CENTCOM reveals operations in Iraq, Syria to defeat ISIS
Shafaq News/ The Central Command (CENTCOM) and partner forces conducted operations in Iraq and Syria, from December 30, 2024, to January 6, 2025, in support of the ongoing campaign to defeat ISIS.
From December 30 to January 6, Central Command and Iraqi forces conducted multiple strikes in the Hamrin Mountains of Iraq, targeting known ISIS positions. The operations disrupted and degraded ISIS’s ability to plan, organize, and conduct attacks against civilians in the area, as well as U.S. citizens, allies, and partners throughout the region and beyond.
He noted that during the operations, ISIS fighters clashed with coalition forces on several occasions, which led to the use of coalition airstrikes, using F-16s, F-15s and A-10s. The A-10s, tasked with supporting ground forces in the area, succeeded in eliminating ISIS fighters inside a cave.
One coalition member was killed and two from two different countries were injured. There were no injuries to U.S. personnel or damage to U.S. equipment.
He noted that from January 2 to January 3, the Syrian Democratic Forces, empowered by Central Command forces, conducted an ISIS operation near Deir ez-Zor, Syria, resulting in the capture of the leader of an ISIS attack cell.
The statement stressed that the United States and members of the Multinational Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve (CJTF-OIR) maintain our continued commitment to combating ISIS.

Remember that picture Alaq was holding up with the big board [of 1940 1 dinar note]...That is an old picture from 2017 [article]...If you go back and read it, it told the Iraqi citizens they the CBI was starting a mechanism to add value, purchasing power, to their currency.
[Now] they showed that same picture from the archives to tell Iraqi citizens they are done, what they started in 2017 they have finished in '24.
They are done and we are now going to introduce the lower notes and a new exchange rate. That's why you [Iraqi citizens] are being given [exchange 3-zero note] instructions today...
Economist: New steps by the Central Bank regarding dollar transactions, 7 JAN
Economist: New steps by the Central Bank regarding dollar transactions
Economic expert Safwan Qusay revealed today, Sunday, that there are new steps by the Central Bank to enhance transparency and global openness.
Qusay said in a statement to Al-Maalouma Agency that “the Central Bank of Iraq and the US Federal Reserve are moving towards authorizing Iraqi banks to contract with international auditing companies, instead of relying on the dollar selling platform alone, with the aim of auditing credits and transfers before they are implemented."
He explained that "this measure is in the interest of the Central Bank, as it contributes to avoiding the risks of money laundering cases and international sanctions," noting that "this step is a turning point that contributes to drawing a clear map for the work of Iraqi banks on the global stage, as they will deal with international correspondents and financial guarantees in addition to instant transfers, which enhances their position in global markets.”
He pointed out that "it is possible to rehabilitate banks that are currently facing restrictions, which will lead to achieving greater stability in the exchange rate," indicating that "the Central Bank attaches special importance in the next stage to increasing foreign currency reserves, which contributes to facilitating trade operations and supporting economic activity.” link

Auctions in Iraq have been occurring. I was told by a contact over there that this is the final part of their de-dollarization.
Article: “The Iraqi dollar and the first day “passed peacefully” The Central Bank is innocent and free for the dinar”
According to Iraqi Press today is the first day without the auctions. I am feeling good about auctions ending which should mean a new rate. I am told Iraq was reducing their reserves to de-dollarize the market. This in anticipation of a rate change.
