Did Iraq Just Signal a Revaluation?

Did Iraq Just Signal a Revaluation?

Dinar For Dummies:  3-26-2026

The Iraqi dinar has long been a topic of interest among currency investors and enthusiasts, with many speculating about the potential for a significant revaluation.

Recently, Steven, a seasoned entrepreneur and investor in the Iraqi dinar, shared his analysis on a significant development that could indicate a revaluation is closer than anticipated.

According to recently released U.S. Treasury data, Iraq has nearly doubled its holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds over the past 12 months, surging from $23.4 billion to $40.8 billion.

This represents a substantial 79% increase, sparking speculation about the motivations behind this significant investment.

Steven suggests that this move may be a strategic preparation for a potential currency revaluation, as Iraq positions itself to back its currency at a higher rate.

The current geopolitical landscape is complex and fluid, with ongoing conflicts and tensions in the Middle East involving Iran, the war dynamics, and rising crude oil prices.

Steven highlights that these factors could strengthen Iraq’s economic position, potentially paving the way for a revaluation. The situation remains uncertain, with peace talks and military movements continuing to influence the region’s stability.

One key event that Steven is closely monitoring is a potential strike on the Iranian nuclear facility at Bushehr. Some speculate that this could be a precursor to the Iraqi dinar revaluation.

While it’s impossible to predict with certainty, Steven believes that these developments signal that a revaluation could be closer than many anticipate.

While Steven emphasizes that a revaluation is not expected imminently, the recent increase in Iraq’s U.S. Treasury bond holdings and the shifting geopolitical landscape suggest that it may be on the horizon.

As an investor or enthusiast, it’s essential to stay informed and adapt to changing circumstances.

“News Tidbits From TNT” Thursday 3-26-2026

TNT:

Tishwash:  Disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz are putting pressure on sugar supply chains and threatening Iraq's exports.

Traders in global commodity markets warned on Thursday that continued disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz could put increasing pressure on raw and refined sugar supply chains, amid rising shipping and insurance costs and declining supply flexibility through vital sea lanes in the Gulf.

 A report by the American company " S&P " stated that the region passes through about 10% of the world's raw sugar trade and 5% of refined sugar, making it a "vital artery" for food commodity flows, at a time when refineries have begun to face operational challenges due to rising energy and transportation costs.

He noted that refineries in the Gulf, including those in Iraq, Dubai, Bahrain and Iran, play a role in redistributing white sugar to regional markets, but current pressures could lead to supply restrictions and higher production and distribution costs.

He pointed out that any disruption to the flow of the Strait of Hormuz directly impacts import costs and food supplies in Iraq, especially since the country relies on imports to cover part of the local demand for sugar and basic foodstuffs, which could raise commodity prices in the local market if tensions continue.

Traders added that higher fuel prices and shipping costs resulting from "war risks" are increasing pressure on supply chains, at a time when regional refineries are trying to pass on costs to end markets or reduce operating levels.  link

The postponed budget and blocked corridors… Iraq between internal paralysis and lost opportunities

At a sensitive regional moment, with global oil prices soaring due to shipping disruptions and threats of closure of vital waterways, Iraq should have been one of the biggest beneficiaries of this boom. However, reality reveals a harsh paradox: a country almost entirely dependent on oil is unable to capitalize on the price surge, hampered by export disruptions and internal administrative chaos.

The budget crisis in Iraq cannot be separated from the broader regional context, particularly given the threats to vital maritime routes and the resulting disruptions or restrictions on oil exports. This highlights the gravity of the situation, where two negative factors converge simultaneously: internal paralysis due to political delays and external pressure stemming from geopolitical crises.

Iraq, which is supposed to have alternative plans for exporting its oil in emergencies, finds itself today shackled as a result of the lack of strategic planning and the delay in settling political entitlements, foremost among them the selection of the presidency of the republic and the presidency of the Council of Ministers, which has directly affected the obstruction of the approval of the budget, and thus the obstruction of the ability to act quickly in the face of crises.

The result is that the state loses twice:

Once its projects and services are disrupted due to budget shortfalls, and again when it misses the opportunity to capitalize on high oil prices due to export difficulties. This dual loss reveals the fragility of the economic structure and underscores that over-reliance on oil, without logistical and strategic alternatives, poses an existential threat to the Iraqi economy.

The continuation of this situation also weakens Iraq's position in regional competition, especially as neighboring countries move to secure alternative energy routes and strengthen their infrastructure, at a time when Iraq remains captive to internal political crises.

The current stage requires a radical shift in thinking, based on separating vital files—foremost among them the budget—from political disputes, and working to build a flexible export system that includes multiple outlets, including land routes and pipelines, to reduce dependence on threatened routes.

In conclusion, Iraq today faces not a single crisis, but a confluence of crises: delayed decision-making, geographical vulnerability, and missed opportunities. Unless this equation is addressed, the country will continue to pay the price for its strategic location instead of capitalizing on it. link

Tishwash: Trump: Talks with Iran are serious and we have 15 points for an agreement.

US President Donald Trump confirmed that the US talks with Iran were serious and took place with the participation of Wittkopf and Kushner, describing those talks as exemplary, while indicating that the United States and Iran reached common ground on most of the issues that were raised during the discussions.

Trump said the dispute would be resolved if the anticipated talks between the two sides were successful, indicating that Iran was seeking an agreement with the United States and that Washington shared this position, while also revealing plans to hold a meeting with Iranian officials in the near future.

The US president explained that the talks with Iran focus specifically on Tehran abandoning nuclear weapons and uranium enrichment operations, noting that if an agreement is reached, the United States will take the uranium from the Islamic Republic, stressing that any future agreement must prevent the possibility of new conflicts or the emergence of nuclear weapons in Tehran.

Trump claimed that the contacts between Washington and Tehran were initiated by the Iranian side, while simultaneously threatening to continue the bombing if the ongoing contacts between the two sides failed.

He added, "Any future agreement with Iran must prevent the possibility of new conflicts and the emergence of nuclear weapons, and we have 15 points for an agreement with Iran." link

Tishwash:  Talabani: Our communication with Baghdad is ongoing, and the war has negatively impacted the economy of the region and Iraq.

The Deputy Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government, Qubad Talabani, confirmed on Tuesday that communication channels with the federal government in Baghdad are continuing to address the economic and security repercussions resulting from the regional conflict. 

During a press conference attended by Shafaq News Agency, Talabani expressed his condolences and sympathy to the families of the victims of the attack that targeted a Peshmerga force at dawn today in the Soran area, wishing a speedy recovery to the wounded.

Talabani said, "Any attack targeting the Kurdistan Region is condemned and rejected," stressing that "the region declared from the beginning of the war that it would not be part of any conflict, and would not pose a threat to any neighboring country." 

He added that "the regional government reaffirms its position of not engaging in the ongoing war, and instead seeks to use its relationships to contribute to calming the situation."

Regarding the formation of the new government in the region, Talabani explained that “the passage of a year and five months since the elections did not prevent the continuation of efforts to form the government,” noting that there is “a difference of views with the Kurdistan Democratic Party on this issue, which is normal between two different parties,” while emphasizing at the same time “the need for more consensus at this stage.”

Regarding the relationship with the federal government, the Deputy Prime Minister of the region indicated that "there are ongoing efforts to improve relations with Baghdad and communication with them is continuous," explaining that "the tensions and war in the region have cast a negative shadow on the economy of the region and Iraq," stressing that "the joint committees continue their meetings and dialogues to resolve the outstanding issues between the two sides."

Last week, the Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region, Masrour Barzani, raised several issues with the Baghdad government, including attacks on the region, oil exports, and the ASYCUDA system, calling on the federal government in Baghdad to prevent attacks and address financial and organizational disputes.

Barzani said that the region supports oil exports, explaining that what is exported from Kurdistan amounts to about 230,000 barrels per day and will not exceed half a million barrels, compared to larger quantities exported by the federal government.

He pointed out that the regional government does not oppose exports, but demands guarantees for oil production in its fields that were damaged as a result of the attacks, calling on Baghdad to stop the targeting of oil fields.

He also demanded the payment of financial dues and salaries of the region's employees, stressing that the Kurdistan government is seeking to find a mechanism to resolve the disputes, and has submitted a proposal to hold meetings with the federal government to end the crisis.  link

Fri. 27 March 2026 Deadline For The Federal Reserve …Mr. Pool Final Chapter

That’s all that’s left. March 27. The date they don’t want you to circle. Trump didn’t extend the Iran deadline because he’s negotiating. He extended it because the system isn’t ready yet. Let me explain what’s actually happening — and why you need to screenshot this message. Right now, at this very moment, three things are being moved simultaneously:

1. Gold. Central banks bought more gold in the last 90 days than in any quarter since 1967. Not investment banks. Central banks. The ones who WRITE the rules. They’re not buying gold because they’re scared. They’re buying it because they know what’s replacing the dollar.

2. Quantum nodes. The QFS backbone went from 12 active nodes in January to 67 active nodes as of last Friday. Each node processes 1.4 million transactions per second. You don’t build that kind of infrastructure for a system you’re not about to turn on.

3. SWIFT access keys. On March 16 — exactly 11 days before the deadline — Ripple’s partner Thunes quietly announced stablecoin payouts to 11,500 banks through SWIFT. They called it a “Smart Superhighway.” That’s not a partnership. That’s a replacement wearing a disguise.

Three moves. One deadline. March 27. Now here’s the part they’ll never say on television: The Iran war isn’t about Iran. It never was. Every bomb that falls on Tehran is a distraction from what’s happening in the server rooms underneath the Federal Reserve buildings in New York, Chicago, and San Francisco.

They’re migrating the ledger. $23 trillion in U.S. debt. $8 trillion in offshore accounts. Every transaction, every loan, every dark money transfer since 1971 — all of it is being moved from the old system to the new one. And when the migration is complete — the old system gets unplugged. That’s what March 27 is. Not a deadline for Iran. A deadline for the Federal Reserve.

Why do you think gold dropped from $5,595 to $4,384 in 8 weeks? That’s not a crash. That’s a controlled descent. They’re repricing gold for the new system. When QFS goes live, gold doesn’t trade in dollars anymore. It trades in quantum-verified weight.

The price you see today is the last dollar price gold will ever have. TIER 4B notifications are already queued. The 800 numbers have been tested. The redemption centers are staffed. I told you last week — the deals are signed. The gold has moved. The war is the cover. 72 hours.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wed. 25 March 2026 ISO 20022 is a global messaging standard that defines how financial institutions exchange information for transactions (payments, securities, remittances). It replaces outdated, fragmented systems (like the old SWIFT messages) with a unified, data-rich digital language. …Tier4b ISO 20022 on Telegram

Why ISO 20022 Matters to XRP/XLM Investors: The global financial system, including SWIFT, the US Federal Reserve’s Fedwire, and many central banks, is migrating to ISO 20022, with a target date for full implementation by April 1, 2026. This standardization is critical for any crypto asset aiming to integrate with traditional finance.

Compliance is not optional; it is the entry barrier for servicing banks. XRP Ledger (XRPL) and Stellar Network (XLM) have been proactively aligning with this standard for years, giving them a massive head start in the race to modernize cross-border payments.

Jeff   Right now we're waiting for the war to finish.  Then when the war finishes, they can finish the formation of the government.  Then once the government formation is done the very next step will be the rate change.  Then after the rate changes they can do the 150+ laws.  After the rate changes they have a lot to do.

Frank26  What is it we need for the monetary reform/the new exchange rate to come out?  Security and stability from Iran.  We're that close to getting it.  That means the United States of America will be paid back...We do have a very good chance to see both governments [formed] maybe by the beginning of next month.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Global Reset Series – Wrap-Up

The New Global Financial System: What We’ve Learned

From gold accumulation to digital currencies and multipolar payment networks, here’s the full picture of the emerging monetary architecture.

Overview

Over the past week, we explored a series of developments quietly reshaping the global financial system. Taken together, these trends indicate that the world is gradually moving toward a more multipolar, digital, and resilient monetary framework.

This wrap-up summarizes the most critical insights from the series so readers can understand the structural evolution underway.

1. Central Banks Are Buying Gold Like Never Before

• Global central banks are purchasing more than 1,000 tonnes annually, the fastest pace in modern history.
• Key buyers: China, India, Turkey, Russia, Poland.
• Purpose: diversify reserves, hedge against currency volatility, and strengthen financial stability.
• Significance: Gold remains a universally accepted, no-counterparty-risk asset, serving as a core pillar of monetary resilience.

2. Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) Are Multiplying

• Over 130 countries are researching or developing digital versions of their national currencies.
• Leading examples: Digital Yuan (China), e-Rupee (India), Digital Euro (EU).
• CBDCs can:

• Enable instant transactions

• Reduce reliance on traditional banking intermediaries

• Improve cross-border payment efficiency
  ‍ ‍• Interoperability projects among central banks may eventually allow direct international settlements without traditional banking rails.

3. Cross-Border Payment Systems Are Being Redesigned

• International organizations (G20, IMF, BIS, FSB) are coordinating reforms to:

• Lower transaction costs

• Speed up settlement times

• Increase transparency in global payment flows
  • Multi-CBDC platforms and alternative payment rails are testing a future where cross-border money moves instantly, independent of SWIFT.

4. Emerging Parallel Financial Networks Are Taking Shape

• Western financial infrastructure remains dominant but is now complemented by alternative networks led by emerging economies.
• BRICS nations and regional alliances are creating redundant payment systems, regional currency trade settlements, and local reserve strategies.
• Purpose: resilience against sanctions, financial autonomy, and geopolitical leverage.

5. Sovereign Debt Pressures Are Driving Strategic Change

• Global debt levels are at record highs, forcing governments and central banks to rethink reserve management, interest rate policy, and risk exposure.
• Rising debt amplifies the need for diversified reserves and robust cross-border settlement systems.
• Impact: Central banks are aligning reserves and payment infrastructure with long-term financial stability.

6. The Multipolar Financial System Is Gradually Emerging

Key Features of the New System:

Component

Role

Gold reserves

Stability and hedge against currency risks

CBDCs

Digital currency infrastructure for instant settlement

Payment system redesign

Faster, cheaper, more transparent cross-border payments

Parallel networks

Resilience and autonomy for emerging economies

Strategic reserve diversification

Protection against shocks and debt stress

• The system is not collapsing; it is evolving.
• Multiple financial centers, digital currencies, and diversified reserves suggest a gradual transition toward a multipolar, digitally-enabled monetary order.

Why This Matters for Readers

Understanding these trends is critical because monetary infrastructure shapes trade, currency flows, and geopolitical influence.

• Investors can anticipate shifts in currency demand and gold markets.
• Policymakers can assess resilience of domestic financial systems.
• Businesses can plan for faster digital settlements and regional currency adoption.

Seeds of Wisdom Team View

The world is quietly building a new global financial architecture.

This is not a sudden reset — it is an incremental, deliberate restructuring of monetary power, payment systems, and reserve strategies.

The “new normal” will likely feature:

• Multiple centers of financial influence
• Digital-first cross-border settlement
• Gold and other tangible assets as core reserve components
• Emerging economies with greater autonomy in trade and finance

By understanding these trends, readers are positioned to see the future of global finance unfold in real time.

 A Message to Our Currency Holders

If you’ve been holding foreign currency for many years, you were not foolish.

You were not wrong to believe the global financial system would change.

What failed was not your patience — it was the information you were given.

For years, dates, rumors, and personalities replaced facts, structure, and proof. “This week” predictions created cycles of hope and disappointment that were never based on how currencies actually change.

That is not your failure.

Our mission here is different:  • No dates • No rates • No hype • No gurus

Instead, we focus on:

• Verifiable developments • Institutional evidence

• Global financial structure • Where countries actually sit in the process

Currency value changes only come after sovereignty, trade, banking, settlement systems, and fiscal coordination are in place. History and institutions confirm this sequence.

You will see silence. You will see denials. That is not delay — that is discipline.

Protect your identity. Organize your documents.    Verify everything.

Never hand your discernment to anyone who cannot show proof.

You deserve truth — not timelines.

Strategic Framework Agreement for a Relationship of Friendship and Cooperation Between the United States of America and the Republic of Iraq Part 2

Strategic Framework Agreement for a Relationship of Friendship and Cooperation Between the United States of America and the Republic of Iraq Part 2

Maintain active bilateral dialogue on measures to increase Iraq's development, including through the Dialogue on Economic Cooperation (DEC) and, upon entry into force, the Trade and Investment Framework Agreement.

Trade and Investment Framework Agreements (TIFAs) provide strategic frameworks and principles for dialogue on trade and investment issues between the United States and the other parties to the TIFA.

Although the names of Framework Agreements may vary, e.g., the Trade, Investment, and Development Agreement (TIDCA) with the South African Customs Union, or the United States-Icelandic Forum, these agreements all serve as a forum for the United States and other governments to meet and discuss issues of mutual interest with the objective of improving cooperation and enhancing opportunities for trade and investment.

The United States and our TIFA partners consult on a wide range of issues related to trade and investment. Topics for consultation and possible further cooperation include market access issues, labor, the environment, protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights, and, in appropriate cases, capacity building.

TIFA Councils normally meet at least once a year at senior levels of government.

The United States has TIFAs with countries at different levels of development and trade and investment interests.

Below are TIFA Agreements, sorted by region.

U.S.-Iraqi Strategic Framework Agreement: Update on Implementation

Fact Sheet   Office of the Spokesperson  Washington, DC   August 15, 2013

Since Vice President Biden traveled to Iraq in November 2011 and convened a meeting of the U.S.-Iraq Higher Coordinating Committee, the Strategic Framework Agreement (SFA) has served as the backbone of our relationship with the Government of Iraq (GOI).

The United States and the GOI value the SFA, as evidenced by public statements by each side, the three Higher Coordinating Committee meetings and 24 Joint Coordination Committee (JCC) meetings held in the areas of cooperation outlined in the SFA, the Working Groups within each JCC that meet on a regular basis, and the myriad of developments across these sectors, a sampling of which is listed below:

Defense and Security (Last JCC in December 2012)

In June 2013, the U.S. Central Command hosted the first U.S.- Iraq Joint Military Committee (JMC), which is a subordinate discussion to the Defense and Security JCC. The JMC addressed issues such as border security, Iraqi military strategy, and engagement of Iraqi Security Forces in regional training exercises. The next JCC likely will be held in Washington this year.

At the December 2012 JCC, Acting Defense Minister al-Dlimi signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Security Cooperation with the U.S. Department of Defense. This agreement represents the strong military to military relationship between the United States and Iraq, and provides mechanisms for increased defense cooperation in areas including defense planning, counterterrorism cooperation, and combined exercises.

With strong U.S. support, Iraq has brought its military engagement with regional partners to historically high levels, including military exercises, strategic conferences and bilateral military engagements. Iraq’s participation in a naval exercise in Bahrain this year marked the first out-of-area deployment by an Iraqi naval unit in the post-Saddam era and the first-ever Iraqi port visit to Bahrain.

In close collaboration with U.S. officials, the Government of Iraq has purchased more than $14 billion in equipment, services, and training through the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program for its military and security forces. The Iraq FMS program is one of the largest in the world and is an important symbol of the long-term security partnership envisioned by both countries. We remain committed to meeting Iraqi equipment needs as quickly as possible.

Education, Science and Cultural (Last JCC December 2012)

The number of Iraqi students studying in the United States increased by 31% from 2011 to 2012 to a total of over 800. Our close bilateral cooperation in this area should produce continued increases in 2013.

The Baghdad-based English Language Institute, established in partnership with the Iraqi government, is expected to open in October 2013. The U.S. provided $1 million in funding to support English language instruction to hundreds of Iraqi government scholarship students each year for this program.

More than 1,200 Iraqis ages 15-22 participated in the Iraqi Young Leaders Exchange Program, including more than 200 in 2013. Areas of focus include leadership development, respect for diversity, and civic participation.

150 Iraqi professionals participated in the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) in 2013. Themes include women in leadership, science and technology, interfaith dialogue, energy policy, higher education, journalism, civic engagement, elections, public health, entrepreneurship, stock exchange, and environmental protection.

The USG, in conjunction with the UN, IAEA, and Ministry of Science and Technology, held a two-day Nuclear Dismantlement Conference in Erbil in 2013, focusing on the Adaya nuclear burial site in Ninewa province.

The conference represented the culmination of the DOS Iraq Nuclear Dismantlement Program’s seven years of work to safeguard and remediate the most contaminated Saddam-era nuclear sites around the country.

Cultural heritage is a significant pillar of the Strategic Framework Agreement, reflecting the high value both our nations place on this irreplaceable resource.

Through the Iraq Cultural Heritage Project, a $12.9 million initiative developed and funded by the State Department, and implemented by the nonprofit International Relief and Development from 2008 to 2011, Iraqis have undergone training on cultural preservation techniques (including exchanges with the Smithsonian Institution, the Winterthur Museum and other key partners), rehabilitated and furnished eleven of the museum’s public galleries, a three-story collections storage facility, and significantly upgraded conservation labs.

Energy (Last JCC April 2012)

Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity received U.S. training for over 100 of its key engineers and managers on energy security and safety in 2012 and 2013.

Iraq’s Ministry of Oil received U.S. training for 9 key geoscientists and engineers on resource evaluation.

The Governments of the United States of America and the Republic of Iraq reaffirmed their commitment, including signing a Memorandum of Understanding in January 2013, to jointly cooperate in the areas of oil production and export, natural gas, electricity, and critical energy infrastructure protection.

Law Enforcement and Judicial/Human Rights (Last JCC June 2013)

After considerable technical support and assistance from the U.S. Government, Iraq has now begun arresting, investigating, and prosecuting cases under its comprehensive anti-trafficking legislation.

In May 2013 Embassy Baghdad, a Federal Judge from the 2nd Circuit, and the FBI, trained 13 Iraqi investigative judges on techniques in asset recovery in financial crimes, and a presentation on such techniques will be made to the Acting head of the Higher Judicial Council Judge Hammari.

In 2012, Iraq established the High Commission for Human Rights to ensure the protection and promotion of human rights and ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

Political and Diplomatic (Last JCC August 2013)

With U.S. support, Iraq and Kuwait worked together to end Iraq’s Chapter VII obligations regarding the mandate of the High Level Coordinator for Missing Persons and Archives and establish a UN-led mechanism to continue and maintain their cooperation in this area. U.S. support also facilitated both parties’ successful efforts to resolve the longstanding dispute over damage inflicted on Kuwait’s national airline during the Gulf War.

 As a result, flights between Baghdad and Kuwait City resumed in 2013 after a 22-year cessation. In addition, both sides completed maintenance of the border pillars along their shared border in accordance with UNSCR 833.

Iraq has also constructively engaged its key neighbors like Jordan and the United Arab Emirates on issues of shared concern, including the growing conflict in Syria.

In April and June 2013, Iraq took another step toward building its democratic foundation through successfully holding provincial elections and in preparation for national elections in the spring of 2014.

The United States continues to strongly support Iraqi civil society and the many NGOs that continue to operate in Iraq under very challenging circumstances, through training and advocacy, bringing public attention to issues of inclusive citizenship, displacement, human rights and women’s rights.

The State Department also named the Hammurabi Human Rights Organization the winner of its 2012 Human Rights Defenders Award, for its “fearless advocacy for human rights, concrete achievements in protecting female detainees, and critical work on curriculum reform to promote religious freedom.”

Through its UN partners, the United States has contributed over $1 billion in overall humanitarian aid since the Syria crisis began, including fully funding a $1 million food voucher program for the Domiz refugee camp in northern Iraq and supporting Syrian refugees living in camps and in host communities in Iraq.

The United States also continues to provide support to displaced Iraqis, both inside Iraq and elsewhere in the region. Thus far in Fiscal Year 2013, the U.S. has provided over $87 million to address the needs of displaced Iraqis through the provision of shelter, health care, livelihoods assistance, and other basic humanitarian assistance.

Services, Technology, Environment & Transportation (Last JCC Nov 2012)

Iraqi Airways continued to revitalize its aircraft fleet, and in part due to U.S. Government advocacy, agreed to a contract with Boeing for 41 planes worth $5.4 billion for delivery from 2013 – 2017.

The Department of Transportation’s attaché office in Baghdad worked with Iraq’s Ministry of Transportation to bring Iraq’s airports into compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization codes and regulations, clearing American commercial carriers to resume operations to airports in northern Iraq for the first time in decades.

Trade & Finance (Last JCC March 2013)

Prime Minister Maliki joined over 100,000 Iraqi visitors to the U.S. sponsored Pavilion at the Baghdad International Trade Fair in the fall of 2012. U.S. organizations’ participation was up 80% over the 2011 fair, the first time the U.S. participated since the 1980s.

The Trade & Investment Framework Agreement between the Governments of Iraq and the United States, which addresses trade issues and improves bilateral economic relations, entered into force in May 2013.

In part due to U.S. Government advocacy, major U.S. companies like Boeing, Cisco, ExxonMobil, Ford Motors, Halliburton, Honeywell, and Lockheed Martin all have offices or are represented in Iraq. U.S. exports to Iraq, excluding aircraft, rose 13 percent between the first quarter of 2012 and first quarter of 2013.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 3-24-26

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 3-24-26

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps   (INTEL ONLY)

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight  -  it is Tuesday, March 24th  and you're listening to big call.  Thanks for tuning in everybody - welcome everybody. big call universe -- thank you for listening and coming in tonight , Yeah, that's exciting. So let's get into Intel, and we'll see where we sit in this particular time.

What's really interesting is that President Trump and the Secretary of War,  and the work that’s being done to reform Iran has been so successful they're way ahead of time. President Trump initially talked about four or five weeks, but it looks like and he made comments today in this effect --  President Trump did --  that basically the war is over --  we sort of won it in about three days, the first three days.

And of course, we don't want to see war anywhere, neither does President Trump, but we do need a change to take place in their government, which is happening

What's cool is we've got because Iran called up and said, Hey, we want to make a peace deal. We want a deal. This is, after all, their stuff's been blown to smithereens, and President Trump was planning to blow up this new and super power plant  that is worth about $10 billion to build it , and that would have affected and put the grid on zero for everybody in probably the entire country of Iran and so President Trump doesn't really want to do that.

He doesn't want to hurt the people. He wants the people to stand up and take their country back in a new, different way than it has been for the last 47 years.

And yeah, we've had a little pain at the pump for the last few weeks, and probably will for another but oil is starting to drop. Gas prices will be dropping soon, and comes a peace deal, which really looks like it should be done, quite possibly by tomorrow.  Then then we can move forward with what we have.

So we have the peace deal. They we got Jared Rand Gerald  ?? over there, his son in law. Then you've got Steve Wickliffe over there, you've got other people as part of our team that are meeting, and it appears that they're actually meeting with the son of the Shah of Iran, who was deposed. And the shah was -- the son is the prince, and his name is Resa ?, his first name. Can't remember his last name, and possibly the Shah’s nephew -

Those two they're meeting with, and maybe some other people that they would be forming a different form of government than the form that was there in the last 47 years.

And so I believe Iran will stand up and embrace this new hopefully a constitutional republic like what we have a constitution republic. Hopefully they'll set up something similar and make that work for them. I know they have a parliament like Iraq does, so maybe they'll keep the parliamentary aspect of it and we'll see what they end up doing.

But we had heard a couple of days ago that things were going to look good, starting about Wednesday, in terms of a peace agreement.

You know, they're meeting now. They're going over everything they've agreed already in principle, the 15 points of this peace plan, and they'll never have a nuclear bomb or start doing anything that way again. There's quite a bit that they'll not be able to do, and I'm just encouraged they're going in that direction now.

Things are moving in the right direction for Cuba. Also, we don't hear much about but things are happening yes, we've got people there, they are trying to put something together, because I know the people of Cuba are suffering, and I'm Cuban friends and had them in college and post great people. I really love the people, and we don't want them to suffer anymore, but we want them out of that communist, tyrannical form of government that they've been under for. God knows how many years.

I know it goes back to the early 60s and maybe further  than that, but I think what I'm saying is this peace, primarily with Iran, is fundamental to us getting started in what we had what we are looking for.

So I'm feeling very good about that right now. The Strait of Hormuz, we've got an alliance of countries that are coming together.

Those in the Middle East are really coming to the party to help ensure that oil can move through the Strait of Hormuz, that town, that port, town of whatever it is, where the oil actually flows from into tankers and so on, from Iran. I believe we're in control of that now, and there's just a lot of for us and for the world, not just us. If you think about it, India gets their oil from Iran, Japan, to an extent, certainly -  China does. Pakistan, there are a number of countries that get oil from Iran, and so we're going to be able to control that a little bit and make sure that that flows through these countries be to be refined.

So what does that mean for us? Let's talk about bond holders for a minute. Bondholders still don't receive their email to tell them they have funds in their account, and then they're also to be told when they can spend those funds their liquidity

Well, we heard this afternoon from one of the bond pay masters that they're anticipating getting those emails  at around 11 o'clock tomorrow in the morning, and that will tell them, hey, you have X number of dollars in your account. And then it'll tell them when it is accessible, spendable. They may have spendable funds as early as tomorrow afternoon.

Okay, now we won't know that until we talk to a couple people that have received those emails, but what it tells us is, according to the bond paymaster, that we will go for our notifications approximately 48 hours after they get theirs.

So let's say they get notified at 11. They get access in the afternoon. We could, we could very well get our notifications Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, lunchtime, afternoon, sometime, Friday is looking like when we're supposed to be notified.

And then set our appointments. Once we receive the 800 number, we set our appointments, and then we start exchanges, maybe Saturday, possibly Friday, Friday or Saturday is looking really good. If we do go Friday and Saturday, we would also be able to go through the weekend, meeting through Sunday, which is Palm Sunday and get started. And we'd have this thing several days before the end of the month

We have heard from Treasury to one of our one of our redemption center leaders received an email yesterday from Treasury saying we will have this before the end of the month.

Well, we're a week away from the end of the month, but the timing looks like we could get notified Friday. Maybe Thursday - I said only for Thursday, but Friday is 48 hours from tomorrow.

So that is what it looks like right now for us to get started.

I think really the only other thing so far, rates have been on and off the screens. Yesterday, they were on for 20 minutes, just a couple of currencies for 20 minutes, and then blank -- today, one currency on, and that was it. So they're getting ready to load new currencies on these redemption center screens, and we're going to be amazed the rates that we're able to get

You know the other currencies other than and dinar, dong obviously Zim is different. The other currencies that are part of the 41 currencies that we expect to go up in value are all, at least for a short period of time, expected to be between 3 and $7 each.

And you know that would include a lot of those currencies that we all had knowledge of, like the Afghani  -  and the OH GOD, you know, all of them,  even the Venezuelan Boulivar – believe it or not the Iranian rial.  

That’s why these things  have to happen quickly here, and I think they will like I was very encouraged by what President Trump said yesterday. He said a press conference, I'm not a betting man, but if I were a betting man, I would say it's very likely that we will have a peace deal with Iran and soon, in the early processes now and in my opinion I think it will  be completed by tomorrow, so that Wednesday, the bondholders will get their emails that we talked about that will give tell them when they can have access to it.

Not exactly a perfect shotgun site.   Could have a 48 hour head start on us.   I don't know why that's doing it that way, but that may be the case. If it is, so be it - we'll do well. When we get in there and do this, we will have a call on Thursday night, so we'll see. Between now and the next couple of days, we'll obviously have a more, possibly different Intel. But I would be very, I feel very confident about this, going this based on we're hearing from sources  

That is really everything that I'd like to bring tonight. And I really appreciate everybody. And thank Bob.

With Bob's website, go through read some of these testimonials. I would be curious about some of the video testimonials that he's getting. If he can post the link for those videos too. That's kind of cool. So that's all at the bottom of the page. When you go on his homepage,

Thank everybody that contributed to the prayer and praise for just everything with Jeannie and Pastor Scott and Doug and obviously Sue and Bob, don't forget.

But let's do this. Let me pray a call out. Let's look forward to have a great tomorrow. Let's see what happens for our bondholders this week.

So I want to thank everybody.   Thank everybody for coming to the call tonight. Thank you big call universe,

Good night, everybody. God bless you. See you Thursday.

Is This the Final Shakeout Before Gold Explodes? | Andy Schectman

Is This the Final Shakeout Before Gold Explodes? | Andy Schectman

Liberty and Finance:  3-24-2026

Gold and silver are plunging during global conflict—but beneath the surface, something doesn’t add up.

Andy Schectman explains why this may be a structural selloff, driven by ETF rebalancing, margin pressure, and large institutional positioning—not weak fundamentals.

 At the same time, physical demand is exploding, with massive deliveries and record imports signaling aggressive accumulation by smart money.

Most shocking of all, a whale just placed a $3 million bet on gold reaching $15,000–$20,000, hinting at extreme expectations for the future. Is this a classic “bash and stash” before a major breakout, or the calm before a financial storm?

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Markets React to Ceasefire Signals: Oil Drops as Global Risk Sentiment Shifts

Investor optimism over potential U.S.–Iran de-escalation is driving short-term market relief despite ongoing geopolitical instability

Overview (Key Points)

Global markets responded swiftly to signals of potential diplomacy, as reports of a possible U.S.-led ceasefire effort with Iran triggered a shift in investor sentiment. The reaction highlights how expectations—not confirmed outcomes—are currently driving price action.

European equities moved higher while oil prices declined, reflecting optimism that energy supply disruptions could ease if tensions in the Gulf de-escalate. This comes after weeks of heightened volatility tied to conflict in the region.

Despite Iran publicly rejecting negotiations, markets are pricing in the possibility of backchannel diplomacy or temporary ceasefire arrangements, suggesting investors are positioning ahead of potential policy or geopolitical shifts.

The broader implication is clear: global financial markets remain highly sensitive to geopolitical developments, where even tentative diplomatic signals can influence capital flows, commodities, and currencies.

Key Developments

1. European Markets Rally on Ceasefire Hopes

European equities posted gains as investors reacted to potential de-escalation signals.
    • STOXX 600 rose approximately 1.4%, indicating renewed risk appetite
    • FTSE 100 gained over 1%, though broader monthly losses remain

2. Oil Prices Pull Back Amid Supply Optimism

Energy markets saw a notable reversal following weeks of sharp increases.
    • Brent crude dropped over 5%, falling below $100 per barrel
    • Decline reflects expectations that Gulf oil flows could stabilize if tensions ease

3. Strait of Hormuz Remains a Critical Risk Factor

Despite market optimism, physical supply risks remain unresolved.
    • Key shipping routes are still partially restricted and vulnerable
    • Roughly 20% of global energy supply depends on this corridor

4. Bonds, Currency, and Gold Reflect Mixed Sentiment

Markets are balancing optimism with caution across asset classes.
    • Bond yields declined, signaling continued demand for safety
    • U.S. dollar strengthened slightly, while the euro weakened
    • Gold prices rose, indicating ongoing hedging against uncertainty

5. Economic Risks Persist Beneath Market Optimism

Underlying economic pressures continue to build despite short-term relief.
    • German business confidence declined, signaling economic strain
    • Rising energy costs still threaten inflation and recession risks globally

Why It Matters

This development illustrates how financial markets are increasingly driven by geopolitical expectations, not just economic fundamentals. Even the suggestion of diplomacy can trigger rapid repricing across global assets.

Energy remains the central variable. Oil price swings directly influence inflation, production costs, and consumer spending, making geopolitical stability a key driver of economic outcomes.

For policymakers, this creates a challenging environment where monetary and fiscal strategies must adapt quickly to external shocks driven by conflict and diplomacy.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

    • Currency volatility increases as energy prices fluctuate
    • Stronger U.S. dollar reflects safe-haven demand during uncertainty
    • Oil-dependent economies face shifting trade balances and currency pressure
    • Purchasing power is directly impacted by inflation tied to energy costs

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1: Geopolitics Driving Financial System Behavior

Global markets are increasingly reacting to political and military developments, signaling a shift where geopolitical influence rivals traditional economic indicators in shaping financial outcomes.

• Pillar 2: Energy Markets as the Core of Financial Stability

Control over energy supply routes like the Strait of Hormuz is emerging as a central lever of global financial power, influencing everything from currency strength to inflation and capital flows.

Conclusion

The market reaction to potential ceasefire discussions highlights a fragile balance between optimism and underlying risk. While investors are quick to price in positive developments, the reality on the ground remains uncertain.

This environment underscores the growing importance of real-time geopolitical developments in shaping financial markets, where sentiment can shift rapidly with each new headline.

As energy markets, currencies, and equities continue to respond to evolving conditions, volatility is likely to remain elevated.

This is not just a market reaction — it’s a reflection of how deeply geopolitics now drives the global financial system.
