MNT GOAT: Iraq Currency Reform & Trump’s Dollar Aid Threat: What It Means for the RV

Introduction: The Dollar Aid Threat Looms

What if President Trump carries out his threat to cut or reduce US dollar aid to Iraq?

This is not speculation — it is a real factor that could influence Iraq’s currency reform process and delay the long-awaited Iraqi dinar reinstatement (RV).

Meanwhile, the Iraqi Central Bank continues moving forward with reforms quietly and systematically. These reforms are crucial for reinstating the currency at a higher nominal rate, not just a redenomination.


Current Status of Currency Reform

  • The Project to Delete Zeros is ready but awaits political stability

  • Nouri al-Maliki’s insistence complicates timing

  • Mohammed Shia al-Sudani’s nomination could accelerate the process

  • Central Bank is prepared to execute currency reinstatement and reforms as soon as conditions allow

RV vs Reinstatement

Many call it the RV, but technically it’s a currency reinstatement:

  • Rate will jump from the suppressed 1320 IQD to the new nominal rate ($4+)

  • Unlike other countries, Iraq is not fighting hyperinflation, but resetting to pre-sanction 1991 levels

  • Redenomination is a straightforward financial process, not a “military operation” as some speculators claim


Political Impediments: Iran & Corruption

The main obstacle has always been Iranian influence and domestic corruption:

  • Corruption schemes have slowed Iraq’s currency reform progress

  • Some local players exploit corruption as a way of life

  • US support depends on five key requirements being resolved (per MNT GOAT 9/16 Newsletter)

Once resolved, the Central Bank can execute reforms efficiently.


US Dollar Aid: A Critical Lever

If the US cuts or reduces dollar aid, consequences could include:

  • Pressure on the Iraqi budget

  • Potential delays in financial stability reforms

  • Ripple effects on the timing of the currency reinstatement

  • Increased leverage over Iraq’s political decision-making

This is not merely theoretical — the US still controls much of Iraq’s dollar flows, influencing currency and economic stability.


Timing: Why This Week or Weekend RV Is Impossible

Ignore false promises from self-proclaimed “intel gurus”:

  • Claims of a military-style RV operation are absurd

  • RV cannot happen until:

    • Political issues are resolved

    • Central Bank readiness is matched with US backing

    • Currency reinstatement logistics are fully aligned

Even if the election sees a breakthrough, the process cannot be rushed — it requires methodical, deliberate execution.


Prayer & Perspective: Patience Is Key

As one blog follower beautifully wrote:

“Be still, wait on the Lord, my modern David will slay the so-called giant of Islam. It will fall; they are already begging for mercy, but it will not come as they have sinned so greatly with their blasphemy, disregarded all warnings for the Lord, and now HIS WRATH WILL CONSUME ALL WHO CURSE THE CHOSEN!!”

Patience, observation, and discernment remain critical as this situation unfolds.

What happens if Trump cuts dollar aid to Iraq?

Reduced US dollar aid could delay Iraq’s currency reforms, affect budget stability, and postpone the Iraqi dinar reinstatement (RV) until political and Central Bank conditions are aligned.


Q&A: People Also Ask

Q: Is the Iraqi RV happening this week?

A: No. It is impossible under current political and financial conditions.

Q: What is the difference between RV and redenomination?

A: Iraq’s RV is technically a currency reinstatement, increasing the suppressed rate to a new nominal value, not a typical redenomination due to hyperinflation.

Q: What role does Iran play in delaying the RV?

A: Iranian influence and domestic corruption have been major obstacles in implementing Iraq’s currency reforms.

Q: Does the US control Iraq’s dollar flows?

A: Yes. US dollar control is a key leverage point in timing and execution of currency reforms.


Final Thoughts

The RV is not about timing speculation. It is about:

  • Political resolution

  • Central Bank readiness

  • US oversight and approval

The moment these align, currency reinstatement can occur quickly. Until then, patience and careful observation are essential.

MNT GOAT

What if Trump carries out his threat (which he will) and cuts off or reduces dollar aid to Iraq?

______________________________________

There is not much more to talk about in today’s Newsletter. Iraq still waits for a breakthrough in the election cycle. Meanwhile the Central Bank is still moving ahead with its banking reforms. I am not going to get into these reforms again today as we know that the Central Bank is ready to move ahead with the currency reform project and make tangible evidence to us. They are ready right now! Yes, the Project to Delete the Zeros still sits in the wings waiting the election to show positive results. Certainly, if Iraq insists on Nori al-Maliki as their savior (lol… lol…) this process may take some more time. If he backs down and al-Sudani is nominated we could see the rest of the process fly ahead very quickly.

I encourage everyone not to even listen to these idiot intel gurus anymore telling you this RV could even happen this week or over the weekend. Simply put it is ‘impossible’.

They have been fooling you now for 20 years and so why haven’t you all have had enough of their lies? Yes, I am speaking mostly to all you TNT Tony, MarkZ, and Big idiot Bruce calls. How foolish and irresponsible of them to say these things to you. Oh… they tell you this RV is a “military” like operation. Really? This is total bizarre nonsense statement to even make. This Iraqi dinar reinstatement is not a revaluation as I have said this many times. The rate only changes to something we all want when it is reinstated. We call it the RV for short because the rate will jump from artificially suppressed rate (1320) to the nominal rate ($4+) since it will have to change accordingly with the new peg. This is a very straight redenomination process, unlike other redenominations done in many other countries such as Iran or Zimbabwe, as Iraq won’t be facing hyperinflation and resetting their currency to combat this inflation. But rather resetting to get back to pre-sanction era days (1991). It will be a resetting so they can reinstate the currency at a much higher rate. You only need to study a bit of the past from 1991 then October 2004 when they issued these larger three zero notes to understand what they are doing. 

The problem arises with Iran and it has been all about Iran all along and their corruption schemes to control the Iraq economy for their own benefit. This has stalled this currency reform process to the end stages that we now await. Yes, others too have piggybacked off the corruption to a point where it is a way of life and today normal behavior in Iraq. So, the change is coming in Iraq and like in the US, with combating all the corruption and the status quo, is not liking it. Now we are witnessing it again as Iraq entered this critical stage of successful reforms and on the edge of the next stage, which included the reinstatement. Yes it was targeted for last month.

The process to get to currency reform part is clear, resolve the five issues that the US require and they will support the reinstatement (9/16 Newsletter.) The rest is up to the Central Bank. Sorry I wish I had better news for you today. The election process appears to be on hold. We await some news any day now. This is now in God’s hands and so we must pray. This situation could change on a dime and most probably we will wake up some morning and it will be over, for the good of Iraq.

We pray-  

A nice prayer from one of my blog followers. Thank You! 

“Be still, wait on the Lord, my modern David will slay the so-called giant of Islam. It will fall they are already begging for mercy, but it will not come as they have sinned so greatly with their blasphemy, disregarded all warnings for the Lord and now HIS WRATH WILL CONSUME ALL WHO CURSE THE CHOSEN!!

AN ECONOMIC EXPERT REVEALS A ROADMAP FOR FREEING IRAQI FUNDS FROM THE GRIP OF THE US FEDERAL RESERVE

 

AN ECONOMIC EXPERT REVEALS A ROADMAP FOR FREEING IRAQI FUNDS FROM THE GRIP OF THE US FEDERAL RESERVE.

(Mnt Goat: Why freeing Iraqi funds (about $100 billion) from the US Treasury is not so easy as one might think.)

On Friday, economist Nabil Al-Marousmi revealed several solutions and proposals to free Iraqi funds from the control of the US Federal Reserve. 

Al-Marsoumi said in a post followed by “Al-Ahd News”: “The United States has effectively controlled Iraqi oil revenues since 2003 through its management via the Federal Reserve. The United Nations had provided legal protection for these funds under Resolution 1483, until it was terminated in 2011, following the implementation of Security Council Resolution 1956.”

He added that “the US president issued Executive Order 13303 to protect Iraqi funds, an order that remains in effect today despite some amendments.” He explained that “the objectives of US protection of Iraqi funds are to safeguard them from compensation claims by companies and individuals, as well as to prevent the seizure of Iraqi assets in cases filed since the 1990s.” He emphasized that “despite the expiration of many of the legal reasons that necessitated this financial arrangement, Iraq remains subject to strict financial oversight by Washington, which differs from the usual procedures in the international banking system.”

Al-Marsoumi pointed out that “most oil-producing countries deposit their money in the US Federal Reserve because oil is sold in dollars, but Iraq suffers from complete dependence on oil revenues without alternative resources,” explaining that “this means that the problem is not in depositing money with the US Federal Reserve, but rather in the restrictions imposed on the ability to dispose of it freely, unlike what other countries enjoy.”

He continued: “It is known that there are cases filed against Iraq by dozens or hundreds of companies that were harmed by Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, and representatives of Iraq did not attend the court sessions at the time to defend or reduce the compensations, and therefore the courts issued default judgments for very high amounts.”

He noted that “linking the issue of protecting Iraqi funds from prosecution to America gives Washington great influence over Baghdad, and resolving the crisis requires a political decision, as happened with Greece and Argentina, by employing a reputable law firm that is given full powers, whose task will be to accurately inventory the cases filed against Iraq and how much money has been awarded in judgments.”

Al-Marsoumi concluded that “Iraq is unable to resort to the courts because the judgments have become final, so a deal can be reached with the beneficiaries to drop the lawsuits in exchange for giving them a percentage of the money, which is called buying the debts, and most likely they will accept because they will get money instead of waiting and possibly not getting anything.” 

Dinar Revaluation Highlights: Bank Readiness, ZIM Payouts, and Group Redemption Insights

Introduction: Why These Highlights Matter

As the Dinar Revaluation (RV) conversation continues to evolve, many readers struggle to separate real-world signalsfrom speculation. This highlights summary brings together key themes appearing repeatedly across DinarRevaluation blog posts and community reports.

These updates focus on:

  • Bank readiness

  • Redemption logistics

  • ZIM bond discussions

  • Group payout structures

While none of this constitutes official confirmation, patterns matter — and so do firsthand experiences.


Wisconsin Bank First Makes Dinar Exchange Easy: Real Holder Testimony

One of the most compelling highlights comes from a real dinar holder, known as Mrs. B, who shared her direct experience at Bank First in Wisconsin.

What Happened at the Bank?

  • Bank staff did not reject Iraqi dinar or Vietnamese dong

  • The teller acknowledged familiarity with the currencies

  • The bank offered help with account setup

  • Guidance was given on what to expect when the exchange begins

This contrasts sharply with experiences reported at larger institutions like Chase, where foreign currencies are often dismissed outright.

Why This Matters

  • Indicates localized bank preparedness

  • Suggests teller-level awareness

  • Reinforces the idea that not all banks follow the same internal policies

This was not hearsay — it was a real, in-person interaction.

ZIM Cap Bond Payouts: Private Appointments & Project Plans

Another recurring theme across the community involves ZIM bond redemptions, particularly discussions around cap payouts and private appointments.

While exact posts may vary, consistent elements appear across multiple updates.

Key Takeaways

  • ZIM holders anticipate structured payout formats

  • Higher-tier redemptions often involve private appointments

  • Discussions include:

    • Humanitarian projects

    • Infrastructure initiatives

    • Business development plans

Documentation Commonly Referenced

  • Project outlines or proposals

  • KYC (Know Your Customer) forms

  • Presentations explaining fund usage

These elements are believed to play a role in negotiated terms, rather than default payout levels.

Group Payouts at Redemption Centers

Group payouts remain a major topic of discussion within RV-focused communities.

What Are Group Payouts?

Group payouts are described as structured redemption formats, sometimes referenced by:

  • Age brackets

  • Tier levels

  • Group classifications

Some discussions mention maximum payout ranges depending on demographic categories, though these figures remain speculative.


Role of Redemption Centers

Redemption centers are frequently described as:

  • Primary venues for higher contract rates

  • Required for ZIM and large dinar exchanges

  • Appointment-only facilities

Key features repeatedly mentioned:

  • Secure notification systems

  • Appointment scheduling

  • Walkthrough guidance during redemption

Holders are advised to wait for official instructions, rather than acting prematurely.

Important Context: Read With Discernment

It is critical to understand the nature of this information.

Much of the RV-related content originates from:

  • Dinar forums

  • Community newsletters

  • Personal testimonies

  • Interpretation of geopolitical and financial signals

⚠️ These are not official government or financial institution statements.

That said, patterns, repetition, and firsthand experiences provide insight into what may be forming behind the scenes.


Featured Snippet 

Are banks preparing for the dinar revaluation?

Some regional banks, such as Bank First in Wisconsin, have shown willingness to acknowledge and accept Iraqi dinar and Vietnamese dong, suggesting varying levels of preparedness ahead of a potential revaluation.


Q&A: People Also Ask

Q: Are banks currently accepting Iraqi dinar?

A: Some regional banks have acknowledged and held dinar, while others still refuse. Policies vary widely.

Q: What are ZIM cap payouts?

A: They refer to structured redemption limits discussed in RV communities, often linked to private appointments and project proposals.

Q: What are redemption centers?

A: Facilities rumored to handle large exchanges and higher contract rates, requiring appointments and verification.

Q: Is this information officially confirmed?

A: No. Most information comes from community reports and should be interpreted cautiously.


Final Thoughts: Signals, Not Guarantees

No single story confirms an RV.
No single bank interaction proves readiness.

But when:

  • Banks acknowledge currencies

  • Redemption structures are consistently discussed

  • Documentation requirements repeat across sources

…it suggests preparation, not coincidence.

Stay informed. Stay grounded. And always verify.

DINAR REVALUATION UPDATE: Bank Exchanges, ZIM Bond Appointments & Redemption Center News #iqd

 


THE IRANIAN FRAMEWORK: OUR ORDERS COME EXCLUSIVELY FROM IRAN, AND WE DO NOT RESPECT AMERICAN DIRECTIVES

 THE IRANIAN FRAMEWORK: OUR ORDERS COME EXCLUSIVELY FROM IRAN, AND WE DO NOT RESPECT AMERICAN DIRECTIVES.

(Mnt Goat: note how they now call it the Iranian Framework and not the Coordination Framework….)

Uday Abdul-Hadi, a member of the Coordination Framework, confirmed on Sunday that the decision to support Nouri al-Maliki as the Framework’s candidate to form the next government is irrevocable.

He indicated that they are awaiting the results of today’s session before officially nominating him. Abdul-Hadi stated in a press interview, “The Coordination Framework’s meeting held yesterday evening was clear in its statement, affirming its support for the nomination of Nouri al-Maliki to form the next government, given that the Framework’s forces represent the largest bloc within the Iraqi parliament.”

He added, “The Coordination Framework is awaiting the results of today’s session dedicated to electing the President of the Republic. Once the position is decided, the winning candidate will be identified, and Nouri al-Maliki’s name will be officially put forward to form the next government within the specified constitutional timeframe.”

He pointed out that “all reports of disagreements within the Coordination Framework are inaccurate,” noting that “the Framework’s statement was clear in its commitment to national and historical responsibility and its refusal to allow any party to interfere in determining the selection process for the Prime Minister, as it is a purely sovereign decision.”

(Mnt Goat: Oh…. but Iran is not interfering only the US? )

MNT GOAT: What Happens If Maliki Returns as Prime Minister? The Consequences Iraq Cannot Afford

Introduction: A Question Iraq Cannot Ignore

Let’s ask the question many are afraid to ask out loud:

What happens if Nouri al-Maliki actually gets voted in as Prime Minister again?

I do not want to paint a picture of gloom and doom. In fact, I strongly believe this will NOT happen. Iraq already lived through Maliki’s first eight disastrous years, and the memory of that period is still fresh — politically, economically, and socially.

But understanding what is at stake explains why there is so much resistance to his return.


Maliki’s First Eight Years: A Reminder Iraq Doesn’t Need

Maliki’s previous tenure was marked by:

Those years left Iraq weaker, fractured, and economically stalled.

And now, just as Iraq stands on the edge of international reintegration and reform, the last thing it needs is to relive that chapter.


International Isolation: The Fastest Way Backward

One key article spells it out clearly:

“Adherence to Maliki and American Rejection… Warning of Sanctions and Economic Repercussions Amid International Isolation.”

International isolation is exactly what Iraq does NOT need right now.

At this moment, Iraq is:

  • Completing banking reforms

  • Modernizing financial systems

  • Preparing for deeper integration into the global economy

A Maliki return would reverse momentum instantly.

Isolation doesn’t just hurt diplomacy —
👉 it freezes progress.


Economic Pressure Points: Trump’s Cards on the Table

Another explosive report titled:

“Among Them the Collapse of the Dinar… Three Economic Cards in Trump’s Hand to Undermine Maliki’s Rule.”

According to Al-Sharq Economic:

  • The US has multiple economic levers

  • These could be used immediately if Maliki assumes power

  • One of those levers includes pressure on the Iraqi dinar

Let’s be honest:

💥 Does anyone seriously believe the US would approve or tolerate an RV under a Maliki premiership?

The answer is obvious.


The Dinar Question: RV or Regression?

The RV is not just about numbers — it is about:

  • Confidence

  • Stability

  • International trust

  • Governance

A Maliki-led government would:

  • Trigger uncertainty

  • Invite sanctions

  • Raise compliance concerns

  • Delay or deny any meaningful currency revaluation

An RV requires credibility.
Maliki brings the opposite.


America’s “Guardianship” Over Iraq’s Economy

Another critical article explains a reality many overlook:

“Learn About the Reasons for America’s ‘Guardianship’ Over Iraq… and the Consequences If This Protection Is Lifted.”

Key facts:

  • Iraqi oil revenues still flow through the Federal Reserve Bank of New York

  • This system began as protection but evolved into financial oversight

  • The US effectively controls dollar inflows to Iraq

This is not theoretical power — it is real leverage.


What Happens If the Dollar Flow Is Cut?

President Trump has openly threatened to cut “aid” to Iraq.

Let’s clarify what that really means:

  • Not charity

  • Not grants

  • 👉  DOLLAR SUPPLY

If the US restricts Iraq’s dollar access:

  • The budget collapses

  • Imports stall

  • Inflation spikes

  • The dinar weakens

That is not a risk — that is a certainty.


Why This Matters Right Now

Iraq is at a crossroads:

  • Move forward into the international system

  • Or retreat into isolation and instability

A Maliki return would:
❌ Freeze reforms
❌ Scare investors
❌ Trigger external pressure
❌ Delay RV progress indefinitely


Featured Snippet (Google Discover Optimized)

What would happen if Maliki becomes prime minister again?

A return of Nouri al-Maliki as prime minister would likely trigger international isolation, economic pressure, potential sanctions, and a delay or collapse of any Iraqi dinar revaluation plans.


Q&A: People Also Ask

Q: Would the US accept Maliki as prime minister?

A: All evidence suggests strong American opposition and potential economic retaliation.

Q: Could the Iraqi dinar collapse under Maliki?

A: Reports indicate the dinar would be vulnerable to severe pressure under sanctions or dollar restrictions.

Q: Is America still controlling Iraq’s oil money?

A: Yes. Oil revenues continue to pass through US-controlled financial systems.

Q: Does Maliki’s return affect the RV?

A: Yes. A Maliki premiership would likely block or delay any RV.


Final Thoughts: Why This Probably Won’t Happen

Despite the noise, propaganda, and desperation:

  • Maliki lacks Kurdish support

  • He lacks Sunni support

  • He lacks international backing

Most importantly:
👉 He lacks credibility

Iraq has already paid the price once.

It won’t pay it again.

MNT GOAT: 

What will happen if Maliki should get voted in as the prime minister? 

I don’t want to paint a picture of gloom and doom because I do not believe this will happen as Maliki will not get in again as prime minister. His first eight years were disastrous, as we all know. Please go read the following articles and this will help you understand what Iraq is in for should/if Maliki regain power: 

  • “ADHERENCE” TO MALIKI AND AMERICAN REJECTION… WARNING OF SANCTIONS AND ECONOMIC REPERCUSSIONS AMID INTERNATIONAL ISOLATION”

International isolation again is the last thing Iraq needs just when they were on the verge of completing the necessary reforms to move to the international arena.

  • “AMONG THEM THE COLLAPSE OF THE DINAR… REPORT: THREE ECONOMIC CARDS IN TRUMP’S HAND TO “UNDERMINE” MALIKI’S RULE”

A press report published by the Al-Sharq Economic website on Thursday, January 29, 2026, identified what it described as “economic pressure points” that US President Donald Trump could use to “undermine” Nouri al-Maliki’s rule, should he assume the premiership”. Does this sound like the US would approve the RV anytime soon if Maliki gets back in the premiership?

  • “LEARN ABOUT THE REASONS FOR AMERICA’S “GUARDIANSHIP” OVER IRAQ… AND THE CONSEQUENCES THAT AWAIT US IF THIS PROTECTION IS LIFTED.”

Despite more than 23 years having passed since the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime, Iraqi oil revenues remain channeled through the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. This arrangement is viewed within Iraq as a complex mix of legal “protection” and financial “guardianship” that grants Washington significant influence over economic decision-making in Baghdad. Although most of the legal foundations that originally established this mechanism have expired, the United States effectively still controls the flow of dollars that fund the Iraqi budget through a combination of executive orders, protectionist measures, and strict oversight of dollar flows into and out of Iraq. With Trump’s threats to cut “aid” to Iraq—which is practically understood as a threat to cut off its dollar supply— read the article to examine the implications.
