Iraq's top state leaders are set to hold a high-level meeting at the Presidential Palace to discuss a range of political and security issues, including the scheduled end of the international coalition's military mission on September 30 and efforts to bring weapons under state control.
Iraq’s top state leaders are expected to hold a high-level meeting at the Presidential Palace to discuss several major political and security issues.
๐️ Among the key topics is the scheduled September 30 end of the international coalition’s military mission in Iraq.
๐ Leaders are also expected to discuss efforts to bring weapons under state control, along with other political and security matters affecting the country.
๐๐ฎ๐ถ ANALYSIS
The timing of this meeting is significant because Iraq is entering a new phase in its security arrangements.
The end of the coalition’s military mission could mark an important transition toward greater reliance on Iraq’s own security institutions.
At the same time, efforts to place weapons under state control could have broader implications for Iraq’s political stability and the authority of government institutions.
⚠️ However, this meeting does not by itself indicate an upcoming currency revaluation, exchange-rate change, or monetary announcement.
The key question now is what decisions will emerge from the meeting—and how they could shape Iraq’s next phase of political, security, and economic development. ๐ฎ๐ถ๐
Article: "US troops completely withdraw from Iraq"
Quote: "An Iraqi government official announced on Sunday that the withdrawal of the US troops from Iraq has been completed...The official stated that both combat and logistical support personnel have departed the country, although there has been no formal confirmation from the US side."

๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ถ BREAKING: U.S. TROOPS COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL FROM IRAQ ๐จ
According to Iraqi officials, U.S. forces have completed their withdrawal from Iraq, including combat troops and logistical support personnel.
๐ The announcement comes just days before the September 30 deadline for completing the withdrawal.
⚠️ However, at the time of the report, there had been no formal confirmation from Washington, making this an important detail to monitor.
๐️ WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR IRAQ?
The withdrawal marks a major shift in the security relationship between Baghdad and Washington. Iraqi forces will assume greater responsibility for the country’s security as Iraq continues to face regional security challenges.
๐ต AND WHAT ABOUT THE IRAQI DINAR?
This is an important political and security development, but it does NOT confirm an IQD revaluation.
❌ No new exchange rate announced ❌ No official “RV” announced ❌ No currency reset confirmed
๐ Key developments to watch include Iraq’s government formation, the 2027 budget, banking and financial reforms, Central Bank policy, and any official changes to the exchange-rate system.
๐ฎ๐ถ๐ต The story is still developing. Stay tuned for official confirmation and the next major developments.
๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฐ MNT GOAT: WATCHING FOR THE “BIG REVALUATION DAY”
๐ข SUMMARY
Mnt Goat argues that the Iraqi dinar could offer what he describes as an unusually large potential return compared with the relatively small amount required to hold the currency.
๐ต His focus is on Iraq’s long-term economic potential and the possibility of a major change in the dinar’s value.
๐ฅ THE BIG MOMENT?
According to Mnt Goat, investors should be watching for what he calls the “BIG Revaluation Day”—a potential one-time event involving the dinar’s return to the international FOREX market.
๐ฆ The idea is that, if such an event were officially announced and supported by the relevant authorities, holders could potentially exchange their dinar through financial institutions.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: These are Mnt Goat’s views and expectations, not confirmation from the Central Bank of Iraq that a revaluation or “Big Bang” event is scheduled.
๐ The real question remains: What will Iraq’s monetary policy and exchange-rate framework ultimately look like?
๐ฎ๐ถ๐ต The potential is the story—but official confirmation is what matters.
The Central Bank’s current published information lists the U.S. dollar at 1,310 IQD on its displayed exchange-rate page, while its official bulletins have separately documented a 1,320 IQD maximum bank selling price.

๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฑ “THE RATE WILL BE ADJUSTED” — WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
A statement from Iraqi Parliament member Dilan Ghafoor has caught attention:
๐ฃ️ “The rate will be adjusted.”
The statement was made in the context of Iraq’s 2027 federal budget and the current exchange rate.
๐ But what exactly will be adjusted?
๐ Will there be a change to the official exchange rate? ๐ต What level could the adjustment reach? ๐ฎ๐ถ And when could it happen?
⚠️ For now, this is a statement about a future adjustment, not an official announcement of a new CBI exchange rate.
The key phrase is simple—but the implications could be significant:
Article: "Trump hails Iraqi prime minister as ‘fantastic guy’ as Iraq seeks sanctions exemption"
Quote: “It went great. He's a fantastic man. He's a friend of mine. I endorsed him, right? I mean, I endorsed him, the Iraqi prime minister, he's a fantastic guy,' Trump said Saturday when asked how the meeting went...The remarks come after the Office of Iraq’s Prime Minister announced Saturday it is in talks with the U.S. Treasury Department to secure an exemption linked to the shutdown of Iranian airlines."

Article: "Barak: There is no justification for the factions to remain after the American withdrawal and their integration into state institutions"
Quote: "Barak said that what the Prime Minister is doing in Iraq is 'very smart,' explaining that when the militias begin to disband, their members can be integrated into the Iraqi government and receive the same salaries, provided that the integration process is carried out on an individual basis."

๐ฎ๐ถ๐บ๐ธ TRUMP PRAISES IRAQI PRIME MINISTER AS IRAQ SEEKS U.S. SANCTIONS EXEMPTION — HERE’S WHY IT MATTERS
๐ข A significant development is unfolding between Iraq and the United States.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump praised Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faleh Al-Zaidi, describing him as a “fantastic man” and a friend.
Trump also referenced his previous endorsement of the Iraqi prime minister.
But behind the positive political statements, there is a much bigger issue developing:
๐ฐ IRAQ IS NEGOTIATING WITH THE U.S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT FOR AN EXEMPTION RELATED TO IRANIAN AIRLINES.
๐ฎ๐ถ✈️ WHY DOES IRAQ WANT THE EXEMPTION?
Washington has taken measures against Iranian airlines and networks accused of supporting Iran's aviation sector.
Because Iraqi airports have historically handled flights to and from Iran, Baghdad is seeking exemptions that could allow certain civilian and humanitarian flights to continue.
The negotiations are important because Iraqi airports, aviation companies, and other service providers could potentially face consequences if they provide services that violate U.S. sanctions.
That puts Baghdad in a difficult position:
๐บ๐ธ Maintain strong economic and financial relations with Washington
while simultaneously
๐ฎ๐ท Maintaining important economic, religious, medical, and transportation connections with Iran.
๐ฆ WHY DOES THE U.S. TREASURY MATTER?
The U.S. financial system plays a major role in international transactions involving Iraq.
Therefore, Iraq has a strong incentive to maintain a stable relationship with Washington and ensure that its banks, businesses, airports, and financial institutions remain compliant with international requirements.
This is particularly relevant for anyone watching Iraq's financial reforms and banking-sector integration.
๐ช ANOTHER MAJOR ISSUE: IRAQI ARMED FACTIONS
At the same time, another important discussion is taking place regarding Iraq's armed factions.
U.S. envoy Tom Barrack has argued that after the American military withdrawal, there is no justification for armed factions to remain outside Iraq's formal state institutions.
The concept being discussed is:
➡️ Armed factions gradually disbanding as independent organizations ➡️ Individual members potentially joining state institutions ➡️ Integration into the Iraqi government/security structure ➡️ Members receiving state salaries ➡️ Weapons and security authority ultimately being placed under the control of the Iraqi state
๐ฎ๐ถ The broader objective is to strengthen the authority of the Iraqi government and reduce the existence of armed organizations operating independently of the state.
๐ต WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE IQD?
This is where we need to be very precise.
❌ This is NOT an announcement of an IQD revaluation.
❌ It does NOT announce a new exchange rate.
❌ It does NOT provide an RV date.
❌ It does NOT confirm that the CBI is preparing an immediate currency reset.
However, these developments are important because they relate to the political and institutional environment surrounding Iraq's economic reforms.
A stronger and more consolidated Iraqi state could potentially make it easier to implement:
๐ฆ Banking reforms ๐ต Monetary reforms ๐ International financial integration ๐ณ Modern payment systems ๐ Greater financial transparency ๐ฐ Increased non-oil revenues ๐ฎ๐ถ Broader economic reforms
๐ THE BIGGER PICTURE
Look at the developments happening simultaneously:
๐ฎ๐ถ Iraq is working on its 2027 federal budget.
๐️ The government is working to complete important political appointments.
๐บ๐ธ Baghdad is negotiating directly with Washington over sanctions-related exemptions.
๐ช There is an ongoing push to place armed groups under state authority.
๐ฆ Iraq continues working on financial and banking reforms.
๐ต The Central Bank of Iraq remains at the center of monetary policy.
๐ Iraq is attempting to strengthen its integration into the international financial system.
⚠️ THE KEY POINT FOR IQD HOLDERS
All of this creates an important macro-level story, but we should not confuse preparation or political progress with an actual currency revaluation.
The strongest confirmation would have to come from something official:
๐ A CBI announcement ๐ A documented change in the official exchange rate ๐ A formal change to Iraq's exchange-rate regime ๐ Official monetary legislation ๐ An official announcement regarding currency redenomination/revaluation
Until one of those things happens, the developments should be viewed as important background conditions rather than proof of an RV.
๐ฎ๐ถ๐ต Iraq is clearly undergoing significant political, financial, and institutional changes. The big question for the IQD community is what—if anything—the Central Bank ultimately does with the currency itself.
๐ WATCH THE CBI. WATCH THE BUDGET. WATCH THE BANKING REFORMS. WATCH THE OFFICIAL EXCHANGE-RATE POLICY.
