Axios: There is a 90% chance that the United States will attack Iran

 Axios: There is a 90% chance that the United States will attack Iran

 Iran has been given two weeks to hold talks between the United States and Iran.

 After the Geneva talks failed to resolve deep differences and Washington's red lines, US military preparations in the region have reached a dangerous level, Axios website reported Wednesday, February 18,

According to the report, the US military, dubbed the "Trump Armada," now includes two aircraft carriers, 12 warships, hundreds of aircraft and several air defense systems.

In the past 24 hours alone, 50 new F-35, F-22 and F-16 fighter jets have arrived in the area.

"The president is getting frustrated. Although some people around him are warning him of war, I think we will see 90 percent military action in the next few weeks," one Trump adviser told Axios.

Washington has given Tehran two weeks to submit a new and detailed proposal, otherwise the military option will be implemented, the report said.

The Israeli government is preparing a war scenario within days, aimed not only at Iran's nuclear program, but also at "overthrowing the Tehran regime," Axios reported.

The news comes amid the possibility of war between the United States and Iran, especially if the two rounds of talks fail. link


MILITIAMAN & CLARE: 💹 Iraqi Dinar Monetary Reform: Quiet Advances & Ramadan Timing Insights

 Quiet Progress on Monetary Reform

According to commentary from Militia Man, the latest developments regarding Central Bank of Iraq monetary reforms have been intentionally low-profile:

“There's no hype... They’ve been really quiet about [the monetary reform items], but we know all about them because we've been studying all of these things. Reforms advance steadily and I believe the results are emerging quietly.”

This suggests a strategic approach: implementing changes behind the scenes without public fanfare, which aligns with past monetary reform events in Iraq and other countries.


Immediate Exchange Rate Change Expected

Historical context supports the idea of sudden implementation:

  • When the exchange rate changed previously, Alaq (a financial observer) noted it was effective immediately.

  • Militia Man predicts the same pattern for the current reforms:

    “No fanfare, no hype, just bottom line. We're just going to see it happen. I think that's by design.”

Investors should therefore focus on verified rate updates rather than speculation or social media hype.


Ramadan Timing & Market Implications

Clare shared a relevant cultural note from an article:

“The Supreme Religious Authority in Najaf announced this Wednesday evening that the crescent moon of Ramadan has been sighted, and therefore tomorrow, Thursday, will be the first day of the month of fasting.”

Important considerations for investors:

  • Ramadan may influence bank operations and market activity, but historical evidence shows it does not prevent monetary reforms.

  • Quiet implementation during a religious period can allow authorities to make smooth transitions without public disruption.


Key Takeaways

  1. Reforms are advancing quietly – no public announcements or fanfare.

  2. Exchange rate changes may occur immediately when implemented.

  3. Ramadan timing is noted but not a barrier to monetary adjustments.

  4. Investors should monitor official CBI communications and remain patient.


Featured Snippet Section

Will the Iraqi Dinar Exchange Rate Change Immediately?

Yes. Historical patterns indicate that when Iraq implements monetary reform, the exchange rate becomes effective immediately without prior fanfare.

Does Ramadan Delay Monetary Reform?

No. While Ramadan may influence market activity, it does not prevent the Iraqi central bank from implementing currency reforms.


Q&A Section

Q1: Is the reform happening quietly?

Yes. Commentary suggests monetary reforms are advancing behind the scenes without hype or fanfare.

Q2: Should investors wait for announcements?

Focus on official updates, as social media speculation may not reflect actual timing.

Q3: Does Ramadan prevent rate changes?

No. Ramadan may affect market activity, but reforms can proceed regardless.

Q4: Who influences the timing?

Central bank authorities and government design dictate timing, often for strategic, low-profile implementation.

  There's no hype...They've been really quiet about [the monetary reform items] but we know all about them because we've been studying all of these things.  Reforms advance steadily and I believe the results are emerging quietly.

  Remember what Alaq said when they did exchange rate [change], he said it was effective immediately and that's what I would expect to happen again.  No fanfare, no hype, just bottom line.  We're just going to see it happen.  I think that's by design.

Historic Dinar Revaluation Confirmed by Trump! 🎉 ‪@DINARREVALUATION‬ #iraqidinar #iraqidinarinvestor

 

Washington vows to use "all available tools" to curb Iran's destabilizing activities in Iraq

 Washington vows to use "all available tools" to curb Iran's destabilizing activities in Iraq.

The acting US ambassador to Iraq, Joshua Harris, vowed Wednesday evening to use "all available tools" to counter Iran's activities that threaten Iraq's stability, while stressing that Iraqi leaders are working to develop a political framework capable of putting the country's interests first.

 The US Embassy stated in a statement on the “X” platform, which was followed by Shafaq News Agency, that Chargé d’Affaires Harris consulted with leaders in the Kurdistan Region to promote common interests in preserving Iraq’s sovereignty, enhancing regional stability, and strengthening economic ties.

 He reaffirmed the United States’ commitment to supporting a fully sovereign, stable, and prosperous Iraq, as well as to establishing a strong and sustainable American partnership with the Kurdistan Region, which will bring tangible benefits to both Americans and Iraqis.

Regarding the ongoing deliberations on forming a government in Iraq, Harris stressed "the readiness of the United States to use the full range of tools at its disposal to counter Iran's destabilizing activities in Iraq, while Iraqi leaders work to develop a fully independent political framework capable of putting Iraq's interests first."

Earlier today, the US State Department confirmed that the United States' position remains "firm and unwavering" regarding the nomination of State of Law Coalition leader Nouri al-Maliki for the Iraqi premiership, hinting at "tough" diplomatic measures if this option is pursued.

The American position came in an official response from the State Department to a question posed by a Shafaq News Agency correspondent in Washington, in which he inquired whether there was a change in the traditional American "veto" against Maliki,

and the extent to which the news was true about a "time limit" granted by the American administration to withdraw his candidacy from the race.

The US State Department spokesman conveyed the current administration's position to our correspondent, saying: "President Trump has spoken clearly; the selection of Nouri al-Maliki as the next prime minister of Iraq will force the US government to reassess the relationship between the United States and Iraq."

Regarding questions about the deadline and the change in position, the response implicitly indicated that the American standards had not changed, describing the selection of Maliki as "a negative outcome for the Iraqi people."

The “coordination framework,” which includes ruling Shiite political forces in Iraq, is witnessing a division over the nomination of Maliki for the next government, amid American warnings of the repercussions of his selection. This has prompted forces within the coalition to try to persuade him to withdraw in order to preserve the unity of the framework, while Maliki insists on his nomination and believes that reversing it should be done by an official decision from the coalition.

The escalating American pressure on Iraq comes as a translation of President Donald Trump’s explicit threats, which included criticism of the previous course taken by Maliki when he assumed the premiership for eight years. link


FRANK26: Iraqi Dinar Update: Political Shifts, Monetary Reform & U.S.–Iran Influence

Overview: Political Turmoil and Economic Reality

On February 19, 2026, Frank 26 provided a detailed update on Iraq’s political and economic developments from a Christian faith perspective. The discussion focused on:

  • The imminent resignation of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki

  • Government formation under the Coordination Framework (CF)

  • U.S. pressure and influence on Iraqi political decisions

  • Monetary reform and the unsustainable Iraqi dinar exchange rate

The video begins with a prayer and spiritual encouragement, emphasizing faith as a guiding principle amid uncertainty.


Political Developments: Maliki Under Pressure

Key highlights:

  • Maliki called an emergency meeting with the Coordination Framework (CF) but did not attend, signaling weakened authority.

  • U.S. officials set February 19, 2026, as a deadline for his resignation, threatening sanctions and potential oil industry shutdowns.

  • The Iraqi Parliament and CF are actively working to form a new government and select a third president, with Kurdish involvement contingent on Maliki’s removal.

  • Incoming leader Abdul Latif Rashid Sudani shows openness to economic reform, including supporting private sector growth.

The political instability is a key factor in the timing of monetary reform, according to Frank 26.


Iraqi Dinar & Monetary Reform

Current Exchange Rates:

IndicatorValueNotes
Official CBI Rate 1,300 IQD/USDConsidered unrealistic for 2026 budget
Street Rate~1,530 IQD/USDReflects market realities

Key points:

  • A new exchange rate is anticipated but will not occur immediately upon government formation.

  • The 2026 budget cannot be realistically executed at the current rate without cutting up to 70% of projects or risking economic collapse.

  • Officials such as the Central Bank of Iraq governor claim Iraq is “not ready,” which may be a defensive posture masking ongoing reform plans.

  • Monetary reform is widely acknowledged by U.S. banks and contractors, indicating broad awareness of an upcoming rate adjustment.

Frank 26 emphasizes that a  currency revaluation backed by Iraq’s gold and resource reserves is the most viable solution, rather than harmful measures like salary cuts, tariffs, or further devaluation.


U.S. & Iran Influence

  • Iran’s historical influence in Iraq is declining due to U.S. diplomatic and potential military pressure.

  • Former President Donald Trump is portrayed as a key actor in stabilizing Iraq and facilitating monetary reform.

  • Military options regarding Iran are reportedly under consideration, with decisions expected within 10 days of February 19, 2026.

  • Stability and security are seen as prerequisites for implementing monetary reform successfully.


Economic Measures Under Consideration

The Iraqi government reportedly considered three alternatives to address fiscal challenges:

  1. Cutting salaries

  2. Raising tariffs

  3. Devaluing the dinar

Frank 26 strongly argues these are insufficient or harmful, advocating instead for a rate adjustment aligned with Iraq’s economic realities.

MorningU.S. sets resignation deadline; sanctions threatened

  • Community engagement is emphasized, including personal anecdotes and ongoing educational interaction about the Iraqi dinar.

This video features a detailed commentary by Frank 26, focusing on the current political and economic landscape in Iraq, particularly relating to the Iraqi dinar, government formation, and the influence of regional and international actors such as Iran and the United States. The content is presented from a Christian faith perspective and includes prayer, analysis, and updates from sources within Iraq.


Key Themes and Insights

  • Spiritual Opening:
    The video begins with a prayer and emphasis on faith, highlighting the speaker’s Christian worldview and reliance on divine guidance amid uncertain political and economic times.

  • Iraqi Political Situation:

    • Maliki, the current prime minister, is facing intense pressure to resign, primarily due to influence from the United States and internal opposition.
    • Maliki called for a special emergency meeting of the Coordination Framework (CF) but did not attend, suggesting his waning influence.
    • The Coordination Framework and the Iraqi Parliament are working toward forming a new government and selecting a third president, with Kurdish involvement pending confirmation of Maliki’s removal.
    • The deadline from the U.S. for Maliki’s resignation is stated as February 19, 2026 (the day of the video), with threats of sanctions and oil industry shutdowns if he remains.
  • Monetary Reform and Exchange Rate:

    • A new exchange rate for the Iraqi dinar is anticipated but not expected immediately upon government formation.
    • The current official exchange rate is 1,300 dinar per USD, while the street rate fluctuates (noted as 1,530 dinar per USD).
    • Officials like the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) governor publicly claim Iraq is “not ready” for a rate change, which the speaker interprets as a defensive posture or misinformation to mask ongoing reform plans.
    • The 2026 Iraqi budget cannot be realistically implemented at the current exchange rate without devastating cuts (up to 70% of projects) or economic collapse. A rate adjustment is described as “common sense” and necessary to fulfill budget promises such as salary payments and debt repayment to the U.S.
    • The speaker highlights that the monetary reform is widely acknowledged by American banks and contractors, indicating a broad awareness of an upcoming rate change.
  • International Influence and Security:

    • Military options regarding Iran are hinted at but not detailed; a decision on possible action is expected within 10 days.

  • Economic Measures Under Consideration:

  • Additional Updates:

    • Prime Minister-designate Sudani publicly supports transferring rights to private sectors and industrial potential, signaling openness to economic reform.
    • Community engagement is encouraged, with the speaker sharing personal anecdotes and inviting viewers to continue studying the Iraqi dinar developments together.
