Iraqi parliamentarian: Election of a president is unlikely without prior political agreement

As pressure mounts to convene a parliamentary session to elect a new president, an Iraqi parliamentarian warned that the process could falter without a prior political agreement. Meanwhile, with the US vetoing Nouri al-Maliki's candidacy remaining in place, a leader in the Hikma Movement revealed that the coordinating body is working to identify a new candidate acceptable to all parties.

Sunday, February 15, 2026 – Iraqi MP Faisal Al-Issawi told Kurdistan 24: “There is intense pressure within Parliament to hold a session dedicated to electing the President of the Republic during this week, but there is no tangible political agreement so far, and it is difficult to proceed with the session without consensus.”

Al-Issawi pointed out that the Speaker of the House of Representatives addressed the Federal Supreme C ourt to request clarification regarding Article (72)/ Paragraph Two/ Clause (B) of the Constitution, which relates to the continuation of the President of the Republic in his duties and setting a date for the election of his successor, stressing that everyone is waiting for the court’s response.

The data indicates that the main obstacle to electing a president lies in the failure to resolve the issue of the prime ministerial candidate within the "coordination framework." According to the Iraqi constitution, the candidate of the largest parliamentary bloc must be tasked with forming the government immediately after the presidential election, thus linking the two positions to each other as a single package.

In this context, Sami Al-Jizani, a member of the Wisdom Movement, stated that "the coordination framework is continuing its political efforts to break the current deadlock, especially in light of the sensitive circumstances and challenges facing the region."

Al-Jizani revealed an "anticipated political breakthrough in the next few days through the introduction of an alternative candidate," explaining that "this candidate will be chosen by consensus of the framework's forces, and must be acceptable and non-controversial at the local, regional, and international levels."

Al-Jizani added that just as the Shiite forces contributed to supporting the Sunni component to decide the election of the Speaker of Parliament, efforts are now focused within the "Shiite House" to overcome internal differences.

Although Nouri al-Maliki remains the only official candidate of the Coordination Framework for the premiership at the moment, American reservations and the refusal to assign him have pushed the Framework's forces towards searching for alternative options to ensure the government's passage.link

JEFF: 🔥 Iraq Dinar Revaluation 2026: Government Formation Delay or U.S.–Iran Tensions? What’s Really Holding the Rate Change?

🇮🇶 Scenario #1: Government Formation Timing and Rate Strategy

One possibility is that leadership in Iraq is carefully managing the timing of a rate adjustment alongside the finalization of government formation.

Why Would They Do This?

Currency reform is not just a financial event — it is political, economic, and strategic.

A rate change tied to:

  • Cabinet confirmations

  • Budget implementation

  • Oil revenue alignment

  • Monetary reform rollout

…would require stability and coordination between:

  • The Central Bank

  • The Ministry of Finance

  • Parliamentary leadership

If officials are withholding clear timelines, it could be intentional — designed to prevent speculation, capital flight, or insider positioning before the public announcement.

Could This Be a Strategic “Blackout”?

It’s possible authorities are limiting public transparency to:

  • Control market behavior

  • Prevent speculative surges

  • Coordinate international banking synchronization

  • Avoid internal political backlash

In this scenario, silence does not equal delay — it equals preparation.

🌍 Scenario #2: U.S.–Iran Military & Nuclear Tensions

The second major factor involves geopolitical developments between the United States and Iran.

Heightened military positioning, sanctions enforcement, and negotiations around nuclear agreements can significantly impact:

  • Regional banking stability

  • Oil trade routes

  • Dollar liquidity

  • Security risk perception

If Washington is applying strategic pressure toward Tehran, Iraq often finds itself in the middle due to its geographic and political position.

Why Would This Affect the Dinar?

Iraq's economy is deeply interconnected with:

  • U.S. dollar transactions

  • Regional energy markets

  • Cross-border financial agreements

Any escalation — or even tense negotiations — could temporarily slow major financial announcements, including currency adjustments.

⏳ Are We Waiting Until Late 2026?

There has been discussion suggesting the second half of 2026 as a realistic timeline.

However, many analysts strongly disagree with that projection.

Here’s why:

  • Iraq has already implemented structural financial reforms.

  • Oil revenues remain strong.

  • Banking digitization efforts are advancing.

  • International integration initiatives are ongoing.

A delay until late 2026 would imply major structural breakdown — which current indicators do not strongly support.

📅 Why February Is Still in Focus

There is growing speculation that if no major military escalation occurs, a rate change could potentially happen within February.

Why February?

  • Start-of-year fiscal alignment

  • Budget execution timing

  • Lower geopolitical volatility windows

  • Strategic economic rollout alignment

If geopolitical tensions remain controlled and no direct military actions disrupt the region, February remains a logical window for financial adjustments.

📌 Featured Snippet: What Is Delaying the Iraq Dinar Revaluation?

Two main factors may be influencing the timing of a potential Iraq dinar rate change:

  1. Strategic timing linked to government formation and fiscal alignment.

  2. Regional geopolitical tensions involving the U.S. and Iran that could temporarily delay major financial moves.

If geopolitical stability holds, analysts believe the delay may not extend far into 2026.

❓ Q&A: Iraq Dinar Revaluation 2026

Q1: Is Iraq intentionally hiding the revaluation date?

It’s possible that authorities are limiting public transparency to prevent speculation and maintain financial control during reform implementation.

Q2: Could U.S.–Iran tensions delay the RV?

Yes. Regional instability or military escalation could temporarily delay financial reforms, including currency adjustments.

Q3: Are we really waiting until the second half of 2026?

Current structural and fiscal indicators suggest that a prolonged delay into late 2026 is unlikely unless major geopolitical disruptions occur.

Q4: Could the rate change happen this month?

If no significant military escalation develops and government coordination is finalized, February remains a realistic window according to some analysts.

🔎 Key Economic Indicators to Watch

  • Iraqi government formation announcements

  • U.S.–Iran diplomatic developments

  • Central Bank policy updates

  • Oil revenue reports

  • Regional security stability

These factors will likely determine short-term movement more than speculation alone.

📈 Final Analysis

There are two plausible explanations for the current silence and timing uncertainty:

✔ Strategic political and financial synchronization
✔ Geopolitical caution amid U.S.–Iran tensions

What seems less likely is a delay stretching into late 2026 without a major destabilizing event.

If military tensions remain contained and fiscal reforms continue progressing, the window for a rate adjustment appears much closer than some projections suggest.

As always, stay grounded in verified developments and avoid emotional speculation.

 Are they just trying to keep us in the dark about the formation of the government and its timing so we don't know when they're going to change the rate or is it the military actions of what the US government is doing towards Iran?  There's two different scenarios..

.I think they're either trying to mask the rate change date from us so we don't really know what's going on, or the military actions towards reaching a nuclear agreement with Iran.  One of those two factors is what's so-called delaying this.

  Some people keep talking about this happening in the second half of '26.  Absolutely not.  We're not waiting till the second half of '26 on this.  IMO we're not that far away...I'm still comfortably positioned within the month of February...If there isn't any type of military actions...the rate could change this month of February..
