US Congress Votes to Repeal Iraq War Authorisations
The US Congress has voted in both the House of Representatives and the Senate to repeal the 1991 and 2002 Authorisations for Use of Military Force against Iraq, as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2026.
The repeal is awaiting ratification by President Donald Trump.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Iraq said the decision marks a fundamental shift in the legal framework governing relations between the two countries, reinforcing respect for Iraq's sovereignty and supporting a renewed strategic partnership.
The ministry added that the repeal sends a clear signal to the international community that Iraq has become a stable and secure environment for attracting investment.
Full statement from the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs views with great pleasure the historic vote by the US Congress, in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, to repeal the Authorizations for Use of Military Force against Iraq of 1991 and 2002, included within the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026, and awaits its ratification by President Donald Trump.
The completion of the repeal process for the abovementioned Authorizations for Use of Military Force, in place for over three decades, reflects the change in the convictions of U.S. lawmakers due to a set of domestic and external considerations. This repeal also constitutes a fundamental turning point in reshaping the legal nature of the relationship between the two countries and lays the foundation for a new framework of relations based on respect for Iraq's sovereignty and the closure of the legacy of war. It also enhances the framework of the strategic partnership and conveys to the world a message that Iraq has become an environment safe for attracting investment.
The Ministry considers that the repeal of the Authorizations for Use of Military Force does not damage counterterrorism efforts, because the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force, issued in response to the September 11 attacks to address the threats posed by Al-Qaeda and other associated terrorist organizations, remains in force.
The Ministry also reiterates the commitment of the Government of the Republic of Iraq to strengthening bilateral relations in a manner that contributes to building a long-term partnership, serves the interests of the two friendly countries, and supports stability in the Middle East region.

MARKZ: 🇮🇶 Iraq Pushes Toward HCL & Monetary Reform | MarkZ via PDK Intel Update
📌 Introduction: Why Iraq News Matters Right Now
Fresh intel shared by MarkZ (via PDK) is drawing attention to rapid political and monetary movement inside Iraq, particularly as key deadlines approach.
According to MarkZ, Iraq appears to be scrambling to complete unfinished files before Parliament reconvenes on December 29, with strong implications for:
HCL (Hydrocarbon Law)
Article 140
Banking and monetary reform
Purchasing power of the Iraqi dinar
Many long-time observers see this as exactly the type of pressure and activity expected before a major financial shift.
🏛️ Article 140, Election Law & Urgent Political Timelines
Article Referenced:
“Article 140 and the Council of the Federation with the amendment of the election law. A delegation from the party to implement the outstanding files with Baghdad”
Key takeaways from MarkZ’s commentary:
The Kurdish region is pushing hard to:
Finalize agreements with Baghdad
Resolve long-standing constitutional and revenue-sharing issues
There is urgency to:
Complete the government formation
Finalize files before Parliament sits again on December 29
According to MarkZ, the motivation is clear:
They want the HCL done so they can get their new rate.
This type of coordinated political pressure is viewed as a strong signal by those tracking dinar reform.
⏳ Why December 29 Is a Critical Date
December 29 keeps coming up across multiple intel sources because:
Parliament resumes
Outstanding laws must be settled beforehand
Monetary and fiscal reforms appear to be entering their final phase
MarkZ emphasized:
There is a massive push… this is what we wanted to see… so this is exciting today.
📉 Dinar Devaluation Talk: A Familiar Pattern?
Another Iraqi headline raised eyebrows:
Article:
“Iraqi Economist warns of possible dinar devaluation amid fiscal pressure”
MarkZ addressed this directly:
Iraq has already stated they would not devalue
Similar stories appeared:
In Kuwait
In China
Historically, such articles often surface right before revaluations, not devaluations
This type of media messaging is seen by many as pre-conditioning, not policy direction.
🏦 Central Bank Signals: Monetary Reform Status
Article:
“Monetary Policy Indicators confirm Central Bank first in 2025”
MarkZ interpreted this as highly significant.
According to his analysis:
Iraq confirms full access to banking and monetary reform
Covering 2023, 2024, and 2025
Authorities are signaling that:
Major reforms are already completed
Remaining steps will be finalized this month
The reforms are described as being:
Solely designed to lift the purchasing power of the dinar
This aligns closely with long-standing expectations of a structured, multi-year reform plan reaching completion.

❓ Q&A – Common Questions

Q: Why is HCL so important?
A: HCL is widely viewed as a prerequisite for revenue sharing and economic normalization.

🔍 Why This Update Is Significant
What stands out in this intel:
Deadlines
Political urgency
Consistent messaging from Iraq’s financial institutions
Historical patterns repeating
For many watchers, this represents alignment rather than coincidence.
🙏 Final Thoughts
Nothing is official until it happens. However, the speed, pressure, and coordination currently visible inside Iraq are exactly what many have waited years to see.
As MarkZ noted, this is:
What we wanted to see.
Stay watchful. Stay grounded. And stay prepared.

Article: “Article 140 and the Council of the Federation with the amendment of the election law. A delegation from the “party” to implement the outstanding files with Baghdad”
The Kurdish region is scrambling to get the government done before Parliament sits again (Dec 29) they want the HCL done so they can get their new rate. There is a massive push….this is what we wanted to see…so this is exciting today.
Some fun stuff out of Iraq this morning: “Iraqi Economist warns of possible dinar devaluation amid fiscal pressure”
This is very similar to what we saw in Kuwait. Iraq has already told us they would not go there. But these are the kind of stories they run before RVs…we saw the same thing in China as well.
Article: “Monetary Policy Indicators confirm Central Bank first in 2025”
This means they have all the access to banking and monetary reform for the years of 2023 to 2025. They are telling us that they have completed…in 23 and 24 and 2025…that they have completed this massive reform that is solely designed to lift the purchasing power of the dinar. They are telling us they will finish the banking reforms during the rest of this month.
At Christmas Party, Trump Publicly Acknowledges U.S. Envoy to Iraq
At Christmas Party, Trump Publicly Acknowledges U.S. Envoy to Iraq
Trump praised U.S. Envoy to Iraq Mark Savaya at a White House Christmas event, as the U.S. President praised sweeping first-year achievements.
A brief but pointed acknowledgment by U.S. President Donald Trump of America’s envoy to Iraq, Mark Savaya, during the White House’s 2025 Christmas party has drawn attention in diplomatic and political circles, symbolizing both personal rapport and the broader confidence projected by the administration as it declares sweeping domestic and international achievements.
In a post on X dated Dec. 19, 2025, Savaya publicly thanked President Trump for recognizing him during the White House Christmas gathering, writing: “President Trump, thank you for your kind acknowledgment at the 2025 White House Christmas party. You are truly the greatest president this country has ever had. Merry Christmas and may God bless you and the United States of America.”
The post was accompanied by a video capturing the moment in which President Trump acknowledged Savaya among a select group of invited guests, offering praise in front of the assembled audience.
The exchange occurred during what President Trump described as a particularly exclusive and tightly attended event.
Addressing the crowd, the president reflected on the significance of the gathering, noting that the Christmas party was “the toughest invitation,” emphasizing that attendance was limited and that those present held “special significance.”
Within that context, Trump called out Savaya by name, remarking, “Mark Savaya. Hey Mark! You’re looking good,” before continuing to recognize others in attendance and expressing pride in those gathered.
The moment, though brief, was emblematic of the administration’s broader messaging during the holiday season—an effort to project unity, loyalty, and confidence as the White House closed out its first year in office.
Savaya’s public response, effusive in its praise of the president, underscored the personal dimension of that acknowledgment and highlighted the envoy’s visibility within the administration at a time of heightened focus on U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.
