 Digital dinar, ISO-2022, global integration...integration in a REER tie-in, reliable Cyan flow plus higher capacity...diversified inflows and padding for their reserves - all foundational for a managed REER adjustment.  And shows Iraq is resilient amid conflict. Gatekeepers and investors will still see stability and growth potential...I see this as promising, oil flow resuming through Cyan with full capacity at 1 to 2 million barrels per day...I think this is big.  I think this really positive.  Even during mid-conflict these guys are still showing signs they're not stopping.
