🇮🇷🇮🇶 IRAN’S MESSAGE TO IRAQ: “OUR SECURITY COOPERATION IS AT ITS BEST” — WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN?

 🇮🇷🇮🇶 IRAN’S MESSAGE TO IRAQ: “OUR SECURITY COOPERATION IS AT ITS BEST” — WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN?

📰 NEWS SUMMARY

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stated that relations between Iran and Iraq are “at their best,” emphasizing close cooperation in politics, economics, trade, security, and border affairs.

He specifically highlighted security cooperation, border protection, coordination between the two countries, and the development of joint transit routes. He also described the recent Iraqi prime minister’s visit to Tehran as productive.

At first glance, this sounds like a positive statement about strong bilateral relations. 🇮🇷🤝🇮🇶

But there is one part of this statement that deserves much closer attention:

⚠️ “SECURITY COOPERATION”

This is where things become particularly interesting.

Iraq is currently working toward placing all weapons and security decisions under the exclusive authority of the Iraqi state. At the same time, Baghdad is confronting the sensitive issue of armed factions and militias with longstanding ties to Iran.

So when Tehran publicly says that security relations between Iran and Iraq are at their best, it naturally raises an important question:

What does Iran mean by “security cooperation,” and who ultimately defines Iraq’s security policy — Baghdad or outside powers?

🎯 THE POLITICAL MESSAGE BEHIND THE STATEMENT?

This could reasonably be viewed as a carefully worded political message from Tehran.

Iran is emphasizing that security cooperation with Iraq remains a central part of the bilateral relationship at precisely the moment when Iraq is trying to strengthen its sovereignty, state authority, and exclusive control over weapons.

We cannot say from this statement alone that Iran is currently giving direct orders to Iraqi militias. That would require independent evidence.

However, the timing and wording are significant.

The message can be interpreted as:

🇮🇷 “Our security relationship with Iraq remains strong, and we intend to preserve our strategic role.”

Meanwhile, Baghdad's position increasingly appears to be:

🇮🇶 “Iraq must control its own weapons, territory, and security decisions.”

🔥 THIS IS THE REAL PULSE

This isn't necessarily about whether Iraq and Iran should have diplomatic or economic relations. Countries can cooperate while maintaining sovereignty.

The real question is:

How much influence will Iran continue to have over Iraq’s internal security architecture?

That is the issue to watch.

If Iraq truly wants to move toward greater sovereignty and stability, then the direction is clear:

🇮🇶 Iraq must control its own security.
🇮🇶 Iraq must control its own weapons.
🇮🇶 Iraq must decide its own alliances.
🇮🇶 Iraqi territory cannot become a battlefield for outside powers.

💵🇮🇶 WHY THIS MATTERS FOR IRAQ’S FUTURE

For those watching Iraq's economic and potential currency transformation, this issue is much bigger than politics.

Security and stability are fundamental foundations for economic reform, international investment, banking modernization, and ultimately any major currency reform.

So while Iran may describe the relationship as being at its “best,” the question Iraq must answer is:

Who has the final word on Iraq’s security — Baghdad or external interests?

That may be one of the most important questions Iraq faces right now. 🇮🇶🔥

First sovereignty. First stability. Then the deeper economic and monetary transformation. 💵📈🇮🇶

IRAN: OUR RELATIONS WITH IRAQ ARE AT THEIR BEST, AND COOPERATION INCLUDES THE ECONOMY, SECURITY, AND BORDERS.

(Mnt Goat: I have never heard of such bullshit. You see when you know the truth you can spot  lies a mile away.)

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi affirmed on Monday that relations between Iran and Iraq are at their best, noting the close cooperation between the two countries in the political, economic, security and border fields.

During his visit to Iraq to participate in the Arbaeen pilgrimage of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him), Araqchi said that the Arbaeen pilgrimage represents a major maneuver that reflects the unity of the Iraqi and Iranian peoples and the depth of the religious and ideological ties between them.

He added that the recent visit of the Iraqi Prime Minister to Tehran witnessed fruitful discussions, stressing that joint cooperation includes coordinating political positions, economic and trade files, securing borders and regulating movement across them, as well as developing joint transit routes.

🇮🇶💵 CBI CONTACT CONVERSATION: WHY COULD DELETE THE ZEROS BE THE KEY?

 🇮🇶💵 CBI CONTACT: WHY COULD DELETE THE ZEROS BE THE KEY?

There is a lot of information circulating about Iraq’s liquidity crisis, cash being held outside the banking system, the growing money supply, and the future of the Delete the Zeros project.

According to what Mnt Goat says was discussed with her alleged CBI contact, these issues are closely connected to Iraq’s broader monetary reform and potentially to what many of us are watching for—the RV.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: The following reflects what Mnt Goat attributes to her contact and is NOT an official CBI confirmation of an RV or a new exchange rate.

---

📰 1️⃣ THE LIQUIDITY CRISIS

One of the main topics discussed was the growing amount of physical cash remaining outside the banking system.

Recent reports have warned that Iraq could face increasing pressure to print additional currency to cover salaries and avoid a deeper financial crisis.

But according to the contact, the problem is not simply getting money into the banks.

💡 The CBI already electronically deposits salaries and pensions into bank accounts.

The bigger problem is:

👉 How do you keep that money inside the banking system?

---

💳 2️⃣ WHY DOES THE MONEY LEAVE THE BANKS?

The contact reportedly explained that Iraq still depends heavily on cash.

Although POS systems and electronic payments are expanding, many businesses—especially in remote areas—still lack reliable 24/7 electricity.

When electronic systems cannot operate, businesses return to cash. 💵

Therefore, cash remains necessary for everyday commerce.

---

🔢 3️⃣ THE BIG ISSUE: LOWER-DENOMINATION NOTES

This was one of the most interesting points discussed.

According to the contact, a significant amount of the cash accumulating outside the banking system consists of 250, 500, and 1,000 dinar notes.

Why?

Because these notes are constantly used as change when citizens make purchases using larger denominations such as:

💵 5,000
💵 10,000
💵 25,000
💵 50,000 dinars.

People receive the smaller notes as change and often simply take them home and store them.

When enough people do this, the marketplace begins experiencing a shortage of lower denominations.

---

📈 4️⃣ WHY DOES THE CBI KEEP PRINTING THEM?

According to this explanation, the CBI continues needing to print lower denominations because they continually disappear from circulation.

And this creates a potential problem:

🔄 More small notes → more currency in circulation → increased money supply → greater monetary pressure.

The contact reportedly said larger notes are mainly being printed to replace damaged ones, while lower denominations remain the greater challenge.

Therefore, continuing to print more and more small notes could eventually make the underlying problem worse.

---

🧩 5️⃣ IT MAY NOT SIMPLY BE A "LACK OF TRUST"

Another important point from the conversation is that the problem has often been described as citizens simply not trusting the banks.

According to the contact, the situation is more complicated.

It involves:

🏦 Banking infrastructure
💵 Dependence on cash
⚡ Electricity limitations
💳 Incomplete electronic-payment adoption
📚 Financial education
🔢 Currency denominations
📊 Monetary logistics.

In other words, people may not necessarily be hiding money from banks; in many cases, the economy still requires cash to function.

---

🔄 6️⃣ WHERE DOES DELETE THE ZEROS COME IN?

This is where the discussion becomes particularly interesting.

According to the contact, Delete the Zeros could help address some of these issues by reorganizing Iraq’s currency denominations and eventually withdrawing certain notes from circulation.

The process would require an official exchange or conversion period.

Once the deadline expired, large amounts of currency remaining outside the banking system could potentially lose their validity.

This could also help the government identify or neutralize large accumulations of undeclared or illicit cash.

---

🚨 7️⃣ CORRUPTION AND CASH OUTSIDE THE SYSTEM

The contact reportedly indicated that one potential benefit of the process would be reducing the ability to use large amounts of cash accumulated outside the financial system.

But an important distinction must be made:

❌ Not all cash outside banks is stolen money.

Much of it may simply belong to citizens and businesses.

The key point is that a structured currency exchange could give the government greater control and visibility over cash remaining outside the banking system.

---

💵 8️⃣ WHAT COMES AFTER DELETE THE ZEROS?

This is probably the part most interesting to those following the dinar.

According to the reported conversation, once the currency conversion is completed, the next step would need to involve the international value of the dinar.

The discussion reportedly referenced:

🌎 Returning the dinar to international/FOREX trading
📈 Recognizing its effective value
💱 Consideration of the REER (Real Effective Exchange Rate)
🔄 And eventually a revaluation.

Again:

⚠️ This is what Mnt Goat says her contact explained. It is NOT an official CBI announcement that an RV is coming.

---

🏦 9️⃣ THE ROLE OF THE CBI, IMF, WORLD BANK & U.S. TREASURY

According to the account, the CBI has a plan that would require coordination and approval involving institutions such as:

🇮🇶 CBI
🌎 IMF
🏦 World Bank
🇺🇸 U.S. Treasury.

The idea presented is that Iraq would need to satisfy certain conditions before fully implementing such a major monetary transformation.

---

🛢️ 1️⃣0️⃣ THE OIL & GAS LAW — HCL

One of the obstacles identified in the conversation was the Oil & Gas Law (HCL).

The argument is that Iraq needs a clearer legal framework for the distribution and management of oil revenues.

This remains particularly important because oil continues to represent a major source of Iraq’s government revenue.

---

🛡️ 1️⃣1️⃣ SECURITY, MILITIAS & FACTIONS

The second major obstacle mentioned was internal security, particularly armed militias and factions operating outside full state control.

According to the account, greater stability and state control over weapons would be important conditions for certain international steps.

In other words:

HCL + SECURITY/STABILITY = two major issues reportedly identified as obstacles.

---

📊 1️⃣2️⃣ WHY NOT SIMPLY CHANGE THE EXCHANGE RATE?

The conversation also addressed proposals from some MPs to change the exchange rate directly as a solution to the crisis.

According to the contact, this could actually be counterproductive.

If the exchange rate is changed before the underlying problems are resolved, it could create:

📈 Higher prices
🔥 Inflation
💵 Market pressure
⚠️ Greater instability.

Therefore, the key principle would be:

DO NOT USE AN EXCHANGE-RATE CHANGE AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR ECONOMIC STABILITY.

---

🔥 1️⃣3️⃣ THE BIGGEST WARNING

According to the conversation, Iraq may be reaching a point where time itself is becoming a critical factor.

Iraq has discussed Delete the Zeros for years.

But while the project remains delayed, the CBI continues dealing with problems involving lower denominations, liquidity, and the money supply.

The concern is that a monetary structure originally designed to help manage inflation could eventually contribute to additional inflationary pressure if the supply of lower denominations continues expanding.

---

🔎 MY ANALYSIS

This is where I believe we need to separate what makes economic sense from what remains speculation.

There is a logical argument behind the discussion: a major monetary reform requires the infrastructure to support it.

Iraq needs:

🏦 A stronger banking system
💳 Greater electronic-payment adoption
⚡ Better electricity infrastructure
📊 Inflation control
💰 Better revenue management
🔢 Efficient currency denominations
🛢️ Economic reforms
🛡️ Security and stability.

And this connects with something we have been seeing repeatedly in recent reports:

IRAQ NEEDS TO BUILD STABILITY BEFORE EXECUTING A MAJOR MONETARY TRANSFORMATION.

Delete the Zeros should not be viewed as a magic solution that automatically creates wealth.

The reform must work within an economy prepared to absorb it.

---

🇮🇶💵 MY OPINION

And this is where my opinion aligns with the central point of this conversation:

AS I HAVE ALWAYS SAID: STABILITY MUST COME FIRST! 🔥

If Iraq wants Delete the Zeros—and eventually an RV—to function properly inside the country, it first needs to make sure the reform does not trigger a surge in inflation, prices, or costs.

It is not simply about changing banknotes.

It is about preparing the entire economy for the transformation.

That is why, in my view, the most important thing is not simply hearing the words "RV" or "Delete the Zeros."

What matters is watching whether Iraq continues making progress in:

✅ Stability
✅ Banking reform
✅ Digitalization
✅ Liquidity management
✅ Non-oil revenues
✅ HCL
✅ Security
✅ International financial integration.

If these pieces continue falling into place, then we may be watching something much bigger than another headline:

THE BUILDING OF THE ECONOMIC FOUNDATION NEEDED FOR A FUTURE IRAQI DINAR TRANSFORMATION TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. 🇮🇶💵📈

👀 The RV is NOT confirmed. But the conditions that could potentially make it possible are exactly what we should continue watching.

FIRST THE STABILITY. THEN THE TRANSFORMATION. 🇮🇶🔥💵

🇮🇶💵 STABILITY FIRST: IRAQ’S DELETE ZEROS DEBATE

MNT GOAT

"REMOVING ZEROS TO WITHDRAW LOOTED FUNDS AND ADDRESS SALARY ISSUES... EXPERTS WARN AGAINST A "MAKEOVER".

 Economic and financial experts are discussing proposals to solve the liquidity crisis and salary delays plaguing Iraq, most notably changing the currency and removing zeros from the Iraqi dinar, or introducing additional denominations that correspond to the noticeable expansion in the size of

the circulating money supply. He continues: "The biggest challenge in such measures is managing the transitional phase, especially with regard to psychological expectations in the market and the possibility of some traders and speculators exploiting the transition period to raise prices under various pretexts, which may lead to inflationary pressures and dissipate the expected administrative benefits of the process of removing zeros.

 He stressed that the success of any step in this direction requires the existence of solid monetary and economic stability before its implementation, and not considering it as a means to achieve that stability"

🇮🇶💵 STABILITY FIRST: IRAQ’S DELETE ZEROS DEBATE

📰 WHAT THE NEWS IS SAYING:
Economic and financial experts in Iraq are discussing proposals to address the country’s liquidity crisis, salary payment delays, and the noticeable expansion of the money supply.

Among the proposals being discussed are changing the currency structure, removing zeros from the Iraqi dinar, or introducing additional denominations that better correspond to the amount of currency currently circulating. 💵📊

However, experts are warning that the biggest challenge would not necessarily be the reform itself, but managing the transition period.

⚠️ During the transition, psychological expectations in the market could become a major factor. Traders, merchants, or speculators could potentially use the currency change as an excuse to increase prices, creating additional inflationary pressure.

If that happens, some of the expected administrative benefits of removing zeros could be weakened or even lost.

The experts therefore emphasize that any reform of this magnitude would require strong monetary and economic stability BEFORE implementation.

🔎 THE ANALYSIS:
This is the part I believe is extremely important.

Removing zeros does not automatically create economic stability. It is a structural monetary measure that can simplify denominations and the handling of money, but it cannot, by itself, fix inflation, liquidity problems, government finances, weak institutions, or other underlying economic issues.

A successful implementation would require Iraq to have a solid foundation:
🏦 Stronger banking and financial infrastructure
💧 Better liquidity management
📊 Greater control over inflation and prices
💰 Improved government revenue collection
📈 A stronger and more diversified economy
🤝 Greater confidence in Iraq’s financial system

The transition would also need to be carefully managed so that businesses, banks, consumers, contracts, accounting systems, and prices all adjust properly.

And this is exactly why the experts' warning matters: the reform should not be used as the mechanism to create stability. Stability should exist first so the reform can work successfully.

🇮🇶 MY OPINION:
As I have always said—and as these recent reports continue to reinforce—STABILITY MUST COME FIRST!

Whether Iraq ultimately moves forward with DELETE ZEROS, introduces new denominations, or eventually makes a significant change to the dinar’s exchange rate, the economic foundation has to be prepared beforehand.

For those of us watching the possibility of an RV, this distinction is extremely important. 👀💵

The fact that experts are openly discussing currency restructuring is certainly worth watching, but this report does NOT confirm an RV or announce a new exchange rate.

What it does show is that Iraq continues to confront the monetary issues that would have to be addressed before any major currency transformation could function effectively inside the country.

The goal should be simple: build the stability first, then execute the reform correctly—without allowing inflation, speculation, or rising costs to undermine it. 🇮🇶💪🔥

The foundation comes first. The transformation comes after. 💵📈🇮🇶

🇮🇶💵 IRAQ’S ASYCUDA CUSTOMS REFORM: A MAJOR STEP IN ECONOMIC REFORM

 CHANNEL8

The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the Iraqi federal government have reached a landmark consensus to fully implement the digital ASYCUDA customs system across border points, establishing an equal 50-50 division of non-oil border revenues.

🇮🇶💵 IRAQ’S ASYCUDA CUSTOMS REFORM: A MAJOR STEP IN ECONOMIC REFORM

📰 WHAT THE NEWS SAYS:
The Iraqi federal government in Baghdad and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) have reached an important agreement to fully implement ASYCUDA, a digital customs management system, across border points in the Kurdistan Region.

The agreement also establishes a 50/50 division of non-oil border revenues between the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government. 🤝📊

💻 WHY ASYCUDA MATTERS:
The digitalization of customs can help Iraq improve how imports and customs duties are recorded, monitored, and collected. It is designed to increase transparency, reduce discrepancies, improve oversight, and make customs operations more consistent with modern international practices.

For an economy that has historically relied heavily on oil revenues, improving customs and other non-oil revenue sources is an important part of building a more diversified financial system. 🏦📈

🔎 THE BIGGER PICTURE:
The agreement between Baghdad and Erbil is significant because it represents greater fiscal coordination between the federal government and the Kurdistan Region.

The 50/50 revenue-sharing arrangement could also provide a clearer framework for managing border revenues while encouraging more consistent reporting and collection.

🇮🇶 WHAT THIS COULD MEAN FOR THE DINAR:
For those following the potential revaluation (RV) or future currency reform of the Iraqi dinar, developments like this are worth watching.

A stronger currency does not depend on an exchange-rate announcement alone. Iraq also needs stronger institutions, better revenue collection, modern banking and customs systems, economic diversification, stability, and greater integration with the international financial system. 🌍💵

ASYCUDA is not an announcement of an RV, and no specific revaluation has been confirmed by this agreement. However, it can be viewed as another piece of the broader economic modernization process.

👀 THE KEY QUESTION NOW:
Will Iraq continue implementing these reforms and turn agreements into measurable improvements in revenue collection, transparency, banking, and economic diversification?

If that progress continues, it could strengthen the economic foundation that would be important for any future currency reform. 🇮🇶💪💵

One reform at a time, Iraq continues building its financial foundation. 🔥📈

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi received the Commander of United States Central Command, General Charles Brad Cooper, on Wednesday, explicitly confirming September 30 as the final, non-negotiable deadline for ending the military mission of the U.S.-led international coalition and completing the exit of foreign troops from Iraqi territory.

🇮🇶🔥 IRAQ’S BIGGEST TEST: FULL SOVEREIGNTY AFTER SEPTEMBER 30? 🪖🏦💰

🇮🇶 NEWS SUMMARY:
Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi confirmed September 30 as the final deadline for ending the U.S.-led coalition’s military mission and completing the withdrawal of foreign forces from Iraq. 🇺🇸➡️🇮🇶

But there is another development that makes this date even more interesting: Iraq is also working to place all weapons under state control, including those held by armed groups operating outside direct government control. 🪖🏛️

🔥 And this is where things get really interesting…

The al-Zaidi government is pushing for a law to place all weapons under state control, while Iraqi officials have warned that groups refusing to comply could face legal consequences.

The biggest obstacle, however, is that some Iran-backed militias are still resisting the idea of surrendering their weapons. That makes it very interesting to watch how Baghdad handles this challenge before and after September 30.

🔗 CONNECTING THE DOTS…

🇺🇸 September 30 → The U.S.-led coalition military mission ends.

🪖 September 30 → Deadline to advance toward exclusive state control of weapons.

🇮🇶 October 1 → Iraq enters a new phase in which it must take full responsibility for its own security.

And here is the chain of developments worth watching:

Greater military sovereignty
⬇️
State monopoly over weapons
⬇️
Stronger institutions
⬇️
Greater stability and state authority
⬇️
Stronger financial system
⬇️
💰 Economic & Monetary Reforms

⚠️ This does NOT automatically mean a monetary reform or an RV will happen. But these are structural changes that could contribute to a stronger Iraq and create a more solid foundation for future reforms.

And personally, I would be watching very closely what happens between September 30 and the first weeks of October. 👀🔥

That could be the period when we see whether Baghdad can truly turn its declarations about sovereignty and state control into concrete action.

🇮🇶💪 Iraq is entering a potentially very important phase for its future.
