Iraqi Dinar Guru opinions 5-16-2026

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 Exit Strategist 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 Exit Strategist 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 Exit Strategist 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 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. [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 Exit Strategist 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 Article: “WARNINGS AGAINST “MINISTERS OF FAILURE”… ADAI CALLS ON AL-ZIDI TO CONFRONT THE PRESSURES OF THE BLOCS AND APPOINT COMPETENT INDIVIDUALS TO MINISTERIAL POSITIONS” …Yes, they are always filling these high paying govt jobs as favoritism rather that real skill to do a competent job. Is this also why we sit here over 20 years still waiting for the RV? We are about to see it again with Nouri al-Maliki getting either a vice-presidential position or even now he wants the minister of oil, a Zaidi’s cabinet position. Did he horse trade his vote to let in al-Zaidi for this?

5-15-2026 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.
