STATUS OF THE RV: Separating Rumors from Reality in Iraq’s Political & Financial Landscape

๐Ÿšจ STATUS OF THE RV – Let’s Talk FACTS, Not Fantasy

There is a flood of information circulating right now — and unfortunately, much of it is rumor-driven hype.

Late last weekend, certain personalities claimed that a “green light” had been given across the board and that banks were confirming receipt of a pending RV (Revaluation).

Let’s be clear:

There is no confirmed evidence that a full RV has been activated or released.

These repeated “every weekend” announcements damage credibility and create emotional rollercoasters for investors.

If you want the TRUTH, then let’s walk through what is actually happening in Iraq — based on political and economic realities, not secret memos or anonymous three-letter agency sources.


❌ Rumor #1: The “Green Light” Has Been Given

Claims:

  • Banks have internal memos.

  • RV is pending release.

  • Everything is activated behind the scenes.

Reality:

  • No public confirmation from the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI).

  • No international forex system adjustment.

  • No official rate change.

  • No IMF or World Bank announcement supporting such action.

If a sovereign currency revaluation were imminent, it would require:

None of those conditions have been publicly finalized yet.


❌ Rumor #2: A U.S. Envoy Becoming Prime Minister of Iraq

Another rumor suggested that a U.S. envoy to Iraq could be nominated as Prime Minister because of Iraqi birth origins.

Let’s analyze logically:

  • Iraqi Prime Minister must meet constitutional and citizenship requirements.

  • A U.S. citizen without Iraqi citizenship does not qualify.

  • The Coordination Framework would strongly oppose foreign political placement.

  • It would trigger immediate sovereignty conflict.

This speculation lacks legal and political foundation.


๐Ÿ“Œ So What Is Actually Blocking the RV?

For years, it has been stated that five major issues must be resolved before Iraq can reinstate its currency internationally.

While economic reforms have progressed,  political and sovereignty issues remain unresolved.

The most pressing issue right now:

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ถ Iranian Influence & PMF Presence

The expulsion of Iranian-backed militias (PMF elements) and limiting Iranian influence in Iraqi politics has become central to U.S.–Iraq relations.

This issue has:

  • Created political stalemate

  • Influenced government formation

  • Affected U.S. Treasury actions

  • Delayed financial normalization

Monetary reform cannot fully move forward while national sovereignty questions remain unstable.


๐Ÿ—ณ️ The 2025 Election Deadlock

Iraq still faces political gridlock following the November 2025 election cycle.

Current developments include:

  • Kurdistan presenting its candidate for President

  • Parliamentary confirmation processes underway

  • Prime Minister candidate expected after presidential seating

  • Constitutional deadlines approaching

However, without unified political alignment, reforms stall.

And stalled reforms delay monetary normalization.


๐Ÿ’ฐ U.S. Treasury Sanctions & Asset Freezes

Recent reports indicate asset freezes affecting key Iraqi political figures.

Allegations include:

  • Large-scale financial corruption

  • Transfer of funds outside Iraq

  • Involvement in questionable government dealings

These actions signal:

  • Increased U.S. oversight

  • Financial compliance pressure

  • Anti-corruption enforcement

  • Political reshuffling pressure

This creates panic within certain political factions, especially the Coordination Framework.


๐Ÿ”„ The “Bait and Switch” Political Strategy

There are reports suggesting that one political tactic being considered involves:

  • Proceeding with a Prime Minister candidacy

  • Securing presidential assignment

  • Withdrawing afterward

  • Framing withdrawal as sovereignty preservation

If true, this maneuver reflects political maneuvering under heavy external pressure.

But let’s be honest:

International monetary reform does not respond to political theater.

It responds to stability, governance, and compliance.


๐Ÿ“Š Where Does the RV Really Stand?

Let’s simplify.

✅ Progress Made:

  • Banking reforms

  • Digital payment systems

  • AML (Anti-Money Laundering) compliance improvements

  • Stronger financial sector oversight

  • Increased transparency efforts

❌ Still Blocking:

  • Government formation instability

  • Iranian political influence

  • Sovereignty disputes

  • U.S. enforcement actions

  • Political fragmentation

Until these structural issues stabilize, the probability of a full reinstatement remains limited.


๐Ÿ”ฅ Featured Snippet: Current RV Status

Is the Iraqi dinar RV active?
No confirmed activation has occurred.

What is delaying it?
Political deadlock, Iranian influence concerns, government formation instability, and U.S. financial enforcement actions.

Are banking reforms complete?
Significant progress has been made, but political conditions remain unresolved.


❓ Q&A Section

Q: Is there a confirmed RV date?

No. There is no official date released by the CBI or international financial authorities.

Q: Are banks preparing secretly?

There is no verified documentation proving banks have activated a revaluation.

Q: What must happen before reinstatement?

Stable government formation, sovereignty alignment, reduction of external political interference, and full compliance with international financial standards.

Q: Could sanctions accelerate reform?

Yes. External pressure can force political restructuring — but it may also delay stability short term.


๐Ÿง  The Bigger Picture

Currency reform is not just financial.

It is political.

It is sovereign.

It is structural.

Iraq cannot move into full international currency reinstatement while:

  • Its political leadership remains fractured.

  • External influence dominates internal decision-making.

  • Constitutional processes face gridlock.

Reform requires alignment — not just ambition.


๐ŸšฆFinal Thought – Patience Over Hype

Every weekend RV rumors create emotional spikes.

But serious investors watch:

  • Parliamentary confirmations

  • U.S. Treasury actions

  • Government formation

  • Sovereignty enforcement

  • Monetary policy statements

The RV is not a random button push.

It is the final step in a multi-layer reform process.

Stay grounded.
Ignore the noise.
Watch the fundamentals.

STATUS OF THE RV

There is so much news this period. Let’s get through it to get to it. Late last weekend it had been reported by TNT Tony and some other idiots that the “green light ” has been given across the board and banks are confirming receipt of a pending RV. I can tell you with 1000% assurance that this is NOT true. I am in very close contact with the CBI. Again, I don’t know where they get their lies from but it should stop. You do want to know the TRUTH, don’t you? This every day / every weekend lies have to stop!

Another rumor started by guess who…. Markz and his gang of idiots. It stated that the U.S. envoy to Iraq Mark Savaya might be nominated for prime minister of Iraq. Their reasoning says stupidity all over it. They say since he was Iraq born and lived a time in Iraq he would qualify. Folks, Savaya is a US citizen and does not holds his citizenship in Iraq. Get it? If this should occur (which it can’t), don’t you think the Coordination Framework would appose it as a blatant violation of National Sovereignty? Imagine the U.S. placing their own politician in Iraqi politics.

Folks these rumors are nothing more than speculation. It is hype by a bunch of idiots. They get on their calls and have the nerve to criticize those presenting the FACTS yet they don’t present any relevant facts to back up what they say. Instead only secret sources of three letter agencies and here we go again with bank memos.

So, what is really going on in Iraq as FACTUAL?

As we were told many times already that the reinstatement of the Iraq dinar will not happen until five issues are resolved. I presented these five issues to you in my 9/16 Newsletter. These issues have NOT been taken off the table. As we have been reading the news over the last couple years what have the issues in the news been? Yes, all connected directly or indirectly with one of these five issues. So, let’s explore these issues today and see if any of them have been recently addressed.

Of course, the hottest issue out of the five issues is the expulsion of the Iranian PMF from Iraq and this has led to the mandated expulsion of Iran from Iraqi politics altogether by the US Trump administration. This in simple terms, is the stalemate of this latest pivotal election for Iraq. As information gatherers for the RV event, we can present all we want about the great job that Iraq has done on the banking reforms and the financial sectors. However, at this point in time, this is not going to circumvent these other issues that will block (have blocked) what we are looking for- the RV.  

Iraq still faces a deadlock from the Nov 2025 election cycle. It is said that Kurdistan has presented their candidate for president to Parliament for confirmation this week. Also it is said that the confirmation of the prime minister candidate will also be presented this week following the seating of the new president. It is all scheduled for this week. Constitutional deadlines are at stake.

We have not seen the first steps of ACTION by the Trump administration against these Iranian backed politicians just elected into parliament. In the article titled THE US TREASURY FREEZES THE ASSETS OF HALBOUSI AND TWO OF HIS PARTY LEADERS”.

The source told Al-Maalomah News Agency that “Jordan and the UAE have frozen the assets of the head of the Progress Alliance, Mohammed al-Halbousi, the current governor of Anbar, Omar Mishaan Dabbous, and Hebat al-Halbousi, the Speaker of Parliament, due to their inclusion in the US Federal Reserve’s decision.” 

He added that “the targeted party leaders stole huge sums of money after assuming leadership positions in the central and local governments and transferred them to banks outside Iraq.”

Now we see a panic among member of the Coordination Framework with many suggestions by its members of what to do next.

☹In the first article titled “AL-ABADI SUGGESTS TO AL-MALIKI THAT HE WITHDRAW AFTER BEING TASKED WITH FORMING A GOVERNMENT, SO AS NOT TO GIVE THE AMERICANS CREDIT” we see a bait and switch approach suggested by former prime minister Abadi. Yeh Abadi! The cats out of the bag, it won’t work….. lol..lol… I quote from the article – The Victory Coalition, led by Haider al-Abadi, suggested on Sunday to Nouri al-Maliki, head of the State of Law Coalition, that he proceed with his candidacy for the position of Prime Minister, and withdraw after being assigned by the President of the Republic, in order to preserve sovereignty and not have his withdrawal considered a response to the American side, since the withdrawal will come after the assignment.”

FRANK26: The Big Question: What Is Still Missing for a New Exchange Rate? ‪@DINARREVALUATION‬ #iqd

 


THE CENTRAL BANK GOVERNOR DISCUSSES WITH THE AMERICAN SIDE SUPPORT FOR MONETARY STABILITY

THE CENTRAL BANK GOVERNOR DISCUSSES WITH THE AMERICAN SIDE SUPPORT FOR MONETARY STABILITY.

(Is the US almost ready now to support the reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar? Is this really what this meeting was all about? Of course there is much more to it than this one meeting as the IMF, Treasury and World Bank must also get involved. But is Harris just the messenger to start the process? )

 The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Mr. Ali Mohsen Ismail Al-Alaq, received the Chargรฉ d’Affaires of the United States Embassy in Iraq, Mr. Josh Harris. They discussed prospects for strengthening the strategic partnership between the two countries and emphasized the importance of supporting monetary and economic stability, in line with the requirements for political and security stability in Iraq.


For his part, the Governor expressed his gratitude for the continued support provided by the United States, represented by the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve, particularly during the quarterly meetings. He also reviewed the banking reform plan and the notable progress made in stabilizing foreign exchange transactions and regulating dollar sales according to best practices and international standards.

At the conclusion of the meeting, Mr. Harris expressed his full readiness to continue supporting the efforts of the Central Bank of Iraq, enabling it to achieve its goals in promoting financial and monetary stability.

MNT GOAT: FROM DOLLAR TO DINAR: Iraq’s Exchange Rate Policy Shakes Oil Companies – What It Means for Investors

๐Ÿšจ FROM DOLLAR TO DINAR… Exchange Rate Policy Confuses Oil Companies and Threatens Their Employees!

WOW! WOW! WOW!

The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has made a bold and controversial move — directing that payments to contractors working with oil companies be converted from U.S. dollars to Iraqi dinars (IQD) at the official exchange rate.

This decision has sparked widespread debate in economic and financial circles. Why? Because while contractors are being paid in dinars, many of their contracts, operational expenses, and international obligations remain denominated in U.S. dollars.

And here’s the kicker:

Any losses could stem from the large gap between the official exchange rate and the parallel (black market) rate.

Some analysts are even warning of potential company collapses if this policy continues under current conditions.

But for dinar investors?

Choo-Choo… ๐Ÿš‚ This train might be heading somewhere very interesting.

Let’s break it down.


๐Ÿ”Ž What Exactly Did the Central Bank of Iraq Do?

The CBI instructed that:

  • Payments to oil contractors must now be made in Iraqi dinars

  • Payments are calculated at the official exchange rate

  • Contractors must manage their own currency conversion if they require USD

However:

  • Many expenses (equipment imports, foreign staff, technology contracts) are in USD

  • The parallel market rate differs significantly from the official rate

  • This creates currency risk for companies operating in Iraq’s oil sector

This policy shift effectively transfers exchange rate risk from the government to private companies.


⚖️ Official Rate vs. Parallel Market Rate – Why It Matters

Iraq currently operates under:

When there is a wide gap between these two rates:

  • Companies paid in IQD must exchange dinars for dollars at less favorable market rates

  • This creates immediate financial losses

  • Profit margins shrink

  • Operational risks increase

Some economists warn:

“If the exchange gap persists, smaller contractors could face bankruptcy.”

That’s serious.


๐Ÿ›ข️ Why Target Oil Sector Payments?

The oil sector is Iraq’s economic backbone, accounting for:

  • Over 90% of government revenue

  • The majority of foreign currency inflows

  • Iraq’s strongest international leverage

By forcing oil-sector payments into dinars, the CBI may be attempting to:

  1. Increase demand for IQD

  2. Reduce dollar dependency

  3. Strengthen monetary sovereignty

  4. Gradually control the parallel market

This is not random. This is strategic.


๐Ÿ’ก What Does This Mean for Iraqi Dinar Investors?

Now let’s talk investment implications.

When a central bank:

  • Reduces dollar usage

  • Forces internal transactions into local currency

  • Strengthens domestic currency circulation

  • Narrows the gap between official and market rates

It is often preparing for currency stabilization or reform.

For long-term IQD holders, this could signal:

  • Increased internal demand for dinars

  • Greater monetary discipline

  • Movement toward exchange rate unification

  • Pressure to align official and market rates

In simple terms:

Policies that force dinar usage can strengthen its long-term structural value.

However, volatility may increase in the short term.


⚠️ Risks to Watch

Let’s stay balanced.

Potential risks include:

  • Oil companies reducing operations

  • Contractor layoffs

  • Temporary economic slowdown

  • Increased pressure on the parallel market

If companies struggle to manage exchange risk, it could create friction within the oil sector.

But historically, currency reform phases often create temporary instability before long-term adjustment.


๐Ÿ“Š Could This Be a Step Toward Exchange Rate Reform?

Many observers believe Iraq has been working toward:

  • Digital banking reform

  • Anti-money laundering compliance

  • Currency market regulation

  • Reducing dollar smuggling

  • Strengthening monetary sovereignty

This policy aligns with those broader reforms.

When countries reduce dollar dependency and consolidate exchange control, they often prepare for larger monetary restructuring.

Coincidence?

Maybe.

Strategic monetary positioning?

Very possible.


๐Ÿ”ฅ Featured Snippet: Key Takeaways

What is happening?
The Central Bank of Iraq is requiring oil contractors to be paid in Iraqi dinars instead of U.S. dollars.

Why is it controversial?
Because contracts and expenses are often in USD, creating losses due to exchange rate differences.

What does it mean for investors?
It may signal efforts to strengthen the Iraqi dinar and reduce dollar dependency — potentially bullish long term.


❓ Q&A Section

Q: Why would Iraq move away from dollar payments?

A: To strengthen the dinar, reduce dollar reliance, control currency markets, and reinforce monetary sovereignty.

Q: Could this cause oil companies to leave Iraq?

A: Large international firms are unlikely to exit, but smaller contractors may face financial strain.

Q: Is this a sign of an Iraqi dinar revaluation?

A: It suggests structural monetary reform, but official revaluation decisions depend on broader economic and policy factors.

Q: Does this benefit dinar investors?

A: Policies increasing dinar demand and reducing dollar dependence may support long-term currency strength.


๐ŸŒ Bigger Picture: From Dollar Dominance to Dinar Assertion

Iraq has historically relied heavily on the U.S. dollar for stability.

But nations seeking economic sovereignty eventually:

  • Strengthen local currency use

  • Regulate parallel markets

  • Align official and market rates

  • Reinforce central bank control

This latest move fits that pattern.

The question isn’t whether change is happening.

The question is how fast.


๐Ÿš‚ Final Thoughts – Is the Train Moving?

When major policy shifts affect the oil sector — Iraq’s financial engine — investors should pay attention.

Short term? Turbulence.

Long term? Potential structural strengthening of the Iraqi dinar.

As always:

Stay informed.
Stay grounded.
Watch policy — not rumors.

The monetary chessboard is moving.

"FROM DOLLAR TO DINAR...

EXCHANGE RATE POLICY CONFUSES OIL COMPANIES AND THREATENS THEIR EMPLOYEES! "

WOW! WOW! WOW! The Central Bank of Iraq's decision to convert payments to contractors working with oil companies from US dollars to Iragi dinars has sparked widespread controversy in economic circles.

 Central Bank's directive to disburse their payments in dinars at the official rate-even though their contracts and expenses are denominated in dollars." Any losses could stem from the large difference between the official and parallel exchange rates for the dollar against the dinar," warning of "the collapse of companies

due to the exchange rate policy.

.......Choo-Choo.......... This is of course wonderful news for us investors. Let's explore this recent move

by the CBI and how it impacts our investment.

A MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE: MALIKI MAY WITHDRAW FROM THE NOMINATION FOR THE SAKE OF IRAQ

A MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE: MALIKI MAY WITHDRAW FROM THE NOMINATION FOR THE SAKE OF IRAQ.

Baghdad/Al-Masalla: On Friday, Abdul Samad Al-Zarkoushi, a member of the Coordination Framework, identified the reason that might prompt Nouri Al-Maliki, the head of the State of Law Coalition, to abandon his candidacy for the next government.

Al-Zarkoushi said, “Nouri al-Maliki is a statesman who possesses experience, competence, and a personality that no one disagrees with. Therefore, his nomination by the Coordination Framework for the next government presidency is still valid, and there are no changes to this decision.”

He added that “the Coordination Framework, as the largest bloc in the Iraqi parliament, has the legal and constitutional right to nominate whomever it deems worthy of heading the next government.”

He pointed out that “Maliki is a statesman, but if he feels that his nomination may harm Iraq’s interests and cause damage to the people, he will make a decision to step down. This decision comes in accordance with a national vision, and the vision of the framework is what will decide matters.”

Al-Zarkoushi stressed that “it is unacceptable for any country to interfere in Iraq’s affairs to determine one person or another. Iraq is an independent and sovereign country, and the Iraqi political forces are the ones who determine the direction and identity of the next prime minister and the nature of his foreign relations and internal dealings. Al-Maliki is the one who will determine his final choice, and we are confident that this choice will be patriotic in all circumstances.”

(Mnt Goat: Iraq is NOT an independent and sovereign country as long as Iranian influence by non-Iraqi citizens of Iranian decent are in the government who determine the direction of Iraq.)

The State of Law Coalition’s statements come amid continued political controversy over Nouri al-Maliki’s nomination for prime minister, following Trump’s tweet calling for al-Maliki to be removed from power in Iraq and for his past experiences not to be repeated, amid media speculation about the possibility of changing the nominee as a result of external positions and pressures.

The coordinating framework has repeatedly affirmed its commitment to its declared options, stressing that the decision regarding the position of Prime Minister will be made in accordance with internal understandings and constitutional balances between political forces.

A "rare" meeting of the State Administration Coalition with the participation of Maliki, Sudani and Bafel Talabani

 A "rare" meeting of the State Administration Coalition with the participation of Maliki, Sudani and Bafel Talabani

 The State Administration Coalition held an expanded meeting today, Sunday (February 8, 2026), in which the head of the State of Law Coalition, Nouri al-Maliki, the Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, and the head of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, Bafel Talabani, participated, to discuss the latest political developments in the country and the course of understandings between the forces participating in the coalition.

According to a Baghdad Today correspondent, the meeting witnessed extensive discussions on outstanding issues between political forces, and mechanisms to enhance coordination between the caretaker government and the coalition forces, in order to ensure the stability of executive and legislative work, and to proceed with issues of priority to the citizen.

According to our correspondent, the attendees stressed the importance of maintaining the unity of the State Administration Coalition’s position and addressing any problems through internal dialogue, as well as emphasizing the need to support steps in economic and service-related matters and to fortify the internal political situation against regional and international challenges.

The coalition has not held a meeting at this level for several months, making this meeting a rare one in terms of timing and the nature of the attendees, amid frequent talk of differences in visions among its members regarding a number of political and economic issues. link
