AN ECONOMIC EXPERT REVEALS A ROADMAP FOR FREEING IRAQI FUNDS FROM THE GRIP OF THE US FEDERAL RESERVE.
(Mnt Goat: Why freeing Iraqi funds (about $100 billion) from the US Treasury is not so easy as one might think.)
On Friday, economist Nabil Al-Marousmi revealed several solutions and proposals to free Iraqi funds from the control of the US Federal Reserve.
Al-Marsoumi said in a post followed by “Al-Ahd News”: “The United States has effectively controlled Iraqi oil revenues since 2003 through its management via the Federal Reserve. The United Nations had provided legal protection for these funds under Resolution 1483, until it was terminated in 2011, following the implementation of Security Council Resolution 1956.”
He added that “the US president issued Executive Order 13303 to protect Iraqi funds, an order that remains in effect today despite some amendments.” He explained that “the objectives of US protection of Iraqi funds are to safeguard them from compensation claims by companies and individuals, as well as to prevent the seizure of Iraqi assets in cases filed since the 1990s.” He emphasized that “despite the expiration of many of the legal reasons that necessitated this financial arrangement, Iraq remains subject to strict financial oversight by Washington, which differs from the usual procedures in the international banking system.”
Al-Marsoumi pointed out that “most oil-producing countries deposit their money in the US Federal Reserve because oil is sold in dollars, but Iraq suffers from complete dependence on oil revenues without alternative resources,” explaining that “this means that the problem is not in depositing money with the US Federal Reserve, but rather in the restrictions imposed on the ability to dispose of it freely, unlike what other countries enjoy.”
He continued: “It is known that there are cases filed against Iraq by dozens or hundreds of companies that were harmed by Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, and representatives of Iraq did not attend the court sessions at the time to defend or reduce the compensations, and therefore the courts issued default judgments for very high amounts.”
He noted that “linking the issue of protecting Iraqi funds from prosecution to America gives Washington great influence over Baghdad, and resolving the crisis requires a political decision, as happened with Greece and Argentina, by employing a reputable law firm that is given full powers, whose task will be to accurately inventory the cases filed against Iraq and how much money has been awarded in judgments.”
Al-Marsoumi concluded that “Iraq is unable to resort to the courts because the judgments have become final, so a deal can be reached with the beneficiaries to drop the lawsuits in exchange for giving them a percentage of the money, which is called buying the debts, and most likely they will accept because they will get money instead of waiting and possibly not getting anything.”

THE IRANIAN FRAMEWORK: OUR ORDERS COME EXCLUSIVELY FROM IRAN, AND WE DO NOT RESPECT AMERICAN DIRECTIVES.
(Mnt Goat: note how they now call it the Iranian Framework and not the Coordination Framework….)
Uday Abdul-Hadi, a member of the Coordination Framework, confirmed on Sunday that the decision to support Nouri al-Maliki as the Framework’s candidate to form the next government is irrevocable.
He indicated that they are awaiting the results of today’s session before officially nominating him. Abdul-Hadi stated in a press interview, “The Coordination Framework’s meeting held yesterday evening was clear in its statement, affirming its support for the nomination of Nouri al-Maliki to form the next government, given that the Framework’s forces represent the largest bloc within the Iraqi parliament.”
He added, “The Coordination Framework is awaiting the results of today’s session dedicated to electing the President of the Republic. Once the position is decided, the winning candidate will be identified, and Nouri al-Maliki’s name will be officially put forward to form the next government within the specified constitutional timeframe.”
He pointed out that “all reports of disagreements within the Coordination Framework are inaccurate,” noting that “the Framework’s statement was clear in its commitment to national and historical responsibility and its refusal to allow any party to interfere in determining the selection process for the Prime Minister, as it is a purely sovereign decision.”
(Mnt Goat: Oh…. but Iran is not interfering only the US? )
Let’s ask the question many are afraid to ask out loud:
What happens if Nouri al-Maliki actually gets voted in as Prime Minister again?
I do not want to paint a picture of gloom and doom. In fact, I strongly believe this will NOT happen. Iraq already lived through Maliki’s first eight disastrous years, and the memory of that period is still fresh — politically, economically, and socially.
But understanding what is at stake explains why there is so much resistance to his return.
Maliki’s First Eight Years: A Reminder Iraq Doesn’t Need
What would happen if Maliki becomes prime minister again?
A return of Nouri al-Maliki as prime minister would likely trigger international isolation, economic pressure, potential sanctions, and a delay or collapse of any Iraqi dinar revaluation plans.
Q&A: People Also Ask
Q: Would the US accept Maliki as prime minister?
A: All evidence suggests strong American opposition and potential economic retaliation.
Q: Could the Iraqi dinar collapse under Maliki?
A: Reports indicate the dinar would be vulnerable to severe pressure under sanctions or dollar restrictions.
Q: Is America still controlling Iraq’s oil money?
A: Yes. Oil revenues continue to pass through US-controlled financial systems.
Q: Does Maliki’s return affect the RV?
A: Yes. A Maliki premiership would likely block or delay any RV.
What will happen if Maliki should get voted in as the prime minister?
I don’t want to paint a picture of gloom and doom because I do not believe this will happen as Maliki will not get in again as prime minister. His first eight years were disastrous, as we all know. Please go read the following articles and this will help you understand what Iraq is in for should/if Maliki regain power:
“ADHERENCE” TO MALIKI AND AMERICAN REJECTION… WARNING OF SANCTIONS AND ECONOMIC REPERCUSSIONS AMID INTERNATIONAL ISOLATION”
International isolation again is the last thing Iraq needs just when they were on the verge of completing the necessary reforms to move to the international arena.
“AMONG THEM THE COLLAPSE OF THE DINAR… REPORT: THREE ECONOMIC CARDS IN TRUMP’S HAND TO “UNDERMINE” MALIKI’S RULE”
A press report published by the Al-Sharq Economic website on Thursday, January 29, 2026, identified what it described as “economic pressure points” that US President Donald Trump could use to “undermine” Nouri al-Maliki’s rule, should he assume the premiership”. Does this sound like the US would approve the RV anytime soon if Maliki gets back in the premiership?
“LEARN ABOUT THE REASONS FOR AMERICA’S “GUARDIANSHIP” OVER IRAQ… AND THE CONSEQUENCES THAT AWAIT US IF THIS PROTECTION IS LIFTED.”
Despite more than 23 years having passed since the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime, Iraqi oil revenues remain channeled through the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. This arrangement is viewed within Iraq as a complex mix of legal “protection” and financial “guardianship” that grants Washington significant influence over economic decision-making in Baghdad. Although most of the legal foundations that originally established this mechanism have expired, the United States effectively still controls the flow of dollars that fund the Iraqi budget through a combination of executive orders, protectionist measures, and strict oversight of dollar flows into and out of Iraq. With Trump’s threats to cut “aid” to Iraq—which is practically understood as a threat to cut off its dollar supply— read the article to examine the implications.
“ADHERENCE” TO MALIKI AND AMERICAN REJECTION… WARNING OF SANCTIONS AND ECONOMIC REPERCUSSIONS AMID INTERNATIONAL ISOLATION”
The Coordination Framework’s “adherence” to its candidate for Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki, has sparked various reactions and warnings of economic repercussions that could affect the future of the Iraqi dinar, in addition to the possibility of international isolation, in light of the declared American rejection of al-Maliki assuming the presidency of the next Iraqi government.
In this context, Salam al-Zubaidi, spokesman for the “Victory” coalition, said in a statement to the “Al-Jabal” platform that “there is a clear divergence of views within the forces of the Coordination Framework regarding proceeding with the nomination of Nouri al-Maliki for the premiership, and this divergence came in the wake of American objections and concerns related to the possibility of imposing American sanctions that may negatively affect the political and economic situation in Iraq.”
Al-Zubaidi explained that “some parties within the coordination framework see the need to take international repercussions into account, in order to avoid any measures that may harm the supreme national interest, while other parties adhere to their political options as a purely internal matter.”
Al-Zubaidi added, “At the same time, we affirm our categorical rejection of any external interference in the government formation process, whether from regional or international parties. The decision to choose the prime minister must be purely Iraqi and stem from the will of the political forces and the constitutional process only.”
The spokesman for the “Victory Coalition” stressed that “preserving the sovereignty of national decision-making and prioritizing the interest of Iraq above any other considerations should be the basis at this sensitive stage, and therefore there should be a responsible internal dialogue that leads to a consensus that serves the stability of the country and its future.”
In this context: Wilson, addressing Maliki: You are insulting Trump… Try your luck and see what happens.
In contrast, political researcher Mohammed Ali Al-Hakim warned of what he described as “the danger of insisting on proceeding with the nomination of Al-Maliki.”
Al-Hakim told Al-Jabal platform, “We must be wary of the danger of some parties within the coordination framework insisting on nominating Nouri al-Maliki for the premiership, given the declared American rejection of this nomination. This path may open the door to extremely dangerous political, economic, and security repercussions for Iraq.”
Al-Hakim explained that “ignoring the American position cannot be treated as a marginal detail, and the United States is still an influential player in the international scene, and it has real tools of pressure that it may use if it feels that its interests are threatened or that the next Iraqi government will move towards confrontational policies.”
He added that “the most dangerous thing that Iraq may face if it insists on this nomination is the possibility of imposing economic or financial sanctions, or restricting international banking transactions, which will directly affect the exchange rate of the dinar, investment activity, and the government’s ability to meet its internal and external obligations.”
He continued, “Iraq is still recovering from the effects of many years of isolation, sanctions, and conflicts, and any return to a state of tension with the international community would be a serious setback to the path of openness achieved in recent years.We must be careful that international isolation does not begin with big decisions, but rather with accumulated political positions that weaken the confidence of international partners in the Iraqi state.”
Al-Hakim stressed that “rejecting foreign interference in the formation of governments is a legitimate sovereign principle, but it does not mean ignoring the international balance of power or jumping over the complex political and economic reality that Iraq is experiencing. The logic of wisdom and national consensus must prevail, and a figure capable of managing the stage with the least amount of external clashes must be chosen.”
The political analyst concluded his remarks by saying, “The current stage requires responsible decisions that put Iraq’s higher interest above partisan and narrow calculations, and we must be wary that insisting on controversial options may push the country into new crises, the price of which will be paid first and foremost by the Iraqi citizen.”
