GERMANY EXTENDS MILITARY MANDATE IN IRAQ BY 15 MONTHS

GERMANY EXTENDS MILITARY MANDATE IN IRAQ BY 15 MONTHS

Germany’s armed forces will continue their deployment in Iraq for an additional 15 months to help stabilize the country and prevent the resurgence of the Islamic State (ISIS), the German Defense Ministry announced Wednesday.

“The Federal Government has decided to continue the deployment of the Federal Armed Forces in Iraq for a further 15 months,” the ministry said in a statement, noting that the mission “is intended to permanently enable the regular Iraqi armed and security forces to ensure security and stability in Iraq and prevent a resurgence of ISIS.”

The statement added, “The Federal Armed Forces will train and advise the Iraqi armed and security forces to this end.”

The ministry said the extension of the mandate came at the request of the Iraqi government. “The Iraqi government requested the continuation of support from Germany, as the threat of ISIS remains,” it said, adding that German troops in Iraq are “supporting the NATO Mission Iraq (NMI).”

Germany’s military involvement in Iraq began in August 2014, initially providing military equipment – including anti-tank missiles and assault rifles – to Kurdish Peshmerga forces. In October 2014, German troops were deployed to Erbil to train Peshmerga fighters, marking Berlin’s first operational presence in the region.

Germany is also a major contributor to the NATO Mission Iraq (NMI), launched in 2018 at the request of Baghdad. The mission is non-combat and focuses on advising and building the capacity of Iraqi security institutions, enabling them to independently counter terrorism and prevent any resurgence of ISIS.

“The essential content of the mandate remains unchanged, allowing for up to 500 German soldiers to be deployed in Iraq,” the ministry said, noting that the Bundestag still needs to approve the extension.

In addition to military support, Germany has provided substantial civilian aid. The German Foreign Ministry told Rudaw in mid-August that Berlin has delivered over €3 billion in humanitarian, development, and stabilization assistance to Iraq.

This includes €800 million ($933 million) in humanitarian aid and €2.6 billion ($3 billion) for stabilization programs between 2014 and 2022, supporting initiatives such as psychosocial services and rehabilitation programs for survivors of ISIS atrocities.

Most of Germany’s soldiers are stationed in the Kurdistan Region. 

SANDY INGRAM: ⚠️ Iraqi Dinar RV Rumors vs Reality: Why Some Say “Not Yet” 🇮🇶💱

🧩 A Different Voice in the RV Space

While many dinar watchers are focused on January 2026 RV rumors, analyst Sandy Ingram offers a very different — and controversial — perspective.

🗣️ “Iraq is not in a financial or economic position to revalue at this time.”

Her comments have sparked debate across the dinar community, especially among those waiting for an imminent RV.

---

💰 The “Loose Ends” Argument

According to Sandy, Iraq faces major unresolved issues:

🌍 Millions of Dinars Outside Iraq

• Large quantities of IQD remain outside the country

• Creates uncertainty for monetary control

🏦 Lack of Trust in Iraqi Banks

• Iraqi citizens do not deposit IQD into banks

• A revaluation requires banking participation

• Without deposits, liquidity and policy tools are limited

📌 Key question she raises:

How can a country revalue if its citizens don’t trust the banking system?

---

🔢 “Deleting the Zeros” — Not What Many Think

One of Sandy’s strongest points challenges a common RV rumor:

🚫 Removing the zeros ≠ Revaluation

She explains:

• Deleting zeros is a redenomination

• It changes the face value, not the real value

• Example:

  • 1,000 old dinars → 1 new dinar

  • Purchasing power stays the same

📉 No gain.
📉 No windfall.
📉 No RV.

👉 This is why she says deleting zeros alone is not evidence of an impending RV.

---

🖨️ No New Currency Printed?

Another key claim:

🧾 “There has been no budget, no announcement, and no confirmed creation of new denominations.”

She adds that Iraq has:

• Talked about deleting zeros for nearly 20 years

• Never executed it

• Never funded a full currency replacement program

📌 From her view, this weakens the “RV is imminent” narrative.

---

🤔 Why This Matters to RV Watchers

Even for those who believe strongly in the RV, Sandy’s position highlights risks:

⚠️ Rumors vs mechanics
⚠️ Hope vs banking reality
⚠️ Timing vs readiness

Her stance reminds investors that:

• Not every reform leads to revaluation

• Administrative changes ≠ value increase

• Structural trust matters more than headlines

---

🧠 RV Community Reality Check

✔ Other gurus see signals, alignment, and targets
✔ Sandy sees unresolved fundamentals
✔ Both perspectives exist simultaneously

📌 For rumor-followers:
This doesn’t “kill” the RV narrative — it slows expectations and reframes timelines.

Sandy Ingram says deleting zeros in Iraq is not revaluation and warns that lack of banking trust and dinars outside the country may delay any RV.

🔮 Final Thought

The Iraqi dinar conversation lives between:
🔥 Speculation
⚙️ Mechanics
🕰️ Timing

Some hear “any moment now”
Others hear “not ready yet”

And the truth?
👉 The RV won’t happen on belief alone — it happens when structure forces it.

 Iraq is not in a financial economic position to revalue at this time.  There's too many loose ends on the table.  One of the loose problems is us.  There are millions of dinars outside the country.  One of the other major problems is the Iraqi people will not place their IQD into the Iraqi banks.  How is a country going to revalue or do almost anything if the population will not put their money into the bank?

They've been talking about deleting the zeros for almost 20 years and it has never happened.  They still have not created a new denominational bill. There's been no talk and no budget for recreating currency and you know...I would tell you if that ever happened... There is a misconception going around...about removing zeros from the 

currency...They're saying this is evidence of impending revaluation.  That is not true.  Removing zeros, redenomination, is an administrative process that changes the face value of the currency without changing its actual value.  If Iraq removed zeros, 1,000 old dinars would become 1 new dinar.  But the purchasing power remains identical.

  The value of the currency remains identical. That's why [we] have never taken the removing the zeros as a significant news story to be pounded on as a revaluation.  Because it's not.
