On a "secret" visit... Qaani in Baghdad carrying several files, including the restructuring of some armed factions
1/5/2025
An informed source revealed on Sunday that the commander of the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, Ismail Qaani, arrived in the capital, Baghdad, on a "secret" visit during which he met with a number of leaders of Iraqi armed factions, ahead of a visit by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani to Iran this week.
The source told Shafaq News Agency, "Qaani arrived in Baghdad today on an unannounced visit and met individually with some leaders of the factions affiliated with the Popular Mobilization Forces. He is scheduled to hold an expanded meeting in the coming hours with the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, the forces of the Coordination Framework, and the head of the Popular Mobilization Authority."
He explained that "Qaani will discuss during her meetings with Iraqi officials a number of files, including restructuring and legalizing the weapons of armed factions and disengaging some of them. Ways and mechanisms may be adopted to transform some of those factions into political forces or fronts."
He pointed out that "the details of what is happening in Syria and controlling the security of the region to prevent the return of ISIS will be discussed, as well as unifying visions and positions in supporting cooperation with the government's directions in this file."
Earlier today, the media office of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani announced that the latter intends to make an official visit to Iran next Wednesday of this week.
The office explained in a statement received by Shafaq News Agency, "The visit will include discussing bilateral relations between the two countries, and ways to enhance them, in light of what was achieved during the visit of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to Baghdad in September of last year, in addition to the developments witnessed in the region."
An informed source revealed, at the end of 2024, that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani will begin a visit to Iran at the end of this week, to discuss developments in the region.
The source told Shafaq News Agency that Al-Sudani will discuss several files with Iranian leaders, most notably the recent developments in Syria.
Al-Sudani had made several visits to countries in the region after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime, including Jordan and Saudi Arabia, where he discussed security issues with the leaders of these countries. Iraq also participated in the Aqaba Conference held in Jordan, with the participation of several countries, including the United States.

Judy Note on EXCHANGING CURRENCY AND REDEEMING ZIM BONDS
I am not an authority on currency exchanges or ZIM Bond redemption, but I am frequently approached for guidance. The below reflects my personal opinion only and is intended to provide general understanding of the process.
Based on my understandingand personal opinion, here is an outline of the possible process:
WHITE HAT MILITARY OVERSIGHT: The White Hat Military oversees all exchanges and redemptions. Their advanced Quantum Computer system has complete access to personal data, including changes in addresses, contact details, and the purchase history of currencies and ZIM Bonds.
PERSONAL INVOLVEMENT REQUIRED – Only you can exchange your currency or redeem your ZIM Bonds. – The Quantum Financial System links transactions to your unique DNA and body rhythms, ensuring secure identification.
RATES AND HUMANITARIAN PROJECTS – Currency rates are uniform for everyone, though you may request the Dinar Contract Rate. –
The redemption rate for ZIM Bonds is contingent upon your personal Humanitarian Project. – If you don’t have a personal Humanitarian Project, you will receive a set default rate on your ZIM.
NO THIRD-PARTY EXCHANGES – No one can negotiate or exchange on your behalf. – If you’ve entrusted your currency or ZIM Bonds to someone else, retrieve them immediately. Failure to do so will result in the loss of your ability to exchange or redeem.
DOCUMENTATION FOR GIFTS – If you were gifted currency or ZIM Bonds, you must present a notarized and dated statement from the gifter, including names, addresses.
LEGAL CONSEQUENCES FOR MISUSE – Anyone refusing to return your assets or attempting to exchange on your behalf could face legal repercussions – The only exception to involving another person is if they accompany you to your appointment and co-sign the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).
NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT RISKS – Bringing others to your exchange is risky. If they breach your NDA, you will forfeit all funds.
IF YOU LACK PHYSICAL POSSESSION – If you cannot retrieve your currency or ZIM Bonds, schedule a redemption appointment and explain your situation to the representative for further instructions.
Economist: New steps by the Central Bank regarding dollar transactions
1/5/2025
Information / Baghdad..
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 implementing them.”
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 facing current restrictions, which will lead to 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.”
