MORE SEVERE THAN THE 1991 EMBARGO… WHAT IS THE NATURE OF THE AMERICAN SANCTIONS THREATENING IRAQ?
Hoshyar Zebari, a leader in the Kurdistan Democratic Party, stated that the United States has threatened Iraq with sanctions even harsher than those imposed in 1991, including the SOMO company, the Central Bank, and other institutions .
Zebari said in a televised interview followed by Al-Sa’a Network, “America has confirmed that it will not deal with any government that includes representatives of some factions listed on the terrorism or sanctions lists of the Treasury Department, and they will not deal with any government, even with ministries occupied by those affiliated with the factions .”
He added that “America has threatened sanctions against SOMO, the Central Bank, and dollar flows, sanctions that are more severe than the 1991 embargo,” noting that “Washington has confirmed that it will not finance any regime or government that violates its sanctions .”
Earlier, US President Donald Trump stated that Iraq might be making a grave mistake by reinstating former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki as head of the next government .
He added that “the United States will stop helping Iraq if he is elected, and if we are not there to provide assistance, Iraq will have no chance of success, prosperity, or freedo.
MNT GOAT: Latest Status of the Iraqi Dinar RV – What to Expect
MNT GOAT: Status of the Iraqi Dinar RV – What You Need to Know
The wait for the Iraqi Dinar RV (Revaluation) has been long, and many of you are eager for updates. While the saga may seem never-ending, it’s crucial to understand the full context of what’s happening in Iraq, Iran, and the global financial landscape.
In this post, we break down the latest news, explain the differences between program and FOREX rates, and discuss why patience is still key.
The Iraqi Election Drama and Maliki
Many followers might be getting tired of the ongoing Maliki election drama in Iraq. But remember, even if the news is inconvenient, it’s honest and truthful. Reporting the facts—good or bad—is what keeps you informed.
Unlike many sources, our updates are not influenced by three-letter agencies, banks, or sponsor agendas. Every newsletter and blog post is based on thorough research and verified contacts in Iraq.
Current Status of the Dinar RV
Right now, we are in a waiting period. The focus is on Iran and the tensions involving the US and Israel. Many are speculating about a potential military strike, but current intel suggests no plans for a ground invasion. US Marines and naval fleets are on tactical standby offshore, but it’s mostly precautionary.
The Iraqi Parliament is on hold until these issues are resolved. The Iraqi speaker of parliament has suspended all sessions, reflecting the current political and regional instability.
Program Rate vs FOREX Rate – What You Must Know
One key point often misunderstood is the difference between the program rate and the FOREX rate for the Iraqi Dinar:
Program Rate: This is the in-country rate tied to a de facto peg. The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) can adjust it anytime. It’s what the public sees domestically but does not reflect open-market trading.
FOREX Rate: This is the international exchange rate. When the dinar returns to FOREX, it will be re-pegged, and the program rate will disappear.
These rates cannot coincide simultaneously. The dinar will always have one official rate at a time. Understanding this distinction is crucial for making informed decisions.
What to Expect in the Coming Weeks
The next couple of weeks are expected to be explosive. The key triggers to watch:
Resolution of Iranian influence in Iraq.
Possible US-Israel strikes on strategic Iranian targets.
Updates from the CBI regarding program and FOREX adjustments.
Patience is critical. While speculation is rampant, the facts suggest that major decisions are still pending.
Q&A Section
Q: Will the US put troops on the ground in Iraq or Iran?
A: Current intel indicates no ground invasion, only tactical deployments offshore.
Q: When will the Iraqi Dinar return to FOREX?
A: The exact timing is uncertain, but it depends on political stability and removal of foreign influence in Iraq.
Q: Can the program rate and FOREX rate ever be the same?
A: No. They are separate and serve different purposes. The program rate is domestic; the FOREX rate reflects international trading.
Featured Snippets / Highlights
The program rate is adjustable by the CBI, but the FOREX rate remains separate.
No current plan for a US ground invasion; troops offshore are precautionary.
Iraqi Parliament sessions are on hold due to regional tensions.

STATUS OF THE RV
I hope everyone is ready for a pivotal period in this Iraqi election saga. It has to come to an end eventually…. better sooner than later!
I guess many of my blog followers must be bored with hearing about the Maliki drama in the elections in Iraq? Remember that even if the news is not to your liking, it is HONEST and TRUTHFUL news. I can not make up news just to make you happy. I refuse to do it.
This brings me to the idea that it appears people don’t ‘appreciate’ bad news only good news? Remember too that my level of research, calls to Iraq and publishing the Newsletter twice a week is the same effort regardless if the news is good or bad. I can only report on the news as it stands, get it? I don’t listen to these three letter agencies and bankers. Yes, I get the same feedback from them as others reporting on intel of the RV, but the difference is I have common sense and not stupidity guiding me.
I do not just repeat what the tell me and then walk away. I am not selling any products with kick-backs from sponsors, I do not get subscriber fees of any kind. I only rely on generosity and those who want the TRUTH.
Is it unfortunate that this RV saga has gone on too long already and I have to ask for help for my efforts. So, having said this, let’s consider all my efforts, that is the important point.

Okay, so what is today’s news? Is there anything amazing to report?
Hang on to your seats because the next couple weeks are going to be explosive, but right now we are in waiting mode until these Iranian issues are resolved.
The main topic is of course watching for the inevitable US and Israeli bombing of Iran’s strategic sites. Will the US put boots on the ground? There are many US marines on tactical landing ships along with the naval fleets now stationed offshore. I personally don’t believe there is currently any plan for a ground invasion.
As we know the Iraqi parliament has taken a break until these issues are settled. The Iraqi speaker of parliament has put all sessions on hold. Yes, I have spoken to my CBI contact on Wednesday as usual. She assures me that unless the Iranian influence in Iraq is addressed, along with tensions from Tehran, there will not be a reinstatement. The US will not sign off and will hold it up. She said we would hear all kinds of comments about the independence of the CBI and how they can adjust the rate anytime they want. Yes this may be true but what rate are you talking about? Some don’t even realize there are two types of rates, one is the program rate and they other the FOREX rate. We all should know the difference by now. We must use our own heads to decide for ourselves, what does this mean?
It means that the ‘program’ rate tied to the de facto peg can be changed upwards or downwards by the CBI any time. This does not mean allowing the dinar back on FOREX, get it? This is still in the currency auction mode as they used while under UN sanctions. When the dinar goes back to FOREX it will be re-pegged and off the sole peg to the dollar and the program rate will go away. The newer lower denominations would have to first be rolled out. We are talking apples and oranges when we talk about these two rate types. Remember also they can NEVER coincide at the same time. The dinar can only have one ‘official’ rate. There is no such thing as an in-country rate and then a FOREX rate at the same time. Get it? When the dinar does go back to FOREX , the in-country rate (program rate) will change to the FOREX rate.
EXPERT: IGNORING US THREATS COULD PLUNGE IRAQ INTO COMPLEX CRISES
EXPERT: IGNORING US THREATS COULD PLUNGE IRAQ INTO COMPLEX CRISES
Strategic affairs expert Hussein Al-Asaad confirmed on Saturday (February 14, 2026) that the United States’ threats to impose sanctions on Iraq if any new government is formed that does not have its approval must be taken very seriously and carefullyconsidered, given their potential repercussions on the political, economic and financial stability of the country.
Al-Asaad told Baghdad Today that “Washington has multiple pressure tools, starting with financial and banking sanctions, and not ending with economic and trade restrictions, in addition to its direct impact on Iraq’s relationship with international institutions and foreign investments. Any escalation in this matter may negatively affect the value of the national currency, market activity, and the financing of vital projects.”
He explained that “the current stage requires Iraqi political forces to adopt a realistic and balanced approach, based on protecting national sovereignty on the one hand, and avoiding entering into uncalculated clashes with influential international powers on the other, especially in light of the sensitive regional conditions and internal economic challenges.”
He added that “the formation of the government must be based on a broad national consensus and a clear government program that reassures the international community about Iraq’s commitments, while at the same time preserving its independent decision-making. Ignoring or downplaying American warnings may open the door to complex crises, the price of which will be paid primarily by the citizens.”
Al-Asaad concluded by saying that “managing this file requires active diplomacy, responsible political dialogue, and a strategic vision that protects Iraq’s higher interests and prevents the use of sanctions as a tool of pressure that hinders the path of stability and state-building in the next stage.”
From time to time, political and economic warnings are raised in Iraq that any tension with influential international powers, especially in financial and economic matters, may affect market activity, investments, and foreign transactions, prompting some parties to call for a balance that combines preserving national decision-making with avoiding escalation.
MNT GOAT: Crucial Week for Iran: US Military Preparations and Potential Action
Introduction
This week marks a critical juncture in Middle Eastern geopolitics, as the United States finalizes preparations for a potential operation against Iran. With CENTCOM Commander Brad Cooper in Israel, meeting top officials, tensions are rising and analysts are closely monitoring the situation.
Understanding these developments is essential for investors, political analysts, and anyone tracking international security.

Coordination with Israel ensures intelligence sharing and contingency planning.
