US Troops to Withdraw from Iraq by 2026: What It Means

DINAR REVALUATION REPORT: Preliminary Agreement on US Troop Withdrawal from Iraq by 2026, 9 SEPT

 Preliminary Agreement on US Troop Withdrawal from Iraq by 2026

On September 7, 2024, Reuters reported that the United States and Iraq have reached a preliminary agreement on the withdrawal of US-led coalition forces from Iraq, with the majority of troops expected to depart by the end of 2026. 1The plan, which has been broadly agreed upon but awaits final approval and a formal announcement, would see several hundred troops depart by September 2025, with the remaining forces set to leave by the end of 2026. 1

Agreement Details and Timeline

According to sources familiar with ongoing negotiations, an agreement has been reached, and it is now a matter of when to announce it. 1 Discussions are underway to establish a new advisory role that could see a smaller number of US troops remain in Iraq following the drawdown. 1

An official announcement was initially expected weeks ago but was delayed due to regional tensions stemming from Israel's war in Gaza and remaining logistical details.  1 Technical negotiations between Baghdad and Washington, initiated by Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani in January 2023, have concluded. 1

Bilateral Cooperation and Shift in Relationship

Farhad Alaaldin, the prime minister's foreign affairs adviser, said the talks marked a shift in the US-Iraq relationship, emphasizing future bilateral cooperation in military, security, economic, and cultural sectors. 1 Alaaldin did not comment on the specifics of the plan. 1

The agreement follows months of rising tensions, including attacks by Iran-backed Iraqi militias on US forces, which have killed three American troops and injured dozens more.  1 US forces have retaliated with airstrikes, complicating efforts to stabilize Iraq after years of conflict. 1

Current US Presence in Iraq

The US currently has 2,500 troops in Iraq and 900 in neighboring Syria, part of a coalition formed in 2014 to combat the Islamic State. 1 Although Islamic State has been territorially defeated in Iraq since 2017, US officials argue that their presence helps counter Iranian influence in the region. 6

Under the new plan, coalition forces would vacate the Ain al-Asad airbase in Anbar province and scale back their presence in Baghdad by September 2025. 6Troops are expected to remain in Erbil, in northern Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region, until the end of 2026 to assist with operations. 6

Impact on Regional Tensions

The withdrawal of US troops could potentially impact the regional power dynamics, given that the US military presence in Iraq has been instrumental in keeping Iran and Iran-backed militants in check. 3 Some observers believe that their departure could have significant implications for the security situation in the region. 3

Topic: IRAQ and Troop withdrawal BY GINGER TELEGRAM ROOM, 9 SEPT

 💢Part 2/2 - Wonderful help  from Helicopter Lady, Liberty Lounger Extraordinaire. 

Topic: IRAQ and Troop withdrawal - 9.8.24

💢 Helicopter Lady: Hello dear Ginger: The good news is that Reuters has announced that Iraq and the US have come to a preliminary troop withdrawal agreement starting November 2025.

It means that we are finally close to an official announcement.

The date of November 2025 deadline solves 3 problems:

1. Iraq can make an "official announcement"

2. It gives them 15 months to pay the US for all the infrastructure projects that the Americans completed during the oversight period and military occupation

 

3. It allows the WTO now to proceed with the next step in accrediting Iraq's membership.

There is another reason why this is very good news! Trump wants to make a point that even while our US troops are leaving in a friendly way, it still takes a year to get them (and our equipment) home safely. I think he is building the story so that he can use it as a contrast with how (carelessly) Biden withdrew the troops from Afghanistan willy nilly: in just one week, causing all sorts of upheaval, including getting people killed during the process. 

President Trump wants the Americans to see the difference. Maybe it is timed like this to bring it up during the debate on Tuesday between President Trump and Kamala. I don't see how Kamala can last 1 1/2 hours under Trump's stare. 💥👀💥

💢 Ginger adds: I feel really great about this USA Troop withdrawal announcement and even the timing of it. It's not discouraging to me in the least bit. I don't foresee at all that this will delay the financial reforms and "The Camper Event". 

We heard news many months back, which I brought to you, explaining that the withdrawal of USA military was slated for next year. Plus Al Sudani used kinda forceful words insisting the military depart the region, but this is also kind of a way to "save face", like we don't need you anymore! We are sovereign now! But behind closed doors, at the same time, you can imagine him saying, "Hey, could we get a little help for just a little while longer?" - knowing Iraq is about to go through an incredible transformation - right? 

I explained last Fall that the troops were going to begin a slow, scheduled, safe and intentional departure but they would leave about 1000 military members behind for ongoing safety needs. This is the crew which will help oversee security and stability and training for Iraq during and after their transition period. 

We also told you about a retired Special F0rces Marine, from where we live, who was tasked to return to the sandbox as a contract worker to train other military, new and incoming to the sandbox, on security protocols and procedures for the region, because he was already well-experienced in that department. My gut tells me that he's equipping those final one thousand troops so that the others, those who've been there the longest, get to begin the rotation to come on home. This allows Iraq to "save face", maintain some extra security and safety standards for all those who will be traveling there and exchanging - plus the removal of any remaining bad actors who cause trouble before, during and after Iraq IQD rate change occurs. 

I just want to be clear that Iraq isn't going to need to hold off their RI/RV until the last of the troops withdrawal in November 2025. ➡️ The USA can still get paid, the USA troops can begin a scheduled, calculated and planned departure; and the remaining skeleton crew - bare minimum needed for securing safety during the transition - can all happen before next Fall 2025. 

Hope this helps and brings you as much encouragement as it does for me! This is when you know you "can see the light at the end of the tunnel" and be super thankful that it's not an on-coming train 🚂!  😛😁😆😂

How Iraq's Central Bank Decisions Shape Inflation and Currency Strength

DINAR REVALUATION REPORT: Central Bank Decisions and Their Impact on Inflation and Currency Strength in Iraq, 9 SEPT

 Central Bank Decisions and Their Impact on Inflation and Currency Strength in Iraq

In the context of Iraq's oil-dependent economy, the Central Bank's decisions play a crucial role in managing inflation and stabilizing the currency. As of September 9, 2024, the Iraqi economy is recovering from the oil and COVID-19 shocks of 2020, with real GDP estimated to have grown by 1.3% in 2021 after a sharp contraction of 11.3% in 2020. 1 Government revenues surged by 73% year-over-year in 2021, spurred by higher oil prices and devaluation measures that boosted non-oil domestic revenues. However, this fiscal recovery and the currency's stability are influenced by the Central Bank's policies.

Central Bank's Role in Managing Inflation

The Central Bank of Iraq faces challenges in controlling inflation, especially given its high oil dependency. Inflation shocks can impact the exchange rate, with the currency of a country experiencing higher-than-expected inflation expected to depreciate against another's currency to maintain purchasing power parity. 3However, in advanced economies, exchange rates may appreciate against major trade partners' currencies on days of higher-than-expected inflation surprises, a phenomenon that contrasts with the PPP theory's predictions. The Central Bank's policy reactions to inflation shocks significantly influence market behavior. 3

Central Bank's Influence on Currency Strength

The Central Bank's decisions, particularly regarding foreign currency transactions, have a direct impact on the strength of the Iraqi dinar. For instance, the decision to stop using the Chinese yuan after the US Federal Reserve accused Iraq of "inflating transfers" could raise the US dollar exchange rate and increase inflation, potentially harming Iraqi families. 2 This move has been described as a "misstep" by economists, as it could negatively impact the local market by increasing demand for the dollar and subsequently the dollar exchange rate.  2

Fiscal Adjustments and Economic Reforms

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has recommended significant fiscal adjustments for Iraq, emphasizing the need to reduce oil dependence and ensure fiscal sustainability. 5 The authorities are advised to control the public wage bill and increase non-oil tax revenues while enabling private sector development through labor market reforms, financial sector modernization, and restructuring of state-owned banks. 5

Conclusion

The Central Bank's decisions are critical in managing inflation and stabilizing the currency in Iraq. However, the effectiveness of these decisions is influenced by the country's high oil dependency and external economic pressures. To ensure long-term economic stability, Iraq must implement fiscal adjustments and economic reforms recommended by the IMF, focusing on reducing oil dependence and fostering private sector development. 5

Are Central Bank Decisions Sufficient To Stop Inflation And Strengthen The Currency In Iraq?, 9 SEPT

 September 8, 2024 Last updated: September 8, 2024   Independent/- As part of the Iraqi government’s efforts to improve the economic situation and stabilize the local currency, the financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, revealed the role of the central bank’s decisions in reducing inflation rates and enhancing the value of the national currency.

 
While Saleh's statements reflect the government's commitment to achieving economic stability, many questions arise about the effectiveness of these policies in confronting real economic challenges.
 
The role of the central bank in stabilizing the currency: Saleh stressed that the monetary policies of the central bank, including decisions to raise or lower interest rates, play an important role in stabilizing the local currency.

He explained that these policies aim to achieve a balance between the internal and external value of the currency, which is supposed to contribute to reducing inflation rates.
 
While these measures are viewed as economic stabilizers, the question remains as to how well they will meet the challenges of rising inflation and other economic pressures.
 
Economic growth and enhancing the value of the currency: Saleh pointed out that sustainable economic growth enhances the value and stability of the currency.
 
He stressed that the real factors affecting currency strength include high productivity, good employment, real investment, and innovation.
 
In this context, many wonder about the ability of the Iraqi economy to achieve this sustainable growth , in light of the challenges it faces, such as low oil prices and political crises.
 
Technology and Innovation: Stimulating Productivity and Economic Growth: Saleh pointed out that technology and innovation can play a decisive role in improving productivity and economic growth, which enhances the value of the currency.
 
However, while innovation and technology are positive factors, achieving these goals requires a suitable environment for research and development, as well as effective investment support.
 
In this regard, questions remain about the extent of Iraq's ability to achieve these requirements amid the current challenges.
 
The importance of political and administrative stability: Saleh also explained that political stability and the strength of the administrative system are important factors in enhancing confidence in the national currency.
 
In this context, many wonder about the stability of the political and administrative situation in Iraq, especially in light of the ongoing political crises and administrative challenges.
 
Achieving political stability may be essential to achieving the desired economic goals.

WOLVERINE LIVE CHAT 8/9/2024

It looks like things are ready to get started.

I'm getting news that Iraq is ready to put the Dinar on Forex, hopefully today.

If that happens, the RV will start. I'm told they will start after midnight tonight. And when this happens, it will be real and it will be emotional for all of us. 

First to go are German bonds and Yellow Dragon bonds this week! 

They will take a few days to arrive, and then the rest of the bonuses will arrive in the next few days. 

Orders have now arrived for ALL BANKS IN THE WORLD to activate QFS on all bank accounts! Get ready for that! 

There will be some funds in that Nesara Gesara QFS, so check your bank for those funds! I think everything will come at once. 

Precatorias has a geopolitical problem in Brazil with the ruler; In my opinion, I think it's all nonsense, just a delaying tactic. In my opinion, they are just waiting to start on the rest of us like a shotgun drop. The Precatorias are an F&P and are not a real part of the redemption process. It's considered a blessing, so they're technically in the RV. 

There's not much more to say. The orders have been given.

We'll see you tomorrow, your Monday. Therefore, you may receive your notifications maybe after midnight. 

If you receive your notification, put it in the channel you received your notifications on, as you will not be under NDA yet. 

It has been a huge and difficult challenge for me, a very difficult roller coaster. I haven't been able to sleep as I've been trying to get a lot of information for you. 

I wish you all peace and blessings. Let's hope it happens tomorrow with a rainbow outside my window! 

* Once again, they have given orders for QFS to be activated IN ALL BANKS IN THE WORLD. We are waiting for IQD to activate in Forex. Notifications should arrive after midnight, so keep an eye on your emails. The Precatorias - IMO is waiting to be released along with all the others as a shotgun release.

 CHAT EN VIVO DE WOLVERINE 8/9/2024

Parece que las cosas están listas para comenzar. Estoy recibiendo noticias de que Irak está listo para poner el Dinar en Forex, con suerte hoy. Si eso sucede, el RV comenzará. Me han dicho que comenzarán después de la medianoche de hoy. Y, cuando esto suceda, será real y será emotivo para todos nosotros. 

¡Los primeros en desaparecer son los bonos alemanes y los bonos del Dragón Amarillo esta semana! 

Tardarán unos días en llegar, y luego el resto de los bonos llegarán en los próximos días. 

¡Ya han llegado las órdenes para que TODOS LOS BANCOS DEL MUNDO activen el QFS en todas las cuentas bancarias! ¡Prepárense para eso! 

Habrá algunos fondos en ese QFS de Nesara Gesara, ¡así que verifiquen su banco para esos fondos! Creo que todo llegará a la vez. 

Precatorias tiene un problema geopolítico en Brasil con el gobernante; en mi opinión, creo que todo es una tontería, solo una táctica dilatoria. En mi opinión, solo están esperando comenzar con el resto de nosotros como un lanzamiento de escopeta. Las Precatorias son un F&P y no son una parte real del proceso de redención. Se considera una bendición, por lo que técnicamente están en el RV. 

No hay mucho más que decir. Se han dado las órdenes. 

Nos veremos mañana, tu lunes. Por lo tanto, es posible que recibas tus notificaciones tal vez después de la medianoche. 

Si recibes tu notificación, ponla en el canal en el que recibiste tus notificaciones, ya que aún no estarás bajo NDA. 

Ha sido un desafío enorme y difícil para mí, una montaña rusa muy difícil. No he podido dormir, ya que he estado tratando de obtener mucha información para ti. 

Les deseo paz a todos y bendiciones. ¡Esperemos que mañana suceda con un arcoíris junto a mi ventana! 

* Nuevamente, han dado órdenes para que se active el QFS EN TODOS LOS BANCOS DEL MUNDO. Estamos esperando que IQD se active en Forex. Las notificaciones deberían llegar después de la medianoche, así que estén atentos a sus correos electrónicos. The Precatorias - IMO está esperando ser lanzado junto con todos los demás como lanzamiento de escopeta. 

Que tengan un hermoso día. Cuídense, Wolverine. (Transcrito por Carpathia)
