GP Q: Iraq’s Date with Destiny
10-1-2026
IRAQ — DATE WITH DESTINY
1 October 2026
Iraqi Sovereignty Day.
Inside a government window running 30 September through 3 October, Baghdad is marking the end of the US-led Coalition combat mission. Iraqi institutions hold security and national decisions. Cooperation continues as a bilateral partnership, not a coalition command.
This is a political and security milestone. It is not a new dinar rate, and it is not a banking decree. Those files move on Central Bank of Iraq and Ministry of Finance timelines — not on a holiday calendar.
Mark the date. Hold the distinction. A new official rate exists only after a Central Bank decision and a public announcement.
Facts first. Official announcements second. Rumours last.

Reset Intelligence The coalition that arrived in 2014 closes its mission today, with the last soldiers gone since Sunday. On Tuesday, the day before that deadline, Iraq's Council of Ministers voted through...the law that puts the Popular Mobilization Forces on the same footing as every other state security agency - Service terms. Ranks. Retirement. Compensation for the families of the fallen. Al-Zaidi's office referred it to parliament the same evening...Kataib Hezbollah, the faction that refuses every version of the deal, announced it will monitor Iraqi airspace from Thursday and bring the government down if the ban on Iranian flights holds.
Jeff The 30th was the agreed upon date for the US troops to be out. We're at the point at which the troops are out and have exited Iraq. Iraq is now shifting gears. They're preparing to go international ...Everything critical is happening at the same time after the point at which US troops are out. They're being declared sovereign...You guys are extremely close to the rate change...
Mnt Goat On October 22, 2025 the CBI told us they planned to issue a 20 dinar note as one of the newer lower denominations, also even though they never issued a matching 20,000. They now plan to launch that 20,000 note too at this time and this is yet another sign to us that these three zero notes, once they are taken out of “public” circulation, will still be useful and used for very large cash transactions of dinar for inter-banking and international transactions only. This also reinforces once again that our dinars, outside of Iraq, that we investors now hold, will remain valid and will be exchanged at the going rate... Example: a 20,000 three zero dinar note may fetch a whopping 80,000 US Dollars in the exchange to US dollars if the US rate on FOREX comes out at $4.00.

Susan Kokinda Q: Jim Rickards says Trump plans to unlock a $150 trillion trust fund hidden for 161 years. The wealth transfer no one’s talking about won’t be televised. It’s moving quietly into digital assets, commodities, and emerging markets. Only a few are positioned.
