The issue of completing the cabinet has entered a new phase of political activity, following indications of a convergence of positions among the blocs regarding the vacant portfolios, at a time when attention is turning to the House of Representatives to resolve this long-awaited entitlement, amid expectations that the nominated names will be put to a vote during the middle of next August.
MP Ali Nahir said in a press statement followed by “Baghdad Today”, that “the completion of the ministerial cabinet will be in the middle of next month, especially after the understandings that took place between the political blocs regarding ministerial entitlements”, indicating that “its completion also means the completion of citizens’ rights.”
For his part, MP Jawad Rahim Al-Saadi said that “the completion of the cabinet was supposed to have taken place before the Prime Minister’s visit to the United States, but its resolution was postponed pending the arrival of the candidates’ names,” noting that “the number of remaining ministerial portfolios is nine.”
For his part, Walaa al-Jizani, deputy head of the Badr parliamentary bloc, confirmed that “the deliberations between the political blocs are still ongoing based on entitlements,” expecting to proceed with the vote on the remaining ministerial cabinet “in the middle of next August.”
This statement comes amid ongoing negotiations between political forces to complete the formation of the new government, after a number of ministerial portfolios were decided and other positions, including deputy prime ministers and some service ministries, remain subject to negotiation between blocs according to the principle of electoral entitlement and political balances, amid anticipation of the announcement of the final formula of the government cabinet in the coming days.

Reset Intelligence An economic expert floated removing one zero from the dinar. No official has confirmed it...Removing a zero is a redenomination. It changes the face of the note, not what the note buys. It is not the reprice this community has waited on for 20 years. The rumor is the noise. The machinery is the story. The number on the note has not moved yet. The country underneath it is being rebuilt to carry a different one.
Boot-On-The-Ground Guru OmarThe CBI deputy governor said today...redenomination and revaluation...They gave us two big steps...Step #1: Redenomination...they gave us four categories for this. 1. The redenomination phase removes the three zeros from circulation from currency. 2. Technical and administrative cleanup. 3. New notes issued, old notes retired. 4. Zero change in the USD purchasing power. It labels change but value does not change. Step #2: Revaluation. 1. The CBI raises the official exchange rate. 2. This produces a real gain in the United States dollar terms. 3. This is the event holders are positioned for.

Can you say RV, can you say WTO? WOW!
Final Silver CRASH Coming! $39/oz Likely | Chris Vermeulen
Liberty and Finance: 7-27-2026
Gold and silver may not have reached their final lows, according to technical analyst Chris Vermeulen, who warns that both metals could see another major leg down before the next long-term bull market begins.
Using Fibonacci analysis, he explains why silver could fall toward $40-$39 and gold toward $3,600-$3,300 despite growing bullish sentiment among investors.
Vermeulen also points to a weakening stock market, a strengthening U.S. dollar, and rising oil prices as potential catalysts for a broad market washout.
He discusses why panic selling could create one of the best long-term buying opportunities in years for precious metals.
Finally, Chris shares what indicators he's watching to determine when the next sustained bull market in gold and silver is ready to begin.
