Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi announced during the Coordination Framework meeting that the formation of the national government cabinet is entering its final stages.
🚨🇮🇶 IRAQ’S GOVERNMENT FORMATION ENTERS THE FINAL STAGE! 🔥🏛️
Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi says the formation of Iraq’s national cabinet is entering its final stages, with several key ministries still awaiting completion.
In my opinion, completing the government is another important milestone for Iraq. 🇮🇶 A fully formed cabinet could provide greater political stability and strengthen the government’s ability to advance critical economic and financial reforms.
💰 For those watching the Iraqi dinar, this is another piece of the bigger picture. Political stability, institutional strength, and economic reforms are important foundations that need to be strengthened before any major currency reform or revaluation (RV) could realistically take place.
Iran has reportedly urged Iraqi armed factions to halt attacks against Saudi Arabia and pursue diplomatic channels, according to Iraqi political official Abdul Rahman al-Jazairi.
Jazairi told Kurdistan24 that IRGC figures conveyed the message to Badr Organization chief Hadi al-Amiri, with groups including Harakat al-Nujaba, Kata'ib Hezbollah and Abu Ala al-Walai reportedly urged to refrain from military action.
He also alleged undisclosed talks over a possible future US withdrawal from Iraq, linked to guarantees that armed groups place weapons under state control and halt drone operations from Iraqi territory.
🇮🇷🇮🇶 IRAN’S INFLUENCE OVER IRAQI MILITIAS — WHAT DOES THIS REALLY REVEAL?
According to Iraqi political official Abdul Rahman al-Jazairi, Iran has reportedly urged Iraqi armed factions to stop attacks against Saudi Arabia and pursue diplomatic channels instead. 🇮🇷🤝🇸🇦
Reports indicate that IRGC figures conveyed the message to Badr Organization leader Hadi al-Amiri, with groups such as Harakat al-Nujaba, Kata’ib Hezbollah, and factions linked to Abu Ala al-Walai reportedly being urged to avoid military action.
There are also claims of discussions surrounding a possible future U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, potentially connected to guarantees that armed groups place their weapons under state control and stop launching drone operations from Iraqi territory. 🇮🇶🛡️
🔎 BUT HERE IS WHAT I FIND MOST INTERESTING...
Why would Iran have to ask — or instruct — Iraqi militias to stop attacking Saudi Arabia?
That question itself reveals something significant.
If these reports are accurate, it demonstrates that Tehran maintains a powerful channel of influence over some of Iraq’s most prominent Iran-aligned armed factions. 🇮🇷➡️🇮🇶
And this is the key distinction:
🇮🇶 Baghdad asking the militias to stop would demonstrate Iraqi government authority.
But...
🇮🇷 Tehran communicating the message that the militias should stop suggests that Iran still possesses significant leverage over certain armed groups operating inside Iraq.
That raises a much bigger question:
🇮🇶 WHO REALLY HAS THE FINAL WORD OVER THE WEAPONS INSIDE IRAQ?
The Iraqi state — or armed factions with external relationships?
This is why the discussion about placing weapons under state control is so important. If Iraq succeeds in bringing all armed groups under the authority of the state, it would represent a major step toward:
🛡️ Stronger Iraqi sovereignty 🇮🇶 Greater government authority 🕊️ More regional stability 🤝 Better relations with neighboring countries 💼 A stronger environment for investment 📈 Greater economic confidence
The deeper issue is not simply Iran vs. Saudi Arabia or Iran vs. the United States.
The bigger issue is whether Iraq can ultimately control what happens on Iraqi soil.
If Baghdad can establish that the Iraqi state — and not external powers or independent armed factions — has the final authority over weapons and security decisions, that could be a major turning point for Iraq. 🇮🇶🔥
ARTICLE 140 IS THE KEY: Prime Minister Masrour Barzani Reaffirms Constitutional Resolution for “Disputed Territories “
Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani highlighted the critical role of the Iraqi Constitution in resolving longstanding disputes, stating that many major security and political issues could have been resolved through the full implementation of Article 140.
----
🚨🇮🇶 ARTICLE 140 & HCL: TWO CRITICAL PIECES OF IRAQ’S PUZZLE! 🧩🔥
Kurdistan Region PM Masrour Barzani is once again highlighting the importance of fully implementing Article 140 of Iraq’s Constitution to resolve the long-standing “disputed territories” issue.
According to Barzani, many political and security problems could have been addressed if Article 140 had been fully implemented. 🇮🇶⚖️
And this is why I believe his continued push is so important! 👇
💥 The Hydrocarbon Law (HCL) and Article 140 remain two major unresolved pieces in Iraq’s broader political and economic framework.
🛢️ The HCL could establish clearer rules for oil and gas management, exports, responsibilities, and revenue sharing between Baghdad and Erbil.
📍 Article 140 addresses the constitutional process for resolving the status of disputed territories.
💰 Together, these issues are connected to Iraq’s political stability, resource management, revenue distribution, and long-term economic development.
🔥 In my opinion, it’s encouraging to see Barzani continuing to push for these issues to be completed and approved. These are important pieces that need to be resolved as Iraq moves toward greater economic and financial integration.
📌 For those watching the Iraqi dinar RV story, this is where connecting the dots becomes interesting. I believe these outstanding reforms are important steps that should be completed before any major revaluation of the Iraqi dinar.
🇮🇶 We may be getting closer—but the key is to keep watching the actual reforms, legislation, and implementation.
🧩 CONNECT THE DOTS. Stay focused. Keep watching. The pieces are moving! 🚀💪

"WE NEED A MODERN OIL & GAS LAW": Prime Minister Masrour Barzani Highlights outdated 1975 Legislation
In an exclusive interview with Al Jazeera, Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani emphasized the urgent need for Iraq to enact a comprehensive federal Hydrocarbon Law, revealing that current energy sector regulations in Iraq still rely on legislation dating back to 1975.

🚨🇮🇶 IRAQ’S OIL SECTOR NEEDS A MODERN LEGAL FRAMEWORK! 🛢️📜
Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani is highlighting a major issue facing Iraq’s energy sector: the country still operates under oil and gas legislation dating back to 1975.
In an interview with Al Jazeera, Barzani emphasized the urgent need for a comprehensive federal Hydrocarbon Law that reflects Iraq’s modern economic and energy realities. 🇮🇶⚖️
For years, disputes between Baghdad and Erbil have centered around oil exports, control of resources, revenues, and the responsibilities of both sides. A modern federal law could establish clearer rules for how these issues are managed.
🛢️ Who controls the resources?
📤 How should oil exports be handled? 💰 How should revenues be distributed? 🤝 What responsibilities belong to Baghdad and Erbil? ⚖️ What legal framework should govern Iraq’s energy sector?
These questions remain critical for Iraq’s long-term economic stability.
A unified and modern Oil & Gas Law could potentially provide greater legal certainty, reduce recurring disputes, improve investment conditions, and create a clearer path for cooperation between the federal government and the Kurdistan Region.
This does not mean a new law has already been approved. Rather, Barzani’s comments highlight the continuing push for a federal framework capable of resolving these long-standing issues.
🇮🇶 Iraq’s energy future may depend not only on how much oil it produces, but also on having clear and modern rules governing that oil.
