MNT GOAT: “Iran is a Sinking Ship”: Iraqi Allies Distance Themselves Amid Political Shifts

 Analysts warn that Tehran could be facing a major decline, potentially forcing it to loosen its hold on Iraqi politics. Recent reports indicate that pro-Iranian Iraqi leaders are increasingly distancing themselves from Tehran, responding to both its political weakness and the looming possibility of U.S. military action under President Donald Trump.

The signs of a remarkable political shift in Baghdad are becoming clearer, less than 24 hours before a session that was expected to finalize decisions for the Shia Coordination Framework (CF) in forming a new government.

Tehran’s Influence Weakens in Iraq

According to analysts and local media like Al-Mada, the current situation suggests that Iran’s influence over Iraq could decline sharply. This decline is pushing Iraqi leaders who were once aligned with Tehran to reconsider their positions and alliances, particularly in the face of international pressures and domestic instability.

The political uncertainty reflects a larger geopolitical struggle in Iraq, where internal factions are recalibrating their strategies to remain in power while distancing themselves from Tehran’s faltering influence.

Al-Sudani Poised to Replace Maliki

The Shia Coordination Framework (CF) in Iraq has until February 27 to withdraw Nouri Al-Maliki’s nomination for Prime Minister. If no action is taken, sanctions and political consequences are expected.

Sources indicate that Mohammed Shia al-Sudani is emerging as the likely replacement, but his rise comes with conditions.

The Dawa Party, historically influential under Maliki, may lose its premiership, signaling a major restructuring of Iraq’s political landscape.

“Data indicates a possible change in the nomination process that may lead to the removal of Nouri al-Maliki and the Dawa Party from the premiership in favor of the rise of Mohammed Shia al-Sudani as his replacement.” – Al-Mada Newspaper

Key Implications for Iraq and the Dinar RV

  1. Iran’s declining influence could alter Iraq’s internal political alliances.

  2. Al-Sudani’s potential rise may bring new leadership dynamics favorable to reform and stability.

  3. The Dinar RV could be affected positively if political clarity and confidence return to Iraq’s governance.

  4. Pro-Iran leaders distancing themselves  indicates a shift toward more independent Iraqi decision-making.

Q&A: Understanding the Shift

Q: Why is Iran losing influence in Iraq?
A: Iran faces internal weakness and international pressures, including potential U.S. action.

Q: Will Maliki remain in power?
A: Current reports suggest that his premiership is at serious risk, with Al-Sudani likely replacing him.

Q: How does this affect the Dinar RV?
A: Political stabilization under Al-Sudani could increase the likelihood of a positive currency revaluation, but timing is uncertain.

"IRAN IS A SINKING SHIP": A REPORT DETAILS THE DISTANCING

OF ITS ALLIES IN IRAQ."

"Analysts say that Tehran could become a "sinking ship" and be forced to loosen its grip on Iraqi politics, which is pushing pro-Iranian Iraqi leaders to distance themselves from it, especially given the weakness it suffers and

the possibility that US President Donald Trump might resort to the option of war against it. In Baghdad, during the past few hours, signs of a remarkable political shift have emerged, 24 hours before a

session that was supposed to be decisive for the coordination framework in the government formation file. Data indicates a possible change in the nomination process that may lead to the removal of Nouri al-Maliki and the Dawa Party from the premiership in favor of the rise of Mohammed Shia al-Sudani as his replacement,

but with conditions, according to Al-Mada newspaper. Iraq's Shite Coordination Framework (CF) has until February 27 to withdraw Nouri Al-Maliki's nomination for

prime minister, a senior source within the alliance told Shafaq News on Tuesday, or sanctions will begin!

SENIOR US ENVOY TO THE MIDDLE EAST: THE US ADMINISTRATION RENEWS ITS REFUSAL TO NOMINATE AL-MALIKI

 SENIOR US ENVOY TO THE MIDDLE EAST: THE US ADMINISTRATION RENEWS ITS REFUSAL TO NOMINATE AL-MALIKI

with COMMENTS OF MNT GOAT

The new senior official in the White House, the US administration’s position rejected the nomination of the leader of the rule of law coalition Nuri al-Maliki for the post of prime minister in Iraq.

According to the London-based Middle East newspaper, “the United States is moving towards Iraq in an effort to realize its full potential for stability and security and security in the Middle East”.

“The government cannot rely on Iran to put Iraq’s interests first or to leave Iraq behind in terms of regional conflicts,” he added. or to promote a mutually beneficial partnership between the United States and Iraq.”

A source in charge of Al-Attar Al-Tansiqi discovered that “Al-Atar has obtained a new extension of the US private license to attract the promotion of Maliki”. He added that the prophecy “It is the day of next Friday”, advised that “the owner has extended the license that he does not want to pull the fire extinguisher, and extended it on the (three) Those who are from Maliki’s opinion, they will be nominated and they will not object to it.

(Mnt Goat: Al-Atar is a nasty Iranian supporter and traitor to the Iraqi people. His party is one of the last remaining ones that still support Maliki’s nomination. His comments in this article will not make any difference. Maliki is on his way out. I will go one step further and say even that after this hold up of the government formation because is him that they finally will find a way to go after him and prosecute him for what he has done his first 8 years as prime minister. He no longer has immunity as long as he is not in any political position. Maliki gave up his parliamentary position hoping to be the next prime minister. So he has nothing to fall back on should he be rejected. This is why he  is fighting so much to stay the nominee.)

MARKZ: After Tom Barack’s Visit to Baghdad: Is Al-Sudani Getting the Green Light for a Second Term?

Iraqi politics is entering a pivotal moment. After Tom Barack’s recent visit to Baghdad, major shifts are unfolding that could redefine the political landscape—and possibly the fate of the Iraqi Dinar (IQD) revaluation (RV). According to insights shared by MarkZ via PDK, the U.S. and Saudi Arabia are actively influencing outcomes, particularly favoring the return of Al-Sudani and opposing Maliki’s comeback.

Here’s a deep dive into what this could mean for Iraq and the long-awaited RV.

The U.S. and Saudi Influence in Baghdad

Tom Barack’s diplomatic trip highlights the strategic interest of the U.S. in Iraq’s political stability. MarkZ reports that the U.S. is “definitely pushing” for a leadership outcome that aligns with its regional goals.

Saudi Arabia’s role cannot be understated either. The kingdom has reportedly sent a strong message against Maliki’s return, favoring Al-Sudani’s second term. This dual international pressure could significantly reshape Iraq’s political hierarchy in the coming days.

“Even Saudi Arabia is pushing and sent a message against Maliki’s return and is pushing for a return of Al-Sudani. There is a lot happening in Iraqi politics.” – MarkZ [via PDK]

Maliki’s Political Career: At a Crossroads

Former Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki, a dominant figure in Iraqi politics for over a decade, may be facing a temporary or permanent exit from the political stage. Sources suggest this week could mark the end of Maliki’s influence—at least for now.

This shift is crucial because it opens the door for Al-Sudani to consolidate power, creating conditions that might affect Iraq’s economy and the currency market.

Al-Sudani: The Favorite for Second Term

Al-Sudani appears to be gaining momentum thanks to international backing and domestic political maneuvering. If successful, his leadership could introduce 

a new era in Iraqi governance, potentially stabilizing the country enough to bring positive news to investors and those watching the Dinar.

While nothing is officially confirmed, the political signs point to Al-Sudani as the likely frontrunner for the upcoming term.

Will We See the Dinar RV This Week?

This question is on every investor and enthusiast’s mind. MarkZ shared his perspective cautiously:

“I don’t know if we will see it this week, but we have seen a lot of interesting things happening already.”

The speculation suggests that while the RV may not happen immediately, the political groundwork being laid could accelerate the process in the near future.

Key Takeaways: What to Watch

  1. Al-Sudani’s political rise – international and domestic backing is strong.

  2. Maliki’s decline – a temporary or permanent retreat from Iraqi politics.

  3. U.S. and Saudi influence – shaping Iraq’s political outcomes.

  4. Dinar RV speculation – no immediate confirmation, but promising signals exist.

Q&A: MarkZ Insights Simplified

Q: Will Maliki return to power?
A: Current international and domestic pressures suggest it is unlikely.

Q: Is Al-Sudani guaranteed a second term?
A: Nothing is official yet, but momentum is heavily in his favor.

Q: Should investors expect the Dinar RV this week?
A: There’s no guarantee, but political developments suggest potential progress soon.

Featured Snippets 

  • “The U.S. and Saudi Arabia are actively pushing for Al-Sudani’s return, signaling a major shift in Iraqi politics.”

  • “Maliki’s political career may face a temporary end, opening the path for Al-Sudani’s second term.”

  • “While the Dinar RV may not happen this week, significant political developments are increasing optimism.”
