3-9-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff I want you to realize how close you are to the rate change. When you look at this more from the angle of what they’re doing versus what they tell you, you can see how close you are to the timing of the rate change. When the war ends, they can quickly form the government…After the president is done and voted in there’s only three pieces left. Announcing the prime minister, the prime minister completing his cabinet and then a final parliamentary vote and approval on his cabinet…If they extend Sudani’s term you get all three final remaining steps done which would allow them to potentially revalue in the remaining month of March.

Let’s talk about not only when the rate is going to change…but what’s really happening…Are they even having sessions of parliament? Is the government doing anything? Absolutely not. Zero in Iraq. They’re not doing anything right now…The formation of Iraq’s government is the lynch pin to the rate change…The formation o Iraq’s government gets them back on the world stage. It’s a critical level of stability needed… Read more…

3-7-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat …we are going to see this reinstatement shortly now that this matter of the elections is just about over. However let me say this – I do not expect any reinstatement until the clashes in Iran are over…my CBI contact suggested this to me too…The CBI is ready to move but needs a stable government to get permission from the U.S. With what is now going on in Iran I don’t believe for a second that the US is going to allow the reinstatement at least until this is over.

3-5-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 Question: “What will a fair exchange rate be?” The government of Iraq wants it to be at least on par with the dollar, 1 to 1. If you have a million dinars, you have a million dollars. But you have to realize this is an RI. It’s not an RV…This is a reinstatement. So it’s possible that they may reinstate the value, which is $3.22 and then you have the float which will take $3.22 higher. Read more…

3-3-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff I talked about we’re looking to see this go of two directions. Possibly to where a newly created Iranian regime government is going to want to work with Trump and have dialogue or it’s just going to go ugly sideways and Trump and the rest of the Middle East is going to keep blowing them up…That’s the direction it’s going right now…The news…said the Iran war could last up to 4 weeks. I don’t think that … I’m thinking two and a half to three weeks…Trumps says the Iran operation could take 4 weeks or less… Read more…

2-28-26 Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ [via PDK] In Iraq: “Central Bank of Iraq reforms pave the way for liquidation and broad mergers” The CBI announces the completion of the main step in its comprehensive reform process. Banks could either merge with other banks or sell themselves and close their doors or come up to speed internationally with KYC (know your customer) and tracking money . So this is the “completion” of its main step. They told us in their “white papers” that this is one of the biggest steps before they lift the purchasing power. I am excited about this. They are telling us their checklist is nearing completion. Read more…

2-27-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff We’re not far away from the rate change right now guys. It could be anywhere from a short period of time to maybe just a month or two out…Nobody knows…There’s so many things happening geopolitically that it’s kind of fluid. We don’t know if the war or the interactions between the United States and Iran is a factor in this. It could be…We have to play it safe and see what happens. Read more…

2-25-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man For those who have followed currency reforms you might remember this. Iraq’s current phase mirrors Turkmenistan’s transition back in 2009. Turkmenistan first reduced cash circulation…enforced official rates and built reserves. All those are things Iraq has done, reduced cash – Zane Cash, key card, electronic payments through the state – reduction. They enforced the official 1300 rates for three years…Three years of stacking reserves – gold, non-oil revenues, low inflation and note reduction…If all of this holds true, the data strongly suggests it does, the logical next step is a managed REER adjustment when the CBI deems prudent.

2-24-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Question: “I thought Trump gave them until Friday to form a government?” They said that but remember he gave them a deadline of this past weekend to also form the government and that deadline came and went, but then they come out today with a second deadline saying, ‘Oh, we’re only going to give you till this Friday.’ So was it last weekend or is it this next upcoming Friday? …They’re all over the board. I don’t recommend you take that information as gospel, solid, concrete information. Take everything they say with a grain of salt. Their news is scripted. It’s all over the board. Read more…

Iraqi Dinar Guru opinions 2-22-2026

2-22-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff You’ve got to retrace your steps in this. What brought the value of the dinar down in 2003? It’s called US sanctions. Right now the only remaining sanctions on Iraq are the US Treasury OFAC sanctions. So, if sanctions automatically brought the value of the the dinar down, what happens when you take sanctions off? …Wouldn’t that suggest it maybe reinstates, putting it back in the $3+ range? …You take the US OFAC sanctions off, it puts it back to $3.22… Read more…
