.  They're preparing to revalue ...Because the new government takes Iraq to the next stage and the next phase.

5-28-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  Over the past 48 hours we've seen a remarkable convergence of signals across political, financial, digital and economic fronts.  The government under the prime minister Al-Zaidi is hitting the ground running with clear execution focus.  He is a technocrat.  He's taking charge now over the foundation Al-Sudani put in place...all advancing at the  same time...

5-28-2026   Newshound Guru Thom   Iraq's new PM has until the end of this week to seat 9 ministers — including Defense and Interior. Iran-backed militias want in. Washington says no.  If you're holding dinar — who do you think wins this standoff, and what does it mean for Iraq's future?

5-28-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  I have never been more positive about the Iraqi dinar revaluing as I am right now.  However...we have to watch things play out...Things are positive.  Things are moving.  We're watching things play out right before our very eyes.  We're watching all the Iranian corruption in the country of Iraq slowly but surely get removed.  Everything is working in our favor. 

5-28-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   The Iraqi cabinet itself is still incomplete.  Al-Zaidi has filled 14 of 23 cabinet seats since May 15th.  Defense and interior remain open.  Those nominations go to parliament when the chamber returns from EID recess in June.  The same week the disarmament committee starts certifying which factions walked under federal authority and which are still standing outside the law.  Sadr put the first name on the list.  The rest should follow in June.

5-28-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Banking reforms...is getting talked about and getting ready to be done because the rate is about to change and Iraq is about to go international...Everything in Iraq is waiting for the rate to change.  That's why Iraq has to plan all of its events around the timing of the rate change...Everything in Iraq right now is pending for the rate to change.  
 
5-28-2026   Newshound Guru tishwash   Article:  "Former MP: The government faces two paths: borrowing or raising the exchange rate."  Quote:  "He indicated that "the government will most likely move towards raising the exchange rate in the upcoming budget in order to address the existing inflation and the deficit in the federal budget, and to ensure that the economic situation does not collapse." 

5-28-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ  [via PDK]   Question:  Will we have immediate access to our funds?  MarkZ:  I am told that if you exchange through the redemption center/redeeming banks you will get instant access. But, if you go to a regular bank…and they send your currency off…it will take a couple of days.  A redemption center is the same as a redeeming bank with a branch or office that the staff has been trained to exchange foreign currency and detect counterfeit etc…its a real bank that can process your  currency right there. It will be a fairly simple process. 

5-28-2026   Intel Guru Bruce  [via WiserNow]  ...good sources... said we would have a green light for Tier 4b, that's us, Internet Group, in conjunction with the ISO 20022 [enabling seamless communication between banks, payment systems, and other financial institutions] on Thursday...we could get notifications on Thursday, exchanges as early as Friday... or get notified by the weekend, Saturday, and then power right through Sunday? It looks like...a plan is for that to happen, for us to go. We believe that we can get started here Thursday, Friday, notifications and exchanges Friday, Saturday. That's looking very good based on what I'm hearing.
5-27-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Question: "Do we need pre-existing banking relationship to redeem our currency?"  No you just need your currency.  You go to the bank and exchange.  You don't need receipts either.  Receipts are for tax purposes.  Banks exchanging your currency are not going to do your taxes for you. 

5-27-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  I truly believe the Iraqi dinar is going to revalue.  I truly believe it's going to be a once in a lifetime event.  I truly believe if you're involved or if you hold the Iraqi dinar currency...you have been chosen, ordained, to participate...If you believe that...then what good is it to have a bad attitude?  Or be annoyed or be angry or be upset in the times where it seems like it's not happening or it hasn't happened on our timeline...We don't have to wait until the Iraqi dinar revalues to have joy...to be happy...to celebrate life...I have to control my emotions and my thoughts and my peace and my joy in the waiting times just like you do as well...

5-27-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  Here's the currency path we are looking at for the IQD currency adjustment...Once Iraq increases its GDP, lowers its unemployment rate, completes banking reform so their banks can globally connect and satisfies the IMF's recommendations to create consistent streams of income outside the oil industry, then Iraq will get a green light to join the global market.  This is when Iraq will have the option to join the Forex market.  This is when we can realize a return on our IQD investment based on how the currency does on the open market. 

5-27-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Iraq does not publish revaluation announcements prior to an event. The CBI does not telegraph rate moves. No Iraqi institution is going to post a calendar on social media for you to follow...The move arrives the same way Iraq's last 3 monetary moves arrived. Overnight. On a single CBI statement. 

5-27-2026   Newshound Guru Clare   Article quote:  "Saleh said...the Central Bank of Iraq enjoys independence and does not receive orders from the government in its work, but it coordinates through the Ministerial Council for the Economy, which is headed by the Minister of Finance,”

5-27-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   They really don't have anything left to do...There's a lot of comments like, 'what's the delays?  What's taking so long?'  There is no delays in this other than the Iran war, waiting for a new regime to come in.  That was a delay.  Overall there's not a lot of delays.  What it is, is they have scheduled dates for the rate change...Bankers schedule  everything.  That's what we're waiting on...Agreements are reached.  Everything is ready to go.

5-27-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  Question: "Do all the militia and the PMF have to be dismantled for this to go forward?"  Yes...We're so close to getting rid of all of them.

5-27-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man   Alaq has been firm and confident ruling out devaluation.  He's been saying it numerous time which is fascinating because they can't tell you about a revaluation.  That is not in the cards.  They're not going to tell us a time and date.  I don't care how many people talk about that.  They're just not going to do that.  But we can see forward movement.

5-27-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  I've held to this belief, we're not going to see the dinar revalue until there's some type of agreement with Iran, finalization to all of this.  I don't think there's going to be any revaluation until that happens ...It sucks especially for us who want this to happen yesterday.  But it is what it is.  We have to let it play out...

5-27-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff    All that remains in Iraq is roughly 20 to 40 trillion dinar.  When they delete the zeros, the 20 to 40 trillion dinar becomes 20 to 40 billion dinar.  The central bank does not give two craps about their M1 money supply because most of that is outside the country and it's not usable outside the country.  All it does is become a Basil III asset in the countries that have that currency.  That's why they don't care [about the dinar we hold].

5-27-2026   Guest Guru Ross    You should be extremely ecstatic about the news coming out of Iraq right now regarding IQD...The Global Currency Reset is unfolding in real time...The timeline we’ve watched for years finally aligns. Currencies RV,  XRP velocity explodes, and the new system goes live at the flip of a switch...The Golden Age is literally right around the corner... Iran War ends → Peace in the Middle East...The Strait of Hormuz pressure lifts. Oil routes reopen. The old petrodollar chokehold breaks for good.   HCL passes, new government locks in, CBI flips the switch. Reserves + diversified exports finally support a real rate. The 23-year wait ends...Iraq revalues the dinar...Life is good...This is the Global Currency Reset unfolding right in front of us...We are almost there. 

5-27-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ  [via PDK]  In Iraq: “Nina;s Economic Specialist: In light of the current reality, Economic reforms have become a economic necessity.“  ...to me this means this crisis has forced them off of “stuck”. Off of this endless loop that has been taking forever. This conflict [with Iran] has forced Iraq to finish or accelerate a lot of the economic reforms... I do believe this conflict…while its ugly...forced us closer to the finish line. 

5-26-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   You're selling yourself short on 1 to 1.  I'm more of a $3+ to 1 because I believe...this is a reinstatement.  A reinstatement takes it to $3 to 1 not 1 to 1.

5-26-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  The Development Road Project is massive. They haven't stopped.  They keep completing it while this tension has been out there.  They keep showing results and they're moving forward...We're talking about global trade.  There's a lot of big money out there.  There's a lot of pressure...Those tires are definitely going to hit the pavement and it's going to rock and roll.

5-26-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  The HCL profit share, once signed, decides whether resource revenue is captured at the federal layer, the regional layer, or distributed per capita. None of the major comparable models hand the entire upside to citizens directly. Norway compounds it. Saudi Arabia reinvests it. Alaska distributes a fraction. Iraq's draft will land somewhere  in that range. Iraq has the wealth. The disbursement model is the remaining decision.

5-26-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  How long will they allow us to exchange our 3-zero notes?  Not only Iraqi citizens but us outside  of Iraq...for a higher value?  These are the questions we as a team are dealing with now.  These are the most wonderful questions of our study because they need to be asked now...  

5-26-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  Question:  "Why am I going to pay taxes?  Why am I going to set aside taxes?"  For those of you who are not going to pay your taxes, it's not going to be a good ending for you.  I don't know where you're getting your information from, who you're listening to?  I'm planning on setting aside 50% right out of the gate just to be safe to make sure everything is handled.  For those of you who think you're not going to have to pay taxes or they're going to get rid of the IRS in the next 12 months, I'm sorry.  It's very foolish.  I really hope you do not plan on doing that. [Dinar Guru Note: Consult your tax and asset protection professionals to determine the right taxes for your unique circumstances.]

5-26-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   I've worked at the Federal Reserve Bank for 5 straight years.  I've also done a ton of work in banks.  If [the CBI] put the [lower] notes in banks prior [to the rate change], they can't risk staff taking pictures of the new denominations.  If the staff knew all these new lower denominations were getting put into the banks they risk the banks getting held up and the new notes getting stolen.  They can't stock random ATMs sitting out in the middle of the public area getting broken into and having currency notes stolen...You have to use common sense.

5-26-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  I too want to get my hands on the Venezuelan currency.  Experts are telling us investing in the VES, Venezuela's currency [the bolivar] is not a good idea.  And we understand that.  The currency keeps decreasing against the dollar. [We] will keep you updated on exactly what's going on in Venezuela and when we may should absolutely engage in getting our hands on the currency.  Right now it's decreasing.  We expect it's going to go up.  We do not expect it's going to be another Iraqi situation where it's going to take years...

5-26-2026   Newshound Guru Thom You've probably heard that Iraq and Vietnam HAVE TO revalue together because of their deep economic ties. Nobody ever explains what those ties actually are.  Here's why.  Because there aren't many.  Their primary trade relationship today is food for oil. During the Cold War there were closer economic ties. Today they are two separate economies on two separate trajectories. Two separate events. This is why I do my own research.  It's not hard.  When the dinar moves, what do you plan to do with it in the first 72 hours?

5-26-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man   The CBI has strong reserves, a high coverage ratio, and is actively pushing banking reforms, digital transformation, and diversification. The new government is also coordinating fiscal and monetary policy more closely now. These are the exact tools needed to weather economic storms and protect the dinar’s value. The last three years is  evidence of that! 

5-26-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  The CBI has spent the last 18 months pulling notes from circulation...USD cash imports cut from $14 billion to $4 billion. 95% of the system on the electronic platform. 79 commercial banks queued for digital licenses. The project to delete three zeros contracts the IQD float from 93 trillion to 93 billion when the rate moves - and every three-zero note international investors are holding gets cleared in the same instant. Iraq has already laid the concrete on this foundation.

5-26-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  They're screaming at you from so many different angles that rate is about to change.  It's not a secret.  All of this information came forward since the new government has been in position.  Remember they told us it'll be the new government that introduces Iraq to the next stage, next phase...That means when they've gone international.

5-26-2026   Guest Guru Ross   In an XRP world, the Global Currency Reset is destiny.  Pre-RV, liquidity pair issues hit hard for hyper-inflated currencies attempting to make use of XRP.  You can technically move a pile of worthless dinar through XRP…But why would anyone on the other end actually want it?  Even with XRP as the bridge, the IQD side still needs real market makers. Right now those pools are shallow.  Slippage is a real risk on exotic pairs.  Post-RV? The problem disappears. The revaluation floods the dinar with real global demand. Liquidity providers jump in — because it’s now a strong currency...XRP supercharges the RV by making that powerful dinar instantly global...The RV loads the train with real wealth — turning Iraq into a global powerhouse and exploding your dinar’s purchasing power...the intel lines up perfectly:  Banking reforms in Iraq + XRP corridors opening + the rate change...  “We are so close.” is an understatement.

5-26-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ  [via PDK] ...$4.8101...is the rate that many...have seen...We have definitely been seeing this for quite some time. I am of the mindset that this is the rate we will see.

5-26-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Now let’s get on with some of the really good news that Iraq is telling us that should be our expectation for this next phase that Iraq keeps talking about.  Next phase?  This means the future phase under this next prime minister...if they can pull off from what they are talking about doing, to what they actually do, we will see what we want too - the reinstatement...I am told by my CBI contact we need to watch these developments with Iran carefully as they are key for Iraq to move ahead into this next phase. Completion of this next phase is going to drive what we want. 

5-25-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Question:  "Do you believe there is such a thing as 'contract rate'?' "  I'm not into anything 'contract rate'.  I don't care about contract rate.  To me that's nothing.

5-25-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   It may be more around $1.15 to $1.20 against the dollar when it first comes out.  As the international basket floats, [The Untied States] will be by [Iraq's] side, not pegged to [the dinar] but instead paired with it so that [it] has the same value internationally.  People will want [the dinar] as badly as they want the American dollar.  Then the final conversation ...would be how high do they cap this float.  IMO somewhere between $4.00 and $4.25 is what we calculated.

5-25-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence    A revaluation directly raises the purchasing power of every Iraqi household that holds dinars or earns wages in dinars. Imports become cheaper. International medical care and education become accessible. Remittance corridors invert.

5-25-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  What we're seeing is not the same as it was 15 years ago.   It's not even close.   It's very exciting to see everything tying in...

5-25-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  I would highly speculate that when this does happen, we're probably going to have about 3 months, 90 days.  You don't have to be running to your bank the same day or even the next day and making irrational decisions and rush the process only to come home and I'm like here's how you could save X amount of money on the spread fees or X amount of money doing this.  You're like, crap, I already exchanged and that cost me tens of thousands of dollars...

5-25-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  The Development Road Project... which is the transportation corridor that will carry cargo and people from the Grand Port of Fa in southern Iraq near Basra to the Turkish border...will reduce unemployment, improve finances and will provide a consistent $4+ billion in annual revenue.  It will automatically boost Iraq's GDP.  Will this change the IQD exchange rate?  Will there be a currency adjustment?  Probably...This new corridor will...connect the Gulf states, Turkey and Europe.  This is major.

5-25-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Does Iraq have to have a fully completed formed cabinet to change the rate?  Possibly.  It could be perceived as a level of stability in this.  

5-25-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ  [via PDK]  The chatter has been unreal this weekend. Rumors hit hard and heavy over the weekend that the Treasury was told it would be a “go” last Friday and got the ball rolling and started the Process…I have not been able to vet it because it was over the weekend and a holiday today. ….We will see what is real...this was from a number of different sources... It will probably be later tomorrow when we can properly vet things. 

5-25-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Question: "Do we need every minister voted on and given confidence to see a rate change?" NO, WE DON'T. - THIS IS THE OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT THE OTHERS WILL BE ADDED LATER.

5-25-2026   Intel Guru Frank26    Kuwait is for this [dinar rate change] because...if the Iraqi dinar goes up so will the Kuwaiti dinar.  That is another form of revaluation of a different currency...

5-25-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  $1B to $3B a year. That's the fuel-oil smuggling economy built on top of the missing HCL. PMF brigades control 70+ oil fields across Nineveh and Salah al-Din. Iranian crude laundered as Iraqi product, sold into Asian markets...Petraeus walked into [Baghdad] 10 days ago with a plan to force the HCL that has been stuck in parliament for 19 years...It does not wait through June...Things are definitely heating up.

5-25-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  We're watching history unfold...Over the last 24 hours Iraq has shown remarkable web of coordinated progress... There are a lot of things taking place...It isn't just about Iraq but yet it is about Iraq...Al-Zaidi is not waiting around. He's been executing with a purpose... The convergences we've followed for years are no longer separate  threads ...We're in one of the most exciting and important windows I think we've ever seen.

5-25-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   You have to admit since the new administration came in, the temperature and pressure on the rate change itself and getting the rate change done has tremendously escalated and increased.  That's not coincidental because they told you that it will be the new administration that enters Iraq into the next phase, next stage.

5-25-2026   Guest Guru Ross   Iraqi Dinar Revaluation was NEVER Possible Until the Strait of Hormuz Was Dealt With!  Imagine holding the Dinar for 23 years thinking it could revalue any day. What if it actually did? You’d have cashed out years ago, retired on a beach with a margarita… but what if the Strait closed after your exchange?  Iraq’s oil exports via Hormuz collapsed 89% in April alone — slashing 90% of government revenue. You do the math. What oil revenue would be backing that newly revalued Dinar? Exactly.  Nothing. And that’s precisely why you’ve waited this long. Nothing could have sustained the new value. Iraq’s diversification away from oil revenues will not be solved anytime soon. The fact that the Strait of Hormuz is closed right now should have you feeling electric about your investment -- resolving this is literally the #1 prerequisite to a revaluation.

5-25-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]   I had heard at least a week ago...that they want this done by the end of May. ...I got information... from very good sources ...that says looks like we could get notified any time from Memorial Day to the end of the month, exchange between Memorial Day and the end of the month... I do believe this is this is coming right around the corner...


5-24-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Banks have nothing to do with your taxes.  They just exchange foreign currency.  It's all they do.

5-24-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  The volume of emails I have been getting on trust structures, foundation mechanics, banking corridors, and country-specific deployment has gone up sharply over the last month. People holding IQD, VND, ZIM, VES who are starting to think seriously about what happens when the basket pays out - and what the home-side tax position looks like...The questions are getting more specific, the stakes are getting more personal, and the timing pressure is real now that we are closer to the event than we have ever been.

5-24-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen I really want you guys to start thinking about preparing and planning and getting your financial house in order because I truly believe the Iraqi dinar is just the beginning.  If you steward properly, if you protect your money properly, if you invest it wisely, I truly believe you're going to be able to 100x, 500x to 1,000x your initial dinar investment.  I truly believe the dinar is just the beginning of your financial journey.  I'm excited.  It's looking like things are close...we have to be grounded.  We have to be rooted.  We have to control our emotions.

5-24-2026   Boots-On-The-Ground Guru Omar  When we used to get the HCL payments, it was a yearly check.    It wasn't a monthly thing.  It was a yearly check and you usually got it in the last quarter between October and December.  So we got a check for a yearly amount...That's how we get paid on HCL, one payment a year.

5-24-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff    The budget is dependent on the rate changing.  Why?  Because the budget is calculated off the currency value.  The budget is a law.  In order to approve a law, all aspects of it have to exist, such as the currency value that it was calculated off of...In order for the government to get the budget approved, the rate has to exist...

5-24-2026  Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   The UK, Germany, and Switzerland are all making financial commitments with and to Iraq...This is great.

5-24-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   Who appointed Alaq?  Maliki.  Maliki was a crook.  He got kicked out because he was stealing billions of dollars.  Maliki went to Alaq and he says, I want you to siphon...skim off the top, off the bottom, in the middle...We're doing this through the CBI auctions. We set this up perfect.  They can't do anything about it...This is legal...But it didn't work because you got caught...IMO five days ago, you got a phone call didn't you Alaq?  Somebody told you, US Treasury and some other people from the 8th floor of the CBI...'Mr. T wants me to go to the United States of America and Frank26 says we're going to have the exchange rate before they let me go.' 

5-24-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  CBI Governor Ali al-Alaq told the Sin Dialogue Forum in May 2026 that cash imports of US dollars into Iraq have been cut from $14 billion to $4 billion, with roughly 95% of dollar sales now moving through the electronic platform rather than the cash currency-auction window that existed a year earlier. 

5-24-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Article:  "At the start of the week...a new update on dollar exchange rates in Iraq"  They don't tell you what the update is.  They don't tell you what's changing or happening and what the new update's going to be.  At the start of next week, there's some kind of brand new update on dollar exchange rate.

5-24-2026   Guest Guru Ross   Financial disclosures in Iraq are moving faster and with more immediate emphasis than typical under the new government. Ask yourself why that is...there seems to be a bit of a rush going on with Iraq’s new government…Kinda like IQD has been coiled up for a while. Don’t be surprised ...to see real, unstoppable, lightning-speed progress on a daily basis.

5-24-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]  I was told that Wednesday...that we would have rates on bank screens and redemption center screens. We did get confirmation that we have 18 currencies ...currently on redemption center screens, and probably the same amount on bank screens...Now these are rates that are continually trading up and my instinct is to think that they want to continue to trade these currencies up to where when we go in for our exchanges we'll get better rates than they have right now...I'm not concerned about the rates – I know the rates at the redemption centers...and we know that the dinar holders have a contract rate established by President Trump at redemption centers, so we're going to be in great shape...

5-24-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Article:  "PARLIAMENT IS MOVING TO AVOID A “PARALYSIS” SCENARIO AND AIMS TO FINALIZE THE OIL, GAS, AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS LAWS"; “POLITICAL CONSENSUS PAVES THE WAY FOR THE PASSAGE OF THE OIL AND GAS LAW.” Quote:  “The Iraqi Parliament is preparing to introduce the draft oil and gas law in the coming period, amid indications of a political consensus among most blocs to pass it."  ...the Oil and Gas Law is not yet passed but it certainly looks like a slam dunk very soon...Nice! 


5-23-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   I think it's going to be a reinstatement.  Here's why.  You have to look at what devalued the currency, US sanctions.  When US sanctions were applied on Iraq, that brought the currency value far down...So what happens when you take the sanctions off?  It reinstates.  It goes back to where it was back in '03...$3.22...I'm more around the $3.80 camp...around there.  

5-23-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  The Iraqi dinar is going to revalue.  I believe we are very close to finally seeing it happen.  But that doesn't take away that this is a very lonely journey.  Most people don't believe in this.  I don't talk about the Iraqi dinar with anyone...I have people in my life, family members, that think it's a joke.  I have a family member who is a bank manager and he doesn't believe in it.  He's like, "No, it's foolish.  It's not real."  And that's okay...It takes a great deal of faith to invest in a war-torn country that is not a democratic country...filled with corruption...  

5-23-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  The fundamentals are improving in Iraq and the system is ready for bigger monetary steps.  That's what they're doing.  They're making sure everybody understand what they can do is plausible but they have plausible deniability that they didn't tell you this [RV/RI] was going to happen because a lot of people are going to be shocked.  The people that are in the parallel market are going to be really shocked.  

5-23-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Iraq is not devaluing the IQD or reducing its citizens' purchasing power.  What they are building says the exact opposite.

5-23-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   There is a paradigm shift that is occurring inside of Iraq because of the dynamics of the monetary reform that will lead to the explosion of the economic reform... 

5-23-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   Currencies on the open market move constantly based on supply, demand, exports, interest rates, economic strength, political stability and investor confidence...There is no true global market price for the IQD...The IQD is an exotic currency... 

5-23-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Question:  "Do you think it will be a reinstatement or managed float?"  It's going to be both.  It'll come forward as a managed float after the reinstatement. 

5-23-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Vietnam [VND]...I anticipate it will grow in value over a year or two. 

5-23-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  We are simply waiting and speculating and trying to figure out when is the revaluation of the Iraqi dinar going to happen?  What is the rate going to come out at?  Is it going to be 50 cents, 10 cents, a dollar, $3.70? It's sometimes fun to speculate...2026, I think there's a high probability and strong argument we could make for it happening this year...I believe the most optimal month for the dinar revaluation is going to be in August... 

5-23-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  The diversification that Iraq has attained over the last three years under Al-Sudani has been amazing and set the stage.  They couldn't do this all overnight.  They had to have things in place...
   
5-23-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  When the CBI announced the move from 1,460 to 1,300 on February 7, 2023, it executed overnight on a single announcement. The mechanical capacity to reprice exists. What has been missing is the architectural readiness to do it without losing control of the parallel market response. That architectural readiness is what 2025 and 2026 built.

5-23-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   The government is done.  Now they're ready to revalue...I don't think there's any more delays in this.

5-23-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   A lot of people are betting on this weekend.  I don't know where it's going to go this weekend.  My contacts trained at wealth management are on call [Saturday] but off on Monday.  They also told them they can change that at any moment.

5-23-2026   Guest Guru Ross   Article Quote:   "Kurdistan Region PM Masrour Barzani on Thursday received Bakr al-Samarrai, special advisor for Iraqi PM Ali al-Zaidi, where the pair placed emphasis on developing coordination between their governments and resolving outstanding disputes..."  HCL is the “elephant in the room”.  If we are about to witness unstoppable lightning-speed  progress toward the revaluation of IQD then I would expect this meeting with the KRG PM to be fruitful.  HCL requires a new rate, a new rate does not require HCL. Keep that in mind as you watch the progress of HCL versus the progress of Iraq’s banking sector and budget.

5-23-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]  ...Information says that we would get notifications Saturday night, late, like before midnight, or Sunday morning early, like two 3am...Then we got another piece that said Tuesday...Now I was interpreting that to mean that we would get notified late Saturday night or early Sunday mornings – set appointments  over Monday. Start  our exchanges Tuesday. Okay,  there’s  our three day weekend...realistically, I don't know that that's a requirement, but...I think we need a three day weekend... 


5-22-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff    Iraq is waiting for the rate to change to finish the last few final remaining steps to join the WTO.

5-22-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   I am not a financial adviser.  I am here speculating that the Iraqi dinar is going to revalue in the near future...

5-22-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man I don't hype things...It's just real raw data we have collected...Experience shows we can take all this data and show just how complex this information is and has been for so many years...It's different.  In the last three years we've seen the complexity come to light. We've tracked Iraq's economic rebuild through CBI reports...IMF reviews... and  physically on the ground reforms.  What we're witnessing now, it's not speculation...We seen digital overhauls...e-government...ASYCUDA systems ...tokenized commodities...This is effectively like a new world financial order that's taking place...

5-22-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  123 days until the FTSE Russell upgrade to EMERGING MARKET STATUS for the Vietnamese Dong.   September 21, 2026. That's not a guru date. That's an institutional calendar event.

5-22-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  The bolivar is back on dollar settlement rails. US crude imports from Venezuela near-tripled in one quarter. Trump put it on the wire...- the spirit is back, the rigs are going up.  Iraq is up next...Finance is the one that pressures the central bank on the rate...

5-22-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Question:  "Do you think they will give you more than a 30-day window to cash in?"  They've given us two factual historical examples in the past where they gave us 90 days.  IMO to your question is 90 days.

5-22-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   They can pass laws right now...because it's not a caretaker government.  It's not a fully seated government but it is a seated government.  2/3 can pass laws right now.

5-22-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   The governor of the Central Bank of Iraq has warned Iraq is facing a critical and real chronic budget deficit.  According to him the problem is becoming structural because Iraq remains heavily reliant upon oil revenues.  The IMF has been telling Iraq for months and months that you've got to strengthen your other streams of income.  This is what we've always feared...We all know Iraq's oil revenue dropped significantly...The governor also stated the central bank is focused on maintaining stability in the Iraqi dinar and denies rumors of any planned changes to the exchange rate policy.  Of course he has to say that.  He's supposed to say that and we're supposed to believe him.

5-22-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]   IMO our worst case timeline is within 3 months and 1 to 1...I still think it could go this month…but imo anytime before July 4th. I would not be surprised to see something over this long 3 day weekend. 

5-22-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  I believe there are still a few things that need to happen before the Iraqi dinar revalues...What kind of time frame that puts us on, no one really knows...We can only speculate, look at the news to...make a hypothesis...I do think this year 2026 is a very high probability.  But certain things have to play out before then.

5-22-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man   The conditions for a managed REER adjustment are the best we've seen in a long time.  The convergences are powerful and happening simultaneously...The last 48 hours have delivered consistent purposeful momentum and movement...The future looks bright.

5-22-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   The new prime minister has been very verbal and outspoken with a level of urgency since Saturday.  He wants this done.  He knows it needs to get done.  He also knows he can't do a darn thing till the rate changes.  His hands are tied.  He's boxed in a corner till the rate changes.

5-22-2026   Guest Guru Ross   New government (Zaidi incoming) + 2026 budget + HCL = the exact window CBI has been waiting for to execute monetary reform. When HCL passes, the new rate goes live because the law requires the stable, internationally viable dinar to be enforceable. HCL passing is the trigger event that forces the CBI’s hand on rate reform.  By the way, the meeting with the Fed and Treasury to advance Iraq’s banking reforms (immediately after Trump backed Al-Zaidi formed a new government) is scheduled in days — not weeks. The days of IQD RV delays are OVER!  [Post 2 of 2] 

5-22-2026   Guest Guru Ross   Why HCL = New IQD Rate?  HCL literally cannot function without a revalued Dinar. The law unlocks massive new oil contracts, FDI, and revenue splits between federal gov + Kurdistan. Those deals are priced in billions of dollars. At 1,300 IQD per $1, everything is absurdly expensive and unstable for investors and local partners. Trillions of dinars for billion-dollar contracts = accounting nightmares and operational hassle. A stronger rate + redenomination makes the math work, restores confidence, and lets Iraq price oil domestically in a credible currency.   It’s all tied together...  [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned] 

5-22-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  ...Look at it this way – you are going to have all this money from your dinar exchange... Go to a legitimate wealth manager associated with your bank. Let the licensed experts advise you... Go to professionals. It doesn’t mean you have to follow everything they advise you but it’s a great start.  Remember they too are selling investment products and get commissions. 


  5-21-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff    I don't think any other currencies [other than the Iraqi dinar] are going to change in value.

5-21-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  This is totally bullish.  $24.7 billion trade surplus in 2025.  Is it real?  According to the CBI.  Is it measurable progress?  Absolutely.  It supports the long-term real effective exchange rate path we follow closely.  It shows the foundational work is delivering visible results...It's all getting stronger and stronger.

5-21-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  A lot of people...just want to hear when is it going to happen?  What's the rate going to be? ...I get it.  It's exciting...I am just as excited and hopeful that it's going to happen soon...But you have to have preparations in place to be a good steward of the money...Because money can corrupt someone.  It has the power to do a lot of good, but also a lot of evil.  When you're dealing with money you've never had before, you have options you've never had before...you're talking to an old girlfriend or people want to hang out with you because you're driving the new car.  I joke around with my dad.  We're both invested.  I'm like, thank God it's taken this long for it to revalue because if it would have happened within the first year or two of us getting involved, we probably would have blown it by now.

5-21-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Iraq does not publish revaluation announcements before an event.  The CBI does not telegraph rate moves...The move arrives the same way Iraq's last three monetary moves arrived, overnight... This is a chain of dated events that have already started landing.  

5-21-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   Vietnam is a partner with BRICS. Iran is a member of BRICS.  Iraq is neither...Those of you who are invested in the VND, the Vietnam dollar, you are indirectly already invested into the BRICS system...The Strait of Hormuz has given BRICS a final say...Iran...is allowing BRICS Nations to pass through the Strait of Hormuz for a fee of 2 million cryptocurrency...Iran has a multi-billion dollar crypto program they have been using to escape sanctions...Iran essentially holding 20% of the global oil hostage. Your ship can go through if you pay the 2 million in cryptocurrency. 

5-21-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   They have a set date on this.  They've already agreed to a date.  Bankers drafted this.  This has a date behind it. Plus, there's steps that Iraq has to do.  They need time to do these steps but they also have a scheduled date...It happens when it happens.  We're not privy to know what that date is.  This is a guessing game for all of us.  We can observe their actions...

5-20-2026   Guest Guru Ross   Why is the CBI suddenly announcing meetings with the Federal Reserve and US Treasury right now?  IQD is going to revalue and to be honest I’m shocked the CBI is giving such a huge signal about it.  Meanwhile the Iran War kicked off Feb 28… and suddenly we get a new reform-focused Iraqi PM, a 100-day corruption cleanup mandate, CBI saying “no devalue” + “no sanctions on funds,” public US praise, and scheduled high-level meetings with the new Fed team + Treasury. These meetings are about real technical work: banking reforms, reserve management, dollar liquidity, and deeper financial integration...unlimited amounts of new convergences keep showing up...All moving in the same window heading into America’s 250th...

5-21-2026   Newshound Guru Samson  Article:  "IRAQ AND VENEZUELA AGREE TO DEVELOP RELATIONS IN FOUR AREAS"

5-21-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  OMAR:  On television...the idea of revaluing the Iraqi dinar to go to 1 Iraqi dinar to equal 1 American dollar and it features Mazin al-Ashiqr...It's also a Twitter/x post from Mazin al-Ashiqr.  He's sharing a clip from a television discussion.  The Arabic text is something like, 'The first step for the Iraqi economy is printing new currency - a dinar equal to $1.' ...The economist is making it clear this is not an official action.  This is a common debate in Iraqi media and politics...It's nothing yet official. FRANK:  It is very healthy to see a constant conversation about the need of a new exchange rate...The economists are delivering the truth about your monetary reform because the information is very critical to be absorbed by the Iraqi citizens NOW.

5-21-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man   PM Ali al-Zaidi visited the Oil Ministry today and gave clear, strong directives: Transform the ministry from simply “selling crude” into a value-added production powerhouse, aggressively diversify export routes, develop petrochemical industries, capture gas, and maximize returns from every barrel...These kinds of moves improve revenue  resilience and make a managed REER (prudent strengthening of the dinar) far more realistic. The execution phase is clearly gaining momentum. 

5-21-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   Most people don't know you can negotiate the rate at your bank.  If you fall into certain tiers at your bank as far as a private client with Chase, high net worth clients, which I'm assuming most of us are most likely going to fall into depending on how much currency you own, you get certain privileges...

5-21-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Zaidi is more urgent than the last administration because they told us that the new administration will take Iraq into the next phase/next stage.  That means the post rate change era...It's not coincidental.  The rate change is reasonably close when you observe their actions...

5-21-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   No, the Oil and Gas Law is not yet passed but it certainly looks like a slam dunk very soon.   Article:  “PARLIAMENT IS MOVING TO AVOID A “PARALYSIS” SCENARIO AND AIMS TO FINALIZE THE OIL, GAS, AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS LAWS.”  Quote:  "House of Representatives has successfully completed the reading and passage of 16 laws so far, focusing on strategic legislation related to oil and communications."   Nice!

5-21-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]  [Reference MarkZ post 5-20-2026]... Mr. C [Mike Cottrell] talked about this on Friday that we are expected to change the values (RV or RI) then make our appointments and make our exchanges before it goes 1 to 1.   So after we exchange it will go 1 to 1. But, we already got a higher rate before then.  We were also told way back when that the RV (revaluation) would occur before the rate goes 1 to 1…Many have spoken all around the world…including Donald Trump that  currencies all need to go to parity.   In order to do that they need to reset the values and then go to parity or 1 to 1...

5-21-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]  I have heard most recently [Tuesday]...that  exchanges for us in Tier 4b would start...The message was clear. It said Wednesday, Thursday, ...Friday... this week....Let's see if we get notifications...

5-21-2026   Guest Guru Ross   Iraqi Central Bank Governor Ali Al-Alaq said Tuesday that there are plans to revalue the Iraqi dinar against the US dollar, stressing that Iraqi funds are not subject to US sanctions. Al-Alaq also announced upcoming talks with the US Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department, notating that both institutions have praised the role and performance of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI).


5-20-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   They've finished everything they need to revalue...Iraq's government formation and the rate change are one and the same...Now that the government is formed the rate is damn close to changing.

5-20-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   It feels to me like the stage is getting set for something to happen.  What will that be?  No one really knows.  I always say things could change at the drop of a hat.  With all of this geopolitical high tensions...there's a lot happening right now.  It just feels like the stage getting set for something major to happen.

5-20-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  If Iraq can revalue, the next question is whether you can actually convert.  Two paths.  Iraqi citizens convert through the CBI and authorized local banks. International holders convert through a Tier 1 bank with IMF correspondent standing, opened as a relationship before the rate event.

5-20-2026   Newshound Guru Samson  Article:   "IRAQ EXPECTS ITS POPULATION TO REACH APPROXIMATELY 73 MILLION BY 2050"

5-20-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   Iraq is at the crossroads.  According to the United States the Iran-backed militant must be unarmed.  Iraq's continued success, economic success, depends on this happening   ...Iraq is still under shadow sanctions.  The U.S. still hold over $100 billion of their currency in the United States Federal Reserve Bank...So the United States does have the final say as far as Iraq being able to proceed and progress economically. 

5-20-2026   Newshound Guru Pimpy   There's two [minister] positions they're bickering over so it's not 100% done yet.  There's another step in the process that takes a while.  Hopefully they get it done quick because I'm anxious to see what this new PM is capable of doing.  I don't know if he's gonna be able to politic as good as Al-Sudani but he does have al-Sudani in his corner.  He's very good in the banking sector which is real important for Iraq and trying to strengthen the Iraqi dinar.

5-20-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]   ...This is being discussed on Iraqi Television by Iraqi officials...An interesting translation says the first step for the Iraqi economy is printing a new currency. 1 dinar equal to 1 dollar. Nobody panic. A dollar is amazing…  ...take the worst case scenario and meeting happened yesterday and its 3 months before the dinar is 1 to 1. That would be in August...I think this is the best news ever and it was watched by millions on Iraqi TV… So this is absolutely something to be excited about.   [Post 2 of 2]

5-20-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]  …a piece done on Iraqi news about the dinar. Quote: “I have met with the federal reserve and I told them about pegging the Iraqi dinar into US dollar, meaning 1:1 and they agreed that it is a smart idea and they will do that in 3 months. I don’t know when he met with them so we could know when the 3 months expire.”  One dinar equals one dollar and they are saying they are doing it in 3 months. And this meeting could have occurred weeks ago…We do not know.  IMO This is beyond exciting news.  [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

5-20-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   They will never be able to go international or get the US sanctions lifted off them if they keep the value of the currency below a penny.  In order for them to get sanctions lifted and removed, the value of the dinar has to increase above a penny.  

5-20-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article: "The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Al-Alaq, confirmed that the independence of the Central Bank is “legally achieved but not fully realized in practice,” in a direct reference to the gap between constitutional texts and the financial pressures facing monetary policy in the country"

5-20-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man To me the CBI has completed the first evaluation phase of its comprehensive banking reform strategy.  It now moving into the second phase with international partners like Oliver Wyman to bring banks up to global standards for full integration.  I can't reiterate this enough, this didn't just start yesterday.  They've been working on this for a long time...They won't come out and talk openly about a dinar revaluation...If you think that you're getting misguided...

5-20-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   Question:  "Why is Alaq so adamant about not raising the rate if it benefits Iraqi people greatly?"  They don't want the people of Iraq to be released from their hooks and claws.  No, you give the people of Iraq purchasing power, they don't need anybody, especially Iran that they depend on too much...Today he made a fool, a buffoon, of himself by admitting the lie... "there's no change in the rate"...The next thing you know after the meeting with Trump and the US Treasury and Federal Reserve, the little weasel comes out and says, that's not what I meant.

5-20-2026  Newshound and Intel Gurus Stephen and Thom   STEPHEN: We have Kuwait, they did a revaluation and a post-war re-issuance of new currency in 1991.  How many days do you think they gave their citizens to exchange?  THOM: 90 Days.  STEPHEN:  That's what I initially thought it was.  Do you know it was 43 days?  THOM:  I know they closed the window early...They gave 90-day window and because there were some bad actors taking advantage of it, people here in the US, they decided to close that window unannounced early, we're not accepting it anymore.  STEPHEN: Yep.  You're absolutely right. 

5-20-2026  Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   Governor al-Alaq went on television Tuesday with the clean public denial. No change in the exchange rate. Foreign reserves strong. The CBI is not, in his words, studying the question. It is the 5th time he has said this in 6 months: November, February 12, February 25, April 16, May 19...The repetition is the signal...Al-Alaq confirmed a meeting "in the coming days" bringing the CBI together with the US Federal Reserve, US Treasury, and Oliver Wyman, framed as the path to "transition to dealing in other foreign currencies for banks that have completed all the required requirements." Read it as multi-currency-settlement readiness...Al-Alaq's 5th public dinar revaluation denial in 6 months runs interference until Treasury says go...

5-20-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   You can't just analyze it as a rate change.  You have to look at it at the scale of the rate change.  This is going to be around 3000% to 4000% [increase].  They're going to want all world markets closed at the time when they change the rate.  That's exactly how they did Kuwait's... Sunday morning.  Why?  Because all world markets were closed.  So they didn't have a ripple effect...
 
5-20-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   The HCL is on the move.  They've passed so many peices of it already.  It's getting very close.

5-20-2026   Guest Guru Ross  The Iran War has Iraq’s Foreign Reserves Under Heavy Pressure — a Signal for the XRP Revolution...Oil revenues are down, yet the country still has to maintain massive dollar stockpiles just to cover imports, service debt, and stabilize the dinar peg. This pressure is exactly why efficient digital solutions like XRP and its on-demand liquidity model were built... XRP shifts Iraq’s reserves from constantly covering the bills to primarily backing the currency itself — providing fuel for a massive revaluation. ...And Iraq is already moving in this direction with a digital dinar. 

 5-19-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  Even though I personally feel that there is a 100% chance the Iraqi dinar is going to revalue in  the near future...there are still moments of doubt.  Some days I'm like man, am I waiting on something that is never going to  happen?  ...Am I going to be here in 2030 or 2035 or 2040 still hoping and wishing and praying this is going to happen?  I think that's normal.  If you're in this investment you have to give yourself some grace and say it's okay to have those thoughts from  time to time...There's always a bit of doubt...always fear...especially when you're in a long-term investment like this...    

5-19-2026   Newshound Thom  Question: "Is the rate required before the HCL is passed?" IMO, yes. the REER will be needed to finalize HCL. IMO.

5-19-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Question "What is stopping this from being a lop?"  The only reason there would be a lop is if Iraq had horrible inflation.  They don't.  Iraq's inflation is around 2% to 3%.  

5-19-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  I know there's a lot of talk about Alaq being demoted or taken out of the central bank.  Not one person has sent me any information that supports that to be credible.  To me it's probably agenda driven and slanted.  Be very careful on how you read things.

5-19-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  The HCL is a conglomerate of many laws.  Surprise, surprise, surprise...they already passed 16 of the laws of the HCL.  How many more do they got to go?  ...The HCL definitely needs a new exchange rate because at 1300 you're taking about paying the Iraqi citizens pennies...  

5-19-2026   Newshound Guru Samson  Article: "IMF: IRAQ RANKS FIFTH AS THE LARGEST ERA OF ECONOMY IN 2026"

5-19-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   The Iraqi dinar is different and this is where we made the mistake...The modern Iraqi dinar that we hold today was created after the 2003 war.  Iraq printed an entirely new currency system after Saddam Hussein was removed. Since then the IQD has operated mostly as a controlled domestic currency, only inside of Iraq...The IQD has never been freely traded on the Forex market...The Kuwaiti dinar was already functioning in that international arena system before Iraq attacked them...The world only knows the IQD value to be that of what the CBI has placed on it...The Kuwaiti dinar is one of the major currencies in the world.  The IQD is an exotic currency that is not freely traded on the Forex market ...The Kuwaiti dinar and the IQD, that's apples to oranges.  [Post 2 of 2]

5-19-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   We were very very wrong to compare the Iraqi dinar to Kuwaiti dinar...This is one of the biggest misunderstanding in the IQD community.  The Iraqi dinar situation is completely different from what happened to Kuwait...When Iraq invited Kuwait in 1990, Kuwait already had a strong currency that was traded internationally...The Kuwaiti dinar already had real value...Kuwait's currency value dropped because the country itself was under military occupation.  But once Kuwait was liberated, its government and banking systems returned.  The currency simply went back to its previous internationally recognized value.  That is why Kuwait's situation situation is often called a reinstatement rather than a brand-new revaluation.   [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

5-19-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   The whole reason the central bank has not allowed Iraq to revalue is simply because of the political corruption.  The political corruption has been the delay of the rate change this entire time.  The #1 delay.  That's the reason...That's why the banking reforms are coming forward after the rate changes...They have 150+ laws. The HCL is one of the 150.  The new 2026 budget is one of the 150 laws.  All of these 150+ laws are coming forward after the rate changes...

5-19-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article:  "Sources: US Federal Reserve adds 5 Iraqi banks to dollar restrictions" Quote: "Experts believe that expanding restrictions on banks may directly affect the parallel market and exchange rates, especially with the high local demand for the dollar and the Iraqi market's heavy reliance on foreign transfers and imports."

5-19-2026   Boot-On-The-Ground Guru Omar  When Iraqi leaders talk about "financial monetary reforms" they are referring to things like modernizing the banking system, reducing cash dependency, integration with international payment systems, tightening anti-corruption controls, increasing transparency in government spending and strengthening the central bank's independence.  These are the exact prerequisites the IMF and the World Bank required before any country can adjust its currency structure or value. 

5-19-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  They're being as transparent as I've ever seen before.  Iraq has never been a truthful country.  They have always lied about what they're doing.  You know, one week the USA is saying we're withholding dollars from them.  Iraq says, no, that's not true.  And then the following day it comes out, oh, it's true...But now the USA is directly involved.  The Trump administration is directly involved and controlling what they do.  It's nothing short of exciting.  If you're a dinar investor then I'm hoping You are excited too.

5-19-2026   Newshound  Guru Thom   Question: "IF the value is "low" (1:1 or anything < ~$3), would you go ahead & exchange, or do you see any benefit in waiting a short period?  I don't want to be anxious & exchange low then it increases in days."   Thom:  It depends. The CBI and other Arab nations have a history of making an announcement of a new rate and then later that day it is effective immediately.   Iraq has already done this a handful of times. So, when IQD goes, I am going the first chance I get.  [Dinar Guru Note:  Consult your financial and asset protection advisors to determine the ideal exchange strategy for your unique circumstances.]

5-19-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Everything took off like a wildfire since they finished the government formation and since Saturday when the new government came into position and started their first day.  All this critical stuff that's been long awaited and outstanding is coming forward...   Economic stability becomes a key topic right when the new prime minister comes in and starts [last] Saturday...

5-19-2026   Guest Guru Ross   Prime Minister Al-Zaidi’s very first decision in office was to meet with the Minister of Finance and the CBI Governor.  That single move tells you everything you need to know about what’s coming next for your IQD investment.

5-19-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  Article:  "ZAIN IRAQ, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NEXT GENERATION COMPANY, LAUNCHES THE “ZAIN MART” PLATFORM TO PROVIDE AN INTEGRATED E-COMMERCE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE AND ENHANCE THE DIGITAL ECONOMY IN IRAQ"  This Zain is yet another indication that Iraq is moving ahead with the digital currency...They do not plan to roll it out until they are ready to complete the redenomination to the newer lower denominations. Remember also that they still intend to have cash too. Its going to be slow rollout.

5-18-2026   Newshound Guru Thom   Question:   "If banks only insure $250,000, you're certainly not gonna set up hundreds of accounts to keep it insured.  What banks will take millions and keep it insured?"  This is an excellent question. When I used to meet with my previous wealth advisor at Chase Private Client, I asked her this and she said that there are different tiers of banking,  especially for high net worth individuals. Like you would need a minimum of $5M to even qualify. Next time you are at the bank, ask to sit down with the branch manager or premiere banker and ask them what they offer. 

5-18-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  Iraq has about $16 Trillion worth of raw materials...Silica, phosphate, sulfur, liquid natural gas, oil, gold...rare earths...as well as...tourism...trains, trucking...

5-18-2026   Newshound Guru Samson  Article:  "GOVERNMENT ADVISOR : IRAQ'S NATURAL RESOURCES ARE ESTIMATED AT $16 TRILLION"

5-18-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff    The central bank and the new government are working together as a team.  They're trying to create  stability.  The government itself is trying to remove what has been long-term political corruption.  The central bank is noticing that but they have to work together and do this together as a team to make it happen correctly, ethically, fairly, transparency, all that...That's what we're witnessing. 

5-18-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  We could wake up tomorrow morning and the Iraqi dinar revaluation could have happened...Me being super conservative with my estimations and predictions I still am looking for a few big things to happen before the Iraqi dinar is officially revalued.  I don't think we're there yet.  I would love to be wrong.  I would love to wake up tomorrow morning and say, I got it wrong and I have never been happier.  But I think we're just a little bit off of that happening...

5-18-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  Zaidi...is Iraq's youngest prime minister.  He is also an attorney, well-educated, handsome, wealthy and intelligent.  But he has two major problems.  1.  He is supported by the United States.  2.  He is tasked with taking guns away from people who want to keep them.

5-18-2026   Newshound Guru Paulette   If al-Zaidi is really the "Trump of Iraq" and plans to MIGA, I expect he will start moving quickly...I don't expect that he will be like Sudani regarding the Factions.  Sudani was all words and no action...al-Zaidi's government program was approved and so he has not only been given authority to bring the arms in control of the State but he also has an opinion from Zaidan, Sistani and Sadr to do so.  Let's Gooooo!!!

5-18-2026   Newshound Guru Clare   Article:  "In numbers... Iraq continues to bleed its foreign currency reserves amid declining oil revenues"   Quote: "According to the Central Bank’s newly released official financial indicators...the bank’s net foreign assets continued their downward trend, decreasing from 125 trillion and 614 billion dinars on April 23 to 123 trillion and 269 billion dinars (about $93.3 billion) by the end of the same month."

5-18-2026   Boot-On-The-Ground Guru Omar  [Reference Guru Omar's 5-17-2026 post below]  Zaidi's phrase "comprehensive economic and financial reform program" is not causal.   It's the same language that is used when Iraq discusses deleting the zeros, modernizing the dinar, announced full digital banking integration, when Iraq coordinated with the IMF on the monetary reform restructuring and he paired it with strengthening our national partnership.

5-18-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Al-Zaidi has been PM for four days. In that time: drones launched from Iraqi soil hit Saudi Arabia, his oil minister confirmed an 89% export collapse, Trump and Xi agreed Hormuz should open but no one is making Iran do it, and his cabinet is still half-empty. The May 27 session — where Interior and Defense get decided — is the next critical date. Until the 
militia ministry question is resolved, Washington holds the dollar tap closed.


5-18-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  The Finance Ministry. The chair Tehran held for 22 years now has a different name on the door.

5-18-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]   OMAR:  Television is saying that the 14 members that were voted on and elected by parliament...they have been approved and they are clear of any Iranian influence or backing.  It's a fresh start for your government... FRANK:  If we're talking about a fresh start for the government without any Iranian influence, then we have security and stability for the new exchange rate, for the monetary reform purchasing power.

5-18-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man Look at all the countries that have completely broadcasted the support for this new prime minister.  Why?  Because it's a clean government...Now you see these convergences over the last week have been amazing...This is a powerful window...We're seeing the pieces of the puzzle come together...

5-18-2026   Newshound Guru Samson   Article:   "MR. AL-SADR CONGRATULATES  THE PRIME MINISTER ON FORMING THE GOVERNMENT AND URGES HIM TO PRESERVE THE COUNTRY'S SOVEREIGNTY"

5-18-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   This new prime minister is a lot more aggressive than his predecessors...Can the new prime minister move an inch without changing the rate at this point?  Where does the rate change fit in with their next steps? ...The new government cannot go another inch forward now until the rate changes...The first day in office the prime minister went straight to the economy...financial matters...reforms, everything that requires the rate to change...The rate change has got to be the next move for him to do everything they're talking about...

5-18-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  Having been invested in the Iraqi dinar since 2011 and having watched all of these years come and go, hopeful that it was going to eventually happen, but not really knowing when and seeing this much movement and this much happen all in a very very short amount of time it just tells us everything we need to know.  It is extremely, extremely exciting.

5-18-2026   Newshound Guru  Thom   Iraq...needs to finish their cabinet posts...Then they need to get to work. Budget, HCL. It is do or die for Iraq. 

5-18-2026   Guest Guru Ross   "The Major Prerequisite for the IQD to Achieve Stability to Revalue."  Iraq is on track to not only diversify away from just oil but diversify the oil flow itself.   The Strait of Hormuz is directly tied to Iran and this economic vulnerability being solved was always a MAJOR prerequisite to IQD achieving the stability to revalue.  You are going to witness  unstoppable  progress from here on.

5-18-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   ...the CBI keeps moving ahead with banking reforms. I am not even following them too closely any longer as these reforms, as I am told by my CBI contact, are all part of the White Paper and the White Paper is as done as they need it to reinstate the dinar and go international.

5-17-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Question: "What is your gut feeling this will go 2026?"  No one knows the date. We can speculate all day long. However, in my honest opinion, based on the things I am reading, hearing and witnessing, my gut says that there is a very strong chance IQD goes this year.  And VND in Sept if everything stays on track. IMO

5-17-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  We're a very small group of people but I believe in the near future we are going to be one of the most powerful groups of people...

5-17-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  Iraq's parliament has approved the new government led by the prime minister al-Zaidi.  But political divisions prevented lawmakers from reaching an agreement on several cabinet positions.  Only 14 ministerial nominations out of 23 posts were approved on Thursday and they're still fighting/"negotiating" over who will hold the other positions...

5-17-2026   Newshound Guru Pimpy  What is going on in Iran is huge for Iraq.  The oil prices going up hurts us here locally, but it benefits Iraq. Remember  I told you they had to have a barrel price to around $70 per barrel.  It's way above that.

5-17-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Question: "Is there any information on the estimated price of IQD and VND?" I think IQD will be over $3.22 (likely over $4 imo), and VND will likely be a float (a very fast moving float when it goes). My opinions based and what I have researched.

5-17-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   As long as the US Treasury has removed Iraq from their OFAC sanctions list then all the banks within the United States will start exchanging the dinar.  IMO when Iraq revalues the US Treasury will remove Iraq from the OFAC sanctions list at the same time.

5-17-2026   Boot-On-The-Ground Guru Omar  On the television we have our prime minister Zaidi.  He said we're going to start the next phase.  We will see the launch of a "comprehensive economic and financial reform program" that will strengthen our national partnership and focus on improving services and fighting corruption...He said financial reforms can lead to giving the dinar more real value.  But he said only if Iraq actually executes the deeper structural monetary reform behind the scenes...The type of reforms Zaidi is talking to us about are the same one that required before any currency can strengthen. 

5-17-2026   Newshound Guru Samson  Article: "JAPAN AFFIRMS ITS SUPPORT FOR THE AL-ZAIDI GOVERNMENT AND THE PROMOTION OF STABILITY IN IRAQ"

5-17-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article:  "Al-Hilali reveals details of the US deadline for Al-Zidi's government: six months for evaluation and another to decide on support"  Quote:  "Prime Minister's advisor Ayed Al-Hilali as saying that Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi is required to make very significant changes in order to implement what he described as the United States' conditions ...Washington gave Al-Zaidi an initial six-month grace period to assess the performance of his government...American support would not be free, but rather linked to the existence of a political and executive quid pro quo for this support."

5-17-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   Since 2003 the government has never formed before the deadline. Ever.  Iraq is very good at pushing things back... Nothing ever gets done on time.  They push it out, push it out, push it out.  This is the first time in 23 years that Iraq has actually met a constitutional deadline, which is such a big deal.  Something is happening.  Things are happening behind the scenes.  Things are moving.  This isn't hype.  This is factual information that we're looking at.  If you are a dinar holder you cannot look at this in a negative light in any way, shape or form.

5-17-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Question:  "Do you think the HCL will go first or the rate? What is an estimated timeframe on the HCL?"  I think the new REER will be announced BECAUSE of HCL. And HCL was made a priority in order to get the Kurds involved in the new gov't, so I expect it to go sooner rather than later...

5-17-2026   Guest Guru Freedom Fighter   Iraq’s Central Bank governor says they are coordinating a “huge plan” that will “change the whole sector.” • Banking sector transformation • Electronic payment expansion • Nationwide cashless transition by July 2026 • Major financial sector modernization • Structural changes expected to impact the Iraqi dinar and Iraq’s banking system...These are direct statements from Iraq’s central banking leadership and ongoing reform framework.

5-17-2026   Intel/Newshound  Guru MarkZ  [via PDK]  I have another  contact that I believe is already sitting on money.  I believe things could all break loose [this] week. 

5-16-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Question:  "What are the odds the VDN will devalue as opposed to revalue to keep Vietnam’s exports competitive globally?"  The VND is artificially held in place by the State Bank of Vietnam. And they have a tight grip on it, because they want a lower valued Dong for imports and exports. All of that will change on Sept 21st when the FTSE upgrades them to Emerging Status.

5-16-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Question: "Are all countries going to revalue at the same time?"  I believe the Iraqi dinar is the only currency that's going to revalue.  I personally don't believe any other countries are going to revalue at the same time Iraq does. 

5-16-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man   The last 48 hours have been genuinely powerful.  We've moved from political uncertainty to a seated government while the CBI and economic institutions continue serious execution.  The convergences are not random...Our future looks really bright.

5-16-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  I'm going to say this boldly...What is about to happen in Iraq and what is about to take place when the Iraqi dinar revalues, this has never happened before to this magnitude.  It will most likely never happen again.  If people want to call you a conspiracy theorist or crazy and this applies to most of us who hold Iraqi dinar because that what we're believing and hoping for that this worthless currency is one day going to be worth a lot more than it is. There has never been something like this that has happened to the magnitude that we are all hoping and expecting it to be.  

5-16-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   Investors are asking:  Will Venezuela's currency, the VES [Bolivar] follow in Panama's footsteps and become a success in a short time? ...After Noriega was removed from power in Panama, the currency increased in value as many had hoped the Iraqi dinar would do at least by now...This translated into currency profits for those who invested early in Panama's currency.  Some analysts are watching Venezuela and even Cuba very closely.  And so are we.  Venezuela's currency has been devastated by inflation for years.  But history shows political change can sometimes create opportunities for currencies to recover in value...

5-16-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  I am preparing for this to be a taxable event.  If it's not a taxable event, great.  But as an investor I want to stay off the IRS's radar.  It's the cost of doing business.  ​

5-16-2026   Newshound Guru Paulette   Al-Zaidi's government was given confidence, he and the ministers were sworn in at Parliament.  The world, especially the US, has been congratulating him on forming the government...Iraq now has a functioning, non-caretaker status, government that can start moving on the Kurd/Baghdad Oil and Gas Law, laws to regulate the Factions and laws to bring all arms in control of the State...Once we see those accomplished and not before,  I will start watching what the CBI does.

5-16-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  OMAR:  On TV CBI governor Alaq says there are no plans for any rapid revaluation or monetary reform from the CBI.  He emphasized they're focused on stability and there's been no mention of changing the rate once the government is seated.  FRANK:  Do you have plans for a revaluation?  "Well not rapidly." You're a piece of work aren't you [Alaq]...1300 does not stabilize your currency...It doesn't matter how he plays with words, his days are numbered IMO [As CBI governor]...

5-16-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Now that Iraq has competed the formation of their government and sworn them in, now that the Clarity Act finally got approved because the rate change is right here in front of us...The rate change is 100% done and ready to go.  It's going to come reasonably quick.

5-16-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  Government is one, the banking is two and they work in conjunction but they're independent.  The Central Bank of Iraq is independent.  Keep that in mind at all times because that's a fact.

5-16-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  It's been a very exciting week.  A lot has happened in Iraq.  We have a government formation, which I didn't think was going to happen this week.  I thought they were going to push it out probably till June, which has been the case every single year for the last 23 years.  There's exciting things going on...This is the most movement, the most amount of things happening, I have ever seen.  It's exciting to be watching this in real time.

5-16-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Question:  "What other currencies do you feel have the potential to revalue besides the Dinar and Dong?"  Maybe VES [Venezuelan Bolivar] 

5-16-2026   Intel Guru MarkZ  [via PDK]  On the bond side I did get some news. I heard from a contact that their meeting yesterday went fantastic and a big transfer was initiated. They should get their funds next week...If they are indeed getting paid (full money not pieces or parts) next week…our timing should be in 7-10-days.

5-16-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]   what does Iraq need to do? They need to bring out a new rate...Saturday...and that's really good news. Our rates are pretty much locked in, as you guys know. The contract rate on the Iraqi dinar has been set within a range, and the range is extremely high, and we should be in really good shape on that.


5-15-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Question "Is there any possibility that the HCL could pass at 1310?"  From what I have seen, no, not if they want their economy to survive.    

5-15-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Question: "Do you think there will be a set time limit to exchange?" Absolutely. About three months.  They've already done that historically, twice.  

5-15-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  There's a few other guys I've met that are very smart, very intelligent people and I'm like,  "wow, there's a lot of people out there that are invested and believing and are very grounded."  It gives you that confidence that I'm not alone.  I'm not crazy for thinking that the Iraqi dinar is going to revalue and hit these incredible returns.

5-15-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  The United States has been holding back cash because [Iraq] hasn't done what we're looking  for...  

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   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]

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? [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]


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? 

5-11-2026   Newshound Thom  Question: "We have primarily focused on Iraq and Vietnam, but are their other currencies in this first bucket?" Thom:  I hear the VES [Venezuelan Bolivar] will be part of it.

5-11-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   There's been a lot of talk - Are we going to have to pay taxes, the IRS is going to be abolished?  I really hope people edge on the side of caution and put away 40% to 50% because if you are of the opinion that you're not gonna have to pay taxes and you go invest your money or spend your money and then they come knocking on your door, what a  discouraging place it's going to be for you.  You have this blessing and now you have the stress, anxiety.  There's a bunch of things that could happen. 

5-11-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Trump Truth Post confirming the Dinar Gurus' Intel reporting the US flew billions in cash money to Iran "...when Barack Hussein Obama became President. He was not only good to them....giving Iran a major and very powerful new lease on life. Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and 1.7 Billion Dollars in green cash, flown into Tehran, was handed to them on a silver platter. Every Bank in D.C., Virginia, and Maryland was emptied out..."

5-11-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  They don't need the entire cabinet 100% approved.  Just the  majority of the cabinet needs to be voted in, or half.  There's 22 ministers.  Half is 11...I'm thinking they're probably going to schedule it and do it Saturday...

5-11-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  ASYCUDA system...is going to be one of the biggest revenue streams Iraq has...Diversification is so important for Iraq.  They have more than any other country in the region, a head start...Iraq is not alone in recognizing that the building alternative revenue streams, logistic hubs and digital systems is a smarter path moving  forward...These foundational pieces are building resilience and setting the stage for a global deeper integration and a more balanced economy.

5-11-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu  Taxation is offered as a reason for receipts because of what some insist it is going to be a Capital Gains event. IT IS NOT! Taxes may be paid by your choice of two methods. You may elect to count the profit as regular income or as capital gains income and YOU CHOOSE...not the bank and not the IRS. If you select paying capital gains, it means you have some financial structure that is benefited by paying the higher rate and for this you may need a receipt, a SKR, or a TRUST  notarized with the date on the document. [Dinar Guru Note:  Consult your tax and asset protection professionals to determine the most advantageous taxes for your unique situation.] 

5-11-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  I know many IQD investors... are thinking and saying over and over $1 to 1 dinar.  People who understand international currency laugh at us because it's just not economically possible.  That doesn't mean it can't happen, but it does mean there are some steps in-between that we need to acknowledge as intelligent IQD investors...I'm not trying to burst your bubble...What I'm saying to you is there is some things that must happen before the 1 to 1 could or will happen.  I'm not trying to say the Iraqi dinar will not value at $1 to 1 IQD because it very well could in the future but not now and not in the beginning...It has to go through baby steps.

5-11-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   We need security and stability...We need Iranian influence in the media, government, banking to be removed from Iraq.  We need the auctions to stop.  We need the thievery to stop.  We need to go digital with contracts.  All of this is happening right before our eyes, all for the purpose of protecting the new exchange rate.

5-11-2026   Newshound Guru Paulette   Alaq has done a great job trying to keep the Market rate from exploding and reducing overall corruption.  Did you see the articles talking about the reduction in dollar sales.  This is clear indication that the (deep state) money laundering through Iraq into Iran and the (deep state) proxy armies has been minimized.  Now the next step is getting the (deep state) armed factions under control of the government and/or eliminated.  Sistani and now Sadr [Iraq's religious leaders] are in total agreement ...Do you really think Trump would have allowed Iraq to RD/RV---->RI until all this is cleaned up??  I think Alaq has the Delete the Zeros program ready to unleash when Trump says GO...

5-11-2026   Newshound Guru Thom   Question:  "Do think the new Prime Minister will be able to successfully implement a new government without the influence of the militias...?"  Thom:  I do, yeah. I think al-Zaidi has a real shot to do what others could not do. And with what al-Sadr was calling for late last week, I am very confident. But that doesn't guarantee success. And if they don't, they gotta deal with Daddy Trump's refusal to help them any further.

5-11-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  The country of Iraq has literally been used as a money smuggling country all these years...and here we have the Trump administration that is being so proactive, aggressive, in their rebuke and their removal of all of this Iranian influence in the country of Iraq.  Why is that important for the Iraqi dinar?  Because...all of these [corrupt] people had to be removed before any substantial amount of value was given to the Iraqi dinar.  We're seeing that happen right before our very eyes.  This is very very exciting. 

5-11-2026   Newshound Guru Clare   Article: "Iran has reservations about al-Zaidi's appointment... Qaani is in Baghdad to sort things out"

5-11-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Sometime in this new week is when they plan to set and schedule a date to complete the government formation.  We don't have a hard date yet.  Most of the articles have suggested around the end of the week.  I'm thinking it could be Saturday...They probably won't vote for an entire complete cabinet.  It'll probably be the majority of the cabinet.  All they need is the majority of the cabinet.

5-11-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ    [via PDK]    Redeeming banks/redemption centers have trained personnel and will give you credit for currency right then and there. They will not have to send it off to have it vetted. 

5-11-2026   Intel Guru Bruce  [via WiserNow] Let's see if we have new rates on the redemption center screens...don’t worry the rates are the least of your concerns - rates are going to be excellent...if you're a dinar holder on the Iraqi dinar, they should offer the contract rate, which is going to be extremely good, very high, very high...


5-10-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  Alaq...forever you've been talking saying, 'No, we don't have a need to raise the value of our currency.  We don't have any plans to remove the three zeros from our exchange rate..."  And then today...the CBI board of directors had no choice but to come out and tell [Iraqi citizens] to go from 1300 to at least 1000 making it easy to remove the three zeros and be 1 to 1.

5-10-2026   Newshound Guru Samson  Article: "TRUMP : WHAT HAPPENED IN IRAQ IS VERY GOOD, AND I AM HAPPY WITH THE PRIME MINISTER-
DESIGNATE
"

5-10-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  People debate me all the time...when I talk about the tax rate stuff, 'Oh no, I'm not going to have to pay.  We're not going to have to pay.'  I'm like, please, just edge on the side of caution, okay?  

5-10-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Question: "What range do you predict the exchange rate will be post RV for the IQD and VND?"  Thom:  What people tell me IQD - $4, VND $2+ But honestly, I am seeing evidence to support that VND will float.

5-10-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article: "Trump supports al-Zaidi and is monitoring the formation of his government; Washington links cooperation to the exclusion of factions and the reduction of Iran's influence” Quote: "A committee comprising Ali al-Zaidi, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, and Hadi al-Amiri is working on a draft proposal concerning the disarmament of factions and the restructuring of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), with the intention of presenting it to Washington."

5-10-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   The HCL for final approval is waiting for the rate to change because they need to add it to the constitution in order for them to make payments.  

5-10-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   Let's not allow ourselves to be thrown into the same classification as all the other Iraqi dinar investors who are saying and believing this hype of $3 to 1 dinar.  We are more intelligent than that.  It can happen, but it ain't going to happen soon.  Not even near soon.  Be intelligent about what it is you have invested in...

5-10-2026   Newshound Guru Paulette  I like what I am seeing in the proposed government program and especially like that Zaidi is following Khadimi's White Paper for needed reform.  Recall that the White Paper specifically notes the reforms necessary with the goal of returning the IQD to Forex... Patience, it will take Zaidi some time to get the necessary laws passed and then sent to  Parliament for passage in order to eradicate the current armed faction structure. ALL should very happy this morning but certainly not expectant.

5-10-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru Walkingstick  The 'White Papers' are a conglomerate of many things the United States put together.  It has been a demand of ours for a long time.  But prime minister after prime minister have failed us.  The White Papers contain the monetary reform.  It contains the steps for the HCL.  It contains article 140...It contains all the steps that were just handed in that we call the formation of the government of Iraq.  It contains the economic reform once the monetary reform is launched.  It contains the removal of Iranian influence...banking laws.  It contains many things that the United States of America have been wanting this government to do.  It was created over the last few years with the IMF, World Bank, Bank of International Settlement, US Treasury, Central Bank of Iraq, with everybody...The United States of America gave this to Sudani, he did nothing with them.  Now we present them to Zaidi.  And Zaidi with Trump, they are implementing them.

5-10-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   Z [Zaidi] is working on the HCL...budget... forming the government all under the direction of Donald Trump.  Everything else is just noise...All we're waiting for is the removal of the unwanted names for the minister positions.  Not a single Iranian can represent [Iraq] in government ever again...Trump is working on the formation of the government and the security that [Iraq] needs from Iran.  

5-10-2026   Newshound Guru Samson  Article: " 'A RISKY MISSION':  AL-ZAYDI PREPARES TO 'DISARM' THROUGH A COMMITTEE, COINCIDING WITH AL-SADR'S PROPOSAL"

5-10-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  This is huge and I'm excited to share it...The United States sanctioned Iraq's deputy oil minister.  This is one of the highest officials in Iraq's cabinet.  He's not the oil minister but he's the deputy oil minister.  He has been caught with his hand in the cookie jar funneling money to Iran...I haven't seen this much movement...and this much pressure to allow Iraq to break free from the grip of...Iran...The USA sanctioned 4 people total...I cannot overstate this enough.  We have to get rid of the cancer, all of these bad actors, before the value of the dinar would increase.

5-10-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]  The chatter is deafening. I could be wrong…but, I think we will already be paid by Memorial day weekend ... money is moving...And it should continue to move...and somewhere around the 15th...all of us should go to the bank about the same time...  Everyone just needs to try to stay calm.  

5-10-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...any budget for Iraq is based on the price of oil. There is not a dinar rate in the budget...It is not until the dinar is reinstated and the economy grows and has diversified revenue streams, that the Finance Committee can then use the dinar as measuring tool for a  budget, thus not one source of revenue that can have a potential to crash the budget, can create stability.   And what did the CBI tell us they needed…STABILITY, STABILTY, STABILITY...We are not yet there because Iraq still has to diversify.

5-10-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]... competent...source in Iraq... said he thought the new prime minister would be seated officially Sunday or Monday, and that 48 hours later would be Wednesday, which puts us into Tuesday /Wednesday for notifications and exchanges, or just exchanges, Tuesday, Wednesday. 


5-9-2026   Newshound Thom Question: "What dinar price in $ would be disappointing for you?" Anything below $3.22 would surprise me.  Anything over a dollar and I would be truly grateful.

5-9-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  We got to get through this as wisely as possible and as stress free as possible and get ready for  the next wave of things that are coming...I believe the Iraqi dinar will revalue.  I believe a few other currencies will possibly revalue.  Start planning ahead...'What do I do when that even happens?' ...The Iraq dinar is just the beginning...it's not the end...  

5-9-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man Iraq is getting very sophisticated at this stage.  They've had a lot of help and I think they've been using the guidance of the Central Bank of Iraq with the United States Treasury, Bank of International Settlements, IMF etc...

5-9-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article: "Government advisor: Ongoing measures to strengthen the stability of the dinar and ensure the sustainable supply of cash dollars" Quote: "the Central Bank informed the Ministry of Finance late last year that the exchange rate adopted for the purposes of preparing the draft federal budget law for 2026 would be around 1,300 dinars per dollar. This reflects the continued adherence to the fixed official rate adopted since February 2023, which is an important indicator of stability for the market and its expectations."

5-9-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  We've had a lot of false alarms in this.  I will admit that.  Part of the reason why we've had a lot of false alarms, for one, this is a huge learning experience because we don't have a 'Dinar for Dummies' book revealing every step in this.  Unless you know every step, plus...2012 they suggested they were going to do it.  2014 they suggested, December 20th 
2020 they suggested they were going to do it
...During the first half of [2025] year they were putting out a whole bunch of articles about minting coins... The point is, without knowing every step...it's a speculative unknown investment making it very difficult to study. 


5-9-2026   Newshound Guru Thom   Similarities between the dinar and the dong:  Both currencies are controlled by their central banks.  Neither one floats freely on the open market...Both of them have a 'street price'...Both communities have long-term holders that believe the official rate is too low.  Millions of Americans are sitting on both currencies for the same basic reason.  We believe the real value hasn't been priced in yet...Both governments are intentionally holding the rate down... [See Thom's IQD / VND top 3 differences 5-8-2026 post below]

5-9-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  The Iraqi government has found a new way to export oil out of the country.  We applaud Iraq for adapting to the situation in the Middle East and for making decisions that advance the government and the economy.

5-9-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent X post:   "Like a rogue gang, the Iranian regime is pillaging resources that rightfully belong to the Iraqi people.  Treasury will not stand idly by as Iran's military exploits Iraqi oil to fund terrorism against the United States and our partner."  That's incredible that he came out and made that public statement...This is not a negative in any way.  This is all positive...

5-9-2026   Newshound Thom  Question:  "I found redemption centers but they are online , how can you find a redemption center in person .. I live in the south" IMO, I am staying with banks. They are at least insured. I have heard a few confusing things about these "Redemption Centers," so I have other plans.

5-9-2026   Guest Guru Ariel  The old banks’ resistance protecting parallel market skims and militia flows is being steamrolled. A meaningful revaluation plus redenomination (“delete the zeros”) becomes structural survival, not optional policy.

5-9-2026   Intel Guru Bruce  [via WiserNow] ...what we’re getting -  four or five different, unrelated sources...We're getting very good information about notifications. Could be over the weekend...it's possible we would get notified with the toll free number in our emails on Saturday...But what about exchanges? If we wouldn't start on Sunday...which is Mother's Day..., would we start Monday or Tuesday? Yes, I'm hearing either of those two days is possible for the start exchanges...Could we get notified Monday and start exchanges on Tuesday? The 12th? I think that's very, very likely that that's going to be what it's going to be ...

5-9-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat    ...has the reforms already helped in speeding up diversification of revenues?  Article:  “CUSTOMS AUTOMATION HALVES DEMAND FOR DOLLARS: AN ECONOMIST REVEALS A RADICAL SHIFT IN IRAQ’S FOREIGN REMITTANCES”   Looks like implementing the Customs and Tariffs is working to not only bring in revenues besides...the petro-dollar but also is assisting in reducing the parallel market. Seems to me ...the nail has already been driven on the coffin of the parallel market. This article ... enforces ... why it is so important to control the parallel market and the connection to our long-awaited RV and Reinstatement.  I would consider this article our WOW! WOW! WOW! news for today.


5-8-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   The size of a country's currency notes are based on how high or low their inflation is.  So 'deleting the zeros' phrase and statement is based on a country's inflation...

5-8-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Question: "Do you think most of the bigger banks - such Chase - will have on-site DeLarue machines to verify the currency, because I don’t want it to be sent off. I live in small town North Alabama"   I am personally using CHASE Private Client. If nothing else, because I built relationships with the team there, they will send me where I need to go.

5-8-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   In time we can look forward to a 1 to 1 ratio but not in the beginning...and not until the three major tasks that Iraq has to complete.  They have to control their currency, they have to be able to have an info of revenue coming in over and above the oil industry and they have to control the militants...Iraq must take care of these tasks before a currency adjustment can happen.

5-8-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  I believe we're probably in a 3 to 6 month window.  I still believe a few things have to happen before the dinar does revalue...It's a fluid situation... [See the list of "Dinar Gurus' Master List of Possible To Do's" in the left column of this page.]

5-8-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   The last three weeks, all the information...it's been so explosive.  It's like a rocket taking off.  The problem is it comes back down in a parachute.  It comes back slowly.  The rocket has already been launched.  What we're doing is we're simply waiting for all the pieces to come together. 

5-8-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu  The Exchange WILL NOT be a capital gains taxable event and here's why: For US tax purposes: Section 988: The default treatment for foreign exchange (forex) gains and losses for US tax residents is Section 988. Under this section, forex gains and losses are treated like ordinary income, not capital gains. This means that gains are taxed as  ordinary income, and losses are deductible as ordinary losses, subject to certain limitations... [Dinar Guru Note:  Consult your tax professional at the appropriate time to determine the right tax for your unique circumstances]  

5-8-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  The news just keeps getting better and better going into next week.  Next week looks amazing - all the way to possibly having a formed government by...Saturday of next weekend the 16th...the rate change is extremely close to happening.

5-8-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  The top three differences between Iraq and Vietnam:  Iraq runs on oil but Vietnam runs on manufacturing and trade.  About 90% of Iraq's economy is petroleum...Vietnam on the other hand has Samsung, Apple suppliers, Intel and a bunch of exports that the whole world is buying.  Two very different engines for their economies.  Iraq has an IMF rate and Vietnam does not...Vietnam's rate is being managed to keep their exports cheap...IQD could move fast and the Vietnamese dong will likely more slow...Vietnam's upgrade catalyst is institutional while Iraq is political.

5-8-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Today Treasury did something it has never done before.  Washington put a sitting Iraqi cabinet member on the sanctions list...Iraq's deputy minister of oil, designated under operation economic fury, alongside three senior leaders of Iran aligned militias...No US administration has ever personally sanctioned a serving Iraqi cabinet member until now.  Treasury picked...two days before the floor vote on Al-Zaidi's opening slate of 14 ministers. The timing was the message...Here's what this means for you if you hold IQD.  1310 isn't moving off its peg...while Iran aligned assets sit inside Iraq's institutions.  Treasury just pulled one out.  Each name cleared takes Iraq one step closer to a rate that finally moves.

5-8-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article: "Economic Fury Targets Iraqi Oil Official, Iran-Backed Terrorist Militias in Iraq" Quote: "Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) increased economic pressure on Iran and its proxy militias in Iraq by designating...Iraq’s Deputy Minister of Oil, who abuses his position to facilitate the diversion of oil to be sold for the benefit of the Iranian regime and its proxy militias in Iraq...The Iranian regime is pillaging resources that rightfully belong to the Iraqi people, said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent. Treasury will not stand idly by as Iran's military exploits Iraqi oil to fund terrorism against the United States and our partners.” 

5-8-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow] So here's a piece that we got from two of our sources in Iraq...the new prime minister for Iraq, who has been already appointed, will be officially seated Sunday or possibly Monday .... Sunday is Iraq's first business day of the week, so I would look for him to be seated and announced...on Sunday.  The theory is we need for that to happen before we go into exchanges. The same person that told us Sunday also said we should be exchanging 48 hours later...that would be Tuesday.   I think that's very possible. 

5-8-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  All these projects we read about from the al-Sudani administration are still in progress and will deliver the benefit we all desire, but just not yet. We also have to cancel the Iranian influence in Iraq and we can now see this too is in the making.  ...I believe we are closer than ever for the dinar to get reinstated.  But first things first. By now everyone should be fully aware of these events that caused delays in the currency reform process... 

  
5-7-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Question:  "What are the next major steps you are waiting for?" The conditions that would theoretically support a significant dinar appreciation -- diversified revenue streams, a stable and transparent banking sector, full dollar access, low inflation, strong foreign reserves, and a resolution of the militia problem...

5-7-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff    Iraq's budget is waiting for the new government to be formed because it's waiting for the rate to change.  That's where we're at in this right now.

5-7-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Iran's president called Iraq's PM-designate and asked Baghdad to referee the meeting...Iran called Baghdad because Tehran can't reach Washington direct. ...The day Iran sanctions lift is the day the dinar repricing window opens...The deal that gets written this month decides whether IQD finally moves off 1310. 

5-7-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  With all the news coming out, it is an exciting time to be invested in the Iraqi dinar.  That is for certain...

5-7-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  The Iraqi dinar is tightly controlled and set and managed by the Central Bank of Iraq not by open forces like the Forex market.  This is called a managed or pegged exchange rate. The CBI decides when or if the rate changes. Even during conflict, the rate can remain and has remained the same...

5-7-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu  The CBI’s official rate remaining around 1,320 IQD per USD, with budget guidance around 1,300...The IMF says Iraq’s exchange-rate arrangement is a conventional peg, and that the Central Bank of Iraq has authority over exchange-rate policy. A bank rate sheet also shows 1 USD at 1,300 IQD and references 1,320 in the system, which is consistent with a managed official framework...

5-7-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  The gazette said some things I think they should not have said...IMSO, you know how we say we're close?  No, we're there.  We're not walking down the ladder of the Lunar Module.  We're bouncing up and down on the moon.

5-7-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  The cabinet map is the story today...A preliminary cabinet allocation map leaked to Shafaq News shows...US-designated terrorist Qais al-Khazali — is slated to receive the Labor Ministry, the Industry Ministry, and a deputy prime minister position. Washington explicitly demanded al-Zaidi exclude militia-linked figures from cabinet and senior posts before resuming dollar shipments. If this allocation holds, it puts al-Zaidi on a direct collision course with Washington before parliament even votes...If Khazali's Sadiqoun bloc gets a deputy PM slot and two ministries, Washington's "no militiamen in cabinet" red line is crossed...and dollar shipments stay frozen. Al-Zaidi has 72 hours to finalize his list.

5-7-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Historically Iraq has always been slightly above Kuwait.  Today Kuwait's about $3.25...What brought the value of the currency down was sanctions.  What happens when you take those sanctions off?   If it reinstates wouldn't that put it around the $3.22 which is where it devalued in 2003?

5-7-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   The Gazette is Iraq's mandatory channel for legal force. Laws, regulations and presidential decrees take effect on the date they are published, not before.  Until a rate change appears in the Gazette, it is not law.

5-7-2026   Newshound Guru tishwash   Article: "Parliament announces it will receive the government program from Al-Zidi by the end of this week."   Quote:  Parliament Speaker Hebat al-Halbousi confirmed on Monday (May 4, 2026) that the parliament will receive the government program from Ali al-Zaidi, who is tasked with forming the new government, by the end of this week, while he indicated that the names of the ministerial cabinet will be put to a vote next week."

5-7-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]  we have information that we're getting from the highest up sources you can get in the banking world that was saying we should get our notifications for tier 4b over the weekend.


5-6-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  They are planning to prepare and set the stage to revalue the currency right in front of our faces, which is awesome and amazing.

5-6-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  What is going to happen the moment the Iraqi dinar revalues, when you wake up that morning? ...Iraq is 7 or 8 hours ahead of us...I've always had a feeling it's probably going to revalue in the middle of the night and we're going to wake up that morning and we're going to know that our lives are essentially changed forever.  So start putting yourself in 
a position of planning ahead.  Start having those thoughts in your head - What am I going to do when that day comes?  Because I believe that day is a lot closer than many of us think.  [Dinar Guru Note:  You can always see the exact Baghdad, Iraq time in the left column of this page]

5-6-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  There is one variable left moving without a name on it.  The Iraqi dinar peg has held through a war, a constitutional vacuum, a cash-pallet halt, and a five-month deadlock. It has held because the daily CBI dollar auction has held.  The auction holds because banks the size of Al-Janoob have routed the parallel volume. Treasury just priced the parallel route. Everything in the room got named this week. Except the IQD peg.

5-6-2026   Intel Guru Frank26 Trump is the president of the United States of America.  You don't think he knows you have dinars?  You don't think he's counting?  You don't think he's formulating?

5-6-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu   Iraq is still in its infancy of economic diversification. They are doing all the right things in their own slow little way but never the less, it is getting done.

5-6-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  We do not know if the Iraqi dinar currency adjustment is on Trump's radar.  There is a lot of hype online about this subject, but...no documented evidence to support it.  However we do have evidence of what the US government did for another country late last year.  Article:  "US buys Argentine pesos, finalizes $20 billion currency swap" ...There 
are a number of ways the US Treasury could support conditions that strengthen the Iraqi dinar. 


5-6-2026   Boot-On-The-Ground Guru Omar  The Gazette framework confirms Iraq is restructuring the FX system.  They do confirm the CBI is preparing for a policy shift.  It does confirm that the exchange rate discussions are now official and public.  And it confirms a major monetary transaction is underway...

5-6-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Not every position [of the new PM cabinet] has to be filled.  They just need a majority completion approval in parliament. 

5-6-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  The new prime minister is expediting the process of getting his entire cabinet seated.  It's supposed to be on the 27th of May.  He's actually going to have his entire cabinet seated and ready for vote before parliament by May 9th which is only a few days away...

5-6-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Alaq names the architecture that would carry a new rate is already 95 percent built. The Finance chair decides the rate...al-Alaq did not need to say "the rate is changing." He said something more dangerous. He said the architecture that would carry a new rate is already 95 percent built.

5-6-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  OMAR:  The Iraqi Gazette released new exchange frameworks and monetary directives... The gazette only prints final legal biding decision, not rumors...We don't know why this is happening...This is the first time the Gazette has openly referred to exchange rate discussions which analysts consider unprecedented.  FRANK:  The gazette is talking about which way the value of the Iraqi dinar is going to go...The gazette has never done this before.  It's not like they're jumping the gun.  It's more that they're trying to tell the truth. 

5-6-2026   Guest Guru Ariel   Everything is converging at once. The old system is being strangled by its own contradictions, and the pieces for a real Iraqi Dinar revaluation are snapping into place with ruthless precision...The revaluation will not come through some magical CBI press release. It will come through this perfect-storm alignment: stable government, HCL passage, oil revenue flood, gold anchoring, cashless infrastructure, and international bond/capital inflows that create genuine demand for the dinar. Once the rate strengthens and stabilizes (gold-backed, tradable on forex windows), the path for US holders opens through compliant American banks.

5-6-2026   Newshound Guru tishwash   Article:  "Parliamentary emphasis on the priority of enacting the oil and gas law"  Quote:  "The Parliamentary Oil, Gas, and Natural Resources Committee stressed the importance of the government expediting the submission of draft laws, foremost among them the draft oil and gas law..."


5-5-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   Everyone in America, everyone in the world, knows that once [Iraq] sits the government, the potential to expose your new exchange rate is extremely high especially when they were talking about the budgets...

5-5-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  The HCL...splits oil revenue between Baghdad and Erbil. That split has been the missing piece for years. Lock the split, and Iraq's books become predictable. Predictable books unlock the global lenders. Global lenders are what reprices the dinar. Clean US rails on one end. Iraqi revenue sharing on the other. THAT is the system the rate moves through... Pass the HCL. Let the liquidity flow.

5-5-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   I live in the world of digital security...digital security based automated systems is what I do.  Very computerized.  I work in the world of automation...Security is always on my mind.  When you're wealthy you're better off not telling people...You don't want to let people know you're rich.  You're best off just living your low-key conservative life... After the rate changes I will have a very simply way I operate...But I will be living life to the fullest.

5-5-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  Question: "B of A  doesn’t buy dinar. Do we need find a bank that does and establish a relationship with them before the RV?"  Thom:  At the moment, no one is. And you don't want them to. Not at this current REER. However, I have done plenty of business with B of A and they will exchange anything on FOREX. So when it goes live on FOREX again, they will.

5-5-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  People ask me, could it happen this month?  I don't know.  I hope it does.  But I think between now and the 4th of July is a realistic time frame...The most important thing and the most encouraging thing is that things are constantly moving forward.  We are seeing so many things happen.  We're seeing the pressure put on Iraq that I have never seen before in all my years invested in this currency.

5-5-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  Iraq is better insulated than the headlines suggest...The situation around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz remains tense.  Absolutely.  But Iraq has clear advantages right now because of the diversification, because of the resilience they've built...Higher oil prices...are providing a short-term revenue buffer...but the whole time they're making money...Alternative routes and domestic gas, electricity efforts help offset any temporary disruptions...They're building resilience constantly.

5-5-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article:  "Iraq, which leads the world in the number of banks, is the weakest in terms of economic influence" Quote: "Despite having more than 70 banks, Iraq's banking sector remains among the weakest in the region in terms of economic impact, financing capacity, and level of trust...as a large part of these banks does not work as a financier of projects or a supporter of productive activity, as much as they are linked to limited activities that revolve around the state, liquidity and foreign currency...If the country embarks on genuine reform encompassing governance, oversight, digital transformation, building trust, and linking banks to the productive economy, Iraq possesses the market size and domestic demand to build one of the strongest financial sectors in the region."

5-5-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu   There will be no gradual increase in value (FLOAT).  It will be established all at once and stay that way for a very long time. The CBI has stated there will be no float. Once Iraq is through handling the unbanked Dinar, they will commence our exchanges. This is likely not going to happen for another year because they simply do not have the infrastructure set up yet. 

5-5-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  OMAR:  An economist on television and says the significance of the fact that the [market] exchange rate is dropping in our country is good because once it gets close and starts hugging the official rate, 1300, it's going to be so much easier to drop the three zeros...Then he said if we do that then it would flush out the parallel market because the dinar would have strength, then people would use the dinar.  FRANK:  That's exactly what's going to  happen.  That's why the economist is saying this over again to these people.  This is amazing...We all understand the logic of the monetary reform.  We know the purpose is to add value, purchasing power.  What he tells you today is absolutely 100% true.

5-5-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  The Sin Dialogue Forum opens with one speaker...al-Alaq told the room cash imports of US dollars into Iraq have been cut from 14 billion to 4 billion. He said roughly 95 percent of dollar sales now move through the electronic platform, not through the cash currency-auction window that existed a year ago. He called the current financial situation less severe than 2014. He confirmed dollar transfers are covered daily without interruption, despite an oil-export halt that should be tightening every reserve in the country...The quiet work is not slow work. It is hidden work, by design. 

5-5-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   The government formation is much farther along than we should have expected... Article:  "60% of the ministerial lineup for the new government has been completed"  ...Very good to see they're farther than you and I were privy to know.

5-5-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  If al-Zaydi [Iraqi Prime Minister-designate] takes the appropriate steps toward dismantling the PMF, and any terrorist groups operating in Iraq, then parliament passes the Oil and Gas Law (which they already told us is a priority in this new parliament) we could be into some smooth sailing towards the reinstatement process to move ahead.

5-4-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Community Comment  "I'm seeing people say banks still won't take it after it revalues."  Banks will take it...once the US sanctions come off.  The US sanctions are nothing more than a form of collateral to ensure Iraq revalues.  If the sanctions don't come off, the US won't get paid.  The US wants to get paid in this more than you and I do.  The US has tied up trillions of taxpayer dollars in this...Trump is a money man, not a politician.  Trump wants to get paid.  He wants Iraq to revalue.  Why do you think you now have a "Trump Jr." as the nominated PM in there?

5-4-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Saturday at the Sin Dialogue Forum in Baghdad. The governor of Iraq's central bank, Ali al-Alaq, told a room of decision-makers one phrase. "We are working quietly." ...Here is what the room got told next. Cash dollar imports cut from 14 billion to 4 billion in 12 months. 95 percent of dollar sales now move through the electronic platform. Foreign transfers covered daily...79 commercial banks queued behind it for digital banking licenses. Note, this is not a status update. I would more appropriately classify as a plumbing diagram...The wholesale rail is built. The retail rail is loading. Treasury can audit, sanction, and switch the platform off bank by bank. Meaning a clean IQD runs through pristine rails on both shores. That is the difference between theater and architecture. Seat the chair. Pass the budget. Move the rate. 23 days.

5-4-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  The HCL requires a new exchange rate...The HCL needs in order for it to function a rate that is different from 1300...If it didn't they would have used 1300 a long time ago.

5-4-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  I want to stick to the truth.  I want to stick to what's practical, what's realistic.  Everything I am seeing as a dinar investor and having been invested in this for the last 15 years, things are looking extremely positive.  There is a lot of pressure on the country of Iraq.  Everything is working in our favor.

5-4-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  Is it messy?  Is it still noisy?  Of course it is.  It's also seemingly slow...Iraq's practical reforms and their economic work is still pushing forward with real momentum.  Are they going to hammer out the political side of things?  Absolutely. Every country goes through these types of things...

5-4-2026   Newshound Guru Thom  A few people were asking me two questions tonight: "When does the IQD revalue?" "How high will it go?" Those are the wrong questions.  The right question is: what do you do the day it happens?  Because if you don't have a plan, the blessing becomes a burden.  If you don't have that answer yet — you're not ready.  Don't Blow The Blessing.

5-4-2026   Newshound Guru Clare   Article:  "Was al-Zaidi's selection an American deal to advance Washington's interests in Iraq?"  Quote:  "The selection of Ali al-Zaidi for prime minister came about through an American deal previously prepared in coordination with leaders of some political blocs and parties to manage American interests in Iraq according to the Trump administration's plan, after its objection to the nominations of Nouri al-Maliki and Mohammed Shia al-Sudani."

5-4-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu   Since the 2025 Basel III “Endgame” revisions took effect, banks have been incentivized to increase physical gold holdings while sharply reducing reliance on “paper” gold...The key change is treating allocated physical gold as a Tier‑1 high‑quality liquid asset (HQLA), marked at 100% of market value, rather than at a 50% discount as before. Gold upgraded to Tier 1 / HQLA: As of July 1, 2025, U.S. and many other internationally active banks can count physical, allocated gold at full market value toward Tier‑1 capital and liquidity coverage ratios (LCR/NSFR), similar to cash and sovereign bonds...The Dinar will only be partially gold backed like every other currency in the G-20 per Basil III.

5-4-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Things are looking very good.  Most likely during next week to announce the lineup of the ministers and have it ready for a vote as well within two weeks.  If they can get that done, that means they're positioned to possibly revalue the currency in the second half of May.  We've got to watch this movement very closely.

5-4-2026   Newshound Guru Samson  Article:  "IRAN WELCOMES AL-ZAIDI'S APPOINTMENT AS PRIME MINISTER : WE SUPPORT IRAQ'S POLITICAL STABILITY"

5-4-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   May 27 Iraq votes on the cabinet that decides if the rate moves. The Minister of Finance controls Iraq's budget and where oil revenue goes. Iran-aligned blocs holding that chair means the books stay under Tehran's thumb and the rate stays put...al-Zaidi needs 167 votes. The Finance Minister is the prize. Whoever walks out with that seat decides the rate.

5-4-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  OMAR:  Alaq is saying, 'I've not said anything about changing the rate, that's all just on social media, it's in the media of Iraq, we still need stability and we're not going to risk the changing of the rate' says Alaq.  FRANK:  If Alaq continues to insist there's no rate changing, then you can take this to the bank, he will be gone very soon.  Mark my words.  OMAR: Alaq has made it clear...They will work with the government but he runs the CBI.  FRANK:  He is delusional...The board of directors are the ones that run the CBI and they answer to the IMF...WB.  They even work with the US. This man is definitely gone.  Remember I told you that. 

5-4-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   Comments:  Rumor is the dinar rate will be $4.81...We aren't going to know the rate till we're standing before those running the exchange. Anything before then is a guess! IMO.  MarkZ:  Exactly.

5-4-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Article:  "WHY DOES IRAQ FAIL TO ACHIEVE SELF-SUFFICIENCY DESPITE ITS RESOURCES?"  Quote:  "Iraq continues to rely heavily on imports to secure its needs for basic and consumer goods...despite the availability of natural and human resources."  We can clearly see opportunities are wide spread in Iraq for investors to come and work with them to develop these resources. But will they come under a climate of instability with Iranian influences abound in the government?  But president Trump has a plan to turn this around but he first needs SECURITY and STABIITY.


5-3-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Question:  "Are they still working on 'deleting the zeros'?"  Deleting the zeros does not mean anything regarding the exchange rate.  What it means is they have currency notes with three zeros, like a 25,000 note.  It means to replace a 25,000 currency note with a 25 note.  In other words a redenomination...But I have a fair amount of articles that state the two currencies will coexist together at the same value...Let's say the dollar value against the dinar is $3.00 for easy math...Two currencies coexist simply means a 25,000 not would be wroth $75,000 after the rate change and a 25 note would be worth $75...IMO they'll phase out the large three zero notes and give everybody 90 days to get them turned in and exchange.

5-3-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   al-Zaidi was nominated on April 27 by the Coordination Framework. He is the Prime Minister-designate, not the confirmed Prime Minister. The cabinet vote is May 27, and he needs 167 votes from the 329-seat parliament...Until 167 votes land, he runs no executive office.

5-3-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] OMAR: TV has this from the CBI..."We will cooperate with the new government."  FRANK:  So much is happening so quick...You know what the new government wants?  A new exchange rate...Alaq IMO is scared because he has seen what Trump is doing with many in your country, in Iran...Alaq knows the speed of the government being set is going to trample right over him if he does not cooperate and release the new exchange rate...Alaq is capitulating because he is trying to survive.

5-3-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  It's been a pretty exciting week.  We are waiting for the formation of the government...It could be done any day, but...the new prime minister nominee has 30 days to get that completed... He's been meeting with the CBI governor.  He's been meeting with the Finance Minister.  It seems like he's very aggressive with going after a lot of the monetary policy in Iraq.  As dinar investors and holders that's what we want to see.  All good things.  Things are moving and working in our favor.

5-3-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu  Technically, the IQD is already on FOREX so the proper question is: Is the IQD broadly tradable yet, not is the IQD on FOREX? ...There was a time when it was completely absent but that was quite a while back. With crypto legislation in the final stages of approval (Clarity Act) it will be imperative for Iraq/CBI to get their banks crypto-compliant so all banks will be able to access the CBI and FOREX via a bridge currency such as XRP. My Singapore connections tell me...Iraq's banks...haven't completed this important step. This will be essential because using a bridge currency will make it very simple to go to any bank on any day and take care of your exchange with settlement happening in seconds.

5-3-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  Al-Zaidi’s success depends on how he balances...competing interests and sets clear priorities. The US support is real but conditional, as Washington is watching closely for progress on stability, economic reforms, and limiting militia influence. I see this as...a test of whether al-Zaidi can turn political deals into an actual functioning government. US support is helpful for stability right now, but it comes with expectations. Al-Zaidi has a tough balancing act ahead of him. The political side remains messy, but the foundational economic and infrastructure work keeps moving on.

5-3-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  If the Trump administration establishes a timeline to help Iraq adjust its economy or its currency, it will happen in the next two years.  Trump leaves office on the 1st of 2029.  Iraq must get control over three things: 1. Corruption, which it is now doing.  2.  Disarmament of Iran-backed militants.  3.  Control over its currency, which the CBI is actively doing.

​5-3-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  The United States is the last final only remaining country that still has sanctions on the country of Iraq.  Notice how Iraq's new prime minister nominee is a "Trump Jr.".   He's a businessman.  That's because the US is having tremendous involvement in helping them form their government to achieve and remove political corruption and achieve political stability.  They get a "Trump Jr." in there, unbiased, non-politician businessman.

5-3-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  No confirmed PM, no HCL shepherd. No HCL, no rate, no RV...Iraq is assembling the political end. The US is assembling the financial end. Cabinet by May 27 unlocks HCL. HCL unlocks the rate. The rate clears into the US plumbing finishing in May.  The CBI's "working in silence" posture is reserves-protection, the same posture al-Alaq ran in 2014 when the room got tight, which says the bank is preparing the balance sheet for whatever the cabinet ratifies.

5-3-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   There's no other way in the world that the CBI would again be receiving American dollars right now if we did not have the guarantee of a new exchange rate.  IMO that is the strongest proof ever...

5-2-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu  [Response to Guest Guru Ariel's 5-1-2026 UAE/currency revaluation post below] What the UAE did by rejecting OPEC had nothing to do with currency revaluation. This action was taken so they wouldn't be under quantity restrictions and forced to use the USD as a medium of exchange. We must all look at foreign events through the veil of reality and not what we wished it meant. Iraq, and most likely Iran, are being prepped as high quality trading partners, using accepted International Trade Practices.

5-2-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  We don't push that "1 to 1" bull. The economists, educated people, will tell you that that's not possible because Iraq would go broke...That does not mean the central bank of Iraq can't allow the currency to float and that it explodes.  We don't know how the international investor community will respond...So our belief is real, but not that "1 to 1" stuff.  One dollar to one dinar, Iraq would be buried in debt.  They would not survive that kind of exchange between the US dollar and the Iraqi dinar.  Don't get upset if we're looking at 10 cents.  If you've got a million dinar, don't laugh at a hundred grand.  If you do the right things with a hundred grand in five years, you could have a million...

5-2-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu  The CBI is in complete control of the Dinar and its exchange rate. The Parliament has nothing to do with it.  All Central Banks of the world are independent corporations and are not governmental agencies.

5-2-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  Trump was getting ready to board his plane and he was asked by a reporter about the new nomination for prime minister of Iraq...  Trump Quote  "I spoke with the winner, a very good man.  As you know I was very strongly in favor of him in Iraq and we had a long conversation yesterday...He won with our help...I told him that the United States is with him all the way...The new head of Iraq is somebody that we support very strongly."  Trump said...'with our help he won'...He made it clear, we helped this new guy get elected.  So regardless of...what the rumors are saying about him or he has Iranian ties, Trump repeatedly says...we were involved in getting him into this position and Trump strongly supports this decision by Iraq to have this new prime minister.

5-2-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  Article: "President Trump personally called Prime Minister designate Zaidi to congratulate him."   He extended an official invitation to him once the new government is formed...This is a good indicator coming from the United States, all the way to the top, after weeks of applying pressure to encourage a functioning government.  Washington is now shifting towards engagement and support of Iraq. It gives Zaidi early legitimacy and helps reduce short-term external friction during the transition.  I think he's got a lot.

5-1-2026   Guest Guru Thom  Today is the most active day of Zaidi's formation process so far. Two financial meetings — Finance Minister AND CBI Governor — in a single day, while a U.S. law firm publicly clears his name and the Coordination Framework signals urgency.  The formation clock is running and Zaidi is moving like a man who knows it. Watch the CBI meeting closely — that's where the dinar story lives.

5-1-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu   ...Some corners of the dinar speculation community have greeted al-Zaidi's nomination as a bullish signal, a business-minded technocrat who will "finally" push through the economic reforms that lead to revaluation. Some have gone further, interpreting the end of the political deadlock as itself a precursor to the long-promised "RV."  This reading 
misunderstands how currency policy works at almost every level. The Central Bank of Iraq, not the prime minister, sets exchange rate policy, and the CBI issued a formal statement as recently as November 2025 confirming there is "no intention whatsoever to amend the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar."

He was getting Iraq very close to the level of stability needed for the currency reformation back to a nominal value, back on FOREX and finally out of the sanction mode. The  question now is will Al-Zaydi also betray the Iranian led majority block and instead look out for the Iraqi people and continue al-Sudani’s work?   I believe this may be the case and so we wait and watch. 

5-1-2026   Guest Guru Ariel   What UAE did with OPEC and what Iraq is about to do along with Iran are not separate incidents but a coordinated progression towards a unified goal for currency revaluation.

4-30-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence   Baghdad's reading is not Washington's. The Coordination Framework picked a businessman...He has never held public office. He has never run for one...Iraqi-press channels...are reading the pick as the coalition buying itself another negotiating cycle. Sudani's bloc and the Framework's larger blocs both expect al-Zaidi may not clear the 167-vote confidence floor inside the 30-day window. A failed nomination resets the constitutional clock under Article 76 and hands the coalition another month.  Washington signs the chair because the man in it is personally clean, and Baghdad picked the same man because he is structurally disposable. Neither side expects the cabinet clock to close their problem in 30 days.

4-29-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  "Fox News: The Development Road puts Iraq at the heart of global trade routes and limits Iranian influence"  Quote:  "This project could contribute to reducing Iranian influence within Iraq, by redirecting the economic compass towards more independent international trade routes.  They pointed out that the 'development path' could constitute a strategic shift in the nature of the Iraqi economy, by moving it from a rentier state model dependent on oil to a logistical state that depends on regional and international transport and trade."

4-29-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu  This notion that there are secret "BONDS" which have an arbitrary maturity date is just more DINAR MYTHOLOGY.   A bond has a fixed amount, a fixed percentage return, and a fixed date of maturity...There are NO arbitrary maturity dates. There is NO "BOND SIDE" to the Dinar investment.

4-29-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  Al-Zaidi is a businessman, this new prime minister candidate.  He's academic with experience, but he carries baggage.  It's from his past role at the Al-Janoob Islamic Bank which faced restrictions.  That background will draw extra scrutiny from gatekeepers in the US.  It is not the cleanest or the most reform oriented outcome that many hope for...
 
4-29-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Nothing is happening in Iraq till this government is done.  That's why they even came out a couple weeks ago saying Iraq's 2026 budget will not get approved until the government is formed...We don't have to wait for the prime minister to form his entire cabinet.  He just needs to form the majority of his cabinet...and then it can go to a final parliamentary vote.

4-29-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article:  ”The US Embassy in Baghdad congratulates al-Zaidi on his appointment to form the government"  Quote: "The United States Mission in Iraq extends its best wishes to Prime Minister-designate Ali al-Zaidi in his efforts to form a government capable of fulfilling the aspirations of all Iraqis for a brighter and more peaceful future....and building a prosperous future that brings tangible benefits to both Americans and Iraqis."

4-29-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   Al-Zaidi...is not the official prime minister yet.  He is the nominee.  He does have 30 days to form a new government.  If he cannot form the new government within the next 30 days then they're going to pick someone else.  So don't think it's completely done...There are some rumors he funneled money through his bank to the IRGC.  That hasn't been proven yet...He's not personally sanctioned, the institution is...They weren't alleged over the money laundering until 2024, he left in 2019...Does the USA want this guy in there or not? ...There's really no clear evidence to say he's 100% Iranian-backed...

4-29-2026   Guest Guru Ariel   Foreign investors buy local bonds → they need local currency to settle→central bank prints or releases more local units → supply/demand imbalance pushes the currency stronger in the short-to-medium term.  This is textbook revaluation pressure, not fantasy. Vietnam is running this playbook right now. They are flooding international markets with bonds,  strong in capital, and watching the Dong strengthen as money floods in. This is not random. It’s coordinated... Iraq is under the exact same mechanics...When Iraq sells sovereign or reconstruction bonds internationally (already happening quietly through backchannels), foreign capital pours in, forces dinar demand, and compresses any remaining resistance to a strong, tradable rate...

4-29-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]  Comments:  Appears we have a new PM for Iraq…Ali Ali-Zaldi...His background is banking and finance.  MarkZ:   Yes we have a Prime Minister Designate. Now he needs to form the rest of his government. Looks like finally Sudani and Maliki have stepped aside. 

4-28-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   When Trump froze his dollars from entering [Iraq] he broke the hand of the thieves from Iran in your country.  He is causing [the dinar's] exchange rate to break free from its captivity...because...this [new] prime minister will be staring at his nation at a suffocated economy simply because the rate hasn't changed.

4-28-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article  "Diplomatic official: Two phases of US sanctions begin with halting dollar transactions and could extend to freezing Iraqi funds" Quote:  "Iraqi oil revenues have been deposited into an account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York since 2003. He indicated that these funds had not been sent to Iraq for approximately four months...before the White House officially suspended their transfer three weeks ago...The second phase involves freezing all Iraqi funds... Iraq has two accounts... one at the Federal Reserve Bank and the other at JPMorgan Chase, with warnings that Washington may freeze these assets in both banks."

4-28-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man   Reforms are not pausing for perfect conditions.  Is it ever going to be perfect?  I don't think so.  Is it ever perfect here or anywhere for that matter?  I don't think so anymore.  Not at all.  They're just moving forward.  That's all there is to it...building buffers, reducing dependencies and strengthening the foundation for deeper global  integration and manage strengthening of the dinar when they feel prudent. 

4-28-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Getting to the position of the rate change, we still have a ways to go...Everything in Iraq takes time...Maliki and Sudani nominated their prime minister candidate.  It's Al-Zaidi...He has 30 days to form the government, then after that it requires a final formal parliamentary approval...

4-28-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   The USA is doing a lot of surgical things to make sure that as much Iranian power and as much Iranian influence is out of the country of Iraq. 

4-28-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu  The up-to-the-minute status...of the IQD is much improved and this status report brings us up to the current date in April, 2026. It looks as if all restrictions on holding, owning, and trading the IQD have been lifted. One would assume there is no obstacle remaining for a revaluation. So what's the deal? The only impediment is the human factor IE:  The IMF.

4-28-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  al-Zaidi prime-minister-designate of Iraq...chairs Al-Janoob Islamic Bank for Investment and Finance.  The same bank the Central Bank of Iraq pulled from the daily dollar auction February 4 2024...Reason cited: dollar smuggling to Iran. Why this name? Why is the IRGC commander shaping the Iraqi PM pick in person, this week, after years of doing it by phone?  Because the dinar auction is the last clean USD rail Tehran has, and it runs through al-Zaidi's bank.  The regime needs it open through the cabinet vote.  Tehran is putting their bank chair in the PM office and praying for one more month. The phone in Baghdad is ringing. Trump holds the veto. Treasury holds the trigger. Tehran is out of moves.

4-28-2026   Intel Guru Frank26    [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]   OMAR:  Zaidi is the candidate for the prime minister picked by the Coordinated Framework.  Turns out he is a compromise...USA seem to be ok because he doesn't have any direct ties to Iran... Everybody can tolerate didn't actually everybody love.  He has 30 days to pick his cabinet...and only then the parliament vote on the whole team as a package...  FRANK:  Next thing is your government will be formed.  Everything else should follow in place after those 30 days which leads to a new exchange rate...

4-28-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   News coming out of Iraq.  Iraq has nominated a prime minister.  This man is new in the Iraqi politics arena and he's known for business and banking... He is considered to be a technocrat, meaning he has a strong professional background rather than being a career politician ... This is good news for Iraqi dinar investors...He is viewed as someone who understands money, economic systems and how to manage large organizations ...Now, as a prime minister designate, he has the task of forming a government...

4-28-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ  [via PDK]  On the bond side. From what I was getting over the weekend…the first possibility of someone receiving funds is Tuesday evening. I know a couple scheduled for Wednesday. They swear this is it, and they are so excited. I will cross my fingers and hope for them. When its good for them…it’s good for us. I was told that it would be quickly…within hours of bonds going if it’s a shotgun. But Paymasters have told me they believe it will be at least 3 days…. I was  originally told there was supposed to be about 10 days between. We were supposed to get bonds…then 10 days later we currency holders were supposed to be at the banks. This was the plan 20 years ago. I have heard now it will be a shorter period of time now and they have condensed this because they wont be able to keep things quiet.

4-27-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  Everything I'm seeing, all of the steps taken and all of the pressure being put on Iraq, I don't know what else to say besides the fact that it is exciting.

4-27-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  If you have noticed...little by little, the truth about the monetary reform is coming out.  And today, the volcano exploded with a lot of information about the monetary reform...

4-27-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   The Central Bank has been reducing the amount of dinars in circulation.  That one factor should tell you that sooner or later they're coming for our Iraqi dinars.  Less currency floating around means less pressure on the exchange rate...Iraq still has strong oil revenue...Iraq has been exploring oil by truck out the back door across the border.  Now Iran is allowing Iraqi oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz... And finally, Iraq has been cracking down on the black market dollar sales.  They prevent the unofficial exchange rate from drifting too far away from the official rate...The central bank is actively controlling supply and demand and access to dollars every single day and that's the bottom line...The IQD is not a free market currency.  It's a managed currency.

4-27-2026    Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu   [Response to Guru Sandy Ingram's 4-24-2026 Iraq's money Post below]  This money has been kept at the New York Federal Reserve Bank since the sanctions were applied. When Iraq was acting like they had good sense, the USA was quite generous and lenient with allowing withdrawals, but Iraq has been acting like a defiant 2 year old for about a year or more now and if the USA was being technically intentioned, they would only let them have enough money to buy food and medicine  which has historically been the rules of the Trust...These people...cannot play by the rules. They must submit and realize...if they want any slack at all, they will do exactly as Trump says....I told you the RV would be over a year away...I used deductive and empirical logic and assumed their faulty electoral system would function like normal...which is often, NOT AT ALL! 

4-27-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   The closer we get to our..."big event", the news is going to be a lot more misleading than you've ever witnessed...It's by design.  It's how they keep us from understanding and keep the confusion alive of what's going on...

4-27-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Monday morning Iraq woke up outside its constitutional window. The Article 76 shot clock ran out the night before. The Coordination Framework's consensus name, Iraqi Intelligence chief Hamid al-Shatri, was rejected by Maliki's bloc late Sunday. Empty bench. Shot clock at zero. Second constitutional breach of 2026.

4-27-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  We are at a very critical crossroads here.  It's time for Iraq to either piss or get off the pot...We are either going to see a revaluation or redomination in the near future or their country goes to complete chaos and backwards by decades.  Those are the only options.  The USA is pressuring them like I have never seen them pressure them before to act and do something...I truly believe everything is preparing for what we have been waiting and believing for which is an Iraqi dinar revaluation.

4-27-2025   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  ...right now, today you can go on FOREX and see the trends for the Kuwaiti dinar...1 KWD is equal to $3.24 USD. Yes, the KWD is the strongest currency in the world. Take a look at the assets of Iraq as they more than double that of Kuwait. Yes, Iraq right next door to Kuwait. Why would anyone doubt that the IQD could possibly come out on a reinstatement at $4.80...

4-26-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu  Article:  "Moody's has changed its outlook on the Government of Iraq to negative from stable and affirmed the long-term issuer ratings at Caa1...The change in the outlook to negative reflects rising risks to Iraq's credit profile stemming from the conflict in the Middle East, as risks to energy flows and the security situation remain elevated."  This verifies my contention that the war is and has caused serious degradation of the economic outlook for Iraq. Two steps backwards.

4-26-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  If you are an investor in the Iraqi dinar, you should be very encouraged and feel very positive about what the investment that you hold.  I know I am.  I believe we're going to see some major movement and some major change in the near future.

4-26-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man   Oil prices are rising on supply concerns...The medium and heavy was somewhere around $122.  That's big...because their budget is at $70.  That's $50 over.  That's a lot of money.  At the same time this is taking place Iraq is actively working on alternative routes and domestic production to reduce single point of risk.

4-26-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram   The Strait of Hormuz...What would happen if and when oil hits $200 a barrel?  The Iraqi budget wouldn't just balance, it would explode in a massive surplus.  Is this the event that would trigger the IQD currency adjustment?  Iraq's economy depends on oil and their budget will balance if oil is priced at $70 per barrel.  If oil goes to $150 to $200 a barrel, Iraq's foreign reserves would double within months.  We already know they have $100 billion in foreign reserve in the United States...This is not a pie in the sky assessment.  This is an assessment global economists can clearly see and now you can see.

4-26-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu  Article: "Cylinder Seal...proposes a Digital Iraqi Dinar (Digital IQD) as a sovereign Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) designed not merely as a modern payment system, but as a direct instrument of economic and trade policy."  This is just as I told you. Iraq will use the CBDC for trade and payments. The citizens will still have the paper  Dinar for commerce in country. The next step is to redenominate the Dinar and require the citizen to exchange the three zero notes for the new currency and only have a very short window to do so and at the same time the window closes, the RV will take place giving the citizens spending power and we will then have three zero notes worth the RV rate even though our notes will still have three zeros. This could take some time, perhaps additional years.

4-26-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   This past week we have President Donald Trump directly getting involved and halting $500 million US dollars from going to the country of Iraq...Iraq operates pretty much on the US dollar because the Iraqi dinar is essentially worthless.  So their country is flooded with US dollars.  A lot of the US dollars that have been flowing to Iraq since 2003 have been directly sent to the country of Iran.  This is why...the entire Iranian regime coming down was such a critical and massive step for Iraq to break free from their stronghold and be able to become independent and revalue or reinstate they currency which is what all of us investors are hoping for.  We're seeing it all happen before our very eyes.

4-25-2025   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  It appears that there are still some doubters about this investment in the Iraq dinar. With my knowledge and study of the revaluation of the Iraq dinar I do not think, but I know, this dinar is going to revalue soon and it will revalue under the Trump administration. All Chapter VII sanctions are gone as well as all other obstacles except one  including the OFAC sanctions which limits trading of the IQD, meaning it is not yet on FOREX or other currency trading platforms. This is the last step and this step is going to happen soon as it has to for the Trump plan for Iraq to get investors flocking into Iraq.   I am not saying it will happen tomorrow but my CBI contact recently told me they are already conducting the re-education phase to make citizens aware that this removing of the zeros is coming. Why would they do this now again?  My contact is on the committee to roll out the lower denominations when this even occurs. Do not get discouraged...

4-24-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  On Thursday in Baghdad, parliament extended its own term by 30 days.  Surprise level = zero.  Every Iraqi cabinet formation since 2005 has missed its constitutional clock. The 2018 cycle ran eight months before key ministries were filled. The 2022 cycle ran more than a year before a government stood up...The room parliament walked back into is the one that matters.  The 2026 budget is closed...Article 24 blocks new borrowing until a seated parliament passes a law. The oil-proceeds cash pallets through the Federal Reserve Bank of New York are halted. Reserves stress was signaled on Iraqi state television this week. That corners the CBI to two levers: draw down reserves, or reprice the dinar. One of those got a signal this week.  The other did not.  Well not yet anyway...

4-24-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ  [via PDK]   there is a constitutional requirement to have the vote to place the candidate for Prime Minister. They are saying that on Friday…which is today, they will pick that person.

4-23-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick  No bank manager, bank officer, no bank in Iraq that I know of talk to Alaq.  They all hate him.  All these banks are waiting...They all want the new exchange rate but this fool won't release it.  And why?  It's because of his ties with Iran.  But those ties have come to an end and Trump isn't playing anymore...Everybody knows purchasing power is what is needed to make this country work, but [Alaq] refuses...Alaq, raise the value and stick around or Alaq get the hell out of the way for the new exchange rate.  That's where we're at...

4-23-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu   Iraq receives $40 billion dollars per year in investment money from China. Iran has supplied vast amounts of oil to China to keep its production moving...Oil supply has nearly stopped and the dark fleet is out of business due to the blockade. China is under extreme stress therefore the diversification effort in Iraq has severely slowed...Crippled diversification effort all but eliminates any chance for an RV of the Dinar any time in the near future. This is how the Iran war severely affects Iraq and their economic revival so the claims that the Iran conflict has no bearing on the RV are false. The war is going to drag on for awhile and China has already been adversely affected and Iraq's diversification and expansion projects are already suffering. Sometimes 2+2=4...

4-23-2026   Newshound Guru Samson  Article:  "EXCLUSIVE: MILES CAGGINS: WASHINGTON IS USING THE 'WEAPON OF ECONOMICS' TO DISTANCE IRAQ FROM TEHRAN"

4-23-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  This is unbelievable.  The US Treasury Department has blocked an aircraft that was carrying $500 million US banknotes from Iraq's oil revenue...The United States has shut down the money flow from Iraq's own money because of the Iran-backed militants in the country...and have also paused parts of its security cooperation with the Iraqi military according to the Wall Street Journal.  This move is intended to increase pressure on Baghdad to take action against powerful Iran aligned groups operating inside of the country Iraq...

4-23-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   Present Trump means business...This is all positive stuff.  It might seem negative.  It might seem like, 'oh my gosh the USA is threatening to pull support for Iraq and the country is going to fall apart.'  Everything is working together. We are watching a beautify puzzle come together and all of these little puzzle pieces that we are not even aware of as dinar investors, are all coming together.  There's so much happening behind the scenes...We need Iranian influence out of Iraq before this [RV] event does take place.
 
4-23-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Question: "All this talk about removing the zeros, is that in country only?"  No, they can't do things only within country.  Anytime the value of the dinar is posted on the CBI website that's publicly global.  Nothing's just in Iraq.

4-23-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   [via PDK] There was a real good piece out “Iraq has been ready for 20 years”... It talks about how Iraq has been ready for a long time. But they have not been allowed to because the Deep State has using them to funnel and launder funds through Iran. The author makes a very compelling case how Iraq may revalue in this process going on right now.  Very interesting article. 

4-23-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Article:   “WASHINGTON HAS HALTED DOLLAR SHIPMENTS TO IRAQ UNTIL A NEW IRAQI GOVERNMENT IS FORMED”  we learn one of the measures the US is using to threaten Iraq to disarm the Iranian backed militia is to cut off shipments of dollars to Iraq...These current U.S. sanctions appear to be about the sanctioning of the actual airborne flights of paper dollars into Iraq... Will it actually help Iraq more than hurt it in curbing the parallel market since the paper dollars will dry up. Maybe this is something that should have been done a long time ago? It will bring up the rate of the dinar.

4-23-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]  ...one particular source says we are on high alert for...Thursday [today]... redemption center leaders are going in on Thursday... it could be exchanges over the weekend, that's very likely...We are that close. We're on high alert...Thursday...and then we'll see what happens between Thursday and the weekend.


4-22-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  I think we're closer than ever.  I don't know when it's going to happen.  Obviously I would love for it to happen tomorrow.  Will it happen tomorrow?  Probably not.  I do believe we're in a 12-month window.  I believe it most likely will happen in the next 12 months, hopefully sooner... 

4-22-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Many...have stated deleting the zeros refers to taking zeros off the exchange rate...Very misleading, inaccurate information...It means taking three zeros off the currency notes.  In other words, ending, eliminating, removing three zeroed or multiple zero currency notes.  It has nothing to do with the exchange rate.  Only the currency notes.   Getting them, phasing them out, removing them, getting them out of circulation to replace.  They're going to be replacing multiple  zero currency notes with smaller currency notes.  Why?  Because the US sanctions are coming off and Iraq has little to no  inflation.

4-22-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  They have officially started the project of the lifting of the three zeros...from the exchange rate to add value to the currency.  Here's the problem.  They say that all the time...But this is the first time it's being done with Donald Trump.

4-22-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Parliament backed the Central Bank's monetary independence as a principle. That is a different question from what the banks think of the man in the governor's seat. On the same week the parliament speaker walked into the governor's office, the central bank issued the ninety-page supervisory framework that binds fifteen Islamic bank licences to  the International Financial Services Board standard on capital adequacy. The institutional track keeps running under the operator who has refused for a year to touch the rate. The plumbing continues to tighten.

4-22-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  The headlines can feel loud with regional tensions but underneath that noise the real signals we've been tracking continue to show a quiet but steady progress on reforms, diversification and political cleanup taking place.

4-22-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu   Governor Ali Al-Alaq has described "Deleting the Zeroes" as an ongoing internal technical project. No new banknotes have been printed. No public education campaign has launched. No timeline has been announced. The Central Bank has explicitly linked any future redenomination to achieving economic stability first -- not the other way around...In November 2025, the CBI...issued a formal public statement rejecting rumours of any exchange rate change, stating there is "no intention whatsoever to amend the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar..." This comes directly from the CBI...It is difficult to imagine a clearer official denial. 

4-22-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  Why has Iraq not disarmed the Iran-backed militants?  This has gotten totally out of hand. Other countries in the Middle East are calling on Iraq to explain why missiles are leaving Iraq and landing in their countries. This is really serious....How does this affect our investment?  ...We are unsure what hold Iran has over Iraq...Religious ties may 
be behind the unusual bond between the two countries...As investors, we may need to wrap our heads around the fact that Iran will always be in the picture.  Does Iran want Iraq's currency to adjust to a higher value?  Probably, but we can't be sure.  At least not yet.

4-22-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen   I have never seen this much pressure ...movement...heat on Iraq...You have President Trump directly calling out Iraq, telling them not to reelect al-Maliki as their Prime Minister.  You have US delegations going back and forth to Iraq negotiating with them...Now the fact that the USA has said, 'We are now holding the US dollar over your head, and if you don't comply, if you don't get rid of all the Iranians in your government, we are no longer sending you dollars.'  The is a huge huge deal.  Probably one of the biggest developments since 2003...I think this is a good pressure we are now putting on the country.

4-22-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   The formation of Iraq's government is the lynch pin to the rate change...It's all coming together...They are setting the stage to revalue...We're extremely close to the timing of the rate change...Good news is coming...
 
4-22-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article:   "Because of the 'factions,' Washington is preventing the transfer of $500 million in oil revenues to Baghdad" Quote:  "The Wall Street Journal quoted the US State Department as confirming that Washington expects Iraq to take concrete steps to dismantle these groups, stressing that Baghdad's 'failure' to prevent attacks targeting US interests and its allies in the region casts a negative shadow on bilateral relations between the two countries."

4-22-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]    OMAR:
The United States of America suspends dollars to Iraq on Channel 8 Kurdish television.  FRANK:  There's no more dollars going into Iraq.  You know how exciting that is? ...That's going to put a lot of pressure for the new exchange rate because you have been using the dollar in place of a new exchange rate...This is going to put a lot of pressure on them to release the new exchange rate...I've been waiting for it to happen...I'm glad to see Trump is now implementing it.  This is going to be followed by...sanctions for individuals...

4-22-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   ...the meeting to determine the new prime minister was first supposed to happen last Saturday, then postponed until Sunday and then Monday. Now they are saying Wednesday [today]. Article quote: "...the coalition has postponed the official declaration of its candidate for Iraq’s prime minister until Wednesday." 

4-22-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]   Cliff notes from articles: In Iraq now- you can only pay for real estate whether you are renting or buying with Iraqi Dinar. They can no longer use the US dollar. It has to be in dinar. This is huge. We were told they would do this. It took them a long time. 


4-21-2026   Newshound Guru Samson   Article:  "GOVERNMENT ADVISOR: INFLATION REMAINING BELOW 3% REFLECTS THE EXISTENCE OF A SYSTEM THAT HAS SUCCESSFULLY ABSORBED SHOCKS"  Quote: "Saleh explained that although the parallel market witnessed significant deviations in the exchange rate, reaching about 16%, from its rates before the Hormuz shock and the 12-day war before it this year, the annual inflation rate remained below 3%, noting that this paradox reflects the existence of an integrated economic policy system that succeeded in absorbing shocks and limiting their transmission to the general price level.”

4-21-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen This is going to be a very large wealth event for a lot of people.  If you have never managed money before, let alone managed a significant amount of money before, the you're not protected.  If you're not wise, if you don't know what questions to ask, if you're not fully prepared, then you're going to be a target. Not using wise judgement you're going to probably lose a lot more money that you initially had to...I think we're closer than ever and having a plan in place is very very critical.

4-21-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   If everything is done with the full government formation by Saturday...There's a very good chance the rate can change this month of April.  That's all that we're looking for.  We're extremely close to the end of this ride.

4-21-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]   On Tuesday articles say there were behind the scenes meetings to confirm the Prime Ministers file. Confirming the withdrawal of Maliki and Abadi.  The vote took place with 9 leaders out of 12. Sudani abstained from the vote. Tomorrow they will announce the official candidate for Prime Minister. 

4-21-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu    As you know...I am a proponent of using Trusts to mitigate taxes...I was recently made aware...our Dinar are classified as Exotic / Collectibles...IRS code 408 (m) has a special taxation amount of 28%...Yes, nearly 1/3 of your Dinar value. The only way I know to avoid the collectible tax is to use a Charitable Remainder Uni-Trust which is an irrevocable trust that is exempt from Capitol Gains taxes. My Dinar are in such a trust...   [Dinar Guru Note: Consult your tax and asset protection professionals to determine the best tax strategy for your unique circumstances.]

4-21-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  Because of Hormuz, what is taking place is Iraq is going to be in the driver's seat at the end of the day and already showing signs of that...If they were to keep it closed, they can still get by.  Big. 

4-21-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  OMAR:  The television is saying the United States of America has halted the shipment of dollars to our country until the government is formed.  We also see the United States of America has also halted security.  FRANK:  What do you need for your new exchange rate?  Security and stability...You know what to do.  Get rid of those idiots, raise the value of your currency and form your government... Trump is not playing games.

4-21-2026   Intel Guru Reset Intelligence  Al-Alaq's public statement is that the Central Bank of Iraq is constantly reviewing the deletion of the zeros from the dinar. Ground sources report that the banking sector has lost patience with the governor personally...The institution [CBI] is moving. The operator [Alaq] is still reading scripts.

4-21-2026   Newshound Guru Paulette  The name of Ihsan Al-Awadi as a new candidate...may be acceptable...although I am still selfishly hoping for Mahdi whose COM authored the White Papers "Pillars for Economic Reform"...after all, they were a roadmap to return the IQD to Forex...Ihsan Al-Awadi was part of the Mahdi government so at least that may be beneficial...

4-21-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article:  "Dinar only for purchasing residential units" Quote: "Local sources confirmed National Investment Authority Investment authorities in all governorates are committed to implementing the applicable instructions and regulations regarding the sale and lease of residential units within investment projects, which stipulate the exclusive use of the Iraqi dinar in all sales and installment transactions, emphasizing the prohibition of dealing in any foreign currency... these measures are part of supporting the state's monetary policy and strengthening confidence in the national currency, as well as reducing exchange rate fluctuations...The commission called on "citizens to report any violations in this regard."

4-21-2026   Newshound Guru Samson   Article: "INVESTMENT AUTHORITY : THE DINAR WILL BE THE SOLE CURRENCY FOR THE SALE OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS"  Quote:  "It affirmed that violating entities will be held legally accountable under the relevant laws."

4-21-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen  Quite a few people sending me the same article.  It is actually a pretty big development when it comes to the US/Iraq relationship...and important for the Iraqi dinar.   Article: "Washington has halted US dollar shipments to Iraq until a new government is formed."  The US is telling Iraq they want all of the Iranian influence, any Iranian leadership out...We don't want them involved in your new government... The US is holding over Iraq's head saying, 'Hey if you don't...get rid of all Iranian influence and leadership in your newly formed movement then we are no longer going to send you US dollars like we have been for the last 23 years.'  This is probably the biggest breakdown of US/Iraq talks in the last 23 years.  This is a really big deal...I think this is a good thing...

4-21-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   The US is halting or postponing sending US dollars to Iraq to light a fire under their rear to get them to form the government sooner.  

4-21-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ  [via PDK]  I am expecting a crazy week. I hear rumors that this is our week…but they also said that last week and we did not get it.

4-21-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  Every time the Project to Delete the Zero has come up, the Central Bank has said the same thing: “this is an administrative reform, not a revaluation, and it will not change the exchange rate”. ...this statement was...factual information from the CBI...This is not a revaluation...it is the reinstatement and NOT the redenomination that we want and this is what will get us to the bank. It is this that will bring us the change in the rate of the dinar sizable that we all want and not the Project to Delete the Zeros.  ...However, having said this the project to delete the zeros, in the master plan of a revaluation, must precede the reinstatement.

 
4-20-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  Parliament is publicly reinforcing CBI independence and coordination which reduces political risk and strengthens the foundation for deeper integration into the global financial system.  That's what's taking place aside from al the noisy stuff, the Hormuz situation, diversification is still working, still taking place.  Investors know this.  Nobody's left.  You don't see Chevron...Seaman's...those big companies pack bags...

4-20-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  They're removing three zeros from the exchange rate, end of story.

4-20-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article:  "News: The United States halts dollar shipments to Iraq" Quote: "Informed sources revealed today that the United States has halted dollar shipments to Iraq and linked their resumption to the formation of the new government, in a move that reflects escalating political and security pressures between the two sides."  

4-20-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  Everything is looking really good. Everything is moving in the right direction as Iran is now out of the way.  Iraq is moving forward, getting everything they need to get done to prepare...their critical steps towards revaluing.  They're getting all those steps timed with the government formation. Everything's coming together very nicely for us. 

4-20-2026   Newshound Guru Stephen I know people who have well over six figures into the Iraqi dinar.  They have over $100,000 in the Iraqi dinar, which means they have over a hundred million dinar.  Some people I know have 5 million, 10 million.  Some people I know have a few hundred bucks worth.  We're all in different buckets. 

4-20-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu  [Response to Guru Stephen's 4-19-2029 Exchange time limit post below] [Guru] Stephen has it almost correctly stated. Iraq will remove the zeroes first, then give the IRAQI's a short time to bring the old three zero notes in or they will be void. Close to the same time, they will increase the value (RV)... immediately after the deadline expires. That leaves the Dinar out of the country, such as us investors, 10 years to redeem our Dinar so they have said several times. The CBI said the new currency and old currency will co-exist for 10 years.

4-20-2026   Newshound Guru Samson  Article "IN NUMBERS… IRAQ IS ON THE LIST OF THE MOST STABLE ARAB COUNTRIES WITH THE INFLATION RATE IN 2026"

4-20-2026   Newshound Guru Reset Intelligence  Al-Alaq's desk is still the place the rate-release decision lands. The parliament speaker aligning with the central bank on independence of monetary policy while the sector publicly loses patience with the operator [Alaq] is the setup for a governor change that leaves the institution intact. Ernst and Young on Rafidain and Rasheed is the clean external auditor that makes the desk succession defensible...The zero-removal graphic on state television is the message the new desk will ratify rather than explain. [Reference Guru Frank26's 4-19-2026 'Three-zero's lifted' image below.] 

4-20-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  Heavy crude topped up about $117 a barrel.  That's a big big amount of money over the $70 budget, padding those reserves...They talk about their reserves.  They talk about their gold. They talk about all these things. Saleh has been hammering it home.  He's been giving reassurances for quite some time.  Nothing has changed from that aspect...  

4-20-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  The next step is to give the citizens of Iraq purchasing power.  How are you going to give the citizens of Iraq purchasing power?  By introducing a new exchange rate followed by redenomination with lower notes because the lower notes would replace the three zero notes...They're not printing a new currency but they are educating the Iraqi citizens about a new currency that they've never dealt with before so it's not a shock to the system.  Tomorrow they'll tell them even more.

4-20-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article: "Currency printing in Iraq: Between financial need and economic risks to the dinar" Quote: "Concerns are mounting in Iraqi economic circles about the possibility of the government resorting to printing money without real backing in gold or dollar reserves. Experts describe this as an 'unsound option' due to its direct negative impact on the value of the national currency and economic stability."

4-20-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  June 20, 2021 they set two conditions for deleting the currency.  Article "Al-Kazemi's financial advisor:  Deleting three zeros from the currency is an option" Quote "The first condition is price stability and global economic growth, and the second is appropriate stability in political life."  They clearly tell you from the central bank, political stability is the number one thing you're looking for as a dinar investor to know when they're going to be ready to revalue the currency...That's why Iraq has been telling you they're going implement the banking reforms after the government is formed because they're going to revalue after the government is formed.

4-20-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ  [via PDK]   I was told first would come farm claims, then prosperity packages …then bonds and funds like CMKX etc…Then Mr. C. and currencies. The time frame between these are very short…very compressed. I was once told that when farm claims start…maybe 10 days before they get to currencies. I am hopeful this is true.

4-20-2026   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]  ...President Trump...had a...post...that was talking about worldly reset taking place...We use the term Global Currency Reset...I believe he was  referring to...the Global Currency Reset...the wording he said was slightly different. So there are things like that that are happening.  

4-20-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Iraq has been discussing removing zeros from its currency for at least fifteen years. The latest information flooded the news channels last fall 2025... I still truly believe there was a great potential at that time to RV had it not been for the Iranian interference in the 2025 election cycle. This interference is what is taking the election process so long to complete...
