🚨 MNT GOAT: Status of the RV Iraq, the U.S., and the Global War on Corruption

Iraq, the U.S., and the Global War on Corruption

Is it just me… or do you feel it too?

There is an uncanny parallel unfolding between Iraq and the United States—a mirror image of two nations struggling against corruption, entrenched power, and what many describe as the deep state.

In the U.S., we see Trump targeted relentlessly for challenging the system.
In Iraq, we see Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani under attack by the Iranian-backed Coordination Framework.

Different countries. Same playbook.

Both leaders threaten the status quo of corruption, and both face resistance from forces that profit from chaos, power, and control.


🌍 A Parallel Struggle: Iraq and the United States

Let’s call it what it is.

The comparison is not accidental—it’s systemic.


🕯️ Light vs Darkness: A Moral Crisis

Many people hesitate to say this out loud, but it must be said:

What we are witnessing is not just political—it is moral and spiritual.

Greed replaces values.
Power replaces decency.
Control replaces service.

When morals, principles, and respect for fellow human beings disappear, corruption thrives. Politicians gain power not to serve—but to dominate.

That is how Satan—call it evil, darkness, or moral decay—runs free across nations.


🇮🇷 Iran’s Role in Blocking Iraq’s Progress

Why must Iran stop Iraqi progress?

Because:

  • A strong Iraq threatens Iran’s financial pipelines

  • A sovereign Iraq limits sanction-evasion schemes

  • Stability means less money and less control for Tehran

Iran’s influence in Iraq has never been about helping Iraq.
It’s about maintaining a puppet state.

And that brings us to today’s crisis.


🏛️ Iraq’s Presidential Crisis: A Constitutional Failure

Today is Thursday, January 29, 2026—the final constitutional deadline for electing a President of the Republic.

According to Article 72 / First / B of the Iraqi Constitution:

The President must be elected within 30 days of the first session of the new Parliament.

  • First session: December 29, 2025

  • Deadline: January 29, 2026

  • Result: ❌ Missed

Another blow to the Constitution.


⭐ FEATURED SNIPPET: What Is Iraq’s Constitutional Deadline for Electing a President?

Iraq’s Constitution requires the President to be elected within 30 days of Parliament’s first session. Since Parliament met on December 29, 2025, the deadline was January 29, 2026, which has now been missed.


❓ So What Went Wrong?

Didn’t Parliament promise a vote on Tuesday?

Yes—and that’s exactly the problem.

Here’s what’s really happening:

  • The U.S. does not support Iranian-backed candidates

  • The Coordination Framework is out of options

  • The election process is now at a standstill

  • Nobody wants to admit the process may need to be dismantled and redone

They are scrambling—because the clock has run out.


💵 What This Means for the RV (Revaluation)

As dinar investors, we must return to the fundamentals.

Dr. Shabibi told us long ago:

STABILITY and SECURITY must come first.

Let’s be honest.

  • ❌ No stable government

  • ❌ No constitutional compliance

  • ❌ No protection from foreign interference

So ask yourself:

Is Iraq ready for FOREX right now?

Anyone telling you yes
can also sell you a bridge in Brooklyn, NY 😂😂😂


⭐ FEATURED SNIPPET: What Must Happen Before the Iraqi Dinar RV?

Before any RV or reinstatement, Iraq must have a stable government, constitutional order, and security free from foreign interference, according to former CBI Governor Dr. Shabibi.


🇺🇸 Trump Enters the Equation — And Everything Changes

Until now, we heard Washington’s signals quietly.

Now we’ve heard directly from President Trump himself.

His rejection of Nouri al-Maliki:

  • Shattered internal agreements

  • Reshuffled the Coordination Framework

  • Elevated Sudani as the least costly and most acceptable option

Trump’s message was devastatingly clear:

No U.S. help if Maliki returns.


🧩 Why Maliki Is a Non-Starter

Let’s remember the facts (2007–2014):

  • Trillions wasted

  • Sectarian conflict inflamed

  • One-third of Iraq lost to ISIS

  • Human rights violations

  • Armed militias empowered

  • Iran’s influence entrenched

Even Iraqi committees accused Maliki of wasting nearly $1 trillion.

So why bring him back?

There is only one answer:
👉 Desperation and corruption


⭐ FEATURED SNIPPET: Why Does the U.S. Reject Nouri al-Maliki?

The U.S. rejects Nouri al-Maliki due to his record of corruption, sectarian policies, economic collapse, and deep ties to Iranian-backed militias that destabilized Iraq.


🔮 Final Thoughts: Where Do We Go From Here?

  • Maliki’s chances are non-existent

  • The Coordination Framework is exposed

  • The constitutional crisis must be resolved

  • Iraq must choose sovereignty over submission

This is not the end—it’s the clearing process.

Light always confronts darkness before real change begins.

MNT GOAT: STATUS OF THE RV

Is it just me and do you feel it too? There seems to be a parallel going on between Iraq and the US in fighting corruption and the deep state resistance to it. It is as though the deep state is going after Trump in the US is just like the Coordination Framework Iranian group is going after al-Sudani and his policies. Both Trump and Sudani want to make their countries great again bu the other side likes the corruption status quo. The comparison is uncanny. I believe this amounts to evil and darkness going after the light? What do you think? 

I have to yes there is Satan running free now throughout our countries. How did he get so free? I believe it is all based on lack of morals, values and principles of decency for your fellow human being. Instead greed and selfishness takes over. Politicians get this through power and control. All you need to do is to look at their policies and how they result in destroying any country they touch. So, Iran must stop any progress in Iraq that will inhibit their stronghold on the money. Control means more money to circumvent sanctions. But what will happen when Iran falls, and I assure you the current regime is going to fall.

☹So, today is Thursday and does Iraq now have a new president? They told us that on Tuesday the nominee would be announced and the vote in parliament to ratify the candidate for office would occur. In the article titled “ANOTHER BLOW TO THE CONSTITUTION: THE FAILURE TO ELECT A PRESIDENT BRINGS BACK THE SCENARIO OF COLDLY DISREGARDING CONSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENTS.” The constitutional process in Iraq has suffered another setback with the postponement of the presidential election session, despite the country nearing the end of the constitutional deadline. But what is the constitutional requirement? It states it in the article as:

constitutional experts explain that Article (72/First/B) of the Constitution set the deadline for electing the President of the Republic at thirty days from the date of the first meeting of the new House of Representatives. Since the House held its first session on December 29, 2025, the last day of the constitutional deadline is January 29, 2026.”

Okay, so this deadline is today Thursday and they missed it. What is going on here? Didn’t we just read in my Tuesday 1/27 Newsletter that parliament explicitly stated they would hold the session on Tuesday and anything contrary was just rumor. I will tell you what is going on a few simple words: the election process is at a standstill since the US is not supporting what they are doing with these Iranian politicians getting elected or nominated for high offices. So they are scrambling and don’t know what to do now since they are long into the election process already. Do they dismantle what they already have done in the elections and then redo the elections all over again, spelling out the constitutional requirements of who can hold office in Iraq?

As investors in the Iraqi dinar we keep remembering those words of STABILITYand SECURITY that Dr Shabibi told us must occur first prior to any reinstatement.

So, Iraq MUST have a STABLE government and the country of Iraq must be SECURE from foreign intervention and conflict. Do you really think it is now and ready to move to FOREX? Anyone telling you that  it is can also buy a bridge I have for sale, its located in Brooklyn NY….lol..lol..lol.  

So far in this election saga we received lots of input from Washington on the Coordination Framework choice for prime minister of Iraq. Finally, we have input from President Trump himself on this matter and so I firmly believe Nori al-Maliki changes of prime minister are non-existent and I totally agree with the articles on this matter today. There are many articles about Washingtons response by Trump and I encourage everyone to go read them. They are all found in the Articles Section of the Newsletter today. Let me take you through the series of articles one at a time.

_______________________________

😊In the first article titled “WHAT DOES TRUMP’S REJECTION OF MALIKI MEAN? AN ANALYST EXPLAINS TO IRAQ OBSERVER” we learned that “US President Donald Trump’s tweet, in which he openly attacked Nouri al-Maliki’s return to the premiership, has reshuffled the cards within the Shiite political establishment and opened a new door to conflict within the coordination framework, after it appeared that the internal settlement had been decided in favor of al-Maliki at the expense of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani.Favoring al-Maliki still baffles me today based on his past record compared to al-Sudani’s record. It is obvious that the Iranian backed politicians are favoring the Iranian puppet state and are very desperate to take further control of Iraq to benefit Iran. There is no other logical, common sense reason why they would want al-Maliki back in control.

Political analyst Majashaa Al-Tamimi confirmed to Iraq Observer that “Trump’s tweet against Maliki has reshuffled the cards within the coordination framework.”

Al-Tamimi pointed out that this explicit rejection “raised the chances of the head of the Reconstruction and Development Coalition, Muhammad Shia’ al-Sudani, as he is the least costly option internally and the most acceptable externally.”

Then in the next article titled “TRUMP SURPRISES THE FRAMEWORK AND OPENS FIRE ON MALIKI… HOW WILL THE COORDINATION COMMITTEE RESPOND TO THE AMERICAN POSITION?” Again we learn that It appears that Nouri al-Maliki’s chances of securing a third term as head of the Iraqi government are almost nonexistent, after US President Donald Trump announced the United States’ position rejecting this nomination.

 “We hear that the great nation of Iraq may be making the (very bad) choice of re-installing Nouri al-Maliki as prime minister.”

Why is Nori Al-Maliki such a bad choice? We also learn the reasons in this article, but we already knew this, didn’t we?  

Al-Maliki is considered the closest of those close to Iran and the spiritual father of the armed factions, as he is credited with establishing them before the events of “ISIS” and then officially announcing them under the umbrella of the Popular Mobilization Forces after the events of June 10, 2014, before the fatwa of the religious authority in Najaf regarding the sufficient jihad “.

Trump added in the article: “The last time Maliki was in power, the country descended into poverty and utter chaos, and that should not be allowed to happen again.” He concluded by saying that “if Washington stops helping Iraq, it will have no chance of success, prosperity, or freedom. “

“Nouri al-Maliki was accused by official Iraqi committees and popular gatherings of wasting about one trillion US dollars during his eight years in power, in addition to causing support for sectarian conflict and rhetoric, handing over a third of Iraqi territory to ISIS, as well as his rule being characterized by security chaos, human rights violations, widespread arbitrary arrests, the growing influence of secret informants, and other violations.”

Do you remember these days of al-Maliki 2007-2014? Why would the Coordination Framework even think about putting him back in control unless they are so corrupt and desperate to maintain Iraq as a puppet state for Iran they would do anything. Of course this only exposes the Coordination Framework for what they really are – Iranian supporters and a very corrupt political group. They must be dealt with or Iraq will not be able to have honest elections going into the future.

WHAT DOES TRUMP’S REJECTION OF MALIKI MEAN? AN ANALYST EXPLAINS TO IRAQ OBSERVER

WHAT DOES TRUMP’S REJECTION OF MALIKI MEAN? AN ANALYST EXPLAINS TO IRAQ OBSERVER

US President Donald Trump’s tweet, in which he openly attacked Nouri al-Maliki’s return to the premiership, has reshuffled the cards within the Shiite political establishment and opened a new door to conflict within the coordination framework, after it appeared that the internal settlement had been decided in favor of al-Maliki at the expense of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani.

Political analyst Majashaa Al-Tamimi confirmed to Iraq Observer that “Trump’s tweet against Maliki has reshuffled the cards within the coordination framework.”

Al-Tamimi pointed out that this explicit rejection “raised the chances of the head of the Reconstruction and Development Coalition, Muhammad Shia’ al-Sudani, as he is the least costly option internally and the most acceptable externally.”

Al-Tamimi added that “the biggest strategic mistake made by those close to Maliki was promoting the idea that the Iranian Supreme Leader welcomed his return.”

On Tuesday evening, US President Donald Trump stated that the return of former Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to head the government again was something that should not be allowed.

Trump said in a post on the Truth Social platform: “I hear that great Iraq may be making a grave mistake by bringing back Nouri al-Maliki as Prime Minister. Under Maliki’s previous rule, the country slid into the clutches of poverty and utter chaos, and this should not be allowed to happen again.”

He added: “Because of his policies and extremist ideologies, if elected, the United States will cease providing aid to Iraq. And if we are not there to help, Iraq will have no chance of success, prosperity, or freedom.”


Trump concluded his post by saying: “Let’s make Iraq great again.”

On Saturday, January 24, 2026, the Coordination Framework announced the nomination of Nouri al-Maliki, head of the “State of Law Coalition,” for the position of Prime Minister, considering him the candidate of the largest parliamentary bloc, while calling on the House of Representatives to hold a session to elect the President of the Republic in accordance with the constitutional timelines.

The Coordination Framework said in a statement: “Based on our national responsibility, and keen to complete the constitutional entitlements within a context that preserves the country’s stability and strengthens the state’s path, the Coordination Framework held an expanded meeting of its leaders, in Hadi al-Amiri’s office today, Saturday, during which the political situation and the next stage were discussed.”

The statement added, “After an in-depth and extensive discussion, the Coordination Framework decided by majority vote to nominate Nouri Kamel al-Maliki for the position of Prime Minister, as the candidate of the largest parliamentary bloc, based on his political and administrative experience, and his role in running the state.”

He continued, “The coordination framework affirms its full commitment to the constitutional path, and its keenness to work with all national forces to form a strong and effective government, capable of facing challenges, providing services, and protecting Iraq’s security and unity.”

The Coordination Framework called on the House of Representatives to “hold its session dedicated to electing the President of the Republic in accordance with the constitutional timelines.”

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani had withdrawn from the race for the premiership, paving the way for his political rival Nouri al-Maliki, after a deadlock that lasted for more than a month within the Shiite bloc, during which the forces of the Coordination Framework were unable to decide on a consensus candidate, which led to an internal settlement that practically ended al-Sudani’s competition and brought al-Maliki back to the forefront of the scene.


🚨 TRUMP DRAWS A RED LINE: IRAQ AT A CROSSROADS BETWEEN POWER, DOLLARS, AND POLITICAL SURVIVAL

 🚨 TRUMP DRAWS A RED LINE: IRAQ AT A CROSSROADS BETWEEN POWER, DOLLARS, AND POLITICAL SURVIVAL

Iraq is entering one of its most critical moments in years, where politics and economics collide head-on following a shocking intervention by former U.S. President Donald Trump.


🔥 The Political Shock: Trump vs. Maliki

Donald Trump has upended Iraq’s political equation by publicly rejecting the return of Nouri al-Maliki as Prime Minister. In an unusually blunt message, Trump warned that Iraq would be making a “grave mistake,” reminding the world that Maliki’s previous rule led to chaos, poverty, institutional collapse, and the rise of ISIS.

Trump went further, issuing a clear ultimatum: if Maliki returns, U.S. support for Iraq stops. While not a formal ban, the message functions as a de facto international veto.


🏛️ The Coordination Framework Under Pressure

Trump’s statement sent shockwaves through Iraq’s Shiite Coordination Framework, which had already settled on Maliki after Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani withdrew from the race.

Now the bloc faces three dangerous options:

  • Quietly reverse course and search for a compromise candidate

  • Split internally under U.S. and international pressure

  • Push Maliki forward and risk sanctions and isolation

Political analysts say Trump’s move reshuffled the deck, weakening Maliki and reviving alternatives seen as more acceptable globally.


🌍 No Global Legitimacy, No Governing Power

The message from Washington is unmistakable: no Iraqi prime minister can survive without international legitimacy. Without U.S. backing, Iraq risks losing access to Western political support, international financial institutions, foreign investment, and long-term stability.


💰 The Economic Front: The Dollar Battle

At the same time, the Iraqi Central Bank is fighting another war—closing the gap between the official dollar exchange rate and the parallel market.

Financial experts confirm a coordinated plan to eliminate the gap through:

  • Stricter control of foreign trade

  • Expansion of electronic banking systems

  • International monitoring of dollar flows

  • Restrictions on irregular imports

The goal is simple but urgent: restore financial order and investor confidence—a task impossible without political stability.


⚠️ Final Take: A Defining Moment for Iraq

Iraq now stands at a historic crossroads:

  • Choose reform, stability, and global reintegration

  • Or repeat the cycles of confrontation, isolation, and crisis

Trump’s message accelerates that choice.
This wasn’t diplomacy—it was a warning.

🚆 The political train has left the station… and not everyone will be allowed on board.

EXPERT: THE CENTRAL BANK INTENDS TO ELIMINATE THE GAP BETWEEN THE OFFICIAL DOLLAR EXCHANGE RATE AND THE PARALLEL MARKET RATE.

EXPERT: THE CENTRAL BANK INTENDS TO ELIMINATE THE GAP BETWEEN THE OFFICIAL DOLLAR EXCHANGE RATE AND THE PARALLEL MARKET RATE.

Economic and financial expert, Safwan Qusay, confirmed the Iraqi Central Bank’s determination to eliminate the gap between the official dollar exchange rate and its price in the parallel market, noting the existence of intensive specialized efforts to address the imbalances in the monetary and commercial system.

Qusay said, during his appearance on the “Free Talk” program on Al-Furat satellite channel, that: “The Central Bank is working to reduce the price gap to zero through well-thought-out procedures involving specialists aimed at controlling the movement of the dollar and limiting irregular speculation.”

He explained that “about 70 percent of the private sector is still outside the Skoda system, which weakens control over foreign trade,” noting that “the American company K2 is monitoring and tracking irregular trade in Iraq.”

Qusay stressed that “addressing this issue requires collective management and high-level coordination to control the trade system, especially at border crossings,” indicating that “the transition of the Iraqi economy from a closed system to a free economy requires a clear roadmap and linking Iraq to clean and transparent global markets

.”

He revealed that there is a timetable and ongoing meetings with Oliver Wyman, stressing that the banks that were sanctioned have had restrictions lifted from them after complying with the Central Bank’s procedures, especially in the field of technology investment and banking governance.

He pointed out that “the Skoda system actively contributes to strengthening the banking system and regulating foreign trade,” explaining that “controlling the entry of goods requires the adoption of advanced technological systems through long-term contracts.”

Qusay concluded his remarks by pointing out that “Iraq has taken decisions to ban the import of some goods, including gold and mobile phones, as part of a policy to regulate imports and control market activity.”


MNT GOAT: 🚨 Trump Targets Maliki: U.S. Rejects His Return to Power – What Happens Next?

Trump surprises the political framework and opens fire on Maliki… How will the Coordination Committee respond to the American position?

In a dramatic and unexpected escalation, U.S. President Donald Trump has sent a clear warning to Iraq’s political elite, signaling outright opposition to the return of former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to power.

According to statements circulating from Trump’s TruthSocial account, the message could not be more direct:

“I hear that the great country of Iraq may be making a very bad choice by reappointing Nouri al-Maliki as Prime Minister. Last time Maliki was in power, the country descended into total poverty and chaos. This should never be allowed to happen again.”

Choo-Choo… 🚂
This statement has sent shockwaves across Baghdad, Washington, and the broader Middle East.

Let’s explore what this means, why it matters, and what could happen next.


🔍 Why Trump’s Statement Changes Everything

The United States has long played a behind-the-scenes role in Iraq’s political balance. But this time, the message is public, blunt, and unmistakable.

Key Takeaways from Trump’s Position:

This is not diplomatic language—it’s a strategic red line.


🧠 Who Is Nouri al-Maliki and Why Is He So Controversial?

Nouri al-Maliki served as Iraq’s Prime Minister from 2006 to 2014, a period marked by:

  • Sectarian tensions

  • Institutional corruption

  • Weak governance

  • The rise of ISIS following state collapse

For many Iraqis and international observers, Maliki’s leadership is associated with missed opportunities and systemic failure .

Trump’s remarks revive those memories—and reinforce why Maliki remains a deeply polarizing figure.


🏛️ What About Iraq’s Coordination Framework?

The Coordination Framework, a powerful alliance of Shiite political forces, now finds itself in a tight corner.

Possible Responses:

  1. 🔄 Backtrack quietly and move toward a compromise candidate

  2. 🧩 Fragment internally under U.S. and international pressure

  3. 🔥 Double down on Maliki, risking isolation and sanctions

Any of these options could reshape Iraq’s political roadmap in 2026 and beyond.


📉 Is Maliki’s Third Term Now Impossible?

Based on current signals, Maliki’s chances appear almost nonexistent.

Trump’s stance effectively:

  • Closes the door on Western support

  • Discourages IMF, World Bank, and international cooperation

  • Raises red flags for investors and regional allies

In modern Iraqi politics, no Prime Minister survives without international legitimacy—especially from Washington.


⭐ FEATURED SNIPPET: What Did Trump Say About Maliki?

Donald Trump publicly warned Iraq against reappointing Nouri al-Maliki, stating that his previous leadership led to chaos and poverty, and declaring that the U.S. would not support Iraq if Maliki returns to power.


⭐ FEATURED SNIPPET: Will the U.S. Support Iraq Under Maliki?

No. Trump’s message indicates that the United States would withhold political and strategic support if Nouri al-Maliki returns as Prime Minister.


❓ Q&A: What Everyone Is Asking

❓ Did Trump officially block Maliki?

No formal “block,” but a clear political veto through public messaging.

❓ Can Iraq ignore the U.S. position?

Technically yes—but doing so risks economic isolation and instability.

❓ Who benefits from Maliki’s exit?

Reformist candidates, technocrats, and compromise figures gain momentum.

❓ What does this mean for Iraq’s future?

A possible reset—if Iraqi leaders choose stability over confrontation.


📈 What This Means for Iraq Moving Forward

This moment may define the next chapter of Iraqi governance:

  • Will Iraq move toward reform?

  • Or repeat the cycles of the past?

Trump’s statement forces Iraqi leaders to choose—and the world is watching.


🔔 Final Thoughts

Whether you support or oppose Trump, his message is unmistakable:
The era of Maliki is over.

The political train has left the station.
Choo-Choo. 🚂
