US State Department: Sudanese visit to Washington ‘successful’ and Iran ‘does not respect’ Iraq’s sovereignty, 24 APRIL
Fourth – follow-up
The US State Department confirmed that Prime Minister Mohammed Shiaa al-Sudani’s visit to Washington was successful, while noting that Iran “does not respect” Iraq’s sovereignty.
“We find it particularly worrisome to resume attacks against U.S. individuals just hours after Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammad Shiaa al-Sudani completed a successful visit to Washington, so it seems clear that Iran does not respect Iraqi sovereignty,” ministry spokesman Matthew Miller said at a press conference.
“We have seen these attacks in the past, and we have made it clear that we will defend our interests, we will defend our people, and that remains the case,” Miller added.
US Central Command Centcom had announced that coalition forces had foiled a missile attack near the Ramilan base in Syria, and no U.S. personnel were injured.
Earlier, Reuters quoted two Iraqi security sources as saying that at least 5 rockets were fired from the Iraqi town of Zammar towards a US military base in northeast Syria on Sunday.

Question: There is a rumor a contractor living in the US used his CBI card and the rate was about $3.91...Do you believe the $3.91 story is real?
Yes I do believe it’s real...But, I do not believe that is the rate everybody gets because I have talked to some with these debit cards in the US and they have not seen that rate change. Whereas others have…so I think they are priming the pump and testing the system.
I get reports from Iraq and bankers that things are well underway. And when they get to a certain point they will pull the trigger for us.
We don’t know when it’s going to happen but the earliest I am hearing is yesterday or today…the latest I am hearing is May 9th.

Al Sudani when him and his delegation was here to say they were busy would be an understatement. Did you see all the meetings? Meeting with the president, Secretary of State, the Pentagon... The Czech Prime Minister, Homeland Security...Signing 18 memorandums of understanding...JP Morgan...Iraq was really busy when they were here. They saw a lot of people. This is a good sign.
Question: "What are the proper notes to hold for investment purposes?"
Any of the currency is okay to hold at the moment so there's no specific denomination. If they do delete the zeros or they re-denominate they're going to have whole new currencies. That's why there's no rush to try to find lower denominations because they're going to replace all of them including the lower ones. But there is a possibility that they don't re-denominate and we get lucky and they change the exchange rate and keep the zeros on the currency.
