The Dollar Handshake By Reset Intelligence
The Dollar Handshake
By Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT
On Wednesday, two things happened on opposite sides of the world, and the headlines filed them on separate pages.
In Baghdad, Iraq’s new central bank governor shook the hand of Washington’s top diplomat. In Washington, the same day, the US Treasury Secretary named the dollar as the door every sanctioned nation has to walk back through.
What actually happened
The new governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Nizar Nasser Hussein, received the senior US diplomat in the country, Charge d’Affaires Joshua Harris. The bank put the meeting at the top of its own news page. They discussed aligning Iraq’s external transfers and dollar sales to international standards – the exact files a country works through when it wants its banks back onto the global dollar system.
Hours away, on CNBC, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent read out the list. Venezuela is coming back to invoice in dollars. Iran will do the same. Russia, he said, will want back in once the war in Ukraine ends. For years the story was that the world was leaving the dollar. He said the opposite, on camera.
And Baghdad spent the same week cleaning house in public.
• The handshake – CBI Governor Nizar Nasser Hussein met US Charge d’Affaires Joshua Harris, June 24.
• The declaration – Bessent: Venezuela and Iran to invoice in dollars, Russia to follow.
• The cleanup – the Jumaili oil-ministry corruption case has passed $106 million, and a former provincial governor has been arrested.
• The deadline – Iraq’s ASYCUDA customs verification turns mandatory July 10.
• The oil – West Texas crude near $69 as the Strait of Hormuz reopens.
That is the short version. The moves are public. The part we do every single day is connect how they fit together – and what they mean for the dinar in your drawer.
The dollar is not being abandoned. It is being rebuilt, one sanctioned nation at a time. The people who position before the announcement end up on a different side of the line than the ones who wait for the news.
