INTERNATIONAL CENTER: IRAQ HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ACCELERATE ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION EFFORTS
The International Trade Centre (ITC) believes the current phase presents an opportunity to accelerate Iraq’s economic diversification efforts. Eric Bouchot, the ITC’s program director in Iraq, told Al-Sabah newspaper that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, along with regional developments, this has led to a sharp reduction in oil exports, the sector on which Iraq relies for most of its export revenues, and has also caused significant disruption to imports, including food and basic commodities.
He added that these developments have significant implications for trade and the private sector. On the one hand, the disruption of oil exports leads to a decrease in revenues, increased pressure on liquidity and public finances, and an impact on payments to suppliers. On the other hand, increased import costs and delays in the arrival of goods are likely to restrict companies’ ability to obtain inputs, maintain production, and meet market demand, with small and medium enterprises being particularly exposed to these challenges.
He explained that this crisis highlights the structural weaknesses in the Iraqi economic model, as the heavy reliance on oil exports and the limited trade routes and markets reduce the ability to withstand external shocks.
Bushout noted that at the same time this stage represents an opportunity to accelerate economic diversification efforts by expanding non-oil exports, enhancing local production, and building a more competitive private sector. He considered the development of trade and exports a key element in this transformation, along with financial reforms. He added that strengthening integration into international trade frameworks can support Iraq in building a more flexible, transparent, and rules-based trading environment.
By Thursday, we should be fully on the gold standard. The military has taken total global control of the financial systems (worldwide). Sunday, May 10, is Mother’s Day. They did not want to interrupt or divide that day, and they want to keep it dedicated to mothers and families.
We are receiving information from high-level banking sources that we were expected to receive Tier 4B notifications over the weekend, but today we were told a later timeframe — Monday or Tuesday.
What is the reason for the delay? Two sources in Iraq stated:
The newly appointed Iraqi Prime Minister will officially take office on Sunday, or possibly Monday. Sunday is the first business day of the week in Iraq. This needs to happen (in theory) before we move to exchanges.
The same source that said Sunday also said exchanges should begin 48 hours later (Tuesday)
. Another highly credible source in Iraq pushed it back one more day, suggesting exchanges could happen Tuesday to Wednesday.
At this point, we are too far along to give up.
Milestones
National Day of Prayer: Thursday
Possible gold standard implementation: Thursday (likely without announcement)
XRP & QFS
The Clarity Act — XRP is expected to be available on Tuesday, May 12, integrated into the QFS.
Question: Do we have to wait until XRP is live on the 12th to receive 800 numbers? Answer: NO. There is no connection between XRP going live and receiving 800 numbers.
Global Developments (Unconfirmed)
We’ve heard that initially 12 countries, then up to 15 countries, may have sealed their borders (not confirmed which ones).
These closures are reportedly:
To prevent foreign currencies from entering
To ensure people return to their home countries to participate in GESARA
Example: Undocumented individuals in the U.S. would need to return to Mexico to receive GESARA benefits.
EBS / EAS DISCLOSURE (RUMORED)
Last Sunday, it was said the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) with EAS would reveal the truth about:
JFK assassination
RFK assassination
MLK Jr. assassination
UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena)
USOs (Underwater Submersible Objects) and ocean bases
What really happened on 9/11
Epstein files
The Catholic Church
This would be 8 major topics, taking 10–12 days, broadcasting 6–8 hours daily worldwide.
The military would take control of media networks during this period.
It was expected to start today or tomorrow, but it did not start today. It may have been delayed to avoid interfering with Mother’s Day, extending through that period.
Additional topics may be added. Some believe this disclosure could serve as a distraction while exchanges take place.
Security & Military
Strong protection expected at all exchange centers in North America (U.S., Canada, Mexico)
Military positioned globally to secure exchange operations
NESARA / GESARA (THEORY)
NESARA → North America
GESARA → Rest of the world
Timing of Notifications
Originally, notifications were expected by Saturday at the latest. Now uncertain.
Bruce believes notifications may come:
After Iraq’s new Prime Minister takes office (Sunday/Monday)
Possibly extending into Tuesday
Federal Reserve Update
A new Federal Reserve Chair is expected to take office on May 15, with Jerome Powell stepping down.
However, this date is not considered part of the immediate timeline.
This summarizes the main points of the call and the information provided.
WASHINGTON MAKES PROGRESS IN RELATIONS WITH BAGHDAD CONTINGENT ON “DISMANTLING THE FACTIONS”
A spokesman for the US State Department confirmed on Wednesday that dismantling Iraqi factions is a “key pillar” for making progress in bilateral relations between Baghdad and Washington.
The spokesman told Shafaq News Agency, “The US administration was very clear in its vision of what is required to achieve progress in bilateral relations between Washington and Baghdad.”
He added that “dismantling the pro-Iranian armed factions in Iraq is a fundamental pillar for strengthening the relationship,” explaining: “We continue to stand with the Iraqi people in their aspirations towards the common goals of protecting Iraq’s sovereignty, enhancing its security, and building a prosperous future that brings tangible benefits to both Americans and Iraqis
.”
Regarding the financial reward for information about the Secretary-General of Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada, Hashim Fenian Rahim al-Saraji, known as “Abu Ala al-Walai,” the spokesman explained that the “Rewards for Justice” program issued the reward offer for al-Walai due to his involvement in targeting operations that affected diplomatic and military facilities belonging to the United States.
Informed political sources revealed last Monday that a number of leaders of the Coordination Framework had received messages from the United States expressing its strong displeasure with the participation of the Secretary-General of the Sayyid al-Shuhada Brigades, Abu Ala al-Walai, in the last meeting of the Coordination Framework.
The sources told Shafaq News Agency that “Washington expressed surprise at al-Walai’s participation in a political meeting dedicated to choosing the prime minister, just hours after the US State Department announced a financial reward of up to $10 million for information leading to him .”
She added that “the American message was strongly worded, and included an emphasis that the continued coordination framework’s disregard for the nature of the existing relationship and partnership with Washington may push the American administration to conduct a comprehensive reassessment of the bilateral relationship at various levels, particularly in the security and economic aspects.”
The sources indicated that “the American side hinted at the possibility of not engaging or dealing positively with any new Iraqi government, in the event that the leaders of the factions continue to play a major role among the influential forces in shaping its features or directing its political decisions.”
It is noted that the Coordination Framework nominated Ali al-Zaidi on Monday evening to form the new government, and President Nizar Amidi tasked him with forming it.
It is worth noting that the US State Department announced last Friday, through the Rewards for Justice program of the Diplomatic Security Service, a reward of up to $10 million for information about Hashim Finyan Rahim al-Saraji, also known as Abu Ala al-Walai, the leader of the Sayyid al-Shuhada Brigades in Iraq .
The United States had designated Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada and its leader, al-Sarraj, as Specially Designated Global Terrorists in November 2023, before later listing the group as a Foreign Terrorist Organization in September 2025 .
Is the Iraqi dinar revaluation close in 2026? Some analysts believe the groundwork for a potential revaluation is forming, with factors like monetary reform, gold backing discussions, and financial system modernization playing a role. However, no official confirmation exists.
⚠️ Something is shifting — but not in the way most people expect.
No announcements. No sudden headlines. No overnight changes.
👉 Instead… alignment.
Behind the scenes, multiple financial, political, and structural elements appear to be moving in the same direction.
And that’s where things start to get interesting.
📊 THE BIG CLAIM: “GROUNDWORK COMPLETE”
Some analysts, including commentary attributed to Ariel, argue that:
👉 The foundation for a potential Iraqi dinar shift is already in place.
This perspective suggests:
The old financial system is under pressure
Structural contradictions are being exposed
New mechanisms are gradually replacing old ones
But here’s the key:
⚠️ This is interpretation — not confirmation
🏦 GOLD BACKING & MONETARY PRESSURE
A major talking point in current discussions is the idea of gold-backed stability.
References to institutions like the International Monetary Fund highlight ongoing pressure for:
Currency stabilization
Stronger monetary frameworks
Reduced volatility
At the same time, officials such as Ali al-Alaq have emphasized strengthening the national currency.
👉 The argument being made:
You cannot:
Move toward stronger monetary backing
Expand digital/cashless systems
And maintain a weak exchange rate indefinitely
💻 THE SHIFT TOWARD A CASHLESS SYSTEM
One of the most important structural changes:
👉 Movement toward a more digital, cashless financial infrastructure
If implemented effectively, this could:
Improve transparency
Reduce black market activity
Strengthen monetary control
💡 But again — this supports stability, not necessarily immediate revaluation.
⚠️ THE PARALLEL MARKET PROBLEM
A major obstacle in Iraq’s financial system has been:
Parallel currency markets
Arbitrage opportunities
Informal financial flows
Some analysts argue these systems are now: 👉 Facing increasing pressure and restriction
Iraqi Dinar Update: Where We Are (The Ground Work Complete)
We Will Jump Right Into This Report People
Everything is converging at once. The old system is being strangled by its own contradictions, and the pieces for a real Iraqi Dinar revaluation are snapping into place with ruthless precision.
I will write this as simply as possible. Because if you have been following me for the past couple of years you will already understand the importance of certain details.
The IMF is demanding gold backing to stabilize the currency against fluctuations. President Nizar Amedi and Governor Ali al-Alaq have publicly stressed strengthening the dinar. You cannot anchor with gold, go fully cashless by July 2026, and maintain a weak, manipulated rate.
The old banks’ resistance protecting parallel market skims and militia flows is being steamrolled. A meaningful revaluation plus redenomination (“delete the zeros”) becomes structural survival, not optional policy.
What This Means for American IQD Holders
The revaluation will not come through some magical CBI press release. It will come through this perfect-storm alignment: stable government, HCL passage, oil revenue flood, gold anchoring, cashless infrastructure, and international bond/capital inflows that create genuine demand for the dinar.
Once the rate strengthens and stabilizes (gold-backed, tradable on forex windows), the path for US holders opens through compliant American banks.
The process will involve:
– KYC/AML verification (citizenship and source-of-funds checks already being hardened).
– Exchange through authorized correspondent or Treasury-aligned channels.
– Conversion into USD or direct digital rails under the new US Treasury Dollar framework.
