"From the UN, we say to the world: invest in Iraq," stated Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi during his address to the 81st UN General Assembly in New York, highlighting the nation's untapped potential. "Iraq has resources, markets, a good location, and the necessary will to build a new economy."

๐ฎ๐ถ NEWS SUMMARY
Speaking at the UN, Iraqi PM Ali Faleh Al-Zaidi sent a clear message to the world: “Invest in Iraq.” He highlighted Iraq’s resources, large market, strategic location, and plans to build a new economy.
๐ WHY DOES THIS MATTER FOR IQD INVESTORS?
A stronger Iraqi economy requires more than oil. Iraq needs foreign investment, stronger banks, international financial integration, stability, and greater confidence in its currency.
๐ต MY OBSERVATION
For those watching the possibility of an IQD revaluation, this is an important development to monitor.
It does not confirm a future RV or a specific exchange rate. But it shows Iraq is actively positioning itself for greater international investment and economic integration—the kind of environment that could support a stronger and more credible dinar over time. ๐ฎ๐ถ๐

IRAQI DINAR STRENGHTENS AGAINST US DOLLAR FOLLOWING PRIME MINISTER'S US VISIT
Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faleh Al-Zaidi met with US financial institutions, banks, and President Donald Trump in New York and Washington.
Iraq’s Prime Minister Ali Falah Al-Zaidi met with U.S. financial institutions, banks, and President Donald Trump to discuss Iraq’s banking sector, financial reforms, and deeper integration with the international financial system.
๐ ANALYSIS
This is important because the Iraqi dinar is influenced not only by the official exchange rate, but also by market expectations.
When banks, investors, and currency traders see stronger financial cooperation between Iraq and the United States, expectations about Iraq’s economic stability can change. This can affect demand for dollars, the parallel-market exchange rate, and confidence in the dinar.
The key point is that expectations can move the parallel market before official policies fully take effect.
๐ MY OBSERVATION
This is a clear example of how stronger Iraq–U.S. financial relations can strengthen confidence in the Iraqi dinar.
If Iraq continues reforming its banking system, expanding international banking relationships, and narrowing the gap between the official and parallel exchange rates, confidence in the dinar could improve further.
Now, the key is watching whether these announcements translate into real changes in Iraq’s financial system and currency market. ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ต

๐ฎ๐ถ NEWS SUMMARY
Turkey and Iraq have reached an agreement that could represent an important shift in northern Iraq.
Ankara has agreed to gradually transfer the Bashiqa-Zilkan military base to Iraq’s federal government, while Baghdad advances security measures aimed at restoring full state authority in Sinjar (Shingal) and addressing the presence of armed groups in the area.
Meanwhile, Turkish media Hรผrriyet reports that around 2,200 members of the YBล (Sinjar Resistance Units) could disarm and be integrated into Iraq’s security institutions.
It is important to note that the figure of 2,200 comes from the Hรผrriyet report and is not specified in the official Turkish-Iraqi announcement.
๐ WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
Because Sinjar could become an example of how local armed groups can move from maintaining independent military structures toward operating under the authority of the Iraqi state.
And this is where I think the bigger significance lies.
If this process actually moves forward, it could send a message to other armed groups in Iraq: the country’s security should ultimately be concentrated under state institutions rather than divided among multiple armed centers of power.
This is particularly important for Baghdad, which has spent years balancing the presence of different armed forces within Iraq’s broader security system.
๐น๐ท AND THEN THERE IS TURKEY.
Turkey’s willingness to gradually reduce its military presence at Bashiqa-Zilkan and eventually hand the base over to Baghdad is also significant.
In practical terms, the agreement appears to connect two processes:
➡️ Greater Iraqi state authority in Sinjar
in exchange for
➡️ A gradual reduction of Turkey’s military presence in the area.
๐ MY OBSERVATION
What stands out to me most is the precedent this could create.
If Iraq succeeds in getting a force such as the YBล to disarm, integrate its members into official security institutions, and operate under state authority, Baghdad would have a concrete example it could point to when dealing with other armed organizations that still maintain their own military structures.
But there is an important caveat: announcing a disarmament agreement is one thing; actually implementing it is another.
The real test will be whether the weapons are genuinely surrendered, whether the fighters are successfully integrated, and whether Baghdad can maintain authority on the ground.
That is why I believe the significance of this story goes beyond the handover of one Turkish military base.
It could be the beginning of a broader discussion about who ultimately controls weapons and security in Iraq: the state, or multiple armed organizations operating alongside it.
If the Sinjar model works, it will be very interesting to see whether Baghdad can use it as a precedent for addressing the much broader issue of armed groups across Iraq. ๐ฎ๐ถ

๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฅ MNT GOAT: DISARMAMENT & THE PATH TO THE DINAR RV
๐ฐ WHAT IS MNT GOAT SAYING?
According to Mnt Goat, current news is focused on the possibility of extending the September 30 deadline for Iranian-backed armed factions to complete the disarmament process and place their weapons under the control of the Iraqi state.
๐ Mnt Goat also says this issue remains closely monitored by the United States and that Iraq needs to resolve it as part of the process leading toward the reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar.
๐ฌ Her analysis includes this statement:
“The apparent setback in the dismantling of armed factions in recent weeks may not mean the plan is over. It could simply be a political maneuver before the government’s September 30th deadline.”
๐ WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
According to information Mnt Goat says she receives from a contact within the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI), bringing weapons under state control and strengthening Iraqi sovereignty are among the matters Iraq is expected to complete before the CBI moves forward with the next stage of the dinar RV process.
๐ฎ๐ถ The process being described is:
๐ State control of weapons
➡️ ๐ก️ Greater sovereignty and stability
➡️ ๐ฐ Stronger economic confidence
➡️ ๐ข️ Better conditions for investment and energy
➡️ ๐ฆ Continued reforms
➡️ ๐ฑ The next stage of the dinar process
๐จ SEPTEMBER 30 REMAINS A DATE TO WATCH
The key question now is whether Iraq completes the requirements related to state control of weapons by the established deadline or whether an extension is used to allow the process to continue.
๐ For those of us following the RV, this is an important development to watch.
According to Mnt Goat’s CBI contact, Iraq is expected to complete this major sovereignty requirement before the CBI can move forward toward the next stage of the dinar process.
๐ฎ๐ถ๐ช Sovereignty. Stability. Reform. Dinar.
We continue watching every move coming out of Baghdad and the CBI.
