The Truth About Deleting The 3 Zeros From The Dinar
The Truth About Deleting The 3 Zeros From The Dinar
The Dinar Den: 6-22-2026
For over a decade, the Iraqi dinar has remained a subject of intense interest within international currency circles. In a recent detailed analysis, Stephen—a seasoned investor who has followed the Iraqi economy since 2011—shared his insights via The Dinar Den regarding the current trajectory of the Iraqi Central Bank (CBI).
His discussion provides a necessary bridge between complex monetary policy and the practical expectations of those monitoring the region’s financial evolution.
The Truth About Deleting The 3 Zeros From The Dinar
The Dinar Den: 6-22-2026
For over a decade, the Iraqi dinar has remained a subject of intense interest within international currency circles. In a recent detailed analysis, Stephen—a seasoned investor who has followed the Iraqi economy since 2011—shared his insights via The Dinar Den regarding the current trajectory of the Iraqi Central Bank (CBI).
His discussion provides a necessary bridge between complex monetary policy and the practical expectations of those monitoring the region’s financial evolution.
One of the most critical points addressed in the video is the fundamental difference between a redenomination and a revaluation. To the casual observer, “removing the zeros” might sound like a singular event, but Stephen clarifies that these are two distinct economic paths. A redenomination is essentially a neutral event; it involves removing zeros from the currency (for example, replacing a 25,000-note with a 25-note) to simplify accounting and transactions. While this makes the currency easier to manage daily, it does not inherently increase the purchasing power or provide a windfall for investors.
In contrast, a revaluation (RV) involves an actual increase in the currency’s value relative to other global currencies. Stephen notes that while the two processes are different, they often become conflated in public discourse. Understanding this distinction is vital for any investor looking to maintain a grounded perspective on how Iraq’s monetary reform might actually manifest in the global market.
Investors often find themselves frustrated by official statements from the Central Bank of Iraq that appear to deny any upcoming changes to the exchange rate. However, Stephen suggests that these “denials” should be viewed through the lens of strategic communication. In the world of central banking, telegraphing a major currency move can lead to market volatility and speculation.
The CBI’s primary responsibility is to the Iraqi citizenry. By maintaining a public stance of “business as usual,” the bank can focus on educating the local population about new financial systems without triggering a premature international rush. Stephen characterizes these tactics not as deception, but as necessary disinformation designed to maintain stability during a transition period.
To provide context for Iraq’s current situation, the video draws a fascinating parallel to Kuwait’s monetary history in the early 1990s. Following the Gulf War, Kuwait faced a significant challenge: a massive amount of its currency had been stolen or smuggled out of the country. To rectify this and regain control over their money supply, Kuwait invalidated the old, stolen currency and issued new notes.
Stephen suggests that Iraq may be looking at a similar strategy. Given the concerns regarding smuggled and illicitly held dinars, a transition to new currency notes could serve as a “reset” button. This would allow the CBI to shrink the circulating money supply and ensure that only legitimately held funds are recognized in a new economic era.
If Iraq moves forward with a currency change, what does that look like? Stephen outlines several scenarios, with the most probable being a “coexistence” period. In this model, new notes would be introduced alongside the old currency for a set timeframe, allowing for a phased withdrawal of the outdated bills.
This process is expected to be far more rigorous than past currency swaps. With Iraq’s aggressive push toward digitizing its financial sector, the CBI now has the tools for enhanced traceability. Future exchanges may include stringent requirements such as mandatory bank deposits, serial number tracking, and “proof of funds” documentation. These measures are designed to curb money laundering and ensure that the transition benefits the formal economy rather than illicit actors.
The recent appointment of a new Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq is a signal that the government is seeking fresh momentum for its financial reforms. Stephen points out that new leadership often precedes significant policy shifts. As Iraq continues to integrate into the global financial system and strengthen its regulatory frameworks, the coming months could prove to be a pivotal chapter for the dinar.
For those following the Iraqi dinar, the message is clear: stay informed, stay grounded, and look beyond the surface-level headlines. The evolution of a nation’s currency is a marathon, not a sprint, and understanding the underlying mechanics of central banking is the best way to navigate the journey.

“Release of Gold Backed Currency?” by Danlboon – 6.22.26
As to when will we see the ‘new gold/asset-backed currency’ is still up in the air, the USTN, but it must (allegedly) be announced in the EBS and not wait for Trump to make the announcement on 4 July when he releases other info about the New Republic.
Ten business days left between now and then, so it is coming real quick for everyone to know about it and not just be hearsay or a political issue. The White Hats are (allegedly)pushing the limit for the EBS to be broadcast now and not have the 250th 4 July Anniversary to be in the blackout as well.

“On Tues. 16 June 2026 Congress passed a bill that prohibited the Cabal from producing the fiat digital dollar (because the new gold/asset-backed currency was already in place across 209 nations).”
“On Sat. 4 July 2026 President Trump would (allegedly) announce the new gold standard currency.”
If the 209 nations are waiting to use the New USA Republic currency, the USTN, then We The People here in the USA need to know it is real and not another hearsay currency that banks, businesses and customers alike may refuse to use or exchange with.
I have been watching the British Pound and the Euro compared to the exchange rate of the US Dollar and they are both coming closer at a quicker pace than in the past, but they are moving closer for sure, yet they still may not be in that close of rate we want when we all do exchange.
So we should just have a mandated 1:1 exchange rate for the different currencies along with the US Dollar to the New USTN. Just exchange now if you can make a gain for the American Note and not wait for the loss later.
On Mon. 22 June AM rates are:
Pound ₤1,000 = $1,324.21, when it comes to 1:1 you will lose $324.21
Euro €1,000 = $1,145.35, when it comes to 1:1 you will lose $145.35
IQD 1,000 = $0.76, don’t worry with this when it comes to 1:1 as you gain
This is if you have the US Dollar as your primary currency and just happen to use or need the others at that time and have some of them available.
When you make any travels to other countries between now and a week or so after the world wide exchange is made make sure you will have enough available funds to that then 1:1 rate exchange and not what the rates are going for now thinking you will have those extra funds later.

Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] OMAR: Zaidi said to us on the television we are moving towards implementing the project to delete the three zeros from the Iraqi currency with plans to issue a new Iraq currency in the coming period...This is all over the place... FRANK: it's time to raise the value of the Iraqi dinar because nobody's going to steal it this time... This is the day of miracles. This is what we've been waiting for, for them to make this speech. It comes directly from Zaidi...The time has come for the reality of your new exchange rate...
Jeff Alaq is not being fired. He's being re-positioned. Article quote: "Alaq's efforts during his tenure were praised." Which means he did a damn good job because he prepared for the rate change. He wasn't fired. It's how they're juggling personnel preparing, getting preparation steps done, to completely prepare for the rate change right in front of all of our faces...They're going to get rid of Saleh because he's older than dirt. They're going to put Alaq in there [economic advisor] because they praised his tenure ...while he was the central bank governor...You've got Trump Jr...the prime minister... putting the correct people in the correct spots.
Sandy Ingram We have excellent good news coming in from Iraq...The US is still engaged with Iraq and is laying out conditions rather than announcing sanctions. I don't think we understood that Iraq was that close to being placed under additional sanctions because of the militants who are armed within Iraq. The United States has laid out its demand and has said that the reforms that are being demanded are banking modernization, stronger government control and security improvement. That has to do with the Central Bank of Iraq being able to talk to banks globally. That is an indication that the US is on track to help Iraq adjust its currency...

FIVE QUESTIONS THAT COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING: MarkZ
Latest RV News, Iraq and Zim Breakthrough, Big Changes with MarkZ, June 2026
Jon Dowling and Chris Real World: 6-22-2026
In an ever-evolving global financial landscape, staying informed about geopolitical developments and currency reform is essential for those tracking potential shifts in the international market.
A recent episode of the Jon Dowling podcast offers a deep dive into these complex topics, featuring MarkZ, a veteran analyst of financial resets and currency revaluations.
The discussion provides a comprehensive look at the structural changes currently unfolding in Iraq and Zimbabwe, offering a nuanced perspective on what these reforms could mean for the future of global finance.
A primary focus of the conversation revolves around the systematic overhaul of the Iraqi Dinar. MarkZ clarifies that the current movement in Iraq involves more than a simple currency “lopping.” Instead, the country is pursuing a structural reform that includes the deletion of three zeros from the currency, backed by new legislative frameworks, updated tax codes, and rigorous financial regulations.
This process is positioned as a deliberate, legal path aimed at restoring the Iraqi Dinar’s international standing. While the podcast notes conflicting reports coming out of the Iraqi Central Bank and parliament, the consensus points to a genuine, ongoing effort to restructure the nation’s monetary system.
The discussion expands beyond economics into the volatile realm of geopolitics. The podcast touches on the internal political struggles in Iraq, particularly the tension between various factions and the efforts to diminish factional influence.
Furthermore, the episode analyzes the broader international picture, looking at the shifting dynamics between the U.S. and Israel, as well as the potential for strategic regional shifts. By connecting these historical and political threads, the analysts provide a backdrop for why these currency reforms are not happening in a vacuum, but are instead part of a much larger puzzle involving international security and economic peace processes.
Turning to the African continent, the episode explores the economic trajectory of Zimbabwe. MarkZ addresses common misconceptions surrounding Zimbabwean bonds, or “Zim bonds,” emphasizing that they are backed by gold and intended for humanitarian utility rather than being the worthless instruments some skeptics suggest.
The conversation also highlights reports of rising precious metal prices, citing data that suggests a significant increase in the valuation of gold and silver. This, coupled with political developments regarding the opposition leadership, paints a picture of a nation attempting to align its financial future with tangible, hard assets.
Throughout the episode, there is a recurring theme of patience and discernment. In an age of rapid information spread, the speakers urge listeners to remain grounded. They advise against getting caught up in the speculation of “imminent” payouts, emphasizing that the timing of such large-scale global events is often dictated by complex factors beyond any single person’s control.
By focusing on fundamental economic shifts rather than rumors, listeners are encouraged to adopt a more resilient and long-term view of their financial interests.
For those interested in following these developments as they unfold, the podcast serves as a valuable resource for tracking the intersection of diplomacy, precious metals, and currency policy. Whether you are a student of global economics or simply curious about the potential for a financial reset, this episode provides a wealth of information to help you navigate the complexities of today’s market.

MZ: Progress in Iraq, Iran and a sovereign update. The Mushroom ladies join us after the news today
MZ: On the rumor front the consensus is it could happen anywhere between now and the 4th….the extreme outliers think it will be by September. I believe it will be closer to the 4th.
MZ: There is a lot that happened this weekend.
MZ: Some of the Groups and Sovereigns are expecting the Indian Nations to be funded and released today or tomorrow. …I hear the money is positioned and they will be allowed to distribute and spend it this week. ….and even some of the bond contacts are telling me similar things.
MZ: I have a contact in one of the largest currency groups that was told on Sunday they will be traveling on Tuesday to get into place for this week. This is very hopeful but is it premature to say that the value has been changed yet……Maybe…but maybe not premature at all.
MZ: I am expecting a lot of movement this week based on what we heard over the weekend. I am getting a lot of chatter from sovereigns (Tier 3) and that is awesome. We have always been told soveriegns were among the very first to go
MZ: Should be sovereigns then full release of all the bond money and then CMKX, settlements, Prosperity packages…then us……It appears things may be moving. I am pretty upbeat about it
Member: How long for things to trickle down to us in 4b?
MZ: I was told maybe a week…which the timing would line up to early July 1st through 4th almost perfectly.
MZ: Cross your fingers and stay calm.
Member: This is old but possibly still valid……There are 5 Tiers of folks Exchanging. Tier 1-governments and royalty Tier 2-whales-elite with platforms of currency, corporations, etc. Tier 3-Admirals Group, American Indians, CMKX, large church groups (like the Mormons), etc. Tier 4-all the hundreds of thousands paying attention to intel - internet groups(all of us). Tier 5- those who never paid attn - the general public.
Member: per Frank26, he believe that between July 1st to July 5th we will see government formed, budget, HCL and the new rate.
MZ: Not sure if they will seat the government that quickly…but, its possible. I kinda think rate before then though. I still think before the 4th is the goal.
Member: Have you heard from your redemption center folks?
MZ: They did not work last weekend…but were told they would possibly work next weekend.
Member: Major happenings in Iraq over the weekend
MZ: “Priorities of the new Central Bank Governor : Implementing Oliver Wyman’s criteria is of utmost importance” An integrated banking system and no dollar restrictions. They also want us to know they will be managing the “Exchange Rate”
MZ: There is a lot of back and forth on this one. Similar to what we saw in Kuwait and China days before their last revaluations.
MZ: “Al-Aboudi: the government and the Central Bank adopt a flexible approach to the exchange rate” they are letting us know they can change it based on needs
MZ: Then the Iraqi government says “There are no plans to change the national currency or remove three zeros from the Iraqi dinar” at this time. We also heard this the morning Kuwait revalued.
MZ: We have the Iraqi government telling us one thing and the Central banks telling us another. We were told the RV is now in the hands of the Central Bank of Iraq and they do not need the government at all.
Member: Alan Greenspan, former U.S. Fed chair under 4 presidents dead at the age of 100.
Member: Will there be more than one 800 number?
MZ: There will be many…..probably one for each bank. There will be separate numbers for Europe, Indonesia….ect…….Banks will be competing for your business.
Member: Thanks so much Mark and mods….Everyone have a Marvelous Monday

Jeff They can't tell you if they plan to increase [the dinar exchange rate]. They've already revealed to us the new prime minister is going to Washington with 100 businessmen to prepare for the implementation of the strategic framework agreement between Iraq and the United States. That requires Iraq to have a tradable currency. You don't take 100 businessmen to discuss implementing business with the United States at a currency value of 1310 under US sanctions. You don't do that. Iraq needs to go there with a convertible tradable currency that has real regional value to it.
Reset Intelligence Iraq quietly handed its central bank to the man who spent his career hunting dirty money. The anti-fraud chief now runs the vault. You do not put a watchdog on the money supply unless you are about to count it. For the ones in the back saying nothing is happening, there sure seems to be a lot of fraudsters being taken down. Everywhere. All. At. Once.
Frank26 The government of Iraq is being strained. How many of you wanted Alaq to stick around? I'm sorry, he's gone. How many of you wanted Maliki to stick around? ..Sudani? They're gone, gone, gone, gone...Cockroaches...we're getting rid of them left and right...Did you like the way the CBI was being run? No, they overhauled it. Did you like the way the
government was being run? No. It's an overhaul...Every president before Trump gave money to...Iran. Of course you're not going to have your monetary reform. Trump is the first one that say, 'Play fair with our dollar.' ...That's why there's a major overhaul. It's a completely different Iraq. IMO it requires a completely different exchange rate...

Judy Note: No one knows the exact date for notification of appointments for Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) to exchange foreign currencies, but deadlines shown in the above Timing indicate it to be very soon. We have been told that Wells Fargo, which is controlled by the Chinese Elders – (the ones who own the gold behind the Global Currency Reset) – will send out emails to currency and bond holders worldwide telling them how to set redemption & exchange appointments. It is advised to exchange/redeem your foreign currency at an official Redemption Center (RC) rather than a bank. You can only (allegedly) redeem Zim at a RC, the Dinar Contract Rate can only(allegedly) be given at a RC and banks will offer you lower exchange rates than what you can obtain at a RC. You can only set up your new wallet (bank account) at a RC. It was my understanding that most banks were under control of the Cabal and would soon play a different role in the Global Financial System.

Stephen I'm expecting some HCL news to come out in the next 48 to 72 hours. That's probably one of the biggest topics that we are going to see some movement on. I believe the HCL is the precursor to the revaluation happening. Some say the revaluation will happen first and then the HCL law will be passed immediately after. It remains to be seen. But they are both very very closely connected.
Frank26 Alaq was the constipation. He was the one that was supplying Iran with money and not letting the prime minister of Iraq to play fair with the American dollar.
Ariel HCL – The Oil Revenue Lock That Makes Everything Fortunate...The Hydrocarbon Law is the sleeping giant...HCL centralizes strategic policy under a Federal Oil and Gas Council while giving regions input ending the independent KRG exports and smuggling that bled federal revenue. Once passed, budgets stabilize, oil money flows cleaner, and the dinar gets the collateral backbone it needs.
Mnt Goat Article: “MP: INITIAL UNDERSTANDINGS REACHED BETWEEN POLITICAL BLOCS AND THE PRIME MINISTER TO PASS THE OIL AND GAS LAW”. ...this recent article...reinforces once again the increased efforts to finally get passed the decades long-awaiting Oil and Gas Law (HCL). In it we learn that MP Adel Al-Mahalawi confirmed...that there are initial understandings between political blocs and the Prime Minister regarding proceeding with the passage of the oil and gas law in the coming period...the Prime Minister aimed at creating the necessary atmosphere for passing the oil and gas law, which is considered one of the important laws that has been long awaited.

Jon Dowling: Weekly RV Report and Financial Updates for June 19th, 2026
The financial landscape is currently undergoing a period of profound transformation, marked by significant shifts in international policy and monetary infrastructure.
The latest Weekly RV Report, dated Friday, June 19, 2026, offers a comprehensive look at these developments, focusing on the intersection of Middle Eastern political restructuring and the broader evolution of the global financial system.
Hosted by Jon Dowling, the report provides a roadmap for understanding how regional reforms in Iraq are signaling larger changes in the international economic order.
At the heart of this week’s update is the rapid acceleration of political restructuring within Iraq. A key highlight is a critical new appointment within the Iraqi cabinet, a move seen by analysts as a stabilizing force for the nation’s governance.
This political alignment is directly tied to the long-awaited progress on the Hydrocarbon Law (HCL). The HCL, which governs the distribution of oil and gas revenues, has been a central pillar of Iraq’s economic strategy for years. Its movement toward implementation suggests a significant shift in Iraq’s ability to engage with international partners and solidify its position as a major player in the global energy market.
Beyond legislative updates, the report delves into the modernization of the Iraqi banking sector. These domestic reforms are not happening in a vacuum; they are part of a global trend toward increased transparency and technological integration.
Interestingly, the report highlights the growing role of blockchain technology and stablecoins within the U.S. Treasury and the wider banking system. This transition represents a fundamental change in how sovereign debt and daily transactions may be handled in the future.
By adopting decentralized ledger technology, traditional financial institutions are aiming for greater efficiency, potentially reducing the friction currently found in cross-border settlements.
The June 19th report also provides a sobering yet strategic outlook on the commodities market, specifically gold and silver. Despite what many observers describe as persistent price suppression tactics by central banks, the fundamental value of precious metals remains a focal point for diversified portfolios.
This interest in hard assets comes at a time when the Federal Reserve and other global central banks are anticipated to implement aggressive interest rate cuts by the end of the year. Such monetary easing often serves as a precursor to a wider global economic reset, making asset positioning a priority for those monitoring the markets.
As the global economy moves toward this anticipated reset, the report concludes with a call for strategic preparation. The concept of a “great wealth transfer” is discussed not as a matter of luck, but as a result of careful asset positioning and the exercise of high-level discernment.
In an era of volatile information and shifting financial paradigms, staying informed through reliable data is essential. The report encourages viewers to look beyond the surface of daily news to understand the underlying structural changes occurring in both the legislative and technological sectors.
For those looking to deepen their understanding of these complex geopolitical and financial shifts, the full video from Jon Dowling offers further insights and detailed analysis. As we move into the latter half of 2026, staying ahead of these trends will be vital for anyone navigating the emerging global financial landscape.

The landscape of Iraq’s economy is currently undergoing a profound transformation, moving away from a traditional, cash-heavy system toward a modernized, digital-first financial infrastructure.

The Dinar Den: 6-19-2026
The landscape of Iraq’s economy is currently undergoing a profound transformation, moving away from a traditional, cash-heavy system toward a modernized, digital-first financial infrastructure.
In a recent update from Steven, an entrepreneur and long-term investor behind The Dinar Den, several critical developments have come to light that suggest Iraq is aggressively laying the groundwork for a more stable and internationally integrated currency.
By focusing on technological integration and administrative reform, Iraq is positioning itself to address long-standing economic hurdles.
Perhaps the most significant technological milestone discussed is the approval of Starlink, SpaceX’s high-speed satellite internet service, for use within Iraq. While internet access might seem like a secondary concern to currency value, it is actually the backbone of modern fiscal policy.
A major obstacle to Iraq’s economic growth has been its large unbanked population and a reliance on physical cash. High-speed, reliable internet is the essential utility required to facilitate a cashless economy.
With Starlink’s deployment, even the most remote regions of Iraq can now access digital banking services. This connectivity allows for transparent digital transactions, government electronic payments, and real-time financial tracking.
By reducing the reliance on “mattress money” and physical currency, the Iraqi government can significantly curtail corruption and money laundering—essential prerequisites for any meaningful currency revaluation.
The political and administrative climate within the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has also seen a pivotal shift. The replacement of the former governor, Ali Al-Alak, with Nizar Nasser marks a potential turning point in Iraq’s monetary strategy. While Al-Alak was known for a conservative, stability-focused approach, Nasser brings a specialized background in anti-money laundering (AML) and international compliance.
This leadership change is viewed by many market observers as a signal that Iraq is ready to align more closely with global financial standards.
Nasser’s expertise is expected to accelerate reforms that integrate Iraq into the international banking community.
For the Iraqi Dinar to gain strength, the international community must have confidence in the CBI’s ability to regulate its markets and enforce transparency, and this new appointment appears to be a direct move toward establishing that trust.
Beyond the CBI, the Iraqi government is pushing for comprehensive electronic payment adoption across all ministries. This initiative is designed to streamline public services and ensure that government funds are handled with maximum efficiency.
Furthermore, the discussion surrounding the Hydrocarbon Law (HCL) remains a central pillar of Iraq’s economic future. The HCL aims to create a legal framework for the distribution of oil revenues, potentially linking these resources directly to citizen payments.
The success of the HCL and other financial inclusion strategies depends entirely on the digital infrastructure mentioned earlier. Without a robust electronic payment system, distributing oil wealth to the population would be a logistical nightmare prone to error and fraud. The convergence of these reforms—technological, legal, and administrative—creates a synergy that bolsters the country’s overall economic health.
While the road to a full currency revaluation is complex, the recent pace of progress in Iraq is undeniable.
From parliamentary actions on the Hydrocarbon Law to potential high-level diplomatic visits to the United States, the momentum is building toward a more modern Iraqi state. By tackling the root causes of economic stagnation—such as lack of infrastructure and administrative opacity—Iraq is making a compelling case for its future role in the global economy.
For those tracking these developments closely, the message is clear: Iraq is no longer just talking about reform; it is actively building the digital and regulatory architecture necessary to support a 21st-century economy.

Ariel: The IQD Rate Adjustment Phase is in High Gear

Here’s What To Watch Folks

Ariel: The IQD Rate Adjustment Phase is in High Gear
6-20-2026
Here’s What To Watch Folks
Approaching but controlled. (Keep In Mind) The new Governor’s background screams managed transition redenomination (drop zeros for practicality) followed by gradual strengthening anchored in gold, stabilized oil (post-HCL), and diversified revenue.
Capital controls likely kick in initially. Ripple/ISO rails + Starlink make real-time enforcement possible. Watch early-morning CBI announcements (often Sundays for market quiet).
Post-adjustment intervention to anchor the rate, gradual control easing, foreign investment surge, and integration into broader digital asset ecosystems via Clarity Act-aligned rails.
This creates Dollar 2.0-style sound money that holds or grows value instead of endless erosion through printing and proxy wars. Something that was recently ended.
Trump’s “level playing field” rhetoric wasn’t empty. The Iran deal (signed in the same Versailles halls where the old order carved up the world in 1919) ends proxy chaos, reopens monitored Hormuz flows, and chokes black market networks that fed militia economics and sanctions busting.
Clarity Act steam in the Senate provides U.S. regulatory certainty for stablecoins and digital assets, directly complementing Iraq’s digital leap. Banks are terrified because ISO 20022 + Ripple rails expose the arbitrage and opacity that let legacy intermediaries skim for decades.
We are approaching a very powerful event people. The best thing to do is watch this play out. Because the PM visit next month will be discussing a trade partnership. Something that will require what? A level playing field ie 1:1 parity.
The process is messy because the machine was deeply rooted. But the foundations are now solid. The dinar shift is structural realignment toward sound money, not lottery. The Republic (and aligned sovereign plays like Iraq) moves forward on rails that the old parasites can’t easily derail. The storm was necessary. The reset is landing. Stand ready the payoff is worth the grind.

Ariel: Probable Sequence of Events Regarding Iraq
6-20-2026
Iraqi Dinar Update: Part 2 (And Other Info) Ripple News
Updated Probable Sequence of Events re: Iraq – June 2026 Perspective
The original 2025 outline from Stephanie Starr back in 2025 https://x.com/i/status/195452984541044758 laid out a logical, phased roadmap for Iraq’s currency strengthening based on how other nations have handled similar transitions, combined with Iraq’s unique oil-dependent reality.
That framework still holds as a strong skeleton, but the ground has shifted noticeably in the past 10–11 months.
We’re now deep into operational execution rather than pure planning.
Starlink’s nationwide license approval, the aggressive cashless mandate targeting early July 2026 for government institutions, the new Central Bank Governor with deep AML/TF roots, ongoing HCL negotiations, and gold reserve building are all accelerating the timeline while adding real compliance teeth.
We know no magical overnight flip has occurred at this time as the official rate hovers around 1,300 IQD per USD for budgeting purposes but the infrastructure, legislative pressure, and international alignment point to a controlled strengthening and redenomination path rather than the old static limbo. But we also have a new CBI Governor who has an entire different playbook.
Stage 1 – Final Banking Reform & Compliance Lock-In (Largely Complete / Ongoing)
Current Status: This phase is well advanced. The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has pushed private banks to meet capital and compliance thresholds. Electronic payment systems are scaling rapidly, with trillions already flowing through e-wallets, POS, and instant rails.
Starlink’s license (welcomed publicly by PM Ali al-Zaidi and U.S. Envoy Tom Barrack) provides the critical satellite backbone for remote oil fields, border zones, and rural banking outposts where terrestrial infrastructure was always vulnerable to sabotage or graft.
Stage 2 – Market Preparation & Stabilization (Accelerating)
Current Status: Tightened dollar supply, public education on digital payments, and gold reserve growth (over 170 tons and climbing) are all visible.
Cashless mandates for government institutions target early July 2026 Interior Ministry already largely dark on cash, with others following. Starlink fills connectivity gaps so remote ministries and oil infrastructure can log and settle in real time.

It’s a significant personnel change at the CBI under the new PM, which could have implications for monetary policy, banking reforms, and IQD currency stability.
AnnaMarieF: Breaking: Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaydi assigns Nizar Nasser Al-Amiri as Governor of the Central Bank. Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi ordered a broad reshuffle of senior state positions, changing the leadership of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) and the National Investment Commission, a political source familiar with the matter told Shafaq News on Thursday. Al-Zaidi appointed Nizar Nasser, who previously headed the bank’s Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Office, as CBI governor, replacing Ali Al-Allaq. He also named Adel Al-Yasiri chairman of the National Investment Commission in place of Haider Makkiya.
Dude the IQD FUDsters deserve all the pain that’s coming.
Although, most of them have some, just disgruntled investors.
(FUD =Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt)

There’s no clickbait benefit in having the opposite opinion, only ego.

Erbil vs Baghdad resolutions
Iran removal
Foreign reserves exceeding
Oil boom pending
Trump approval
Y’all have no idea how hot this summer is about to get.
Iran War is over.
“Time to rebuild”
Meaning the Middle East will be reshaped with the US interest in mind which serves every other country economically as a partner in trade.
President Trump is a business man who gets things done.
He moves quick.
You can see it happening in real life right now.
The headlines are compounding to the point that no IQD FUDster will be able to deny what’s coming.
They’re getting nervous.
Watch.
Tom S: Why in the hell send Barrack now . If anybody for one second thinks PM Zaidi is going to show up with a toilet paper non tradeable currency to discuss establishing funds and trade with a superpower ... let me show you a bridge I have for sale . That is hardly a position for him to be in and hardly matches his announcements or actions ... and finally that is just plain stupid as Dinarland looks for a trigger once again .

Terrence [Central Bank/International Bank Regulator] Vietnam is trying to export products...It's in their interest to keep the currency low. Whereas in Iraq, all the signals are pointing suggesting they've got to raise the rate significantly...If you look at countries like Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, these countries are not anywhere close to being as rich as Iraq are. Why are their currencies worth so much more than a dollar? It doesn't make sense.
Militia Man Article: "Alaq was relieved of his position as governor of the Central Bank and Nizar Nasser was appointed in his place" We all knew that it is possible because it's the right of the prime minister to be able to get a new central bank governor...This [new] man seems to fit the bill. His background is quite nice...It may even be more advantageous for us because it might be more of a seamless cleaner government in the sense, the man has who he wants in place...I like what we see...Prime Minister Zaidi is all about economics and so it the new CBI governor.
Jeff Did any of us know today that the central bank governor was going to get replaced? Hell no, we didn't. I've been saying for quite a while the news is all scripted. They know exactly what they're going to do, when they're going to do it and it will catch all of us by surprise. The rate change won't catch me by surprise. It might catch you by surprise, not I. I now exactly what I'm looking for to know when the rate's going to change...The very critical piece we need to see to identify that date will be the completion of the cabinet. Once they complete the cabinet, it's game over. Rate will change very quick...

He Lived Through 1987, 2000, 2008 & COVID – He’s Most Concerned Now, Here’s Why
Miles Franklin Media: 6-18-2026
Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, sits down with Peter Grandich, Founder, PeterGrandich.com, to discuss why he is more concerned about the economy and financial markets today than at any other point in his 40-plus year career.
Having lived through the 1987 crash, the dot-com bubble, the Global Financial Crisis, and the COVID market collapse, Grandich shares his outlook on what he calls the “greatest melt-up in history,” why he believes markets are displaying classic signs of a major top, and how growing debt, political division, and investor complacency could create serious challenges ahead.
He also weighs in on Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh’s first meeting, the Fed’s sweeping review of its policies and communications, the implications for inflation and interest rates, and what a new Fed regime could mean for markets and gold.
Grandich explains why he remains bullish on gold, silver, copper, and mining stocks, why he believes $10,000 gold is possible, and why he would rather own precious metals than broad U.S. equities at current valuations.

Rob Cunningham: The Pattern of History
Rob Cunningham: The Pattern of History

The Pattern of History
For thousands of years, reserve currencies have been controlled by empires.
Roman Empire → Roman coinage
British Empire → Pound Sterling
American Empire → U.S. Dollar
Rob Cunningham: The Pattern of History
6-19-2026
The Pattern of History
For thousands of years, reserve currencies have been controlled by empires.
Roman Empire → Roman coinage
British Empire → Pound Sterling
American Empire → U.S. Dollar
The reserve currency and geopolitical power have traditionally been inseparable
The issuer gains:
cheaper borrowing
global influence
sanctions power
trade advantages
military leverage
David Schwartz has observed something profound:
The world may no longer want to exchange one empire for another
Not:
Dollar → Yuan
Not:
Dollar → Euro
Not:
Dollar → Ruble
But potentially:
National reserve currencies coexisting
Neutral settlement assets between them
A KUWL View
My framework repeatedly argues:
The core issue is not who controls the system
The core issue is whether the system itself is trustworthy
That distinction matters
Most political discussions focus on:
Who wins?
Who governs?
Which nation dominates?
@JoelKatz has spoken in depth about a different question:
What if the protocol itself becomes the trusted intermediary?
That is very similar to:
• TCP/IP for information
• GPS for location
• Standardized weights and measures for commerce
Nobody asks: “Who owns the inch?”
Nobody asks: “Who owns gravity?”
Nobody asks: “Who owns the meter?”
The protocol itself becomes trusted.
Honest Weights & Measures
This is where my favorite theme becomes relevant.
Historically:
Dishonest weights and measures appear when:
• records can be altered
• supply can be manipulated
• rules can change arbitrarily
• transparency disappears
Trust collapses.
Conflict rises.
Economic friction rises.
The larger the system becomes, the more expensive distrust becomes.
Schwartz’s vision is essentially:
What if the world’s settlement layer operated according to transparent rules that no single nation could unilaterally manipulate?
That does not eliminate politics
It does not eliminate governments.
It does not eliminate currencies.
It simply creates a neutral layer underneath them.
Very similar to how the internet allows nations to communicate without one nation owning the protocol.
Why Smaller Nations Might Like This
This is another major point David makes
The world’s largest powers naturally want influence
Smaller nations generally want fairness
If you are:
Vietnam
Kenya
Peru
Jordan
Chile
Singapore
you likely do not want:
• China controlling settlement
• Russia controlling settlement
• America controlling settlement
• Europe controlling settlement
You want:
predictability
neutrality
equal access
That is exactly the banking analogy David Schwartz has used
The smaller banks did not want systems controlled by their biggest competitors
The same logic can apply to nations
Where XRP Fits
Schwartz is not saying XRP becomes the world’s reserve currency
People often misinterpret him
What he is describing is closer to:
National currencies remain
A neutral bridge asset facilitates movement between them
Think:
Dollars remain
Euros remain
Yen remain
Dirhams remain
Dinars remain
But settlement occurs through a neutral intermediary
That is fundamentally different than replacing sovereign currencies.
It is about connecting them.
Alignment With My Broader Geopolitical Thesis
Where my KUWL thesis and Schwartz’s thesis overlap:
Multipolar World
Both recognize: A single unchallenged reserve currency is unlikely to persist forever.
Reduced Friction
Both envision: Lower cost movement of value.
Transparency
Both emphasize: Trust increases when verification becomes easier.
Neutral Infrastructure
Both prefer: Rules over rulers.
Protocols over arbitrary discretion.
Economic Cooperation
Both suggest: Mutually trusted infrastructure can reduce conflict.
Humanity may discover that lasting peace, prosperity & cooperation emerge not when one nation controls the world’s money, but when all nations can transact through transparent, neutral & verifiable systems no single rival can dominate.
