Question: do we as dinar holders outside of Iraq have any assurances that when the timeframe to turn in 3 zero notes expire inside Iraq that our 3 zero notes will still be accepted?
Mnt Goat: all we know is what the CBI told us in their plan of 2011. So far my ...CBI contact said they intend to stick to the plan...all our notes will remain legal tender. Don’t let anyone discourage you.
I have been at this for 20 years and I know what they intend to do. If they change it I will be informed by my CBI contact...

🇮🇶🔥 A MAJOR STEP TOWARD STATE CONTROL IN IRAQ?
According to reports from Al Arabiya English, Iraqi armed factions have reached an understanding with a government committee to bring their weapons under state control by June 2027.
🗓️ March 2027: Strategic weapons would reportedly begin being handed over to the Iraqi government.
🛡️ The factions would also commit to ending military activity that operates outside the authority of the Iraqi state.
🏛️ After the U.S. withdrawal, their brigades would reportedly begin integration into the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF).
🌎 The parties are also working to gain U.S. acceptance of the agreement.
Why does this matter?
Because Iraq’s broader transformation is not only about economics and finance. It is also about strengthening the authority of the state.
💰 Economic reform
🏦 Financial integration 💻 Digitalization 📦 Trade modernization 🛡️ State control of weapons 🌎 International investment
For those watching Iraq’s long-term financial and monetary reforms, this could be another important piece of the bigger picture.
⚠️ This does not confirm a dinar revaluation or guarantee a specific monetary outcome. The key will be whether the agreement actually moves from understanding to implementation.
👀🇮🇶 The next milestone: March 2027. Watch the weapons. Watch the government. Watch the CBI.
The drone attack on Saudi Arabia from Iraqi territory is putting new pressure on Prime Minister Al-Zaidi to act against armed groups operating outside state control.
🚨 Iraqi forces are investigating the attack and pursuing those responsible.
⚖️ Possible consequences could include arrests, criminal charges and prosecution if the perpetrators are identified. Iraqi officials have also warned that factions refusing to disarm could face serious legal consequences.
🛡️ For Al-Zaidi, the issue goes beyond the Saudi attack: it is about ensuring that weapons, armed operations and national security remain under the authority of the Iraqi state.
💥 If those responsible are identified and prosecuted, this could become an important test of Iraq’s ability to enforce its disarmament agenda.
👀🇮🇶 The next question: Will Al-Zaidi move from warnings and negotiations to concrete action against armed factions?
Iraq has launched an urgent investigation after Saudi Arabia said drones fired from Iraqi territory damaged its East-West oil pipeline, adding pressure on Baghdad to rein in Iran-aligned armed groups.
Prime Minister Ali Falih Al-Zaidi ordered security forces to identify and pursue those responsible, after Baghdad condemned the attacks and pledged that Iraqi territory would not be used against neighboring nations.
Saudi Arabia said three drones launched from Iraq struck the pipeline near Riyadh and Madinah on Thursday, causing casualties and damage and forcing a precautionary shutdown.
Iraq closed the Shalamcheh border crossing with Iran as a precaution, and security forces launched a wider operation to detain suspects.
The Saudi pipeline offers an alternate export route bypassing the Strait of Hormuz, making the incident significant for regional energy flows already strained by the war with Iran.
Iraq is joining high-level meetings with Donald Trump and Arab leaders in New York, with discussions focused on Iran, armed groups, regional security, and Iraq’s future relationship with the United States.
🔹 The U.S.-led coalition’s military mission in Iraq is set to end on September 30.
🔹 Baghdad is working to bring armed groups under state control and strengthen national sovereignty.
🔹 Iraq is also seeking to shift its relationship with Washington from military cooperation toward investment, energy, infrastructure, and economic ties.
💰 What could this mean for the dinar?
This does NOT confirm an RV or a new exchange rate.
However, greater security, stronger economic partnerships, foreign investment, and monetary stability could become important factors for Iraq’s economic future.
👀 The key things to watch: ➡️ September 30 transition ➡️ Control of armed groups ➡️ U.S.–Iraq economic agreements ➡️ Foreign investment ➡️ CBI monetary policy ➡️ Official vs. parallel-market rates
📈 The next steps will be more important than the statements.
Iraq will take part in high-level meetings between US President Donald Trump and Arab leaders in New York this week, placing Baghdad at the center of regional talks on Iran, armed groups, and the wider Middle East conflict.
➡️ The meetings, held on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, are expected to include officials from Gulf nations, Iraq, Jordan, and Egypt.
➡️ The talks come as the US-led coalition prepares to end its military operation in Iraq on September 30 and as Prime Minister Ali Falih Al-Zaidi works to bring Iran-aligned militias under state control.
➡️ Trump's discussions with Arab leaders are expected to focus mainly on Iran and its regional network, including the Houthis, whose recent strikes on Saudi Arabia have added to regional instability.
➡️ Al-Zaidi is traveling to New York to address the UN General Assembly and meet with Trump as Iraq works to shift its relationship with Washington from military cooperation toward investment and economic ties.

Iraq’s Coordination Framework is reportedly considering a new “Sovereignty Law” that would regulate weapons held by armed factions, address Turkish forces in northern Iraq, and establish a framework for managing these security issues.
📅 The proposal comes as the September 30 deadline approaches for bringing faction weapons under state control and as the Coalition’s military mission is scheduled to conclude.
🇺🇸 Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi is also expected to discuss the weapons issue and its timeline with President Trump. The process could potentially extend into mid-2027.
💵 Baghdad is also concerned that Washington could use financial pressure, including restrictions affecting the flow of U.S. dollars.
🔎 MY ANALYSIS
This is important because Iraq may be moving from simply demanding that factions surrender their weapons toward creating a legal framework for state control, sovereignty, and foreign military presence.
If Baghdad can reach an agreement that brings weapons under state authority while addressing foreign forces, it could remove one of the major political obstacles facing Iraq.
🇮🇶 For the IQD, this does not confirm an RV, but greater political stability and stronger state control could be important foundations for broader economic and monetary reforms.
👀 The big question now: Can Iraq turn this proposal into an actual law and reach a workable agreement with the armed factions?
Iraq’s Shiite political forces are weighing a proposed “Sovereignty Law” that would regulate the handover of weapons by armed factions, establish a drone unit within the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), and address the presence of Turkish forces in northern Iraq, a source within the Coordination Framework (CF) told Shafaq News on Sunday.
The proposal was discussed during the latest CF meeting and put forward by a four-member committee tasked with negotiating with the factions.
Under the plan, local administrations in areas north of the 36th parallel would oversee the withdrawal of Turkish and other forces, while Baghdad, seeking to leverage the influence of US envoy Tom Barrack, according to the source, would handle the Turkish withdrawal from the Bashiqa camp, which lies south of the 36th parallel on Iraqi territory.
The 36th parallel is a historical reference to the no-fly zone established by the 1991 US-led Coalition over northern Iraq to protect the Kurdistan Region. The zone remained in place until 2003.
Turkish forces have been present in parts of northern Iraq for years, particularly in Nineveh province and border areas of the Kurdistan Region, including the Zlikan camp in Bashiqa district. Ankara has described its military presence as part of operations against the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which it designates as a terrorist organization. The deployment, however, has repeatedly caused tensions with Baghdad, which has called for respect for Iraq’s sovereignty and an end to the “unagreed military presence.”

On the weapons-management front, Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi is expected to discuss the regulation and management of weapons during a planned meeting with US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, the source said, noting that the talks are also expected to address a timeframe for completing the process, which could extend until the middle of next year.
On Saturday, another source told Shafaq News that al-Zaidi will press Trump to hold off on any US financial or economic sanctions on Baghdad. The appeal is tied to September 30, the date originally set by Baghdad for bringing faction weapons under state control and which also marks the scheduled end of the Coalition’s military mission in Iraq.
Behind the request is concern that the United States could halt dollar shipments to Iraq as early as next month if there is no progress. Iraq’s oil revenues are paid in dollars into an account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, giving Washington leverage over the flow of cash to Baghdad.
