Iraqi Crude Oil Ranks Third As The Largest Supplier To The United States
Economy | 21/12/2025 Mawazin News - Baghdad: The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) announced on Sunday that Iraq ranked third among the largest exporters of crude oil to the United States last week.
The EIA stated in its statistics that "U.S. crude oil imports averaged 5.675 million barrels per day (bpd) last week from nine major countries, a decrease of 132,000 bpd from the previous week's average of 5.807 million bpd."
It added that "Iraq's oil exports to the U.S. averaged 306,000 bpd, an increase of 231,000 bpd from the previous week's average of 75,000 bpd, making it the third largest supplier to the U.S. for that week."
The EIA indicated that "the largest share of U.S. oil imports last week came from Canada, averaging 4.164 million bpd, followed by Saudi Arabia at 321,000 bpd, Mexico at an average of 243,000 bpd, and Colombia at an average of 232,000 bpd."
According to the table, "U.S. crude oil imports from Venezuela averaged 193,000 barrels per day, from Brazil 184,000 barrels per day, from Ecuador 32,000 barrels per day, and from Nigeria 2,000 barrels per day, while no oil was imported from Libya last week."
The U.S. imports most of its crude oil and refined products from these ten major countries. With a daily oil consumption of approximately 20 million barrels, the U.S. is the world's largest oil consumer. https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=271833
MNT GOAT & WALKINGSTICK: Parliament Session Aligns With Early January CBI Window
Disclaimer
This article contains commentary, opinion, and interpretation based on Mnt Goat and Walkingstick reports and publicly referenced articles. It is not financial advice. Always consult qualified professionals before making financial decisions.
Presidential Decree: Parliament to Convene December 29
An important article cited by Mnt Goat states:
“A presidential decree sets the 29th of this month as the date for the first parliamentary session.”
This confirms that Iraq’s Parliament will begin its first session on December 29, a date that many observers consider strategically significant.
Mnt Goat’s reaction sums it up clearly:
“WOW! That is very close.”
Why Parliament Comes First
Parliament is the first of the three branches of Iraq’s new government that must be formally established following elections.
The three branches include:
Legislative (Parliament)
Executive
Judicial
Without Parliament:
No full government formation
No legal framework for reforms
No authority to finalize economic legislation
This makes the December 29 session a critical milestone, not a formality.
Alignment With the Early January CBI Window
Mnt Goat highlights a key point:
Parliament beginning on December 29 falls directly within the window for the early January Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) target.
This timing matters because:
Monetary reform requires a seated government
Exchange rate policy must align with legal authority
Budget execution depends on parliamentary approval
In short, politics and monetary reform timelines are converging.
Walkingstick: De-Dollarization Accelerates
Walkingstick adds another layer to the analysis, stating:
“Trump is de-dollarizing the whole Middle East.”
While this is an interpretive statement, it reflects a broader regional trend:
Reduced dependence on the U.S. dollar
Increased use of local currencies
Sovereign monetary control
For Iraq, de-dollarization strengthens the case for:
A credible national currency
A functional exchange rate
Stronger domestic banking confidence
In-Country Information Phase Approaching
According to Walkingstick (via Aki):
Iraq is approaching a phase where information will be released to citizens inside Iraq
This information will be strictly in-country
It will not be shared externally at first
This is significant because:
Legal restrictions limit who can speak and when
Once citizens are informed, external commentary becomes permissible
This often marks the transition from preparation to execution
Why Silence Outside Iraq Matters
Walkingstick emphasizes that:
Until in-country disclosure occurs
Discussions outside Iraq are legally restricted
Once that line is crossed, communication opens up
This could explain:
Current lack of official international commentary
Controlled messaging
Sudden shifts when the legal threshold is reached
Putting the Pieces Together
When viewed collectively:
December 29 parliamentary session
Early January CBI target window
De-dollarization trends
Planned in-country disclosures
These elements suggest structured sequencing, not random events.
Featured Snippets
When does Iraq’s parliament begin its first session?
Iraq’s first parliamentary session is set for December 29, according to a presidential decree.
Why is December 29 important for Iraq’s economy?
Parliament must be seated before major economic and monetary reforms can be legally finalized.
What does de-dollarization mean for Iraq?
De-dollarization supports national currency strength and reduces reliance on foreign currencies.
Q&A Section
Q: Does the December 29 session guarantee a rate change?
A: No. It enables the legal framework but does not guarantee immediate action.
Q: Why is early January often mentioned?
A: New fiscal years, budget execution, and monetary adjustments commonly align with January timelines.
Q: Why can’t information be shared yet?
A: Legal restrictions require citizens inside Iraq to be informed first.
Final Thoughts
This update reinforces a recurring theme across multiple intel sources: sequence matters.
Government formation precedes reform
Legal authority precedes execution
Citizen disclosure precedes global awareness
December 29 is not just a date—it is a gateway. What follows depends on execution, not speculation.
Patience remains essential.
Structure appears firmly in place.

“THE RELEASE DATE”: TNT TONY RV INTEL POINTS TO A HOLIDAY WINDOW
Disclaimer
This article reflects unverified intel, opinions, and commentary attributed to TNT Tony and notes by Ginger Doucet. It is not financial advice. No dates or rates are confirmed. Always consult qualified professionals before making financial decisions.
Banks Reportedly Preparing for Holiday Operations
According to TNT Tony, banks have allegedly been informed that they will be working on Christmas Day, with staff receiving triple-time pay. This detail has drawn attention because:
Banks rarely operate on major holidays
Special pay suggests anticipated high activity
Holiday staffing often aligns with non-routine financial events
While unconfirmed, this claim has fueled speculation across the RV community.
Rates Allegedly Released to Banks
Tony reports that:
Rates were released to banks on Friday
Initial expectations were for a Saturday start
A meeting was held Friday where a holiday release was allegedly chosen instead
This sequence, if accurate, would explain the unusual holiday preparation.
Holiday Timing: Why December 23 Is Being Watched
The December 23 Narrative
According to Tony:
Christmas Day was originally considered
The date allegedly shifted back to December 23
The release is said to be “supposed to start tomorrow”
No official confirmation exists, but December 23 is now being heavily discussed as a potential activation window.
“A Christmas Present” Narrative
Tony claims:
“TRUMP wanted to give out a CHRISTMAS PRESENT!”
This framing fits a long-standing narrative within RV circles that major financial moves could be aligned with symbolic or holiday timing. However, readers should note this is speculative commentary, not an official statement.
800 Number Watch
Tony states:
If the 800 number is released this evening
He will host another call later today
Participants would need to be at the bank by 7:00 a.m.
As always, the appearance of an 800 number would be considered a significant development, though none has been publicly verified at the time of writing.
Global Liquidity Needs Highlighted
Tony emphasizes that:
Many global players “need the money”
He specifically mentions:
European Union
China
Iraq
This argument suggests a broader global liquidity motivation, rather than a single-country event.
Managing Expectations: Not Everyone Gets Millions
One of the most grounded points in this update is Tony’s caution:
“Not everyone will get millions or billions.”
He stresses:
Outcomes will vary widely
Those receiving smaller amounts must be extremely careful
Poor financial management could result in losses within six months
This reminder highlights the importance of:
Financial planning
Professional advice
Long-term discipline
Community Sentiment: Hope Meets Caution
According to Tony:
Bank personnel are optimistic
The phrase “This is finally it!” is circulating again
Excitement is high—but so are expectations
History has shown that emotional balance is critical during moments like this.
Featured Snippets
What is TNT Tony saying about the RV release date?
TNT Tony suggests a possible holiday release window, with December 23 mentioned as a potential start date, though nothing is officially confirmed.
Are banks really working on Christmas Day?
According to Tony, banks were told to prepare for holiday work with special pay, but this remains unverified.
Will everyone receive large payouts?
No. Tony cautions that outcomes will vary and stresses careful financial management.
Q&A Section
Q: Is December 23 confirmed as the RV date?
A: No. December 23 is speculative and based on intel reports, not official announcements.
Q: Has the 800 number been released?
A: No confirmed public release at this time.
Q: Should people prepare to exchange immediately?
A: Preparation is wise, but no action should be taken without verified instructions.
Final Thoughts
This update represents another surge of holiday-based optimism within the RV community. While the details are compelling—holiday staffing, alleged rate visibility, and global liquidity pressure—confirmation remains the missing piece.
Hope is understandable.
Caution is essential.
Preparation should be practical, not emotional.

“The Release Date” – TNT Tony RV Intel Update
Notes by Ginger Doucet
Tony says banks have been told they’re working Christmas Day.
They get triple-time for this.
The rates were released to the banks on Friday and they expected us to go on Saturday. They had a meeting on Friday and decided to do a holiday release.
TRUMP wanted to give out a CHRISTMAS PRESENT!
The release date is supposed to be Dec 23!
They were going to do it on Christmas Day but it fell back to the 23rd.
Tony says it’s supposed to start tomorrow.
If the 800 number is released this evening, Tony will have another call this evening.
They have to be in the bank at 7:00 a.m.
Everyone is saying, “This is finally it!”
Everyone needs the money: The European Union, China, Iraq!
Tony: “This is going to be great, again!”
Not everyone will get millions, or billions.
Those who get less have to be EXTREMELY careful with their money or they will be broke in 6 months.
