COFFEE WITH MARKZ: Iraq RV & Bond Updates: MarkZ Shares Insights on Political Challenges and Financial Transition

 Introduction: Waiting for the Dinar Revaluation

Iraqi Dinar holders have been anxiously awaiting updates on the RV (revaluation), bond market movements, and the political landscape. In a recent discussion, MarkZ emphasized the uncertainty and complexity surrounding these developments.

“Going on day 2 of absolute silence. Don’t know if it’s a good thing. Don’t know if it’s a bad thing. Just frustrating.”

Holders are left wondering: when will the RV happen, what about bonds, and how does Iraqi politics affect the timeline?


Bond Market Silence: NDA or Strategy?

Members asked MarkZ about bonds:

“Could it be the no news on bonds is because they are under an NDA?”

MarkZ confirmed that the silence could be strategic. The bond market is likely tied to non-disclosure agreements and ongoing negotiations, which is standard in high-stakes international financial agreements.

“I wish there was an update on the bond front… just frustrating.”

For holders, this reinforces the importance of patience and focus on verified data, rather than speculating on incomplete information.


Iraqi Political Challenges and Delays

MarkZ highlighted the intense political dynamics in Iraq:

“Challenges if the next government. Washington wants to write the cabinet lineup. Factions prepare shrouds. A general siren… It’s a freak out going on in Iraqi politics. The US doesn’t want anyone with Iranian ties.”

Key points from the discussion:

  • Postponement of the President’s election: Political deals are temporarily overriding constitutional deadlines.

  • Mark Savaya’s oversight: Working to form a government without militias and compiling a database of corrupt officials.

  • Internal negotiations: Iraqi leadership is in active meetings to finalize cabinet and governance structure.

“They are in meetings as we speak.”

Holders should note that delays in elections or cabinet formation do not halt monetary reform; they are part of the political process.


New Financial System: Transition Underway

Discussion also touched on the collapse of the old system and the rollout of the new system:

“Charlie Ward News stated we are now inside the 180 days of the collapse of the old system and the new system being implemented.”

MarkZ added:

“I think they are rolling it out and testing… some groups think it’s imminent, but they don’t know the timing either.”

This aligns with previous insider reports: the RV and new system rollout are happening gradually, with tests and controlled implementation, rather than sudden public announcements.


Investor Takeaways: Patience and Data Are Key

  1. Political delays are expected: Postponed elections and cabinet negotiations are normal in complex governance systems.

  2. Bond silence may be strategic: NDA agreements and testing phases often prevent public updates.

  3. RV timing remains uncertain:  While insiders anticipate rollout, exact timing is unknown.

  4. Focus on fundamentals: Implementation of the new system, asset-backed currency, and Iraq’s economic data are more relevant than rumors.

  5. Stay calm and informed: Avoid emotional reactions and focus on reliable sources.


Featured Snippet 

“Iraqi Dinar RV and bond updates remain in silence due to political delays and NDAs. Insiders confirm that the new financial system rollout is underway, but exact timing is unknown. Investors should focus on fundamentals and implementation, not speculation.”


Q&A: Common Questions from Holders

Q: Why is there no news on bonds?

A: Silence may be due to NDAs and strategic testing. It does not indicate problems.

Q: Are political delays affecting the RV?

A: No. Delays in elections or cabinet formation are part of governance and do not stop monetary reform.

Q: Is the new system already being implemented?

A: Yes, insiders indicate the old system is collapsing and the new system is rolling out in phases.

Q: Should investors follow rumors and speculation?

A: No. Focus on verified data, fundamental analysis, and implementation milestones.


Final Thoughts: Stay Patient and Data-Driven

MarkZ and Andy Schectman emphasize that patience, focus on verified data, and understanding the rollout processare essential for Dinar holders.

“If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.”

The transition is happening behind the scenes. Holders should remain calm, monitor credible sources, and avoid speculation-based decisions.

US, IN CONTROL OF OIL DOLLARS, HEAPS PRESSURE ON IRAQ OVER IRANIAN INFLUENCE

 US, IN CONTROL OF OIL DOLLARS, HEAPS PRESSURE ON IRAQ OVER IRANIAN INFLUENCE

Washington has ‍threatened senior Iraqi politicians with sanctions targeting the Iraqi state — including potentially its critical supply of oil revenue sourced via the Federal Reserve Bank of New York — should Iran-backed armed groups be included in the next government, four sources told Reuters.

The warning is the starkest example yet of US President Donald Trump’s campaign ⁠to curb Iran-linked groups’ influence in Iraq, which has long walked a tightrope between its two closest allies, Washington and Tehran.

The US warning was delivered repeatedly over the past two months by the US Charges d’Affaires in Baghdad, Joshua Harris, in conversations with Iraqi officials and influential Shi’ite leaders, including some heads of Iran-linked groups via intermediaries, according to three Iraqi officials and one source familiar with the matter who spoke to Reuters for this story.

Harris and the embassy did not respond to requests for comment. The ‍sources requested anonymity to discuss private discussions. Since taking office a year ago, Trump has acted to weaken the Iranian government, including via its neighbor Iraq.

Iran views Iraq as vital for keeping its economy afloat amid sanctions and long used Baghdad’s banking system to skirt the restrictions, US and Iraqi officials have said. Successive US administrations have sought to choke that dollar stream, placingsanctions on more than a dozen ⁠Iraqi banks in recent years in an effort to do so.

But Washington has never curtailed the flow of dollars from the oil revenues of Iraq, a top OPEC producer, sent via the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to the Central Bank of Iraq.

The US has had de facto control over Iraq’s oil revenue since it invaded the country in 2003. Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani’s office, the Central Bank of Iraq and Iran’s mission at the United Nations did not respond to requests for comment.

“The United States supports Iraqi sovereignty, and the sovereignty of every country in the region. That leaves absolutely no role for Iran-backed militias that pursue malign interests, cause sectarian division, and spread terrorism across the region,” a US State Department spokesperson told Reuters, in response to a request for comment.

The spokesperson did not answer Reuters questions about the sanction threats.

Trump, who bombed Iran’s nuclear facilities in June, threatened to again intervene militarily in the country during protests last week.

No armed groups in new government

Among the senior politicians to whom Harris’ message was passed were Prime Minister al-Sudani, Shia politicians Ammar Hakim and Hadi Al Ameri, and Kurdish leader Masrour Barzani, three of the sources said.

The conversations with Harris started after Iraq held elections in November in which al-Sudani’s political bloc won the single-largest bloc of seats but in which Iran-backed militias also made gains, the sources said.

The message centered ‍on 58 members of parliament views by the US views as linked to Iran, all the sources said.

“The American line was basically that they would suspend engagement with the new government should any of those 58 MPs be represented in cabinet,” one of the Iraqi officials said. The formation of ‍a new cabinet could still be months away due to wrangling to build a majority.

When asked to ‍elaborate “they said it meant they wouldn’t deal with that government ⁠and would suspend dollar transfers,” the official said.

The US has had de facto control over oil revenue dollars from Iraq, a top OPEC producer, ‌since it invaded the country in 2003. Iran has long supported an array ⁠of armed factions in Iraq. In recent years, several have entered the political arena, standing for election and ‍winning seats as they seek a slice of Iraq’s oil wealth.


MARKZ & MILITIAMAN: Iraq Political Update: Sudani, Maliki, and the Real Dinar Fundamentals

Introduction: Political Theater vs Real Data

The Iraqi political scene has been full of headlines lately, with Maliki and Sudani dominating discussions. According to MarkZ via PDK:

“Sudani is not out of the picture…there is a lot of back and forth about Maliki… I think it’s all a show and we will see the return of Sudani.”

Iraq must vote on the President by the end of January 28th, and investors are watching closely. Yet, as Militia Manpoints out, political speculation is not the foundation for investment.


Why Dinar Holders Should Focus on Fundamentals

Militia Man emphasizes a data-driven approach:

“I’m looking for real data. I don’t go based off rumors, promises, or someone else’s opinion. I want to know the true fundamentals… They have reserves…oil…wealth…non-oil growth…Silica…Phosphates…Sulfur…about $16 trillion worth of assets…The data has never been any clearer…Iraq is executing…implementation…It’s happening.”

For holders, this perspective is critical. Political headlines create noise, but the underlying assets and infrastructure determine the Dinar’s long-term potential .


Sudani vs Maliki: What Investors Should Know

Current Political Dynamics

  • Maliki: Still prominent in headlines, but largely considered a “show” by insiders.

  • Sudani: Expected by insiders to return, which could stabilize political uncertainty.

  • Constitutional Deadlines: Iraq must vote for the President by January 28th, which could clarify leadership direction.

The key takeaway: elections and political maneuvering do not stop monetary reform or economic implementation.


Iraq’s Economic Power: Beyond Politics

Data reveals Iraq’s tremendous economic potential:

  1. Reserves & Oil: Significant global energy reserves, critical for economic stability.

  2. Non-Oil Growth: Industrial minerals like Silica, Phosphates, and Sulfur contribute to diversification.

  3. Total Assets: Estimated around $16 trillion, indicating substantial financial and natural wealth.

“Iraq is executing…implementation…It’s happening.”

For Dinar holders, this means that the economy is structurally moving forward, independent of political drama.


Featured Snippet / Google Discover Highlight

“Despite political back-and-forth between Maliki and Sudani, Iraq’s $16 trillion in assets and execution of economic plans show strong fundamentals for Dinar investors. Political headlines are noise; data is reality.”


Q&A: Common Investor Questions

Q: Is Sudani still a contender for Prime Minister?

A: Yes. According to insiders, the back-and-forth over Maliki is largely a political show. Sudani is expected to return.

Q: Does political instability affect the Dinar’s revaluation?

A: Structural economic fundamentals, not daily politics, drive monetary reform.

Q: What are Iraq’s real economic strengths?

A: Oil reserves, non-oil minerals (Silica, Phosphates, Sulfur), financial reserves, and $16 trillion in total assets.

Q: Should investors rely on rumors or promises?

A: No. Decisions should be based on data, fundamentals, and implementation progress.


Final Thoughts: Data Over Drama

MarkZ and Militia Man’s insights remind holders:

“Ignore hype, ignore political drama. Focus on Iraq’s economic fundamentals and execution. Implementation is happening, and the Dinar’s future is grounded in real assets.”

Patience, research, and understanding the true fundamentals are key for long-term success.

MarkZ  [via PDK]  

Question:  is Sudani out of the picture for PM right now?  

MarkZ:  He is not out of the picture. But there is a lot of back and forth about Maliki right now.  I think it's all a show and we will see the return of Sudani. 

 ...Per their constitution they need to vote on the President by the end of day on Jan 28th…. So I believe the President will be sat tomorrow. 

Militia Man

  I'm looking for real data.  What that data gave me is unshakable conviction in a study of the Iraqi dinar...I don't go based off rumors, not promises, not someone else's opinion.  I want to know the true fundamentals...

They have reserves...oil...wealth...non-oil growth... Silica...Phosphates...Sulfur.  You see about $16 trillion worth of assets they have...I don't do hype.  I don't do dates and rate.  I do what the data shows and the data has never been any clearer...Iraq is...executing...implementation ...It's happening.

$100 BILLION IN IRAQI SAVINGS REVEALED AT THE US FEDERAL RESERVE

 $100 BILLION IN IRAQI SAVINGS REVEALED AT THE US FEDERAL RESERVE

Economic expert Duraid Al-Anzi said on Friday that Iraq should not have been exposed to any financial crisis or any form of financial distress, stressing that the concerned authorities did not adopt the proposed oil prices in the budgets, which led to the current financial situation.

Al-Anzi explained in a statement to Al-Furat News Agency that “Iraq has been objected to several times regarding not relying on high prices in budgets, and the necessity of not exceeding $65 per barrel in order to be able to save,” noting that “oil prices have changed a lot, but the competent authorities did not think about the future and did not adopt the proposed prices.” 

He added that “Iraq is able to demand additional amounts from its savings held by the US Federal Reserve, as Iraq has savings in the US Federal Reserve exceeding $100 billion, which were transferred to JPMorgan,” explaining that “these funds belong to Iraq after 2003 and have accumulated, and the only beneficiary of them is JPMorgan, which gives simple interest rates, and it is not known whether they reach Iraq or not, and they have not been addressed, despite the amounts being doubled.”


FRANK26 & WALKINGSTICK: Trump Controls Iraqi Monetary Reform: What Dinar Holders Must Know

Introduction: The Stakes Are High for Iraq and the Dinar

As Iraq navigates political instability and foreign influence, Frank26 recently shared key insights:

“We’re keeping a very close eye on Iraq… Maliki and his clowns are trying to destroy it and tear it apart… That’s why we just showed up.”

The message is clear: the United States, under President Donald Trump, is closely monitoring Iraq’s monetary, political, and economic developments—especially with regards to the Iraqi Dinar.


Trump’s Firm Stance on Maliki and Financial Sanctions

According to Frank26:

“President Trump says America threatens to impose new financial sanctions on Iraq… You think we’re going to give it up? You think we’re just going to walk away?”

The warning is not just political rhetoric. It highlights several key points:

“Trump has made it very clear: ‘I am in control of the monetary reform.’”

For holders, this is crucial. The timing and structure of the Dinar revaluation is directly influenced by U.S. oversight, ensuring stability and protection of investments.


Mineral Contracts and U.S. Reconstruction Efforts

Walkingstick shared important context:

“The contractors went into agreements with the United States on minerals… They are waiting for Trump to finish the negotiations. That’s what you’re seeing with Savaya. They are waiting for the rate to go into effect.”

These long-term contracts with the U.S. have major implications:

  1. The United States is first in benefiting from Iraq’s reconstruction and resource development.

  2. Contracts are long-term, ensuring decades of oversight and economic stability.

  3. Dinar revaluation is linked to these agreements, signaling structural readiness.

“Due to these contracts, the United States of America will be heavily involved in the reconstruction of Iraq.”

For Dinar holders, this is an encouraging sign: monetary reform is supported by tangible contracts and infrastructure, not just political promises.


Why This Matters for Dinar Holders

Several key insights for investors:

  • Political chaos does not equal failure: Trump’s oversight ensures that destabilizing leadership cannot derail reforms.

  • Dinar holdings are protected: Funds held in the U.S. Federal Reserve are strategically safeguarded.

  • Revaluation timing is linked to contracts and reconstruction: Structural readiness is the real driver, not election outcomes.

In short, holders should focus on the system, contracts, and infrastructure rather than short-term political headlines.


Featured Snippet / Google Discover Highlight

“Trump asserts control over Iraq’s monetary reform. With U.S.-backed mineral contracts and reconstruction plans, Dinar holders are protected, and the timing of revaluation is structurally secured.”


Q&A: Common Questions from Dinar Holders

Q: Does Maliki returning as PM stop the Dinar revaluation?

A: No. While politically sensitive, monetary reform is overseen by the U.S. and linked to contracts, not political leaders.

Q: Are U.S. sanctions a threat to Dinar holders?

A: No. Sanctions, if imposed, are strategic tools to maintain stability, not to block legitimate investor holdings.

Q: How do mineral contracts impact Dinar revaluation?

A: Contracts provide long-term U.S. involvement in Iraq’s reconstruction, signaling structural readiness for revaluation.

Q: Should investors react to daily headlines?

A: No. Patience, discipline, and focus on infrastructure and contracts are the keys to long-term success.


Final Thoughts: Focus on Structure, Not Political Noise

Frank26 and Walkingstick’s insights confirm a key lesson for holders:

“Do not let politics dictate your investment strategy. Focus on contracts, U.S. oversight, and structural readiness for Dinar revaluation.”

The system is in place. The U.S. is actively managing monetary reform. And Dinar holders should remain calm, patient, and informed.

 You think we're going to allow them to do any of this?

 Of course not.  Don't worry. But you do have to deal with this so President Trump says America threatens to impose new financial sanctions of Iraq...

You think we're going to give it up?  You think we're just going to walk away?  You think all these 20 years is going to go down the toilet?  You think all your dinars that we have in our Federal Reserves are for not?

 ...Trump has made it very clear...'I am in control of the monetary reform.'

FOLLOWING UN CONDEMNATION, THE US TREASURY TARGETS AN OIL FLEET PARALLEL TO THE IRANIAN REGIME

To suppress the protests

FOLLOWING UN CONDEMNATION, THE US TREASURY TARGETS AN OIL FLEET PARALLEL TO THE IRANIAN REGIME.

The US Treasury Department announced on Friday (January 23, 2026) a new package of sanctions targeting what it described as the “parallel fleet” used by the Iranian regime to smuggle oil and finance its security apparatus and regional proxies, in response to what Washington considered a “brutal crackdown” against peaceful protesters and a complete internet blackout inside Iran.

A statement from the ministry, translated by Baghdad Today, said that the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) imposed sanctions on nine ships and a number of companies that own or operate them, after they were involved in transporting hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of Iranian oil and petroleum products to foreign markets, indicating that these revenues are “the right of the Iranian people” but are used, according to the statement, to finance armed groups, weapons programs and security agencies instead of being directed to basic services.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that “the Iranian regime is engaging in economic self-destruction, accelerated by President Trump’s maximum pressure campaign,” noting that Tehran’s decision to “support terrorists at the expense of its own people” has led to currency collapse and deteriorating living conditions. He emphasized that today’s sanctions target a “critical element” in financing repression inside Iran, and that the Treasury will continue to pursue the tens of millions of dollars that the regime “is stealing and attempting to smuggle through foreign banks.”

The statement noted that the new measure was issued pursuant to Executive Order 13902 concerning the oil and petrochemical sectors in Iran, and as a continuation of the sanctions campaign targeting Iranian oil exports in support of the second National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM-2) aimed at imposing “maximum economic pressure” on Tehran.

According to the Treasury Department, the sanctions targeted ships flying the flags of various countries, including the Seabird, AVON, AL DIAB II, CESARIA, LONGEVITY 7, EASTERN HERO, AQUA SPIRIT, CHIRON 5 and KEEL, as well as companies in the UAE, India, Oman, Seychelles, Marshall Islands, Panama and Liberia, as part of the network transporting Iranian oil to East Asia, Pakistan, Somalia and other countries since 2025.

The US Treasury confirmed that all assets and interests of the individuals, companies, and vessels subject to the sanctions are frozen within the United States or within US jurisdiction, and that dealing with them or providing services to them by Americans or through the US financial system is prohibited, while warning that individuals and financial institutions around the world may be subject to potential sanctions if they deal with the listed entities.

The statement noted that the goal of the sanctions “is not punishment in itself, but rather changing the behavior of the regime,” while pointing out that there are mechanisms to remove individuals and entities from the sanctions lists if legal criteria are met, and calling on those wishing to request removal to review the Office of Foreign Assets Control’s guidelines on removal procedures from the lists.

This escalation in sanctions comes after the adoption of a resolution at the UN Human Rights Council, which, by a majority of 22 votes, condemned the Iranian regime’s crackdown on peaceful protesters and called on Tehran to stop the excessive use of force, respect human rights and ensure accountability for violations.


CLARE & SANDY INGRAM: Trump Warns on Maliki: What Iraqi Dinar Investors Need to Know

 Introduction: Trump’s Warning Shakes Dinar Holders

President Donald Trump recently posted on X (formerly Twitter) a strong warning regarding Iraq’s political future:

“I’m hearing that the Great Country of Iraq might make a very bad choice by reinstalling Nouri al-Maliki as Prime Minister. Last time Maliki was in power, the Country descended into poverty and total chaos. That should not be allowed to happen again… if elected, the United States of America will no longer help Iraq and, if we are not there to help, Iraq has ZERO chance of Success, Prosperity, or Freedom. MAKE IRAQ GREAT AGAIN!”

This statement quickly made headlines, with Sandy Ingram reporting:

“Maliki, who has links to Iran, was selected at the weekend by an alliance of Shia-led parties as its nominee for prime minister.”

While this may seem alarming for Iraqi Dinar holders, the real implications are more nuanced—and largely financial, structural, and geopolitical rather than purely political.


Understanding ‘Shadow Sanctions’

Many investors argue Iraq is not under sanctions. But consider this:

“Anytime the US holds your [$112 billion oil] profits in their banks, in the Federal Reserves in New York, you are under what we call 'shadow sanctions'. You are not free to go. Iraq is not free to go out and do whatever the hell it wants to do…Let's call it 'shadow sanctions’.”

Shadow sanctions are unofficial restrictions that prevent Iraq from fully accessing and utilizing its own funds. While not publicly announced, they limit Iraq’s financial freedom, affecting currency movements, banking access, and economic independence.

For Dinar holders, understanding shadow sanctions is critical. These measures can delay or complicate currency revaluation, despite political headlines.


Why Maliki as Prime Minister Is a Concern

Nouri al-Maliki’s previous tenure in Iraq was marked by:

  • Political instability

  • Economic decline

  • Alleged corruption and chaos

Trump’s warning reflects the risk perception: if Maliki returns, the U.S. might withdraw support, leaving Iraq vulnerable.

However, experienced investors know:  political headlines are not always indicators of monetary timing. Structural banking reforms, international oversight, and compliance measures often move independently of leadership changes.


What This Means for Dinar Holders

Key takeaways for investors:

  1. Ignore the noise – Emotional reactions to political headlines often lead to mistakes.

  2. Focus on financial infrastructure – Currency revaluation depends on banking systems, not election outcomes.

  3. Understand “shadow sanctions” – Limited access to funds impacts liquidity and timing of investments.

  4. Stay patient – The process is long-term and controlled, not headline-driven.


Featured Snippet 

“Trump warns that Iraq could fail if Maliki returns as Prime Minister, citing US withdrawal of support. Dinar holders should focus on banking systems and shadow sanctions rather than reacting emotionally to headlines.”


Q&A: Common Questions from Dinar Holders

Q: Does Maliki returning as PM stop a Dinar revaluation?

A: No. While politically sensitive, currency reforms are usually implemented independently from individual leaders.

Q: What are “shadow sanctions”?

A: Unofficial restrictions preventing Iraq from accessing or freely using its own funds, affecting liquidity and financial operations.

Q: Should I panic as a Dinar holder?

A: No. Emotional reactions can lead to mistakes. Focus on structural readiness and banking accessibility.

Q: How can investors track Iraq’s financial progress?

A: Monitor official banking announcements, international audits, and legitimate Dinar updates from credible channels.


Final Thoughts: Focus on Structure, Not Politics

Political headlines are designed to provoke emotion and debate—but the real factors for Dinar investors are structural and financial.

“Do not let headlines dictate your investment strategy. Focus on banking systems, shadow sanctions, and timing.”

Patience, discipline, and understanding of the underlying financial infrastructure are the keys to long-term success.
