The RV has happened in Iraq for the Dinar and they have been paying their citizens on back pay, military pay and HCL with the new in-country Dinar Rate.
The Iraqi Dinar was not yet on the front screens of the Forex, but it was supposed to start Sun. 7 Jan. That’s the first business day in Iraq.
Bank screens were showing solid rates, while the rates were flashing on Redemption Center front screens. When they stop blinking and go solid on the rates then it’s RV time.
Two sources say notification to set redemption appointments for Tier4b (Us, the Internet Group) can happen any time between now and Monday 8 Jan.
Late this afternoon one source said all releases started this weekend – Bond Holders, Tiers A,B, Fines and Penalties, CMKX, Farm Claims, Prosperity Packages, etc.
Today Thurs. 4 Jan. the update on Restitution and Reclamation (R&R) payments was that notification would start one week after we got our 800 numbers to make appointments for our exchanges.
Ages 61 and above get a R&R lump sum payment. Ages 42-61 should get their R&R paid monthly over two years. SS increase starts in Jan.
Yesterday Wed. 3 Jan. some Bond Holders received notification that they would have access to funds in 4-5 days. They would receive 1% and then the rest after 90 days.
On Dec. 8. Austin spoke with Sudani and advised him that Harakat al-Nujaba and Kata’ib Hizbollah “are responsible for most of the attacks against Coalition personnel.”

WASHINGTON DC, United States (Kurdistan24) – At the Pentagon and State Department, officials confirmed on Thursday that the U.S. had responded to repeated attacks from pro-Iranian militias in Iraq with a drone attack that had targeted high-ranking members of Harakat al-Nujaba.
The group was designated by the U.S. as a terrorist organization in 2019, and already eleven years before that, its leader, Akram Abbas al-Kabi, was designated as a terrorist.
That was Sept. 2008, when George W. Bush was president. Over 15 years have passed, and the group, which has particularly close ties to Iran, has not only survived, but maintains the capability to attack U.S. forces.
The Baghdad government protested Thursday’s retaliatory strike, as a spokesmanfor Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani denounced it as “a dangerous escalation and assault on Iraq.”
But as James Jeffrey, who served as U.S. ambassador in Iraq, as well as Turkey, recently explained to Kurdistan 24, Sudani does not control the pro-Iranian militias in Iraq. They “take orders from Tehran, not Baghdad,” he said.
U.S. Strike: First in Baghdad, First Against Harakat al-Nujaba—Despite Austin’s Warning
Thursday’s attack occurred at noon local time. It targeted Mushtaq Jawad Kazim al-Jawari, a.k.a. Abu Taqwa, Pentagon Press Secretary Air Force Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters later that day.
Jawari, whom Ryder described as “a Harakat al-Nujaba leader,” was “actively involved in planning and carrying out attacks against American personnel.”
Ryder described the U.S. strike as “self-defense” and stressed that no civilians were injured, although a second person, “an associate” of Jawari, was also killed.
Indeed, Harakat al-Nujaba had warning from the Pentagon, but it may well have disregarded the subtle signal, given the Biden administration’s previous inaction.
In early December, Austin spoke with Sudani. The U.S. read-out of their discussion identified Harakat al-Nujaba, along with Kata’ib Hizbollah, as the two militias most responsible for attacking U.S. forces.
Indeed, pro-Iranian militias in Iraq and Syria have targeted troops from the anti-ISIS Coalition over 100 times since mid-October, using the war in Gaza as a pretext for the accelerated rate of their assaults.
As the Institute for the Study of War has said, “Iran and its so-called ‘Axis of Resistance’ are exploiting the Israel-Hamas war to support their objective of expelling US forces from the Middle East.”
But the attacks have met a minimal U.S. response, prompting criticism from various quarters. That includes Amb. Jeffrey in his interview with Kurdistan 24, cited above.
It also includes The Wall Street Journal, which, on Dec. 26, published an editorial entitled, “Biden Endangers U.S. Troops,” and which noted, “Three more American service members are hurt, as U.S. bases became enemy drone catchers.”
Until Thursday, the U.S. had responded only twice to those attacks: one strike on a militia base south of Baghdad on Nov. 22; a second strike in response to a series of attacks, including on Erbil Airport, on Christmas Day.
Both of those strikes were against Kata’ib Hizbollah, even as the Pentagon, by the time of the second attack, had sent Harakat al-Nujaba a subtle warning.
Despite the limited U.S. response to the many attacks, following Thursday’s strike, Defense Department journalists peppered Ryder with questions about whether the Pentagon had a legitimate reason to target Jawari. It was as if they had given little thought to the consequences of not responding to such attacks.
In two very limited respects, Thursday’s strike did mark an increase in the robustness of the Biden administration’s response to the militia attacks.
It was the first U.S. retaliatory strike in Baghdad itself. It was also the first attack that targeted Harakat al-Nujaba.
On Dec. 8, following a flurry of militia assaults—a mortar attack on the U.S. embassy and then other attacks on military bases hosting troops from the anti-ISIS Coalition, including in Erbil—Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin spoke with Sudani.
Austin welcomed Sudani’s statement, expressed earlier that day, in which he denounced the attacks and vowed “to pursue the perpetrators.”
But, most notably, the U.S. read-out of the discussion between Austin and Sudani included the point that Austin had conveyed the conclusion from U.S. intelligence that “the Iranian-backed militant groups Kata’ib Hizbollah and Harakat al-Nujaba, both designated terrorist organizations, are responsible for most of the attacks against Coalition personnel,” while he had affirmed “that the United States reserves the right to respond decisively against those groups.”
And that is pretty much what the U.S. did on Thursday.

Shafaq News / An Iranian report on Thursday indicated a significant toll from the terrorist incident in Kerman, where "beneficiaries" leveraged the media to exploit the incident to increase foreign currency rates and deceive people.
According to Fars News Agency "The killing of 95 individuals and injuring of 284 citizens in yesterday's terrorist attack in Kerman has further exacerbated the pains of the entire Iranian people."
The report highlighted amidst citizens' grief, some businessmen and speculators utilized the bloodshed of the victims of yesterday's terrorist incident for currency fluctuations and speculation. It pointed out that "minutes after the news of the terrorist attack on Kerman residents, certain websites and channels raised exchange rates with specific economic ideologies citing the Kerman bombing and the loss of citizens' lives."
It emphasized that "brokers, unable to manipulate people's lives in recent months, saw the terrorist attack and shedding the blood of fellow countrymen as a good opportunity for profit, despite the trend towards decreasing exchange and gold rates, raising the exchange rate by 500 tomans higher than yesterday's prices."
The report clarified that "all these pressures to increase currency rates occurred while these traders faced a problem of low demand and an inability to execute transactions at the new prices." It noted that activists in the foreign exchange market were aware that brokers were attempting to profit from troubled waters through the available media outlets at their disposal.
For this reason, the currency and metal markets were almost empty of customers yesterday afternoon, with only a few channels raising the exchange rate, according to the report.
Before the terrorist attack, the exchange rate was at 50,100 tomans, but after news of the incident, it rose to 50,600 tomans. The price of the dollar also increased to 50,950 tomans.
According to the report, the story becomes more intriguing when everyone realizes that during yesterday and today, global prices for gold and other metals decreased in global markets, while only prices in the gold, currency, and dollar markets in Iran increased due to the presence of brokers and their specific media outlets.
The report quoted Iranian economic expert, Mohammad Bayat, saying, "Financial markets react to increased political and social risks. Following yesterday's terrorist incident, financial markets seemed to react. However, the sudden increase and growth in prices at a time when there is no demand in the market indicate that some people are trying to raise prices under any pretext."
Bayat emphasized that currency and metal prices primarily decrease due to the decline in the price of gold. This price decline has led to market stagnation for some.
The economic expert concluded that the rise in prices in the currency and metal markets comes without any economic justification. Once the inflation subsides, prices will return to levels targeted by market makers. He advised people to be cautious and avoid getting involved in the game of market fluctuations.
