The Iraqi parliament held a brief session and adjourned until further notice
The Iraqi parliament held a brief session and adjourned until further notice.
The Iraqi parliament held a session on Monday that lasted only a few minutes before deciding to adjourn it until further notice, after three consecutive sessions were disrupted.
The Council’s Media Department stated in a statement that the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hebat Al-Halbousi, opened the proceedings of session number (7) within the sixth electoral cycle, the first legislative year, the first legislative term.
MPs Hassanein Al-Khafaji, Jaafar Shua’il Al-Zamili, and Ali Anhir Al-Sarai took the constitutional oath during the session as members of the House of Representatives.
The council also voted to form a committee to amend the internal regulations of the parliamentary committees, headed by the First Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Adnan Faihan Al-Dulaimi, and decided to adjourn the session, which lasted about 25 minutes, until further notice. LINK
Iraqi Dinar in North Africa: Sandy Ingram Explains Global Acceptance and Lessons from Zimbabwe
Why the Iraqi Dinar Isn’t Widely Accepted Globally
Sandy Ingram explains what she’s learning from North Africa about the Iraqi Dinar (IQD):
“The Iraqi Dinar is an official currency only for Iraq and the Kurdistan region. Few other countries will accept the IQD.”
Key points:
Iran does not officially accept the IQD
Afghanistan, Somalia, and Egypt do not accept it
Until the Central Bank of Iraq releases the currency to float or connects it to forex markets, international banks will not process it
💡 Insight: The IQD is currently local in use, and global transactions remain limited.
Historical Comparison: Zimbabwe
Sandy draws a comparison:
“Who else had this same scenario? Zimbabwe.”
Zimbabwe faced a similar issue: their local currency wasn’t accepted globally
Zimbabwe’s new currency is now backed by gold
While it’s not fully evolved, measurable progress has been made
This suggests a potential roadmap for Iraq.
What This Means for the Iraqi Dinar
Iraq’s currency is not “out the door”
Strategic reforms and adjustments can quickly improve acceptance
Global adoption depends on policy, backing, and market integration
Sandy is optimistic:
“There can be changes that turn it all around in a short period of time.”
Featured Snippet: Why Isn’t the Iraqi Dinar Accepted Internationally?
Answer:
The Iraqi Dinar is officially recognized only in Iraq and the Kurdistan region. Countries like Iran, Afghanistan, Somalia, and Egypt do not accept it. Until the Central Bank of Iraq allows the IQD to float or connects it to forex markets, international banks will not handle it.
Featured Snippet: What Can Iraq Learn from Zimbabwe’s Currency Reform?
Answer:
Zimbabwe faced similar challenges with limited global acceptance. By backing their new currency with gold and implementing reforms, Zimbabwe improved trust and usability. Iraq could potentially follow a similar path to enhance the IQD’s global acceptance.
Q&A: Understanding the IQD Global Status
❓ Is the Iraqi Dinar worthless outside Iraq?
No. It is limited in acceptance, but reforms and market integration could expand its usability.
❓ Why doesn’t Iran accept the IQD?
Iran has its own economic priorities and does not officially recognize the IQD in trade.
❓ Can this change quickly?
According to Sandy Ingram, yes, especially if Iraq implements strategic reforms similar to Zimbabwe.
❓ What role does the Central Bank of Iraq play?
The CBI must allow the IQD to float or connect it to forex markets for banks to begin global transactions.
❓ Are there precedents for quick currency evolution?
Yes, Zimbabwe’s gold-backed currency shows measurable progress is possible in a short period.
Key Takeaways
The IQD is currently local, used only in Iraq and Kurdistan.
International banks will not touch it until CBI reforms happen.
Zimbabwe provides a blueprint for turning a struggling currency into a functioning, globally accepted one.
Strategic policy and market connection can make the IQD viable outside Iraq.
💡 Sandy’s perspective gives investors hope and context, showing that global adoption is possible with proper reform.

This is what I'm learning in North Africa about the Iraqi dinar...The Iraqi dinar is an official currency only for Iraq and the Kurdistan region....Few other countries will accept the IQD...Iran does not officially accept the IQD either. The IQD is not accepted in Afghanistan, Somalia, and obviously not here in Egypt...Until the Central Bank of Iraq releases the currency to float or to be connected to the forex markets, banks will not touch it.
But wait, who else had this same scenario, the same problem? Zimbabwe. There has been measurable progress with the Zig, Zimbabwe's new currency has is backed by gold. It's not a total complete evolvement yet, but it's working... Zimbabwe has shown us Iraq's currency is not totally out the door. There can be changes that can be made to turn it all around and in a short period of time.
Baghdad merchants' strike paralyzes trade in protest against increased customs tariffs
Baghdad merchants' strike paralyzes trade in protest against increased customs tariffs
On Sunday morning, Iraqis woke up to an unusual sight in the streets of the capital, Baghdad, as markets and shops appeared completely closed, in a general strike carried out by merchants in protest against a government decision to raise customs tariffs.
Major commercial areas such as Al-Shourja, Al-Rashid Street, Al-Karrada, Al-Rabeei, Al-Sina’a, and Jamila witnessed an almost complete closure of shops, while a number of merchants went out in demonstrations in the middle of Al-Shourja, demanding a reversal of the decision, which they described as “suffocating,” due to the sharp rise in commodity prices and the decline in citizens’ purchasing power that it caused.
Traders confirmed that the decision led to a major recession in the markets and increasing financial losses, which prompted them to escalate the strike, indicating their intention to continue the closure until the government responds to their demands to open a serious dialogue and review the customs tariff in a manner that is appropriate to the difficult economic conditions.
This strike comes days after warnings issued by traders about the consequences of implementing the decision, which prompted citizens yesterday, Saturday, to rush to the markets to buy food and consumer goods, fearing price increases or shortages in supply.
While some economic voices blame this decision for the accumulation of goods at ports and the disruption of trade, official sources maintain that the customs increase has generated significant revenue, a move aimed at bolstering the public treasury. However, as the crisis worsens, calls have grown louder to expand the strike to other governorates if immediate action is not taken. link
JEFF & MARKZ: From Iraq Political Clarity to Global Financial Stress: Why the Headlines Signal Progress, Not Panic
Breaking the Headline Fear: What Really Happened in Iraq?
A recent headline triggered concern across the RV and Iraq-watcher community:
“The Sudanese MP resigns from parliament and a replacement is preparing.”
At first glance, it sounds alarming — almost as if Prime Minister Sudani is withdrawing from the government.
According to Jeff, that interpretation is completely wrong.
👉 In reality, this is very good news.
Let’s explain why.
You Cannot Hold Dual Power in Iraq
Jeff breaks it down simply:
“You cannot be both a Member of Parliament and a Prime Minister at the same time.”
Why This Matters:
Iraq’s political system does not allow dual authority
One person cannot legally hold:
Legislative power (MP)
Executive power (Prime Minister)
Sudani had to choose
And the choice he made is the key takeaway.
Sudani’s Decision: Parliament or Prime Minister?
“What he’s giving up is his parliamentary seat — and he’s taking the position of Prime Minister.” — Jeff
This means:
❌ He is not leaving leadership
✅ He is fully committing to the premiership
🔒 His authority becomes clear, legal, and consolidated
This move:
Removes ambiguity
Strengthens governance
Shuts down political manipulation
This is not instability — it’s clarification.
Why This Is a Win: Maliki Is Fading Out
Jeff has been consistent on this point:
“I’ve been saying this whole time — Sudani’s got this and Maliki is out.”
Sudani stepping away from parliament:
Weakens legacy power structures
Limits behind-the-scenes interference
Signals a shift away from old political control
👉 This is not chaos — this is consolidation.
Short-Term Confusion, Long-Term Stability
Jeff also acknowledges investor frustration:
“It’s a very difficult investment to study right now because there’s a lot of unknown information.”
Key realities:
Not everything is being disclosed publicly
Government formation is being intentionally delayed
Silence does not equal failure
Historically, the final stages of political and financial transitions are the least transparent.
Why the Government Formation Is Being Stalled
This stalling is not accidental .
Possible reasons include:
Final power realignments
Legal restructuring
Protection from political sabotage
Timing coordination with economic reforms
👉 When governments rush, mistakes happen.
👉 When they stall strategically, big changes usually follow.
Important MarkZ Disclaimer
MarkZ Disclaimer:
Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything, and it is best to watch the video for full context. Always consult a professional before making any financial decisions.
A New Week… Same Global Financial Tension
The MarkZ call opened with optimism:
“Good morning and welcome to a new week of possibilities.”
But reality quickly set in:
“The weekend was a nothing burger… so hoping the week is better.”
Despite the quiet surface, global financial pressure continues to intensify.
Bond Market Update: Quiet… But Closely Watched
According to MarkZ:
Bond activity remains quiet
No unexpected movement — yet
Any sudden change will be shared via Truth, X, or Telegram
⚠️ Silence in bond markets often means tension is being artificially managed, not resolved.
Federal Reserve Injects $56 Billion: A Red Flag
One member noted:
“The Federal Reserve is injecting $56 billion into the banking system over the next three weeks.”
MarkZ Response:
🇯🇵 Japan is struggling to prevent bond collapse
🇺🇸 The U.S. is trying to prevent bank implosions
Liquidity injections are damage control, not growth
👉 When central banks inject money at this scale, it signals systemic stress, not strength.
China Dumps U.S. Treasuries — Confidence Is Fading
Another major topic:
“China has announced they will be dumping $600 billion in U.S. Treasuries.”
MarkZ added:
“Nobody wants U.S. treasuries… even U.S. citizens don’t buy them much anymore.”
This highlights:
Declining trust in debt-based assets
A global move away from paper promises
Rising interest in hard assets and alternative systems
Is the Yuan Gold-Backed?
MarkZ clarified:
China introduced a hybrid gold-backed yuan years ago
Used mainly for international oil trade
Not a full gold standard — but strategic
This reinforces one truth:
👉 De-dollarization is real and accelerating.
Iraq Update: Political Gridlock, Digital Control
Parliament Dysfunction Continues
“Iraq Parliament held a session for minutes and adjourned until further notice.”
Sessions are being:
Opened briefly
Shut down quickly
Repeatedly postponed
Political dysfunction remains frustrating — but reforms continue quietly.
ASYCUDA: The Silent Game Changer
MarkZ emphasized:
“They are sticking to their guns on customs and imports.”
ASYCUDA (digital customs system):
Digitally tracks all imports
Eliminates bribery and corruption
Stops money leakage to elites
Speculators and smugglers are spreading false narratives — a sign the system is working.
Comex, Silver, and a Broken Market
One of the most alarming topics:
“Comex is in crisis: the Western silver racket implodes.”
MarkZ confirmed:
A recent bank failure involved silver exposure
Physical silver supply is extremely tight
Paper silver markets are structurally broken
Bill Holter warned:
“If you sell your silver, you probably won’t be able to replace it.”
ATM Shutdowns and Public Awareness
A member shared:
“My bank texted me that ATMs will be shut down on the 16th & 17th.”
While often localized, these notices contribute to growing public unease.
As one member summarized perfectly:
“Mark, TNT, Frank, Bruce — every RV site will be shouting it from the treetops. You won’t miss it.”
Featured Snippet: Why Did Sudani Resign from Parliament?
Answer:
Sudani resigned from parliament because Iraqi law does not allow one person to be both an MP and Prime Minister. By giving up his parliamentary seat, he fully commits to the premiership and strengthens governance.
Featured Snippet: Why Is the Federal Reserve Injecting Liquidity?
Answer:
The Federal Reserve is injecting liquidity to stabilize banks and prevent systemic failures amid extreme bond stress in the U.S. and Japan — a sign of financial strain, not strength.
Final Thoughts: Calm on the Surface, Change Underneath
Bad headlines often hide good news.
Quiet markets often hide stress.
Silence often comes before major shifts.
Sudani didn’t step away from leadership —
he stepped into it fully.
And globally, the financial system is showing classic signs of transition pressure.
Historically, resets don’t arrive with noise —
they arrive after silence.

FRANK26: Security Before the New Exchange Rate: Frank26 Explains Iran, Iraq, and the Final Requirement
The Big Question: What Is Still Missing for a New Exchange Rate?
Frank26 addressed one of the most important questions in the RV discussion:
“What is it we need in order to bring forth a new exchange rate?”
The answer may surprise some — but for Frank26, the #1 requirement is not economic.
It is security and stability, specifically security from Iran’s influence.
Why Security Comes Before Any Rate Change
According to Frank26:
“Well, a lot of things — but the number one thing is security and stability from Iran.”
No central bank will safely introduce a new exchange rate if:
Political influence is unstable
Armed interference exists
External actors can disrupt the system
👉 Monetary reform cannot survive chaos.
Who Represents Iran Inside Iraq?
Frank26 is very direct on this point:
“Who represents Iran in Iraq? Maliki and his Framework.”
In this view:
Iran’s influence is political, not just military
Maliki and the Coordination Framework act as proxies
Removing or neutralizing this influence is critical
This is not about personalities — it’s about control.
What Is Trump Doing in the Background? (IMO)
Frank26 frames current geopolitical pressure as strategic:
“Trump is causing countries to play fair with the American dollar by raising the value of their currency.”
From this perspective:
Currency values are being forced into alignment
Bad actors are being pressured economically
Stability is being demanded before cooperation
Iran’s Position Is Changing (IMO)
Frank26 adds:
“What else is he doing in Iran? He’s pretty much neutering them… Trump is talking to them.”
This suggests:
Diplomatic pressure over military escalation
Reduction of Iran’s leverage in the region
A path toward regional de-escalation
Security doesn’t always come from force — sometimes it comes from containment.
Lower Notes and the Role of U.S. Forces (IMO)
One of Frank26’s most striking opinions:
“IMO American soldiers will deliver the lower notes to the banks that have qualified and are working with the U.S. Treasury and Donald Trump.”
Key implications:
Only qualified banks receive lower denominations
Coordination with the U.S. Treasury
Security ensured during monetary transition
Controlled and protected rollout
This reinforces the idea that the exchange rate is tied to security logistics.
Why the CBI Hasn’t Introduced the New Rate (IMO)
Frank26 concludes:
“Trump is demanding security and stability for this new exchange rate… because the CBI is too stubborn to introduce it.”
From this viewpoint:
The Central Bank of Iraq is hesitant
External pressure is being applied
Stability is the final checkpoint
Once secured, resistance fades
Featured Snippet: What Is the Main Requirement for Iraq’s New Exchange Rate?
Answer:
According to Frank26, the number one requirement for Iraq to introduce a new exchange rate is security and stability—specifically protection from Iranian influence within Iraq’s political system.
Featured Snippet: Why Is Iran Important in Iraq’s Monetary Reform?
Answer:
Frank26 explains that Iranian influence, represented politically by figures like Maliki, must be neutralized before Iraq can safely move forward with a new exchange rate and monetary reform.
Q&A: Key Clarifications
❓ Is this Frank26’s opinion or confirmed fact?
Much of this analysis is clearly stated as IMO (In My Opinion).
❓ Why would security matter more than economics?
Because without stability, any new rate would be vulnerable to manipulation or collapse.
❓ Are lower notes already prepared?
Frank26 believes they exist and will be distributed only to qualified banks.
❓ Why involve the U.S. Treasury?
To ensure transparency, compliance, and protection during reform.
❓ Is this process close to completion?
Security pressure suggests final positioning, not beginning stages.
Why This Perspective Matters
Frank26’s analysis highlights something many overlook:
💡 Exchange rates are not just financial tools — they are security assets.
Before value can change:
Influence must be controlled
Stability must be guaranteed
Systems must be protected
Only then can a new rate survive.
Final Thoughts: Security Unlocks the Door
The money is ready.
The banks are ready.
The systems are ready.
According to Frank26, security is the last lock on the door.
Once that lock is removed — everything else can move forward quickly.
