🇮🇶 FRANK26 & OMAR Intel: Sudani Steps Aside, Trump’s Role & Iraq’s Currency Sovereignty Explained

  Major developments are unfolding behind the scenes in Iraq, and according to Frank26, these events may be directly connected to the final stages of Iraq’s monetary reform.

Rumors, confirmations, and strategic messaging are converging around one central theme:
👉 Currency sovereignty and control of Iraq’s future.

Let’s break this down clearly and calmly.

⚠️ Frank26 Disclaimer

This is my opinion (IMO).
Interpretations are based on experience, patterns, and current information.
Always use discernment and consult professionals for financial decisions.

🔴 Did Prime Minister Sudani Step Aside?

Frank26 addressed widespread confusion directly:

“A lot of you came to me and said Sudani stepped down.”

According to Frank26:

  • It is possible Sudani is no longer acting Prime Minister

  • It is possible he temporarily stepped aside

  • The full results are not yet confirmed

However, this does not mean chaos.

🏦 Who Is Really in Charge of Iraq’s Monetary Reform?

Frank26’s opinion is direct and controversial:

“Who did I tell you is in charge of the monetary reform? IMO — Donald Trump.”

Key points:

  • Monetary reform is not controlled solely by Iraqi politicians

  • Global compliance and cooperation are required

  • Leaders who do not cooperate get removed or sidelined

“If you’re not getting along, you’re going to get lost. I don’t care who you are.”

🧩 Did Sudani “Blow It”?

Frank26 suggests:

  • Trump may have received a negative report from Savaya

  • Sudani may have failed to meet expectations

  • This could explain why Sudani stepped aside

But there’s another possibility:

“It’s possible Donald Trump is going to tell him, ‘Get your ass back in there.’”

In other words — Sudani may not be finished yet.

❌ Maliki? Not an Option

Frank26 was clear:

  • Maliki is NOT returning

  • That chapter is closed

Instead, attention shifts to a new figure.

👤 Who Is al-Awadi & Why He Matters

Frank26 highlights al-Awadi as a key name to watch:

  • Sudani’s right-hand man

  • Trusted insider

  • Potential interim authority

Why al-Awadi?

  • May listen to Trump

  • May play fair with the currency

  • May complete payments and reforms

This is about execution, not politics.

📺 Omar’s Confirmation: Sudani’s TV Appearance

Omar added critical confirmation from Sudani’s own words on television.

Sudani discussed:

  • A new national holiday

  • The United Nations leaving Iraq

  • Iraq’s independence on the world stage

But one topic stood above all else.

💱 “Our Currency Is Sovereign” – A Massive Signal

Omar emphasized something crucial:

“He spent a great amount of time talking about the sovereignty of our currency  — not the sovereignty of our nation.”

Why is this critical?

🔍 Currency Sovereignty Means:

  • Control over exchange rate

  • Freedom from external manipulation

  • Readiness for international valuation

  • Completion of monetary reform

“He kept saying our currency is sovereign… I can’t express how important that is.”

This is RV language — not political rhetoric.

🌍 United Nations Leaving Iraq: Why This Matters

If confirmed, the UN exit suggests:

  • Iraq is no longer considered a managed or supervised state

  • Financial independence is restored

  • Currency sovereignty becomes enforceable

Historically, no nation can RV under UN financial control.

🧠 Strategic Interpretation (Frank26 Style)

When leaders:

  • Step aside quietly

  • Speak openly about currency sovereignty

  • Remove international oversight

  • Emphasize reform over politics

➡️ They are preparing the financial system, not elections.

❓ Q&A – Featured Snippets 

❓ Did Sudani resign as Prime Minister of Iraq?

It is possible Sudani temporarily stepped aside, but full confirmation is still pending.

❓ Who controls Iraq’s monetary reform?

According to Frank26, global leadership — including Trump — plays a decisive role.

❓ Why is “currency sovereignty” important?

It signals Iraq’s readiness to control and revalue its currency internationally.

❓ Is Maliki returning to power?

No. Frank26 clearly dismisses this possibility.

❓ Who is al-Awadi?

Sudani’s right-hand man and a potential key figure in completing monetary reform.

🔮 Final Thoughts

This is not confusion — it is transition.

Political reshuffling often occurs:

  • Before

  • During

  • Or immediately after

major monetary changes.

When leaders talk less about politics and more about currency sovereignty, something big is approaching.

Watch the money — not the noise.

Frank26 

A lot of you came to me and said Sudani stepped down...Who did I tell you is in charge of the  monetary reform?  IMO Donald Trump.  If you're not getting along, you're going to get lost.  I don't care who you are.

  It is possible Sudani may not be the Prime Minister...It is possible he has stepped aside.  We don't know the full results yet.  It's possible Donald Trump is going to tell him, 'Get your ass back in there.' I don't know. 

 But we do know Sudani decided to say, 'I'm going to step aside.'  Apparently Trump got a bad report from Savaya...IMO Sudani blew it...Maliki?  Of course not...The reason I suggest to you al-Awadi is because al-Awadi is Sudani's right hand man...This guy maybe will listen to Trump, play fair with your currency and pay up.

Omar 

 Sudani on TV...He mentioned many things like celebrating a national holiday...talking about the United Nations leaving Iraq. 

 He spent such a great amount of time talking to us about the sovereignty of our currency, not the sovereignty of our nation, we know that.  He kept saying our currency is sovereign...I can't express how important that is.

HARRIS: AMERICA WILL TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION TO DISMANTLE PRO-IRANIAN “TERRORIST” MILITIAS

HARRIS: AMERICA WILL TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION TO DISMANTLE PRO-IRANIAN “TERRORIST” MILITIAS

The acting head of the US mission in Iraq, Joshua Harris, confirmed on Friday that Washington is moving towards taking immediate action to dismantle what he described as “Iranian-backed terrorist militias,” stressing that the inclusion of “militias” in the new government is contrary to Iraqi-American relations.

A statement from the US Embassy in Iraq, received by Shafaq News Agency, said that Harris met with the leader of the Wisdom Movement, Ammar al-Hakim, to consult on common interests in protecting Iraqi sovereignty, defeating terrorism, enhancing regional security, and strengthening economic relations that benefit both Americans and Iraqis.

Harris reiterated that “the inclusion of pro-Iranian terrorist militias in the Iraqi government, in any capacity, is incompatible with a strong US-Iraqi partnership.” He added, “The United States will continue to emphasize clearly the need for immediate action to dismantle terrorist militias with foreign agendas that threaten Iraq’s sovereignty, stability, and economy.”

(To me it can’t get any clearer! 😊 What is it that you don’t understand?)

COFFEE WITH MARKZ: Bonds, Global Reset Signals, Silver Explosion & Trump at Davos

🌍 Iraq Dinar RV Update: Bonds, Global Reset Signals, Silver Explosion & Trump at Davos

The global financial landscape continues to shift rapidly, and today’s MarkZ update brings critical insights into the Iraqi Dinar revaluation (RV), bond activity, global reset indicators, precious metals, and high-level geopolitical movements.

With a 3-day U.S. federal holiday weekend (Martin Luther King Jr. Day), rising tensions in Iran, economic restructuring in Iraq, and President Trump preparing for Davos, many believe we are approaching a pivotal moment.

Let’s break it all down.

⚠️ MarkZ Disclaimer

Please consider everything on this call as my opinion.
People who take notes do not catch everything, and it’s best to watch the video to get the full context.
Always consult a professional before making any financial decisions.

🏦 Bond Market Update: Europe in Focus

MarkZ confirmed that a key bond-related meeting is scheduled in Zurich, Europe, taking place within hours of the update.

Key Highlights:

This aligns with long-standing expectations that Europe may play a critical role in the final stages of the RV process.

🇮🇶 Iraq Dinar Update: Currency Pressure & Credit Rating Moves

Recent reports indicate the U.S. dollar is rising again in Iraq, causing the dinar to temporarily weaken as citizens continue using dollars for daily transactions.

However, this is not necessarily negative.

Major Development:

The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq met with Oliver Wyman, a global consulting firm, to discuss:

  • Improving Iraq’s financial sovereignty

  • Enhancing Iraq’s credit rating

  • Preparing for currency value adjustments

🔍 Why this matters:
A higher credit rating is a prerequisite for a stronger currency. These actions strongly suggest Iraq is preparing for a monetary shift, not abandoning it.

🗳️ Political Smoke Screens? Maliki, Sudani & Timing Concerns

Some members expressed concern that recent political events in Iraq may be intentional distractions.

Common sentiment:

  • “Some days it feels like Iraq doesn’t want to RV”

  • Others believe political noise is a smokescreen

  • Mnt Goat still believes Iraq will delete the three zeros this month

Historically, major currency moves often happen during confusion, not clarity.

🌎 Global Reset Watch: Iran, Venezuela & Economic Shockwaves

MarkZ highlighted a significant concern:

  • 🇮🇷 Iran’s currency crashed this week

  • 🌍 Venezuela and Iran developments support a global reset narrative

  • ⚠️ These events may have slowed timing, but not stopped progress

“I believe we are still on the precipice of our blessing.”

🇺🇸 IRS Rumors & Structural Changes

There are growing rumors circulating that:

  • IRS transactions may be paused for 90 days

  • Internal reviews for fraud

  • Potential restructuring into an “External Revenue Service”

  • Speculation of major announcements in about 6 days

⚠️ MarkZ stresses:

“Lots of rumors… very difficult to know what is reality and what is not.”

Best strategy right now?
👉 Sit back and watch.

🇻🇳 Vietnamese Dong Update

Good news on the Dong front:

  • Bankers are actively training

  • Financial institutions are organizing exchange protocols

  • Strong expectations that Vietnamese Dong and Iraqi Dinar may go simultaneously

This supports long-standing theories of basket currency revaluation.

🥈 Silver Shock: Explosive Price Rumors

Silver is heating up fast:

  • Spot price: $88

  • Asking price: $91

  • Rumors of $300+ silver

  • Reports that HSBC must exit silver positions by Jan 31

  • Speculation of prices reaching $347

If even partially true, silver could signal major systemic stress.

⚖️ Supreme Court, Tariffs & RV Switches

There was anticipation of a Supreme Court ruling on tariffs, which did not happen today.

Some believe:

  • If tariffs are overturned

  • It could force economic levers

  • Possibly triggering RV mechanisms

Still speculative — but worth watching.

🌐 Trump, Davos & the World Economic Forum

President Donald Trump is expected to speak at Davos on the 19th.

Why this matters:

  • Davos = global economic power hub

  • Major announcements often follow

  • Trump addressing “globalists” is highly symbolic

“What’s it going to look like? I can’t wait to see it.”

💱 Redemption & Exchange Preparation Tips

If exchanges begin:

  • Bring all currency

  • Bring purchase receipts

  • Bring IDs and documents

  • Treat it like opening new bank accounts

A detailed checklist is still expected.

❓ Q&A – Featured Snippets Ready

❓ Is Iraq preparing to revalue the dinar?

Yes. Meetings with global firms, credit rating discussions, and currency reform language strongly suggest preparation.

❓ Are bonds active right now?

Yes. Meetings are occurring, especially in Europe, though activity remains discreet.

❓ Will the Iraqi dinar and Vietnamese dong revalue together?

Many banking sources believe they will move at the same time.

❓ Is silver about to skyrocket?

Silver supply pressure, institutional exits, and pricing discrepancies suggest major volatility ahead.

❓ Should we trust all RV rumors?

No. Always filter rumors carefully and wait for verified actions.

🔮 Final Thoughts

Despite noise, delays, and global instability, the underlying signals remain strong. Financial systems worldwide are under pressure, and change is inevitable.

The best is yet to come.

MNT GOAT: CBI Multi-Currency Trading & Oil Price Forecast 2026

Iraq Dinar Update: CBI Multi-Currency Trading & Oil Price Forecast 2026

Iraq’s economy continues to make strategic moves toward financial modernization. Recent developments highlight multi-currency trading conditions, ongoing oil price forecasts, and implications for the Iraqi Dinar (IQD).

Understanding these updates is key for anyone tracking the potential revaluation (RV) and the health of Iraq’s monetary system.

🏦 CBI Approves Multi-Currency Trading

The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has set new conditions for Iraqi banks wishing to trade in currencies other than the US dollar, such as the Euro and Chinese Yuan.

Key Conditions for Banks:

  • Minimum capital requirement: 300 billion Iraqi dinars

  • Compliance with international trade regulations

  • Integration with existing CBI oversight and payment systems

This marks another step away from past UN sanctions-era limitations, allowing Iraq to re-enter global trade markets more flexibly.

Although banks can technically trade in foreign currencies since January 2023, international adoption remains limited due to the dinar’s low valuation and geopolitical concerns, particularly Iranian influence.

🛢 Iraq’s 2026 Oil Price Forecast

Oil remains Iraq’s primary revenue source, making its price a major factor for economic stability.

2026 Budget Estimates:

  • Price per barrel: $55–$62 (Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh)

  • Influencing factors:

    • Geopolitical tensions

    • Global energy demand

    • OPEC+ production policies

    • Renewable energy trends

External Considerations:

  • Julie Green prophecy predicts potential disruptions in Saudi oil, possibly raising global oil prices.

  • Standard & Poor’s reports a potential average Brent crude price of $58, indicating a short-term decline from 2025.

Iraq’s budget range demonstrates flexible fiscal planning to handle volatility while maintaining monetary reserves and currency stability.

💡 Featured Snippet 

The Central Bank of Iraq has set conditions for banks to trade in multiple currencies, signaling a move away from dollar dependence.

 

Coupled with a projected oil price range of $55–$62 in 2026, these developments strengthen Iraq’s economic framework and influence the stability of the Iraqi Dinar.

📊 Key Factors Affecting Dinar Revaluation

  1. Stable Economy & Low Inflation – Essential for confidence in the IQD.

  2. Political Stability – Completion of elections and government cooperation.

  3. High Monetary Reserves – Supports currency value and budget planning.

  4. Sanctions-Free Trade – Reduces artificial restrictions and enhances liquidity.

  5. Oil Price Stability – $55–$62 range helps maintain fiscal health.

  6. Security & Reduced Militia Influence – Critical for investor confidence.

  7. Anti-Corruption Measures – Ensures funds are used effectively.

While Iraq is moving in the right direction, the RV depends on all these conditions aligning, not just rumors or speculation.

❓ Q&A: Understanding the Latest Iraq Dinar & Economy Updates

Q: Can Iraqi banks trade currencies besides the dollar?
Yes, but only if they meet CBI requirements, including a minimum capital of 300 billion IQD.

Q: Is the oil price in Iraq’s 2026 budget fixed?
No, it is projected between $55–$62 per barrel, subject to geopolitical and market factors.

Q: Does this mean the Dinar is revalued?
Not yet. These steps strengthen  economic stability, which is a prerequisite for a potential RV.

Q: How does Saudi oil affect Iraq’s currency?
Fluctuations in regional oil supply can influence Iraq’s reserves, fiscal balance, and Dinar stability.

🔹 Conclusion

Iraq is actively modernizing its financial system:

  • Banks can now trade in multiple currencies, moving away from US dollar dependency.

  • Oil price projections are realistic, reflecting geopolitical and market volatility.

  • Economic and political stability remain crucial for the Dinar’s potential RV.

The RV is not immediate. Understanding Iraq’s policy measures, customs reforms, and budget planninggives a clear picture of how and when the IQD could strengthen.

MNT GOAT

Let’s move on to other important news….

So, we all knew this next news was coming and I talked about this just recently. Gee- whiz…. this is like déjà vu! See article titled “AN ECONOMIC OBSERVATORY REVEALS THE CENTRAL BANK OF IRAQ’S CONDITIONS FOR BANKS TO TRADE IN CURRENCIES OTHER THAN THE DOLLAR.”  Here it is in this article. Another step in the breakaway from sanctioned times, this time global payment for trade, just as I told you was coming and had to come. Am I a mind reader or what? Lo..lo..lol..lol.. 😊

 But this is not he end yet and there is still much work to be done. Yes, Iraq must get out of this 1991 and 2003 UN sanction-mode mindset and get back to regular international trade processes. We are now witnessing yet another step forward and this is a good one.

Remember what we witnessed last year at about this time with the correspondent banks and the ending of those nasty corrupt currency auctions. Now to be fair about this announcement Iraq has been allowed to trade in any currency since January 2023 just so you know. But how could it since nobody wants the dinar at 1/6 of a penny. What the hell are they going to do with the dinar it if they take on payment? It’s still not yet traded openly through the international markets and it’s stigma still exists as long as Iran is still involved in Iraqi affairs. We can see the next step for the dinar and this article really hits it home….. 😊

I will quote from the article “An economic observatory announced the new conditions set by the Central Bank of Iraq for banks wishing to trade foreign currencies other than the dollar, such as the European “Euro” and the Chinese “Yuan,” noting that among these conditions is that “the bank’s capital must be 300 billion Iraqi dinars.”

________________________________

What else in in the news?

Before addressing the topic of the price of oil and its future impact on Iraq, I strongly encourage everyone to go listen to one of today’s prophecies by Julie Green titled “TIME TO BRING ALL FAKE GOVERNMENTS TO THEIR KNEES” in the prophecy section of today’s Newsletter. The timing of the prophecy could not be any better. Yes, God is amazing!

I want everyone to know that when they talk about a “deficit” for Iraq I want to clarify what this actually means:

First, if means that there is probably a drop in oil prices since most of their revenues now come from oil thus the CBI will have to use the monetary reserves to pay the bills, thus a drop in the reserves. This a bad thing for the RV is it last long enough. We all know how important these reserves are to back up the economy and the rate of the dinar. Since the dinar is now being “artificially suppressed”, I am of course talking about getting the true nominal value of the dinar out to public trading. This is the dinar rate I am talking about not the current ‘offical’ rate. 

Second, if Iraq has a constant drop in the reserves over a long period, it could lead to a situation like during Covid, but this probably will not happen as they are adjusting the 2026 budget to the lower projected price of oil. This may mean holding off on many infrastructure projects unless investment money trickles in. Of course, a reinstatement of the dinar might help…. See article titled “GOVERNMENT ADVISOR: THE PRICE OF A BARREL OF OIL IN THE 2026 BUDGET IS BETWEEN $55 AND $62.”

The Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, predicted on Monday that the average price of a barrel of oil in the 2026 budget would range between $55 and $62, noting that these estimates are subject to change due to several factors.

He pointed out that “these estimates remain subject to change depending on a number of influencing factors, most notably developments in geopolitical conflicts, changes in the pace of global energy demand growth, production policy decisions within the framework of ‘OPEC+’, as well as the accelerating shift towards renewable energy and climate policies.”

Let me tell you another influencing factor in the price of oil hardly anyone is talking about. How will the most recent prophecy by Julie Green stating that Saudi Arabia’s oil in the middle east will “run dry”. This will certainly drive the price of oil sky high! This may be the driving force to bring the price of oil up again. Is this in part why God is doing this to Saudi oil? Will this happen in 2026?

Then in the article titled “AN AMERICAN COMPANY RAISES THE ALARM ABOUT THE ACCOUNT DEFICIT AND HARD CURRENCY SHORTAGE IN IRAQ.”

Standard & Poor’s Global Energy reported on Saturday that the decline in oil prices will affect Iraq’s hard currency reserves, indicating the possibility of a large current account deficit. The company predicted in a report seen by Shafaq News Agency that the average price of a barrel of oil (Brent crude) will reach $58 in 2026, a decrease of 16% from the expected averages for 2025.

I talked about this drop in oil prices as it was coming. Iraq had plenty of chances to get it right can they get it right now. With the news from this article above you can see why Iraq has decided to budget at a range between $55 and $62. But remember that their budget is flexible and this can change either way. Politics and corruption got in the way of common sense for Iraq too and now they are paying the price. They should have followed through with the RV more than a decade ago. Governments need to go back to good-ole common sense and stop all the racism, sexism and phobias that hinder common sense approaches. Yes, it is all a game to bring our nations down. They using these narratives and its getting us nowhere fast.

So, I consider this range between $55 and $62 good news for Iraq and shows the ability to conduct responsible budget planning. But I don’t believe oil will remain that low as I see many other factors on the horizon affecting it upwards.

Please see article titled “SALEH’S APPEARANCE: HIGH OIL PRICES MAY PROTECT THE CURRENCY DESPITE GEOPOLITICAL TENSIONS”.  The Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, said on Monday that the impact of geopolitical tensions on the exchange rate depends on several factors, and is not related to price increases alone.

What is always a good environment for the RV to happen?

  • A stable economy, low inflation
  • A secure Iraq (not with Iranian militia present)
  • High price of oil (more like a stable price of oil around $70)
  • High monetary reserves and ability to maintain them (very important)
  • No sanctions
  • Political stability (a government in place that works together to meet national goals) Iraq must finish the election cycle and so who is going to lead Iraq? Getting the Oil and Gas Law passed.
  • No corruption

I will let you decide how Iraq fairs in these criteria. Is Iraq now ready for an RV? What do we see that must change?

Warnings of escalating public anger following tax and customs duty hikes

  Warnings of escalating public anger following tax and customs duty hikes

 Economic expert Ahmed Al-Tamimi warned on Monday (January 12, 2026) of the possibility of escalating public anger in Iraq due to the government's decisions to raise taxes and customs duties, coinciding with rising prices of basic commodities in the markets, which increases the pressure on the living standards of citizens, especially those with limited income.

Al-Tamimi told Baghdad Today: “Any increase in taxes or customs duties, if not accompanied by clear social protection measures, will directly affect the prices of goods and services, because the merchant and the importer will pass on the cost of the increase to the end consumer, while the Iraqi citizen is already suffering from the erosion of income as a result of inflation and the high cost of living.”

He added that “the Iraqi public is sensitive to economic decisions that affect livelihoods, and such measures could turn from an economic issue into a social and perhaps political crisis if they are not managed wisely and transparently.”

He pointed out that “raising customs duties may be financially justified to support non-oil revenues, but the current timing is not appropriate due to weak market control and the absence of local alternatives capable of meeting market needs, which leads to higher prices without a tangible improvement in services or income levels.”

Al-Tamimi stressed that “continuing this approach without societal dialogue or governmental clarification will increase public discontent, especially with citizens feeling that the economic burdens fall on them alone, in light of the absence of real reforms to combat waste and corruption and improve financial management.”

For his part, economist Ziad Al-Hashemi believes that implementing the new customs system and imposing customs duties, along with regulating remittances through a unified governance system, represents a correct and initial step in the right direction, but he stressed that the problem lies in the implementation mechanism and the state’s management of the transition process from the previous situation to the new system.

Al-Hashemi explained in a statement to “Baghdad Today” on Sunday (January 11, 2026) that “the rapid and comprehensive application of the system has led to confusion in Iraqi markets and has directly affected citizens,” noting the need for “the government to reassess the implementation mechanism, and perhaps introduce amendments to mitigate the damage caused by the speed of implementation.”

He added that "the solution lies in adopting a phased implementation mechanism, starting with focusing on specific priority goods, reviewing the customs duties imposed on them, and monitoring the repercussions of this phase before moving on to other goods, so that the process is carried out in several stages that allow for absorbing the change and reducing the damage to society, markets and traders, in addition to its impact on supply and demand."

Al-Hashemi stressed that “the gradual approach helps the government achieve its goals in controlling remittances and commercial operations and achieving non-oil revenues that support public finances, while at the same time giving traders an opportunity to rearrange their situations and the volume of goods, and sparing the consumer the shock of a sudden rise in prices in the markets.”

He concluded by saying that "this well-thought-out approach will ensure a smooth transition to the new system," expressing his hope that the government will adopt this path during the next phase to ensure market stability and protect the citizen.  link
