SAVAYA DISCUSSES WITH US LEADERS THE INFLUENCE OF IRANIAN-BACKED FACTIONS IN IRAQ
SAVAYA DISCUSSES WITH US LEADERS THE INFLUENCE OF IRANIAN-BACKED FACTIONS IN IRAQ
The US President’s envoy to Iraq, Mark Savaya, reported on Monday that he held a meeting with the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, and the Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, regarding Iraqi armed factions supported by Iran and their associated networks .
Savaya said in a post on the “ X ” platform, which was followed by the “Al-Sa’a” network, that “the discussions included the role of Iranian-backed factions and their associated networks .”
He added that “the meeting highlighted the importance of maintaining and strengthening the Iraqi government’s efforts over the past year to secure the borders, combat smuggling and corruption, and enhance state authority .”He indicated that he is “committed to uncovering and prosecuting violations wherever they are found, achieving stability in Iraq, and ensuring its security, in service of Iraqi sovereignty and the well-being of the Iraqi people,” stressing that “the Iraqi people will make Iraq great again.”
PREDICTIONS REGARDING SAVAYA’S PLAN: CLOSING ALL BANKS EXCEPT FOR FOUR… AND TARGETING REBEL FACTIONS
PREDICTIONS REGARDING SAVAYA’S PLAN: CLOSING ALL BANKS EXCEPT FOR FOUR… AND TARGETING REBEL FACTIONS.
With increasing reports of the arrival, or imminent arrival, of Mark Savaya, US President Donald Trump’s envoy to Baghdad, a key question arises in political circles: Will he be an adversary or a partner to the ruling group in Iraq?
The answer, according to initial indications, appears complex. Since assuming his post about three months ago, the US envoy has declared a hardline stance against groups cooperating with Tehran and armed factions. However, information circulating in Baghdad suggests the formation of a new relationship between Savaya and the “coordination framework” in its “disarmed” version, which anticipates his arrival as a potential partner in the coming phase.
During the height of the unusual US escalation against Iran, contacts described as “strange and rare” were recorded, involving Iraqi groups that had declared their disarmament attempting to mediate with Tehran for the release of Western detainees. Political sources say that this new relationship will have “scapegoats,” namely the few remaining factions that refuse to disarm and relinquish their military and economic capabilities.
According to reports, the US envoy is expected to implement a package of decisions, exclusively published by Al-Mada newspaper last year, concerning the closure of most Iraqi banks, leaving only a limited number—no more than four to six—operating. This is part of a strict US campaign to combat money laundering and cut off Iranian funding sources.
Sources indicate that Savaya’s rapid activity, since assuming his duties as special envoy to Iraq last November, stems from the presence of an “Iraqi team ready to cooperate.” These sources, who requested anonymity, do not rule out that this activity is linked to the formation of the next government, pointing to signals from Nouri al-Maliki, leader of the State of Law Coalition and the leading candidate so far for prime minister, regarding openness to cooperation with Washington.
Four days ago, during his meeting with the US Chargé d’Affaires in Baghdad, Joshua Harris, Maliki emphasized the necessity of “monopolizing weapons in the hands of the state” and expressed Iraq’s desire to “expand the partnership with the United States by activating the Strategic Framework Agreement,” according to an official statement issued by his office.
Sources indicate that the “Coordination Framework” is prepared for full cooperation with Savaya on the issue of armed factions, leaving the choice of how to deal with groups refusing to disarm—whether through military force or economic activities—to the United States.While Washington escalated its threats against Tehran, brandishing “very strong” military options before later backing down, the Iraqi resistance factions in Baghdad were preoccupied with other types of conflicts, related to the distribution of positions in the upcoming government and shaping the post-disarmament phase.
For the first time in five years of US-Iranian tension, these groups do not appear poised for large-scale intervention in any potential US strike against Iran, except for limited actions. However, Kataib Hezbollah emerged alone with an escalatory tone, threatening to retaliate against any attack on Iran and describing war as “no picnic.” This was followed by another, less well-known group called Saraya Awliya al-Dam (Brigades of the Guardians of Blood).
Four armed groups had previously announced their decision to disarm in exchange for being allowed political participation. All eyes are now on Savaya.Meanwhile, Savaya shuttled between the US Treasury and Defense Departments, coinciding with intensive diplomatic activity by the US chargé d’affaires in Baghdad, who met with most Iraqi leaders, including Maliki. Official statements from Washington and Baghdad indicate that the two main issues on the table are preventing the participation of armed factions in the next government and cutting off their funding sources and Iran’s access to hard currency.
These statements reinforce what Iraqi sources suggest: that Savaya’s mission will focus on implementing decisions related to the closure of at least 96 banks. Currently, 37 Iraqi banks are under US sanctions, with expectations that the number will rise to 69, amidst leaks about a US request to seal the banks shut, leaving only a limited number—between four and six—operating.
In this context, Savaya held a meeting on Friday at the White House with US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Director of Counterterrorism Sebastian Gorka to discuss the details of his upcoming visit to Iraq. In a statement, he said, “The issues discussed will be raised during the upcoming visit, in communication with decision-makers, in a way that serves the interests of the Iraqi people.”
Last Wednesday, US President Donald Trump praised his special envoy’s performance, saying he “did a fantastic job in Iraq.” Meanwhile, rumors continue to circulate in Baghdad that Savaya received five million dollars from Iraqi entities before assuming his duties, amid allegations of “buying American favor,” though these claims remain unconfirmed.
Independent politician and former MP Mithal al-Alusi expressed his pessimism regarding the US envoy’s mission, stating that Savaya and his team “are dealing with a failed state and politicians accused of corruption and crimes.” Speaking to Al-Mada, al-Alusi warned that the US demands for “a government without militias” and economic sanctions, while essentially Iraqi demands, could be used at the expense of the integrity of the political process. He pointed to recent worrying attempts, including US contacts with Iraqi factions to help secure the release of Westerners detained in Iran during the height of the escalation. He concludes by saying that ignoring the reform of the political process and the protection of freedoms means accepting a more chaotic Iraq, with the Americans content to manage the scene through the embassy, which portends further disintegration of the Iraqi state.
MARKZ: 📰 BREAKING: Iraq, Trump, Davos & the Dinar — Signals, Withdrawals, and the RV Narrative Intensifies
Introduction: Why the World Is Watching Iraq Right Now
In recent days, the Iraqi Dinar (IQD) has re-entered global conversation—not just among currency watchers, but across economic, political, and Middle Eastern circles. A single image, an old Saddam-era banknote, US troop withdrawals, and Iraq’s presence at Davos have triggered intense discussion.
Are these coincidences… or coordinated signals?
Let’s break down what was said, what was seen, and why it matters now.
The Image That Sparked Global Speculation
During a recent MarkZ discussion, members pointed out a thumbnail image showing President Donald Trump with Iraqi currency on the table.
🔍 Key Detail:
The bill appears to be Iraqi currency from 2003 featuring Saddam Hussein
This currency was confiscated during the Iraq War
It is no longer in circulation
MarkZ:
“If you notice, they are looking at Iraqi currencies. There is a lot of chatter about it—not just in the dinar world, but in the economic world and the Middle East in general.”
Why This Matters:
Why would worthless currency be displayed?
Why now?
Why at a moment of US troop withdrawal and international economic meetings?
Many believe this was not accidental—but a communication (comm).
Symbolism: Is Old Iraqi Currency ‘Back on the Table’?
Members repeatedly emphasized one theory:
“Saddam currency is ‘on the table’—likely because it was the currency confiscated during the war.”
This has led to speculation that:
Historical claims
War-era seized assets
Long-held dinar reserves
…may be tied into a larger settlement or financial restructuring.
Iraq Goes Global: Davos, Barzani & the End of Restrictions
Another major development:
“Masrour Barzani heads to DAVOS: And these files will be discussed at the World Forum.”
What This Signals:
Iraq positioning itself as international, not restricted
Seeking foreign investment and global trade partnerships
Aligning with post-restriction economic frameworks
This aligns with Iraq’s repeated statements that it is:
Ending currency isolation
Finalizing international compliance
Moving beyond a closed market economy
US Troop Withdrawal: A Historic Turning Point
One of the most significant confirmations:
“Iraq announces the full withdrawal of US forces from its Federal Territory.”
MarkZ emphasized:
This is planned
This is peaceful
Iraqi forces are assuming control of US bases
Longstanding Belief Revisited:
“It was said we would leave when we get paid.”
Many now believe:
The US has already been compensated
Financial settlements may be completed behind the scenes
The US Treasury & Trillions in Dinar
A critical confirmation from MarkZ:
“Yes—it is true. Absolutely. 100%. The US Treasury has held trillions in Iraqi dinar.”
Key Points:
At one point, holdings were estimated at $55 trillion
Reduced over time via sales and trades back to Iraq
Allegations remain of $35B+ in dinar still held
This raises major implications for:
Debt restructuring
Asset-backed currency systems
Oil-for-dinar agreements
Oil for Dinar: The Hidden Strategy
MarkZ reminded listeners of a long-discussed framework:
Oil for dinar — allowing the US to exchange dinar over time for oil at ~$35/barrel.
Why this matters:
Iraq leverages oil still in the ground
The US leverages currency assets
This structure supports long-term monetary reset mechanics
RV Timing: Is the Window Closing?
Speculation intensified around:
Trump traveling abroad
A scheduled financial speech
Davos meetings
Global market instability (Dow down over 600 points)
Community Expectations:
Vietnam rumors of RV pressure
Domino-effect theories
July 4th, 2026 cited as a hard deadline for gold-backed systems
“Three months before that would make the most sense.” (Member opinion)
How Will We Be Notified? (Critical Info)
MarkZ clarified a long-standing concern:
❌ No single universal 800 number
✅ Multiple bank-specific numbers & links
Banks will contact clients directly
Numbers will be distributed via:
Dinar Recaps
Aggregator sites
Email newsletters
MarkZ will notify:
Moderators
Podcast listeners
Banks vs Redemption Centers Explained
Q: Are redemption centers different from banks?
A: No.
Redemption centers are specialized banks
Staff are trained for currency exchange
Higher rates & lower fees expected
Banks want:
New deposits
Long-term customers
“That’s how banks make money.”
📌 Featured Snippet: Key Takeaway
The convergence of US troop withdrawal, Saddam-era currency symbolism, Iraq’s Davos presence, and confirmed US Treasury dinar holdings suggests Iraq is transitioning from a restricted economy into a fully international financial system—potentially setting the stage for a historic currency revaluation.
Q&A Section (SEO Optimized)
❓ Why would old Iraqi currency be shown publicly?
Because symbolic assets often represent unresolved financial claims or transitions tied to war-era settlements.
❓ Is Iraq now fully international?
All signs point to yes—Davos participation, troop withdrawal, and unrestricted market behavior confirm this.
❓ Are banks competing for dinar exchanges?
Yes. Banks want deposits and long-term relationships, which incentivizes higher rates.
❓ How far will redemption centers be?
Approximately 90% of Americans within 50 miles; more options expected in Europe.

Member: Happy Tuesday and Good morning to everyone.
Member: (There is a picture of President Trump and Iraq currency on the table on Marks thumbnail for this video.) Did anyone identify the currency?
MZ: Oh yeah. Its Iraqi with a picture of Sadaam Hussein on it. A 2003 I believe. If you notice they are looking at Iraqi currencies. There is a lot of chatter about it and not just in the dinar world…but in the economic world and the middle east in general.
MZ: “Shocking and in pictures: Hussein clashes with Trump and Savaya during their meeting. What is going on and what is being prepared for Iraq?” We don’t know…but these are sensitive symbols left over from Saddams rule.
Member: Mark, the question is why would P. Trump have that bill in front of him, old bill.?
Member: Savaya’s post with currency in it has to be a signal! It wasn’t from yesterday so his timing of posting it is peculiar.
Member: Mark, my 2 cents. It’s a comm. Saddam currency is “on the table”. Probably since it’s the currency the US confiscated back in the war
MZ: Do you guys thinks it’s a comm ? Lots of news outlets and comments about this picture and wondering why its important and what does it signify? Why are they looking at old currency if it was worthless. Wouldn’t they just throw it away?
Member: My two cents: It’s a comm. Saddam currency is “on the table” . Prabably since it was the currency tat was confiscated during the war.
MZ: “ Massour Barzani heads to DAVOS: And these files will be discussed at the World forum” He is trying to whip up support for business in northern Iraq. It is clear they are international and no longer playing in a restricted market.
Member: I wonder if Trump and Iraq officials will meet during a “side meeting” over there?
Member: Hopefully US leaving Iraq means we're about to get paid!!!
MZ: Yes US troops are leaving Iraq.
Member: If our troops left Iraq, we should get excited
Member: Mark what are we waiting on for Iraq to complete to RV? the recent election have to be settled??
Member: Is it true the US Treasury is sitting on billions of Iraqi dinar that could be worth upwards of $41 Trillion?
MZ: It is true. Absolutely. 100%.At one point they had $55 Trillion but have been selling off or trading back to Iraq.
Member: I believe Trump said $35B in Dinar…which is (allegedly) 46 Trillion Dinars
Member: Dow down over 6oo points! W0W
Member: When does President Trump speak at Davos?
Member: I believe on Thursday
Member: Wasn’t it said at one time that when President Trump leaves the country and the troops leave Iraq then we would get an RV?
MZ: Yes it was said that we will leave when we get paid. So I think the US might have been paid
MZ: “Iraq announces the full withdrawal of US forces from its Federal Territory”…Iraq is taking over US military bases “ After the American withdrawal Iraqi Interior Minister visits the Ain Al Assad base”
MZ: This is a planned and peaceful transition.
Member: Just a thought—Trump is out of the country tonight/tomorrow and delivering a financial speech tomorrow morning (8:30am CST). RV when he’s out of country?
Member: I heard Vietnam was rumored they went public on their rv putting pressure on Iraq. Domino affect. I also heard this week! Has anyone heard this?
MZ: On the bond side I really had hoped to have news by today…but so far nothing. Groups, Indian Nations, Farm claims are all quiet
Member: I am positive this will happen by July 4 for Trumps big celebration
Member: Family, just remember 7/04/26 is the drop dead date for gold backed money! So 3 months before that would make the most sense! IMO
Member: Tell us again how we are going to be notified. Will the 800 numbers be universal?
MZ: You are not looking for one magical 800 number. Banks have told me they would have individual number and links to set up appointments . They told me that they would be sending their numbers to Dinar Recaps and other news aggregating sites so they can send it out with their free email newsletter. I was told I would get the information as well. I will then notify mods and do a podcast.
Member: I assume those numbers will be depending on location.
Member: Are banks and redemption centers the same thing? Will they give us a higher rate?
MZ: Yes . Redemption centers are a redeeming bank with trained personnel to do your exchange right there. No putting it in an envelope and sending it off. Banks desperately want our business so they can give us a higher rate with lower fees …Banks will get more customers and more deposits which keeps them in business. That’s how banks make money.
MZ: Also we were told many years ago that Iraq would an opportunity on their portion of the currency exchange for “Oil for dinar” where the US could aggregate that currency and exchange it over time for very cheap oil from Iraq at about $35 a barrel. This allows Iraq to leverage an asset that is still in the ground.
Member: How close will these redemption centers be?
MZ: I was told that 90% of Americans would have a location under 50 miles. If you live 3 hours from civilizations like in rural Montana or the Dakotas…of course you have to drive further. I hear you will have even more choices in Europe because you are used to dealing with foreign currencies all the time.
Member: I don’t are how far it is…..what a great roadtrip that would be.
Member: MarkZ what did you decide to do on your evening podcast? Are you going to start pre-recording???
MZ: I will have a live podcast tonight with Dr. Jay ….but starting next week he will transition to the day podcast in the second hour.
Member: It’s hard to believe how close we are but the anticipation is killing me
Member: Hang in there….the best is yet to come
