BREAKING: Iraq just CONFIRMED its integrating directly with multiple U.S. banks

 BREAKING:

Iraq just CONFIRMED its integrating directly with multiple U.S. banks as global correspondent hubs.

This is the final connection before Forex activation.

Mazhar Salih, advisor to Iraq’s Prime Minister, just said:

“Linking with U.S. banks provides financing, credit lines, digital banking, and international standards…”

Translation:

Iraq’s banking system just locked into the global financial grid.

No more isolation. No more lag.

They’re calling it:

•“Integration with the international banking system”

•“Rapid, open, and direct coordination”

•“Raising national banks to the global level”

That’s Forex language.

That’s SWIFT + ISO 20022 compliance.

That’s a pre-launch checklist being CLOSED OUT.

This opens the door for:

•Full currency normalization

•International clearing and settlement

•Direct dollar trade routes

•Digital rails to handle massive cross-border flows

They’re flipping the switch behind the curtain.

The public move comes next.

Based on what we now know:

Iraq is 0–30 days out from full Forex readiness.

The budget tables are locked. Execution looks synced to something bigger.

The U.S. banking ties are live.

The CBI HQ ribbon could drop any moment.

The signal has never been clearer.

If you’ve been waiting… this is it.

The system’s wiring is done.

The volume is rising.

And the liquidity floodgate is almost wide open.

Iraq is ready. Are you?

FIREFLY: he was brought back to control the rate!! @DINARREVALUATION #iraqidinar #iraq

IRAQ INVITES MIKE WALTZ TO VISIT BAGHDAD AND SEE THE POSITIVE DEVELOPMENTS ON THE GROUND.

Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein invited US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz on Tuesday to visit Iraq and observe the “developments” taking place in the country on the security, political, and economic levels. The Foreign Minister meets with the US National Security Advisor at the White House to discuss regional issues and bilateral relations.

On Tuesday, April 29, 2025, at the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz received Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Fuad Hussein. The meeting was attended by Eric Trager, Middle East and North Africa Policy Officer, and Matt Vilansky, Director of the Iraq and Syria Office.

At the beginning of the meeting, Mr. Waltz welcomed the Minister’s visit, stressing the importance of continuing dialogue and coordination between the two countries.

For his part, Minister Fuad Hussein gave a detailed presentation on his visit to Washington, outlining its objectives and the outcomes of the bilateral meetings he held with senior US officials.

The two sides discussed the security situation in the region and current challenges. They also discussed the progress of the ongoing negotiations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, emphasizing the importance of reaching agreed-upon outcomes consistent with President Donald Trump’s policy of resolving regional issues through peaceful means.

On another topic, the meeting addressed the issue of oil exports from the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and the outstanding issues between oil companies on the one hand, and the regional and federal governments on the other.

The two sides also reviewed developments in Syria and ways to support regional stability.

At the conclusion of the meeting, Minister Fuad Hussein affirmed that the security situation in Iraq is stable and secure, noting that Baghdad is preparing to receive Arab leaders on May 17th during the Arab Summit.

He also invited the US National Security Advisor and his team to visit Iraq and observe the positive developments the country is witnessing on the security, political, and economic levels.

THE IRAQI ECONOMY IS UNDER THREAT. AN EXPERT WARNS OF THE REPERCUSSIONS OF RELYING ON OIL

THE IRAQI ECONOMY IS UNDER THREAT. AN EXPERT WARNS OF THE REPERCUSSIONS OF RELYING ON OIL

Economic expert Faleh Al-Zaidi warned on Tuesday of the repercussions of Iraq’s continued reliance on oil revenues without taking actual steps to diversify the national economy, stressing that this approach makes the country vulnerable to fluctuations in global markets.

Al-Zaidi explained in a statement to the Al-Maalouma Agency that “oil revenues are by nature subject to fluctuations in the international market and are beyond the direct control of the Iraqi government,” noting that “global political factors often affect oil prices.” 

He pointed out that “the trade policies pursued by former US President Donald Trump, including the imposition of tariffs, contributed to an economic recession that affected several countries, including Iraq.”

Al-Zaidi added that “the success of the ongoing negotiations between the US and Iran will have a positive impact on the region, but it has two contrasting effects on Iraq. On the one hand, lifting sanctions on Iran may contribute to increasing oil production and improving gas supplies, which would address some of the electricity shortage problems in Iraq. On the other hand, the increase in oil supply may lead to lower prices.”
He stressed the need to “diversify the Iraqi economy and develop alternative sources of income,” warning that “continued reliance on oil will force the country to resort to borrowing if global prices decline.”

It’s worth noting that Iraqi oil prices fell today in conjunction with a decline in global oil prices as investors lowered their expectations for demand growth due to the ongoing trade war. Iraq has witnessed significant volatility in oil prices since Trump imposed tariffs on most countries around the world, causing a global economic recession.
