Saleh said the anticipated plan includes domestic and foreign borrowing, along with maximizing tax and fee revenues, as well as proceeding with financial reforms aimed at enhancing economic stability.

He explained that domestic borrowing is a quick solution to cover salaries and operational obligations, while external borrowing provides dollar liquidity that contributes to supporting the state’s financial situation.

He pointed out that reforming the Rafidain Bank and the Rasheed Bank has become a necessity for developing development financing, digital and credit services, stressing that any emergency plan will not succeed without real financial reform that includes controlling operational spending and reducing waste.

Saleh explained that the current crisis represents a real test for the structure of the Iraqi economy, which is heavily dependent on oil, which calls for accelerating economic reform steps and diversifying revenue sources.  link

Tishwash:  Sovereign wealth funds... do they represent Iraq's gateway to financial stability and sustainable development?

The Baghdad Center for Legal and Economic Development held an economic workshop today, Thursday, May 21, 2026, entitled:

“Sovereign Wealth Funds and Their Impact on Establishing Cash Liquidity,” presented by Professor Dr. Jaafar Talib Al-Jundail, and attended by a select group of academics, researchers, and those interested in economic and financial affairs.

At the beginning of the session, Professor Thamer Al-Haimas, Vice President of the Center, welcomed the attendees and Professor Dr. Jaafar Al-Jundail, stressing the importance of the topic at hand, due to its direct connection to the future of rentier economies, and to the ability of countries to manage their wealth and achieve financial and monetary stability and sustainable development.

In his opening remarks, Al-Haims pointed out that sovereign wealth funds are no longer just financial savings tools, but have transformed in many international experiences into strategic institutions for protecting the national economy, regulating liquidity, absorbing the effects of economic crises, and securing the rights of future generations, especially in countries that depend mainly on oil resources.

He also reviewed a part of Dr. Jaafar Al-Jundail’s scientific and academic career, pointing to his research and scientific contributions in the fields of economic thought, natural resource economics, energy and petroleum, as well as his extensive academic experience inside and outside Iraq.

For his part, Dr. Jaafar Al-Jundail delivered his lecture, in which he addressed the concept of sovereign wealth funds and their economic and financial objectives, drawing on the experiences of a number of countries that have succeeded in managing their financial surpluses and transforming them into tools for investment, development, and long-term monetary stability.

Al-Jundail stressed that the sovereign wealth fund is not just a savings vehicle, but a strategic tool for managing financial surpluses, reducing the effects of inflation, enhancing monetary stability, and providing safe liquidity for the state during crises and emergencies. He pointed out that Iraq needs a long-term economic vision linked to sound management, governance, and transparency in order to invest national wealth in a way that serves sustainable development and the rights of future generations.

The workshop witnessed interventions and discussions by a number of attendees, who presented their observations and insights on the reality of the Iraqi economy and the possibility of establishing effective sovereign wealth funds, while the lecturer answered various questions and inquiries, which enriched the workshop and opened the door to an important economic and knowledge-based dialogue.

At the end of the session, Dr. Ali Mahdi, the head of the center, presented a plaque of appreciation to Professor Dr. Jaafar Talib Al-Jundail, in recognition of his scientific contributions, academic contributions, and accumulated research experience in the field of economics and scientific thought. link

Tishwash:  Among them are members of parliament: The US Treasury sanctions nine individuals for allegedly facilitating Hezbollah activities.

The US Treasury Department announced on Thursday new sanctions targeting nine individuals accused of facilitating Hezbollah's activities and undermining Lebanese sovereignty.

The sanctions package included members of the Lebanese parliament, the Iranian ambassador to Beirut, Mohammad Reza Raouf Sheibani, and Lebanese security officials, who it said "exploited their positions to support Hezbollah and obstruct efforts to disarm it."

The US Treasury, in a statement translated by Shafaq News Agency, said that the sanctioned individuals "serve Tehran's malicious agenda and impede the path to peace and recovery for the Lebanese people."

In conjunction with these measures, the US State Department’s “Rewards for Justice” program has set up a financial reward of up to $10 million for any information leading to the dismantling of Hezbollah’s financial networks and mechanisms.

Washington issued a strongly worded warning that this step is "just the beginning," vowing to hold accountable anyone who continues to provide cover for the party, cooperates with it, or undermines Lebanon's sovereignty.

A statement issued by the US State Department stressed that Lebanon’s stability, security and independence require the complete disarmament of Hezbollah and the restoration of the Lebanese government’s exclusive and absolute authority over the security file throughout the country.

The statement concluded by reaffirming the United States' commitment to supporting the Lebanese people and their legitimate institutions in building a more secure and prosperous future.  link

Tishwash:  Transportation: Commencement of the second phase of the trade exchange area

The Ministry of Transport has begun implementing the second phase of the trade exchange yard project located in the Al-Taji area at the entrance to Baghdad-Salah Al-Din, as part of its plans to develop logistical infrastructure and enhance trade exchange between governorates and border crossings.

The Director of the General Company for Land Transport affiliated with the Ministry, Murtadha Karim Al-Shahmani, said in an interview with the official newspaper, which was followed by “Al-Eqtisad News”, that the engineering and technical staff affiliated with the Ministry have actually started the work of the second phase of the project, which extends over an area of ​​(387) dunams, indicating that the work is taking place in parallel with the completion of the contracting procedures for the commercial exchange square project at the entrance to Baghdad - Al-Kut, which has an area of ​​about (210) dunams.

He added that the trade exchange yards projects are witnessing remarkable progress in completion rates, especially the projects surrounding the city of Baghdad, which are known as “retail” projects, noting that these projects represent an important step to support the land transport sector and regulate loading and unloading operations, as well as their role in reducing congestion within the capital and enhancing the efficiency of logistical services.

Al-Shahmani explained that the ministry is preparing to begin work on the Baghdad-Kirkuk trade exchange yard project, which covers an area of ​​(350) dunams, after obtaining official approvals and no objection from the relevant government agencies to allocate the land and implement the project, noting that this project will constitute an important addition to the commercial transport network in the country.

He pointed out that the project for the trade exchange yard at the entrance to Baghdad - Anbar - Babylon has reached very advanced stages of implementation, especially after the start of work to connect the yard with the international road, which will contribute to facilitating the movement of trucks and goods, and achieving greater smoothness in transportation and trade exchange operations between the governorates.

Regarding the trade exchange yards projects at the border crossings, Al-Shahmani affirmed that the Ministry continues to follow up on the procedures related to the Shalamja, Al-Shaib, Arar and Trebil yards projects, while working to study the technical and administrative obstacles that may face the implementation phases, and finding appropriate solutions to ensure the completion of these projects according to the specified time plans, in order to enhance the role of the border crossings in supporting the national economy and stimulating regional trade   link

Freedom & Prosperity: Undoing The Old Regime With Tactical Precision

What We Need To Keep Our Eyes On

The Iran conflict is wrapping, and the immediate payoff is already visible at the pump. Gas potentially dropping to $1.85 per gallon is not a temporary dip D. Trump mentioned. It is the direct result of reclaimed energy dominance and severed extortion rackets that kept prices artificially high for decades.

Americans will feel this in their wallets within weeks as transportation costs collapse across every sector. Hang on through the transition because the short-term pain of realignment is nothing compared to the structural liberation coming.

The old chokepoint masters are finished, and their ability to punish the American consumer is over. This is just the first visible crack in the extraction machine that stole your prosperity for generations. We do not have long at all people. The Iran agreement is already being rolled out.

Currency revaluation is accelerating in the background, and it will rewrite the value of suppressed assets held by everyday Americans.

Once the fraudulent debt layers are stripped and the dollar finds its new anchor, the purchasing power we lost to engineered inflation returns with compound interest.

Short term, expect volatility as the old system spasms but long term, your savings, wages, and retirement accounts will reflect real value instead of fiat illusion. I have seen the architecture being built, and it is unbreakable.

The revaluation corridors opening through Iraq, Venezuela, and beyond are the mechanism that returns stolen wealth to its rightful owners. This is not hope it is the mechanical outcome of destroying the debt-slave engine.

Just hang on because what lies ahead is not incremental improvement it is a complete civilizational upgrade that none of us fully expected ten years ago. The Iran wind-down removes the last major energy weapon the old networks could wield.

Currency reset, technological liberation, manufacturing rebirth, and honest money combine into a force multiplier for American prosperity.

The operational maps, and the trajectory is clear. The Deepstate’s system of control is being dismantled root and branch while the New Republic is bolted into place.

Your children will grow up in a country where opportunity is real, debt is honest, and the future belongs to those who build it.

Jeff They have a set date on this.  They've already agreed to a date.  Bankers drafted this.  This has a date behind it. Plus, there's steps that Iraq has to do.  They need time to do these steps but they also have a scheduled date...It happens when it happens.  We're not privy to know what that date is.  This is a guessing game for all of us.  We can observe their actions...

Frank26  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  OMAR:  On television...the idea of revaluing the Iraqi dinar to go to 1 Iraqi dinar to equal 1 American dollar and it features Mazin al-Ashiqr...It's also a Twitter/x post from Mazin al-Ashiqr.  He's sharing a clip from a television discussion.  The Arabic text is something like, 'The first step for the Iraqi economy is printing new currency - a dinar equal to $1.' ...The economist is making it clear this is not an official action.  This is a common debate in Iraqi media and politics...It's nothing yet official. FRANK:  It is very healthy to see a constant conversation about the need of a new exchange rate...The economists are delivering the truth about your monetary reform because the information is very critical to be absorbed by the Iraqi citizens NOW.

Ross Why is the CBI suddenly announcing meetings with the Federal Reserve and US Treasury right now?  IQD is going to revalue and to be honest I’m shocked the CBI is giving such a huge signal about it.  Meanwhile the Iran War kicked off Feb 28… and suddenly we get a new reform-focused Iraqi PM, a 100-day corruption cleanup mandate, CBI saying “no devalue” + “no sanctions on funds,” public US praise, and scheduled high-level meetings with the new Fed team + Treasury. These meetings are about real technical work: banking reforms, reserve management, dollar liquidity, and deeper financial integration...unlimited amounts of new convergences keep showing up...All moving in the same window heading into America’s 250th...

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Hormuz Crisis Deepens as Pakistan Mediates U.S.-Iran Talks and U.S. Navy Warns of Operational Limits

Rising tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz are intensifying fears of a prolonged global energy shock, while diplomatic efforts race to prevent further economic and military escalation.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Hormuz Crisis Deepens as Pakistan Mediates U.S.-Iran Talks and U.S. Navy Warns of Operational Limits

Rising tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz are intensifying fears of a prolonged global energy shock, while diplomatic efforts race to prevent further economic and military escalation.

Overview

Pakistan has stepped up diplomatic efforts between the United States and Iran as negotiations continue over ending the ongoing regional conflict and restoring stability to global energy markets.

At the same time, new remarks from the U.S. Chief of Naval Operations have raised serious concerns about America’s ability to fully secure commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz during a contested military environment.

The developments come as oil prices remain elevated, shipping disruptions intensify, and investors increasingly fear a prolonged global energy and inflation crisis.

Key Developments

1. Pakistan Emerges as a Critical Diplomatic Intermediary

Pakistan is increasingly positioning itself as one of the few regional powers capable of maintaining communication with both Washington and Tehran.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi recently held meetings with senior Pakistani officials following reports that Islamabad conveyed updated U.S. proposals to Tehran.

Diplomatic efforts are reportedly focused on:

  • Preventing further military escalation

  • Reopening shipping routes

  • Reducing oil market instability

  • Negotiating temporary maritime arrangements

  • Creating conditions for broader future talks

Pakistan’s growing role reflects the rising importance of middle powers in managing global geopolitical crises.

2. Strait of Hormuz Remains the Core Flashpoint

The Strait of Hormuz continues to sit at the center of negotiations and global market fears.

Iran has reportedly explored proposals involving shipping conditions, maritime controls, or possible toll mechanisms tied to passage through the strategic waterway.

The United States has rejected any effort by Tehran to regulate the strait, viewing Hormuz as an essential international trade corridor critical to global economic stability.

Before the conflict escalated, the strait handled roughly 20% of global oil and LNG shipments, making disruptions extremely dangerous for world markets.

3. U.S. Navy Signals Operational Constraints

A major development emerged after Admiral Daryl Caudle reportedly acknowledged before Congress that escorting commercial ships through a heavily contested Strait of Hormuz could exceed the operational capacity of the U.S. Navy.

The remarks underscore growing concerns that even the world’s largest naval force may face serious challenges maintaining continuous maritime security under escalating conflict conditions.

Analysts say the comments could:

  • Increase market anxiety

  • Encourage further oil price volatility

  • Strengthen Iran’s negotiating leverage

  • Raise insurance and shipping costs globally

The statement also reinforces how fragile global energy infrastructure remains during geopolitical crises.

4. Global Markets Brace for Extended Energy Disruption

Financial markets remain highly sensitive to every development tied to Gulf shipping and energy flows.

Oil prices continue climbing amid fears that prolonged disruptions could trigger:

  • Higher global inflation

  • Central bank tightening pressure

  • Slower economic growth

  • Increased sovereign debt stress

  • Currency instability in energy importing nations

The International Energy Agency has reportedly warned of possible “red zone” energy conditions during the summer if Gulf shipping disruptions continue worsening.

Why It Matters

The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the single most important chokepoints in the global financial system.

Any prolonged instability threatens not only oil markets, but also:

  • Global trade flows

  • Inflation stability

  • Bond markets

  • Currency systems

  • International supply chains

The situation demonstrates how geopolitical conflict is increasingly becoming directly tied to financial system stability.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Rising energy prices and prolonged geopolitical instability often place pressure on fiat currencies through inflation, debt expansion, and weakening purchasing power.

Countries heavily dependent on imported energy may face:

  • Currency volatility

  • Higher borrowing costs

  • Reduced economic growth

  • Reserve stress

  • Greater pressure to diversify trade settlement systems

This environment continues accelerating discussions around multipolar finance, commodity backed trade, and de-dollarization strategies.

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar 1: Energy Security Is Driving Global Financial Realignment

Control of energy corridors and shipping routes is increasingly shaping monetary policy, trade systems, and geopolitical alliances worldwide.

  • Pillar 2: The Existing Global Order Is Showing Structural Fragility

The difficulty of securing major trade chokepoints highlights vulnerabilities within the current globalized system and reinforces the trend toward regionalization and strategic economic blocs.

This is not just a regional conflict — it is a direct stress test of the global financial and energy system.

🌱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.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Friday Morning 5-22-26

Government advisor: The Ministry of Finance is preparing a three-year emergency plan to boost revenues.

Money and Business   Economy News – Baghdad    The Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, revealed on Friday five options to address the shortfall in financial revenues and restructure the Iraqi economy, in light of the challenges resulting from the decline in oil exports and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, while indicating that the Ministry of Finance is moving towards preparing a three-year emergency plan to boost revenues.

Government advisor: The Ministry of Finance is preparing a three-year emergency plan to boost revenues.

Money and Business   Economy News – Baghdad    The Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, revealed on Friday five options to address the shortfall in financial revenues and restructure the Iraqi economy, in light of the challenges resulting from the decline in oil exports and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, while indicating that the Ministry of Finance is moving towards preparing a three-year emergency plan to boost revenues.

Saleh said that "Iraq is facing a financial gap estimated at about $9.5 billion per month as a result of the decline in oil exports," noting that "the Ministry of Finance is moving towards preparing a three-pronged emergency plan that includes internal and external borrowing, in addition to measures to maximize non-oil revenues through taxes, fees and financial reforms."

He explained that “domestic borrowing is a quick solution to cover salaries and operational obligations, but it may lead to a withdrawal of liquidity from banks, an increase in the cost of local financing, and a weakening of private sector financing, while external borrowing provides liquidity in dollars and maintains relative monetary stability, but it is linked to reform conditions and an increase in debt service burdens.”

He added that “maximizing non-oil revenues is the most strategic option in the medium and long term, through controlling border crossings and customs, automating the tax system, reducing the informal economy, and improving collection without harming economic activity,” noting that “implementing the Government Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) contributes to strengthening financial oversight, reducing waste and corruption, and raising the efficiency of public spending management.”

Saleh stressed that “reforming the banking sector, especially Rafidain and Rasheed banks, is necessary to develop development finance, digital and credit services, as well as the importance of reforming private banks to achieve financial inclusion, support small and medium enterprises and attract investments.”

He explained that “activating the Public-Private Partnership Law would alleviate pressure on the general budget and create new job opportunities, provided that a stable legal environment, investment guarantees, and combating administrative corruption are provided,” stressing that “any emergency plan will not succeed without real financial reform that includes controlling operational spending, reducing waste in government contracts, and adopting spending priorities linked to production and development.”

Saleh explained that "the current crisis represents a real test for the structure of the Iraqi economy, which is dependent on oil," stressing that "accelerating financial and banking reforms and diversifying the economy will enhance the state's ability to cope with geopolitical and economic shocks." https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=69391

Two Chinese Sources Reveal Efforts Beijing Might Make To Resolve The Strait Of Hormuz Crisis Between The US And Iran.

Arabic and international   Economy News - Follow-up   China may seek to intensify its diplomatic efforts with both the United States and Iran regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz following U.S. President Donald Trump's visit to Beijing last week, but it is unlikely to play a mediating role in the Iranian crisis, according to two sources familiar with the Chinese government's thinking who spoke to CNN.

Wu Xinbo, an advisor to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, told CNN that China is eager to find a solution to the historic oil crisis triggered by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which has now entered its fourth month.

Wu stated, “We will work with both sides on this matter,” and continued, “We will maintain communication with the United States on this issue through diplomatic channels, because from the perspective of our national interest, reopening the Strait of Hormuz as soon as possible is a very urgent matter.”

US officials have publicly called on China to do more to pressure Iran to end the conflict on terms favorable to Washington. Trump has stated that he does not need the help of Chinese President Xi Jinping, even though the two discussed the need to reopen the Strait of Hormuz during their summit in Beijing.

But a Chinese source familiar with the situation said there are limits to how far Beijing will go to put pressure on Tehran.

The source, who asked not to be identified in order to speak freely, said: “China does want to push for an end to the crisis, but it will not use its economic leverage to pressure Iran, as the United States hopes.”

The source added: “China’s position is that it will not exert pressure on Iran in this regard, because the roots of the problem lie between the United States and Israel, and they should have a leading role in ending the crisis because they are the ones who started it.”

Countries like Pakistan have played a direct mediating role in talks between the United States and Iran. China, however, is less willing to assume this role, recognizing that whoever does so must maintain balanced relations with both the United States and Iran, a condition Beijing cannot meet, according to the source. https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=69393

US Secretary Of State: Some Progress Has Been Made In Negotiations With Iran

Arabic and international   Economy News - Follow-up   US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Friday some progress in the ongoing negotiations with Iran.

The minister said at a press conference that "there has been some progress in the negotiations with Iran."

He noted that he "does not believe any country would accept paying fees for passage through the Strait of Hormuz," stressing that "this type of measure is internationally unacceptable."

He added: "Attempts to impose fees on traffic in the Strait of Hormuz constitute extortion that no country will accept."

WSJ: US Investigation Into Iran's Use Of Binance Platform To Circumvent Sanctions

Dialogues   Economy News - Follow-up   The Wall Street Journal revealed that billions of dollars flowed through the Binance cryptocurrency trading platform to networks that fund the Iranian regime, at a time when the US Department of Justice is investigating Iran's use of the platform to circumvent sanctions.

According to the newspaper, one of the top financiers of the Iranian regime conducted transactions worth $850 million through the Binance platform.

She added that Iranian businessman Babak Zanjani is the person responsible for these transactions through the platform, noting that US investigations are focusing on the mechanisms of using cryptocurrencies to circumvent financial restrictions imposed on Tehran.

Last April, the US Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control imposed sanctions on a number of electronic wallets linked to Iran, resulting in the freezing of $344 million in cryptocurrency, according to TASS.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that these measures are part of ongoing efforts to prevent Tehran from "providing, transferring, and bringing funds home," stressing via the "X" platform that the department will continue, as part of the "economic wrath" campaign, to systematically deny Iran access to its financial resources.

Bisent added that the United States will track all funds that Tehran tries to take out of the country, and will target the various sources of funding associated with ithttps://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=69390

European Stocks Rise Amid Signs Of Progress In US-Iran Talks

Stock Exchange     Economy News - Follow-up    European shares rose on Friday as investors were optimistic that there were signs of progress in US-Iranian peace talks, despite the two sides continuing to disagree on key issues.

The pan-European STOXX 600 index rose 0.5% to 623.79 points by 07:03 GMT, and is on track to end the week higher.

The main points of contention between Tehran and Washington are Iran’s uranium stockpile and control of the Strait of Hormuz, through which, before the war, more than 20% of the world’s energy needs passed, according to Reuters.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said there were "some good signs" in the talks, and a senior Iranian source told Reuters that the gap between the two sides had narrowed.

Analysts expect that reaching an agreement that includes opening the strait will lead to a rise in European stocks, which have lagged behind their counterparts because the region's reliance on oil imports has negatively affected markets and led to higher inflation.

Official data showed German consumer confidence recovering as June approached, and other data confirmed that the German economy grew by 0.3% in the first quarter of 2026. The DAX index rose 0.7%.

Financial markets expect the European Central Bank to raise interest rates at least twice before the end of the year.

Rob Cunningham: What is Omni-Sovereignty?

Rob Cunningham: What is Omni-Sovereignty?

5-21-2026

What is OMNI-SOVEREIGNTY?

IF any protocol truly serves to enable sovereignty rather than replace it, the answer about its value becomes surprisingly clear.

The value would not come from XRP replacing nations.

It would come from making dependence optional.

Rob Cunningham: What is Omni-Sovereignty?

5-21-2026

What is OMNI-SOVEREIGNTY?

IF any protocol truly serves to enable sovereignty rather than replace it, the answer about its value becomes surprisingly clear.

The value would not come from XRP replacing nations.

It would come from making dependence optional.

Monetary sovereignty → ability to issue, govern, settle, redeem, and control your own unit of account.

Protocol sovereignty → ability to participate in global exchange without surrendering governance.

Political sovereignty → ability to make laws independent of external coercion.

Those are not identical.

If – and this is a very large if – a public settlement layer allowed every nation to:

keep its own currency,
keep its own fiscal authority,
settle instantly,
avoid reserve dependency,
avoid correspondent banking bottlenecks,
preserve voluntary participation,
preserve exit rights,

… then the protocol itself begins behaving more like:

TCP/IP for value not one currency to rule them all.

That distinction matters.

Under that hypothetical, the value driver is not:
“XRP becomes the world’s money.”

It would be:
“XRP becomes neutral liquidity that allows every nation to keep its own money.”

That is a very different proposition.

If humanity collectively concluded a system delivered:

• No forced monetary union
• Mutual consent only
• Public verification
• Low-friction settlement
• Open participation
• Exit without permission

…then network economics suggests value could become extremely large because neutrality compounds.

Historically:

• Shipping lanes became valuable
• Railroads became valuable
• TCP/IP became valuable
• Settlement rails became valuable

Not because they owned nations.

Because they connected them.

But there is an equally important sovereignty test:

A protocol cannot credibly claim OmniSovereignty if:

1- governance centralizes,
2- infrastructure can be controlled,
3- liquidity concentrates into a small group,
4- participation becomes coercive,
5- exit becomes impractical.

True sovereignty requires the continued ability to say:

“No.”

So the highest expression of this idea WOULD NOT be:

One ledger. One ruler.

It WOULD be:

One open protocol. Many sovereign nations. Infinite voluntary agreements.

China Expands Diplomatic Influence as Xi’s Possible North Korea Visit Signals Regional Realignment

Beijing appears to be strengthening its strategic position across Asia and the Middle East as geopolitical tensions and global energy instability continue reshaping the international order.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

China Expands Diplomatic Influence as Xi’s Possible North Korea Visit Signals Regional Realignment

Beijing appears to be strengthening its strategic position across Asia and the Middle East as geopolitical tensions and global energy instability continue reshaping the international order.

Overview

Reports surrounding a possible visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping to North Korea are drawing significant international attention as China increases diplomatic engagement across multiple geopolitical flashpoints.

At the same time, Pakistan is reportedly intensifying mediation efforts between the United States and Iran as tensions surrounding oil markets and the Strait of Hormuz continue threatening global economic stability.

Together, these developments point toward a broader strategic shift in which China and key regional powers are attempting to expand diplomatic influence during a period of growing fragmentation in the global financial and political system.

Key Developments

1. Xi’s Possible North Korea Visit Signals Strategic Messaging

International analysts say a potential visit by Xi Jinping to North Korea would carry major geopolitical significance.

A high level summit between Xi and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un would likely focus on:

  • Regional security coordination

  • Trade and economic cooperation

  • Sanctions pressure

  • Military deterrence in East Asia

  • China’s role as a regional stabilizing power

The visit would also reinforce China’s influence over Pyongyang at a time when tensions remain elevated across the Korean Peninsula.

Observers believe Beijing is attempting to strengthen diplomatic leverage ahead of future negotiations involving the United States, regional security arrangements, and broader Asian trade dynamics.

2. China Continues Expanding Global Diplomatic Influence

The reports come shortly after Xi hosted both U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Beijing during separate high profile meetings.

China appears increasingly focused on positioning itself as a central diplomatic power capable of engaging rival global actors simultaneously.

This strategy supports Beijing’s long term objective of building a more multipolar international system less dependent on traditional Western dominance.

Analysts say China’s growing diplomatic activity is closely tied to:

  • Energy security

  • Trade stability

  • Currency diversification

  • Supply chain protection

  • Long term geopolitical influence

3. Pakistan Pushes Mediation Between U.S. and Iran

Meanwhile, Pakistan has reportedly increased diplomatic efforts aimed at reducing tensions between Washington and Tehran amid ongoing instability in the Gulf region.

Officials are believed to be encouraging a temporary framework focused on:

  • Preventing further military escalation

  • Stabilizing oil shipping routes

  • Reducing risks around the Strait of Hormuz

  • Reopening broader negotiations

The mediation efforts come as elevated oil prices continue pressuring global markets and increasing fears of prolonged inflationary shocks.

Pakistan’s involvement also highlights how middle powers are becoming increasingly active in regional diplomacy as global power structures shift.

4. Energy Security Remains Central to Global Stability

The ongoing focus on Iran, shipping routes, and regional diplomacy reflects the enormous importance of energy security to the global financial system.

The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world’s most strategically important trade corridors, handling roughly one fifth of global oil and LNG shipments under normal conditions.

Any prolonged disruption threatens:

  • Global inflation stability

  • Central bank policy

  • Currency markets

  • Bond markets

  • International trade flows

This is one reason major powers are increasingly linking diplomacy directly to economic and financial security.

Why It Matters

The global system is becoming increasingly shaped by geopolitical alliances, regional diplomacy, and strategic economic positioning.

China’s expanding diplomatic activity demonstrates how major powers are competing not only through military strength or trade, but also through mediation, infrastructure influence, and energy partnerships.

At the same time, rising tensions involving Iran and global oil markets continue exposing vulnerabilities within the international financial system.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Geopolitical instability tied to energy markets often creates major ripple effects across currencies, inflation, and sovereign debt markets.

Countries are increasingly preparing for:

  • Greater financial fragmentation

  • Alternative trade settlement systems

  • Reduced dependency on Western financial institutions

  • Diversification away from dollar centered trade structures

China’s diplomatic expansion and the broader realignment across Asia and the Middle East may accelerate these long term shifts.

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar 1: Diplomacy Is Becoming Economic Strategy

Major powers are increasingly using diplomacy to secure energy flows, trade corridors, and long term financial influence rather than relying solely on military or economic pressure.

  • Pillar 2: Multipolar Power Structures Continue Emerging

China, Russia, BRICS nations, and regional powers are steadily building influence outside traditional Western dominated systems, accelerating the transition toward a more decentralized global order.

This is not just geopolitical maneuvering — it is part of the broader restructuring of global power, trade, and financial influence.

Washington Sanctions Lebanese Officials In Hezbollah Crackdown

2026-05-21 Shafaq News- Washington/ Beirut   The United States on Thursday sanctioned Lebanese lawmakers, security officials, and Iran’s ambassador to Beirut over alleged support for Hezbollah.

The sanctions targeted Hezbollah MPs Mohammad Raad, head of the group’s parliamentary bloc, Hassan Fadlallah, and Amin Sherri, as well as Ambassador Mohammad Reza Raouf Sheibani and several Lebanese security and financial figures accused by Washington of using their positions to support Hezbollah and undermine Lebanese sovereignty.

Washington Sanctions Lebanese Officials In Hezbollah Crackdown

2026-05-21 Shafaq News- Washington/ Beirut   The United States on Thursday sanctioned Lebanese lawmakers, security officials, and Iran’s ambassador to Beirut over alleged support for Hezbollah.

The sanctions targeted Hezbollah MPs Mohammad Raad, head of the group’s parliamentary bloc, Hassan Fadlallah, and Amin Sherri, as well as Ambassador Mohammad Reza Raouf Sheibani and several Lebanese security and financial figures accused by Washington of using their positions to support Hezbollah and undermine Lebanese sovereignty.

Washington warned the measures were “only the beginning,” vowing to pursue individuals and entities that continue to provide political, financial, or security cover for the group. The US State Department’s “Rewards for Justice” program also announced a reward of up to $10 million for information leading to the disruption of Hezbollah financing networks.

The United States has repeatedly targeted Hezbollah-linked political, financial, and commercial networks in Lebanon and across the region. In March, the Treasury Department sanctioned a global network accused of funneling more than $100 million to the group through companies operating in Lebanon, Syria, and other countries.

Hezbollah Calls US Sanctions An "Honor"

2026-05-21 Shafaq News- Beirut   Hezbollah dismissed a new round of US sanctions targeting Lebanese lawmakers, military officers, and officials from both Hezbollah and the Amal Movement, calling the measures an attempt at intimidation that would have no practical effect on the group's choices.

The sanctions, the group said in a statement, were designed to "reinforce aggression and give it a political boost" after Washington failed to deter the Lebanese from exercising what Hezbollah described as their legitimate right to resistance.

Hezbollah framed the designations as "a badge of honor on the chest of those included" and further confirmation that the group's path was correct.

Iraq’s Federal Court to hear challenge to Al-Zaidi premiership

2026-05-21 Shafaq News- Baghdad   Iraq’s Federal Supreme Court, the country’s highest judicial authority, on Thursday set July 1 as the date for its first hearing in a lawsuit challenging the legality of Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi’s appointment, marking the first formal constitutional challenge to his mandate since taking office.

 Raed Al-Maliki, the former lawmaker who filed the case, said in a statement that he had received the official court notification by email along with the response submitted by the legal representative of President Nizar Amedi.

 The presidential response argued that the plaintiff lacked the necessary legal interest to pursue the case and that the dispute was improperly directed at the presidency because Al-Zaidi’s nomination originated from the Shiite Coordination Framework (CF), the country’s largest parliamentary bloc, rather than the president himself.

f     ‎د. رائد المالكي / نائب مستقل‎'s Post

*************************

We were officially informed by the Federal Supreme Court that on Wednesday, 7 / 1 a date for the first session to consider the numbered claim (152 / Federal / 2026) the appeal of the health of Mr. Ali Al-Zaidi as Prime Minister.

We have received the official notification via e-mail, attached with it the responsive bill to the representative of the President of the Republic on the claim filed by Dr. Raed Al-Malki, and the following statement included:

- Payment by not availing interest at the appeal Dr. Raed Al-Malki

- Payment by not directing the opposition, that the assignment was done by the most numerous parliamentary unit and not by the President of the Republic.

- Defended the availability of political experience of the candidate, Mohtja, that he has connections to the political media, in addition to the fact that he owns a "Degla" space channel that deals with and transmits political matters.

- The representative of the President confirmed that whoever holds such a position should concede the interests he possesses after assuming the position because of the conflict of interests, and otherwise he will be held accountable.

We would like to emphasize our adherence to continuing the claim and attending its sessions, a response list will be submitted to the payment of the President's agent, and we tolerate not to respond to the claim under the pretext of not having personal interest, because the appeal of the health is a decree that the Prime Minister is a public lawsuit that is not applicable to private claims.

The respone also defended Al-Zaidi’s political qualifications, citing his ties with political circles and ownership of Dijlah TV, a satellite channel focused on political affairs. 

According to the filing, the president’s legal representative further argued that officials assuming senior state positions are required to relinquish private interests after taking office in order to avoid conflicts of interest, warning that failure to do so could expose them to legal accountability. 

Al-Maliki also filed a separate complaint with Iraq’s Integrity Commission, accusing Al-Zaidi and Electricity Minister Ali Saadi Wahib of conflicts of interest linked to alleged ongoing business and financial dealings involving state institutions.   https://shafaq.com/en/Iraq/Iraq-s-Federal-Court-to-hear-challenge-to-Al-Zaidi-premiership

Ali al-Alaq: Central Bank Participation in Budget Drafting Is Essential

Ali Mohsen al-Alaq, Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI)

The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) stressed the need for stronger coordination between fiscal and monetary policy, stating that the bank’s involvement in budget preparation helps prevent an economic gap.

Coordination Between Fiscal and Monetary Policy

CBI Governor Ali al-Alaq said that the participation of the Central Bank in drafting the state budget is essential to ensure complementarity between fiscal and monetary policies.

He noted that such coordination helps prevent economic disparities and strengthens long-term fiscal and monetary stability.

Role of the Central Bank in Economic Policy

Al-Alaq explained that the Central Bank has detailed indicators and data on cash flow, foreign reserves, and money supply levels. Therefore, it must play a key role in shaping the country’s overall economic policy alongside the fiscal policies implemented by the government and the Ministry of Finance.

He also emphasized that a lack of coordination directly affects prices and inflation levels.

Toward a More Balanced Budget Framework

Al-Alaq stated that coordination between the two institutions would lead to a more realistic and balanced budget capable of responding to economic changes.

These remarks come as the Iraqi government has yet to prepare the 2026 budget, with indications that a budget law for this year is unlikely.

Al-Zaidi Emphasizes Economic Reforms and Stability Initiatives

In his first official address after becoming prime minister, Ali Faleh al-Zaidi underlined that one of the “top priorities” for his government is initiating a comprehensive economic and financial reform program.

He highlighted the program aims at "building a strong, diversified, and sustainable national economy that does not rely on a single resource.”

Al-Zaidi also chaired a meeting of the Financial Stability Council earlier this week with the CBI governor and the minister of finance, during which he underscored the importance of making financial decisions that support stability in a way that positively impacts the government’s development, service, and economic plans.

Al-Mada News: The Sudanese Coalition Got Rid Of The Burden Of Armed Groups With The Defection Of “Al-Fayyad And Al-Asadi,” And The American Role With Al-Zaidi Is Clear

Baghdad - One News    5/21/2026   Al-Mada newspaper reported that nine out of twelve leaders within the coordination framework officially signed the nomination of Prime Minister Ali al-Zidi, and he also received the vote of more than half of the members of parliament, indicating the formation of a political bloc supporting him, estimated to be around 170 seats. 

She added that the coalition got rid of the biggest burden of militants, after the head of the Popular Mobilization Forces, Faleh al-Fayyad, and the leader of Jund al-Imam, Ahmed al-Asadi, (all IRI factions) defected from the bloc of former Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani. 

The source indicated that the remaining armed groups have begun taking serious steps towards disarmament,  most notably Asaib Ahl al-Haq, led by al-Khazali, which was denied ministries in the first phase, hoping to obtain portfolios in the second ministerial formation after the Eid holiday.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Oil Shock, AI Rivalry, and Global Debt Pressures Collide as Financial System Faces New Strains

Rising geopolitical tensions, surging energy prices, and intensifying U.S.-China competition are placing fresh pressure on the global financial system and accelerating the shift toward a more fragmented economic order.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Oil Shock, AI Rivalry, and Global Debt Pressures Collide as Financial System Faces New Strains

Rising geopolitical tensions, surging energy prices, and intensifying U.S.-China competition are placing fresh pressure on the global financial system and accelerating the shift toward a more fragmented economic order.

Overview

Global markets are increasingly being pulled in multiple directions as investors attempt to navigate a rapidly changing financial landscape shaped by energy instability, AI driven market concentration, rising sovereign debt pressures, and geopolitical fragmentation.

Oil prices remain elevated above $100 per barrel amid continued tensions surrounding Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, while the United States and China continue competing for dominance in artificial intelligence, critical supply chains, and global trade influence.

At the same time, G7 finance leaders are warning about deepening structural imbalances in the world economy, particularly linked to debt sustainability, inflation risks, and China's export expansion.

Analysts say the convergence of these pressures could significantly reshape global capital flows, trade relationships, and long term currency dynamics.

Key Developments

1. Oil Prices Stay Elevated as Hormuz Risks Continue

Global energy markets remain under pressure as ongoing instability involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz continues disrupting shipping flows and raising fears of supply shortages.

Brent crude has remained above the psychologically important $100 per barrel level, fueling inflation concerns across major economies and increasing pressure on central banks to keep interest rates elevated.

Financial markets are closely watching the situation because roughly one fifth of global oil and LNG shipments normally pass through Hormuz, making any disruption highly significant for the world economy.

2. AI Boom Continues Driving Market Concentration

Despite geopolitical instability, global stock markets continue being heavily supported by optimism surrounding artificial intelligence investment and technology expansion.

Major technology firms tied to AI infrastructure, semiconductors, and data systems are increasingly dominating global equity performance, creating concerns about excessive market concentration and overvaluation.

The United States is simultaneously expanding financial support for AI exports while tightening restrictions on advanced technologies flowing to China, intensifying the broader technology rivalry between Washington and Beijing.

3. G7 Warns About Structural Global Imbalances

Finance leaders from the G7 are increasingly focused on what they describe as dangerous structural imbalances in the global economy.

Officials have warned about:

  • Rising sovereign debt burdens

  • Persistent inflation pressures

  • Trade distortions

  • Weak global demand balance

  • China’s growing export dominance

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly urged allies to confront the long term effects of China's industrial overcapacity and export driven economic strategy.

Analysts warn these imbalances could eventually trigger broader financial market corrections if left unresolved.

4. Financial Markets Face Growing Fragmentation

The combination of energy insecurity, technological competition, sanctions pressure, and industrial policy is contributing to a more politically driven global economy.

Countries are increasingly restructuring supply chains, building alternative payment systems, diversifying reserve assets, and reducing dependence on traditional Western financial frameworks.

This ongoing fragmentation is gradually reshaping:

  • Global trade settlement systems

  • Currency reserve strategies

  • Commodity pricing mechanisms

  • Investment allocation patterns

  • Technology standards and infrastructure

Why It Matters

The world economy is no longer operating under the same assumptions that dominated globalization over the past several decades.

Instead of efficiency and integration, governments are increasingly prioritizing:

  • Economic security

  • Supply chain resilience

  • Energy independence

  • Technological sovereignty

  • Strategic financial positioning

These shifts are creating a more fragmented and competitive international system where geopolitics now plays a direct role in market behavior and monetary stability.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

The continued rise in oil prices, debt burdens, and geopolitical tensions could place additional long term pressure on fiat currencies worldwide.

Meanwhile, ongoing de-dollarization efforts, reserve diversification into gold and commodities, and competing payment systems suggest that many countries are preparing for a more multipolar financial environment.

Currency holders may increasingly see:

  • Higher market volatility

  • Greater inflation sensitivity

  • Shifting reserve currency dynamics

  • Increased geopolitical influence on global trade

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar 1: Energy and Debt Are Reshaping Financial Stability

Rising oil prices combined with mounting sovereign debt burdens are placing strain on governments, bond markets, and central banks simultaneously.

  • Pillar 2: The Global Economy Is Splitting Into Strategic Blocs

The U.S., China, BRICS nations, and Western allies are increasingly competing across energy, finance, AI, and trade infrastructure — accelerating the transition toward a multipolar world order.

This is not simply market volatility — it is a restructuring of global economic power, trade flows, and financial influence.
