Iraqi Dinar Guru opinions 5-8-2026

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.

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.
