9 ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF STATE-CONTROLLED WEAPONS – EXPERT AL-HASHEMI
9 ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF STATE-CONTROLLED WEAPONS – EXPERT AL-HASHEMI (AND THESE BENEFITS CAN INCREASE)
“From a crisis economy to a planning economy”
Economic expert Ziad Al-Hashemi said that the Iraqi state will achieve significant economic gains by getting rid of loose weapons, explaining that this step will raise Iraq’s status and place it among countries with true sovereignty. He added that countries will give greater value to the Iraqi government after it gets rid of loose weapons and will deal with it with greater confidence.
Iraq will have a pivotal role through which it can enter into strategic alliances and new economic partnerships. Al-Hashemi also stressed that the Iraqi economy will transform from a crisis economy to a planned economy through comprehensive development plans, and he listed 9 benefits, saying that they are subject to increase according to developments.
Al-Hashemi’s Facebook post:
- Restoring Iraqi sovereignty by eliminating loose weapons will yield significant economic gains, freeing Iraq from the grip of uncontrolled arms dealers and elevating its standing among truly sovereign nations. One nation, one people, one army—this is the motto and objective that stable states strive for, uphold, and maintain. It is a fundamental condition that grants these nations the immunity and opportunity to strengthen their stability, sovereignty, and political, economic, and security standing.
- Countries will give greater value to the Iraqi government after it gets rid of loose weapons, and will deal with it with greater confidence. Iraq will have a greater pivotal role through which it can enter into strategic alliances and new economic partnerships, which were not possible to achieve with weapons in the hands of non-governmental groups!
- An Iraq without loose armed groups will transform the Iraqi economy from a crisis economy to a planned economy, as Iraq will be able to develop and implement comprehensive development plans away from the control and influence of those groups. This is a strategic goal that previous governments failed to achieve, one of the most important reasons being the presence of weapons outside the control of the state!
- Eliminating loose weapons outside the official armed forces will greatly reduce the costs of risks surrounding the Iraqi economy and will enhance the possibility of capital and investments entering Iraq.
- The private sector will find ample space and a promising market for work, expansion and production, and new projects and innovative ideas will enter that will enhance the emerging business sector and the services sector, which the Iraqi economy desperately needs.
- Furthermore, the government’s monopoly on weapons will strongly contribute to weakening corruption, which has been reinforced and spread by loose weapons throughout the past decades and up to the present day through the imposition of levies, commissions and sharing of contracts!
- Enforcing the law with only one weapon in the hands of the government will contribute to achieving civil peace and social justice, end the militarization of society, and open the door to ambition for new generations and the development of their skills to keep pace with developments in the labor market!
- Strategic projects such as the development road can see the light after getting rid of loose weapons, and this will contribute to attracting global industries and supply chains to benefit from this project and establish their projects and centers inside Iraq.
- With the elimination of the loose weapons of the groups and their economic offices, the phenomenon of dollar smuggling, money laundering, and support for sanctioned entities and countries will end, and the Central Bank of Iraq and the government will be able to restrict and reduce these operations to the lowest level, thus preserving national wealth from being lost.
- Oil and commercial smuggling operations and the exploitation of border crossings will decrease to the lowest level after getting rid of loose weapons, and trade will turn into a stable normal situation, which will allow it to be strengthened and the returns achieved for the government to be improved.
These are some of the gains, and there are certainly other gains that we did not have the space to mention, but in any case, Iraq will not see a glimmer of hope or a light without the presence of one official weapon, as the economy does not grow with the presence of loose guns, but rather it deteriorates silently!
When that is achieved, and the economy and Iraq are freed from the grip of loose weapons, then we can say that Iraq has truly begun to stand on its own two feet and walk on the right path, after many years of paralysis and ailments!
Therefore, any incoming prime minister must realize that the success of his government depends on getting rid of loose armed groups and not allowing them to roam with their weapons around his government ministries, as this is a recipe for the failure of his government and a grave danger to the future of Iraq and the fate of its people!
MNT GOAT: Trump’s Envoy Sends a Strong Message to Iraq as 2026 Begins
The Savaya Manifesto, Parliamentary Conflict, and the Coming Test for Iraq
Knowing everything we have discussed so far, it is now critical to understand what happens next.
Trump’s envoy to Iraq is expected to arrive soon, and before even setting foot in Baghdad, he has already outlined clear expectations from the White House. These expectations were delivered formally in a letter to Iraqi leadership ahead of his visit.
An article titled:
“TRUMP’S ENVOY BEGINS 2026 WITH A STRONG MESSAGE TO THOSE WHO ‘WROUGHT HAVOC IN IRAQ’: YOUR TIME IS UP. HE OUTLINED A LIST OF 18 OBJECTIVES.”
sets the tone for what could be one of the most decisive years in modern Iraqi history.
Mark Savaya’s Message to Iraq
A White House Warning Disguised as a New Year Greeting
Mark Savaya, U.S. President Donald Trump’s envoy to Iraq, issued a New Year 2026 message to the Iraqi people expressing hope that this year will mark the end of:
Instability
Looting of national wealth
Poor public services
Uncontrolled weapons
Smuggling
Unemployment
Militias
Money laundering
Corruption
Poverty
Foreign interference
All forms of injustice and lawlessness
This is not just rhetoric.
This is what I call the Savaya Manifesto for Iraq — a clear outline of what the White House expects before Iraq can move forward politically or economically.
Savaya addressed his message directly:
“To those who have spread corruption in the land of Iraq — your time is over. The time of Iraq and the Iraqis has begun.”
He concluded with a telling statement:
“We are still at the beginning.”
No Rumors. No Hype. Just Facts.
Let’s now connect this message to what is actually happening inside Iraq, using verified reporting — their words, not mine.
Parliamentary Chaos Before the Swearing-In
A Direct Challenge to the U.S. and the Iraqi Constitution
Another key article reads:
“PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION PRECEDES SWEARING-IN SESSION; VOTE ON PARLIAMENTARY SPEAKER ENTERS A PHASE OF CONTROVERSY.”
A parliamentary source revealed deep divisions ahead of the session to elect parliamentary leadership. MPs from several blocs openly refused to follow party directives, signaling an undisciplined and chaotic vote.
Then came the bombshell.
The Election of the Speaker
Do You See the Conflict?
An article titled:
“THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTS HEBAT AL-HALBOUSI AS ITS SPEAKER.”
confirmed that Halbousi was elected Speaker of Parliament.
Here is the problem:
Halbousi is Iranian-aligned
He is reportedly filtered in by militia influence
He is linked to Iranian Quds Force interests
This is a direct contradiction to:
U.S. demands
Iraq’s own constitution
The stated goals of sovereignty
Do you see the conflict now?
A Familiar Pattern: Election Rigging & Foreign Influence
What we are witnessing in Iraq mirrors what many have already seen elsewhere:
Election manipulation
Placement of foreign-aligned officials
A democratic façade masking external control
Iran is attempting to turn Iraq into a deep-rooted proxy state, just as it has done elsewhere.
This is not democracy.
This is manipulated governance.
Featured Snippet: Why This Matters
Why is the U.S. pressuring Iraq so strongly in 2026?
Because Iraq is drifting away from its constitutional foundations, allowing foreign-backed militias and officials to dominate parliament, threatening sovereignty, security, and economic reform.
Democracy vs Constitutional Republic
The Core Issue Few Want to Discuss
Both the United States and Iraq were founded as constitutional republics, not pure democracies.
A constitutional republic:
Limits power through a constitution
Uses elections to choose leaders
Requires elected officials to obey foundational law
A pure democracy:
Is vulnerable to manipulation
Relies on emotion and fear
Has weak checks and balances
Can be hijacked through fraud
History proves that unchecked democracy often leads to centralized power, corruption, and authoritarian control.
Iraq’s Fatal Mistake
Iraq has drifted away from its 2005 constitution, leaving itself exposed.
As a result:
Iran has easily infiltrated parliament
Militias have gained political legitimacy
Massive voter fraud has gone largely unreported
The question now is simple:
Will Iraq return to constitutional rule — or face consequences?
The Trump Administration’s Role
A Lesson Incoming
The vulnerability of Iraq’s current political system is exactly why the Trump administration is preparing to apply maximum pressure.
Savaya’s message is not symbolic.
It is a warning.
The White House is signaling:
Compliance or consequences
Sovereignty or sanctions
Reform or isolation
Q&A Section
Q: Who is Mark Savaya?
A: He is President Trump’s envoy to Iraq, tasked with enforcing U.S. expectations regarding sovereignty, security, and reform.
Q: What are the 18 objectives mentioned?
A: They target corruption, militias, foreign interference, and economic crimes undermining Iraq’s stability.
Q: Why is the Speaker election controversial?
A: Because of alleged Iranian militia influence and violations of constitutional norms.
Q: How does this affect the RV?
A: Currency reform cannot proceed without constitutional governance, stability, and U.S. approval.
Final Thoughts
A Defining Moment for Iraq
The fate of a constitutional republic is decided by its founding principles — not by mob rule, manipulated elections, or foreign interference.
Iraq now stands at a crossroads.
The message from Washington is clear:
Your time is over. Reform begins now.
What happens next will determine:
Iraq’s sovereignty
Its economic future
The timing of full international reintegration

MNT GOAT
Knowing all this let me explain that Trump’s envoy is due to Iraq soon and he already outlines expectations from the Whitehouse in his letter to Iraq prior to his visit. Take a look at the article titled “TRUMP’S ENVOY BEGINS 2026 WITH A STRONG MESSAGE TO THOSE WHO “WROUGHT HAVOC IN IRAQ”: YOUR TIME IS UP. HE OUTLINED A LIST OF 18 OBJECTIVES.”
Mark Savaya, US President Donald Trump’s envoy to Iraq, sent a congratulatory message to the Iraqi people on the occasion of welcoming the year 2026. In his message, he expressed his hope that 2026 will be the year of the end of instability, the plundering of the country’s wealth, poor services, uncontrolled weapons, smuggling, unemployment, militias, money laundering, corruption, poverty, foreign interference, and all other manifestations of injustice and circumvention of the law.
Here is what I call the Savaya manifesto for Iraq from the Whitehouse:
He added that this message is directed “to those who have spread corruption in the land of Iraq,” stressing that “your time is over and the time of Iraq and the Iraqis has begun,” and emphasizing that Iraq will remain a flag raised high and a source of pride for all its people.
Savaya concluded his message by saying, “We are still at the beginning.
_____________________________
So, now let’s engage the articles further and see how they play out in what I have just told you. This is their words not mine, No rumors, No hype and No opinions. Just the FACTS!
Another recent article titled “PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION PRECEDES SWEARING-IN SESSION; VOTE ON PARLIAMENTARY SPEAKER ENTERS A PHASE OF CONTROVERSY.” A parliamentary source revealed on Monday that there is a clear division within the Iraqi parliament, ahead of the swearing-in session, regarding the election of the parliament’s leadership. Oh boy, oh boy this one is really going against the US Whitehouse and the Iraqi constitution. Pay attention to what just happened….
The source told Shafaq News Agency that “a number of MPs from political blocs, especially within the coordination framework, do not intend to abide by the directives of the heads of blocs and parties regarding voting on the candidates for Speaker of Parliament and his deputies, which threatens an undisciplined vote during the session.”
See article titled “THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTS HEBAT
AL-HALBOUSI AS ITS SPEAKER.” The voting process to elect the Speaker of the House of Representatives has concluded yesterday, Monday. Halbousi is an Iranian filtered in by the militia. He is a member of the Iranian Kud forces. Just so you know. Do you see the conflict here? The problem here?
So, in Iraq we are seeing the same kind of rigging of elections and the placement of officials in office to influence the direction of the country to a deep-rooted Iranian proxy. We witnessed this too in the U.S. and so obvious now in the Mamdani election results as mayor of NYC. They want our countries!
This fake façade of democracy is being exposed and will continue. Remember that a country cannot survive on a democratic form of government. The U.S. along with Iraq are constitutional republics not democracies. They rely on democratic principles only to elect governing bodies and its procedures. These bodies must abide by the constitution not whatever the people want or these elected officials want. They don’t get to decide, get it? We only need to go so far as to see Ihan Omar and Rashid Talib as examples and how they think about mass immigration and how they represent their districts. They really do not understand how it all should work.
Here is the most important part of what we see taking place today:
The fate of a country in a constitutional republic has already been decided by its founding fathers, and for a very good reason. They use history lessons learned from the past. They learned that straight, full-blown democracies don’t work and never have.
These so-called democracies only lead to social communism Marxism, which always leads to dictatorships and a concentration of all the power in the hands of a few at the very top. Since they have power at the top, a concentration of wealth flows in the same direction. Thus, the people do not have access to the top unless they are just as corrupt and fight for it. Folks, it’s proven human nature. There is no such thing as a utopian, perfect society.
So you are only fooling yourself and doing yourself a great injustice if you think democracy is the answer to all our political problems. Just see what is now going on in Iraq as a very good example. They have stepped away from the 2005 founding constitution for their new republic. Just look at how Iran is able to so easily manipulate them because of it. They has massive voter fraud in this last election. Did the news media even cover it? Will they stand firm to their constitution? The Trump administration is about to give them a lesson!
This is because of the ‘vunerability’ of a purist democracy as it is subject to lies, manipulation and fraud to get in power and stay in power. They tell the people only what they want to hear. They involve emotions and fear. There are no checks and balances. Whatever the majority wants they get.
But who decides these issues and who manipulates the people’s vote to give the essence of a fair election. The end result is exactly the opposite of what the people actually aspired and thought they were going to get when they kept hearing the term ‘democracy’ from the candidates. I can’t even list over the last hundreds of years how this has proven true in so many countries. They always resort to these same tactics to gain power.
We see the democrats today always shouting about our democracy in jeopardy. Really? But really, if they did care, which they don’t, they would be shouting instead about the real abuses of our Constitutional Republic. And don’t get me wrong in that there are also still many republican rhinos too that are either ignorant, as to how our should actually government work, or they know and have another agenda in mind.
SUDANI: ENDING THE UN MISSION MEANS THAT IRAQI INSTITUTIONS HAVE DELIVERED THE BEST LEVELS OF PERFORMANCE
SUDANI: ENDING THE UN MISSION MEANS THAT IRAQI INSTITUTIONS HAVE DELIVERED THE BEST LEVELS OF PERFORMANCE
Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani expressed his gratitude on Saturday to the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), stressing that the end of its work means that Iraqi institutions have provided the best levels of performance.
In a statement received by the Mail, the Sudanese office said, “Today, the Sudanese received the Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Mr. Mohammed Al-Hassan, on the occasion of the end of his duties in Iraq and the termination of the work of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq/UNAMI.”
According to the statement, Al-Sudani expressed his “gratitude to Al-Hassan and to all those who worked in the mission, for the assistance they provided to Iraq in various fields throughout its duration, from the fall of the dictatorial regime until today.”
The Prime Minister affirmed, “The relationship between Iraq and the international organization will continue, as will the bilateral programs on which cooperation is taking place, and that ending the work of the UNAMI mission means that the Iraqi state institutions have been able to provide the best levels of performance in carrying out their constitutional and legal duties, in a step that enhances national sovereignty.”
For his part, Al-Hassan praised “what has been achieved in Iraq during the past years of the government’s work, and the important steps that contributed to reaching this day, noting the keenness to continue working with Iraq in various programs.”
MNT GOAT: Status of the RV – What’s Really Holding It Back in 2026?
Status of the RV – What’s Really Holding It Back in 2026?
Iraq, Militias, U.S. Pressure, and the Bigger Picture Ahead
If you were saving a bottle of champagne for the RV, you might want to drink it now and welcome the New Year 2026. Once the political mess between Washington, Baghdad, and Tehran is finally resolved, there will always be time to buy another bottle.
As we step into 2026, many are asking the same question:
What will this new year truly bring?
A New Year’s Wish for 2026
Exposure, Accountability, and Justice
Let 2026 be a year of:
Greater exposure of corruption
True accountability for those responsible
Justice prevailing, as promised
Let it bring:
A truly sovereign Iraq
A sovereign United States
Nations that embrace freedom, liberty, and justice
The long-awaited Great Wealth Transfer, accompanied by happiness, abundance, and prosperity
Across the globe, we are witnessing changes daily. These shifts are not accidental — they are systemic.
The Prophetic Perspective & the Wealth Transfer
Recent prophecies shared by Julie Green continue to point toward what she calls “The Great Exodus Wealth Transfer” (December 27th).
The comparison to the biblical Exodus is striking:
A long wait
Discouragement among the people
Temptation to abandon hope
A promise delayed, but not denied
Just as many Israelites wandered for forty years before reaching the Promised Land, the RV journey has now stretched beyond two decades. The lesson remains the same:
Do not lose focus on the promise by obsessing over temporary setbacks.
Why the RV Was Expected — and Why It Stalled
The Project to Delete the Zeros
According to sources within the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI), the Project to Delete the Zeros was expected to begin around December 29. Preparations included:
Public educational videos aired inside Iraq
Planned website updates from the CBI
Explanations of currency swaps
Introduction of lower denominations
Yet the process stalled.
☹ Why?
The Real Reason Behind the Delay
Militias, U.S. Mandates, and Political Resistance
While some Iraqi Shiite factions expressed willingness to:
Lay down arms
Place forces under central security authority
…at least two factions refused.
This refusal halted progress.
A revealing article titled:
“Sources Close to the White House: Trump’s Envoy Now Has a Clear Plan for the Priorities of Dialogue with the New Iraqi Government”
confirms that security compliance is non-negotiable before Iraq can move forward financially.
Stability Is Non-Negotiable for an RV
Despite the delay, it’s important to note:
2025 marked the highest level of stability and security in Iraq since 2003
No major bombings
Iraq stayed out of the Israel–Iran conflict
Reforms accelerated
Iraq moved closer to full globalization
These are key prerequisites for international currency reinstatement.
The Militia Problem Gets Worse
Parliamentary Infiltration After Elections
Post-election developments created new challenges:
Iranian-aligned militia members won parliamentary seats
Some were sworn in despite constitutional violations
The U.S. strongly objected
Worse yet, a Kataib Hezbollah-affiliated member openly declared loyalty to the Popular Mobilization Forces, not Iraq itself, and vowed to pass the PMF law — again.
This law would:
Legalize militias nationwide
Fund them through the state
Turn Iraq into an Iranian proxy
All while these groups sit on the global terrorist list.
Featured Snippet: Why the RV Is Delayed
Why hasn’t the Iraqi dinar RV happened yet?
The RV is stalled due to unresolved militia influence, Iranian interference in Iraqi politics, and U.S. demands for full security compliance before allowing international financial reintegration.
Could the U.S. Allow a Reinstatement Under These Conditions?
Former Trump advisor Gabriel Souma warned that Iraq could face:
Severe economic penalties
Currency devaluation
“Unprecedented measures”
He even suggested a scenario where one U.S. dollar could equal bags of dinars, highlighting how serious the threat is.
The message is clear:
The U.S. will not allow a reinstated dinar under militia-controlled governance.
Hope on the Horizon: Iran’s Weakening Grip
Despite the setbacks, hope remains.
Iran is now:
Facing internal unrest
On the brink of potential regime change
Losing influence across the region
If Iran falls or weakens significantly:
Iraqi militias could collapse or cooperate
Parliament could pass retroactive laws banning foreign-aligned officials
Elections could be re-run
Iraq could finally meet international standards
This would radically change everything.
Q&A: RV Status for 2026
Q: Is the RV canceled?
A: No. It is delayed due to political and security conditions, not abandoned.
Q: What is the main obstacle right now?
A: Iranian-backed militias refusing to comply with U.S. and Iraqi security mandates.
Q: Can Iraq move forward without U.S. approval?
A: Realistically, no — not while the economy remains dollar-dependent.
Q: Could things change quickly?
A: Yes. A shift in Iran could cause militias to collapse almost overnight.
Final Thoughts
Faith, Focus, and the Bigger Picture
This journey has never been easy. Disappointment is real — and shared. But history shows that the greatest breakthroughs often come after the longest delays.
Miracles happen every day.
This saga is not over.
Stay focused on what is promised — not on temporary obstacles.

STATUS OF THE RV
About your RV champagne. If I were you, I would drink your champagne to celebrate the new year. You can always get another bottle once we sort out this mess in Iraq between Washington and Iran.
I sincerely wish everyone a Happy New Year 2026.
What will this new year bring?
- Let it be a year of more EXPOSURE of corruption and just as important, ACCOUNTABLITY for those involved. God says JUSTICE will triumph.
- Let it bring a truly sovereign Iraq, United States and all other nations who embrace freedom, liberty and justice.
- Let it bring the great Wealth Transfer, with Happiness, Abundance and Prosperity.
In today’s prophecies by Julie Green I am amazed once again at what God is telling us to expect for 2026. Well…. to be honest, I am not surprised, just amazed, because I know God’s Hand is working in both the U.S., Iraq and in many other countries. We see the changes every day.
Julie tells us today that “The Great Exodus Wealth Transfer Is Coming”, a prophecy from Dec 27th. Click here for LINK to watch it. Yes, our RV is part of the transfer and there are still elements that do not want us to have it. If you go back to the great exodus from Egypt comparisons can be made to what we are now experiencing in modern times. It is almost weird in a sense. Many of the Israelites simply gave up hope and took up satanic-like worship instead of following God’s path to the promise land of Israel. They had to wonder around in the desert for 40 years before God gave them what was promised. We need to not give up and follow the path that God is laying out for us. Oh… it’s over twenty years already for our RV. I certainly hope God does not plan to make us wait forty years….lol.. lol.. lol.. Yes, there has been discouragement, and I can’t say it has ended. I can honestly say I too am discouraged at what is taking place in Iraq. But we must concentrate on what we want and not what we are seeing. We must focus and pray for it.
In fact, the entire middle east is going to change, just wait for it. Already we see Iran on the brink of a regime change. I thought I would never see this for years to come… but here it is now just as the God told the prophets it would.
Yesterday I had my call to Iraq, and so today I want to share what is going to happen in terms of our RV. As you may recall my contact in the CBI is on the committee responsible for orchestrating the Project to Delete the Zeros. I was told this project was supposed to kick off on Dec 29th and was stalled. This past weekend Iraq even aired videos about the swap out and the CBI was expected to update their official web site with explanations of the swap out and descriptions of the newer lower denominations.
In this article we find why the RV was stalled. It is titled “SOURCES CLOSE TO THE WHITE HOUSE: TRUMP’S ENVOY NOW HAS A CLEAR PLAN FOR THE PRIORITIES OF DIALOGUE WITH THE NEW IRAQI GOVERNMENT.” It this news we find out that a number of Iraqi Shiite factions announced their willingness to relinquish their weapons and place their arms and personnel under the authority of the central security forces in Baghdad. This was all wonderful news for us. But here is the bad news à However, the process is not yet complete, due to the refusal of at least two factions and several Shiite elements to accept the new reality and not lay down their arms.
I know, I know this is a disappointment and I too share it along with you. I was told we can expect an article in the news from the CBI soon on this topic of postponement.
We all know that Iraq needs STABILITY and SECURITY. Iraq seemingly has had the highest levels 2025 of both since 2003. We read many articles on this as evidence. We did not witness any bombings and Iraq kept out of the Israeli vs Iran conflict too. We witnessed the reforms and then articles telling us Iraq was ready to move to the next stage of which was the last remaining steps of full globalization and partnerships with many countries around the world.
However, don’t be too disappointed that things are stalled as I am hearing from the CBI that this all may still work out and has to work out somehow. Iraq is ready for this next move to international status and Iran is certainly now going to prevent it. Does this mean the CBI will go ahead even in the midst of these militias and Iranian influence. No, I did not say this. These Iranian influences must first be squashed and neutralized. You may ask what is holding up the RV this time. So, lets review and get into even more details.
We learned that a few of the militia factions residing in Iraq refused to lay down their arms when mandates came from the U.S. to do so. To make the situation even worst the Iranian militia members were on the ballot in many provinces and won their elections. Where the elections rigged? It would not surprise me. They were recently sworn in to parliament, again in disregard to U.S. objections. There is a very good article today on the militia’s response to these U.S. mandates concerning them and what the U.S. might do next if they do not cooperate. It is titled “TRUMP’S FORTUNE TELLER PROMISES IRAQIS “DAYS THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE,” AND THE FACTIONS RESPOND FROM PARLIAMENT: “WELCOME TO DEATH!”. Please go read it …. If this is not satanic, I don’t know what is!
As the Iraqi parliament held its first session, electing a deputy speaker affiliated with the factions, Washington was simultaneously outlining an unprecedented punitive strategy. Yes, they boldly really did this in defiance of the U.S. and Iraqi’s own constitution. Former Trump advisor Gabriel Souma, described as an “expert on the inner workings of the White House and Trump’s policies, “went so far as to warn of a potential moment when Iraqis might find themselves buying the equivalent of one dollar for “five bags” of Iraqi dinars.” Yes, it’s not going to be pretty for Iraq.
So here is the problem as it evolves. Post election we find there is yet even more Iranian militia men appointed into the Iraqi parliament in disregard to their constitutional requirements for any member. There is also the mandate by the US government to have none in the government. Between this catastrophic scenario and a parliament, where a member of Kataib Hezbollah declared his “loyalty to the Popular Mobilization Forces” (thus Iran and not to Iraq) vowed to pass the PMF law despite Washington’s opposition. Do you remember this law from months ago? Let’s review it.
The U.S. pressured the existing parliament at that time, not to take up this law to a vote. At this time, it was shelved. The tension relaxed. So now these militias, after the election, have strongly infiltrated the parliament as a result of the November election and hope to pressure parliament to take up this bill again and pass it, thus making these militia legal throughout Iraq. This new bill would also fund these organizations. This would solidify the Iraq as a proxy state of Iranian just as Iran has done to Lebanon and Syria and just when Iran so desperately needs the funds. Keep in the back of your mind that the U.S. just recently declared these militias as terrorist organizations and are now on the global terrorist list.
So, Iraq appears to be heading toward a difficult test: an economy beholden to the dollar and a legislative body openly defying American demands. Do you think the U.S. is going to allow the dinar to be reinstated under these conditions? Just asking……
Gabriel Souma, a political commentator but not merely a political commentator; has long been presented as a professor of international law and an expert on Middle Eastern affairs. He has spoken on this subject matter of the militia in Iraq and what the US might do next. Today he speaks today in such definitive terms about “unprecedented measures” that Iraq will face if Mark Savaya fails to implement Trump’s demands in Baghdad, he is reflecting the prevailing mood within the president’s inner circle much more than offering a cold, academic analysis. This may become reality soon.
I guess our Christmas dream did not happen on the original targeted plan of the CBI. Remember that the GOI always seems to be playing catch-up to the CBI. We must continue to pray. Miracles do happen every day and so this saga with Iran is not yet over. If you go to my Political Section today in the Newsletter you can access many videos on just what is really happening in Iran right now. It is not a pretty situation and most likely a regime change is coming VERY SOON. This news is filtered by the mainstream channels and is not broadcasted much in the US, if at all.
We must ask how this will change the dynamics and attitudes of the Iranian militia within Iraq, if Iran should fall. This could be devastating for these militias and they very well could just collapse overnight and decide to cooperate with the US mandate. Once the militia are neutralized, there is less chance of terrorist repercussions from them if parliament then decides to pass a law banning foreigners from participating in the Iraqi government, then make it retroactive. This would cause the parliamentary elections to be re-run in many of the provinces. There must be stricter laws regarding who can serve in the parliament. It is much to loose and this is part of the current problem.
