Syria, Iraq Move To Revive Water Committee With Turkiye

2026-07-05 08:15   Shafaq News- Damascus   Syria and Iraq agreed to strengthen cooperation on managing shared water resources, including exchanging hydrological data and working to revive a trilateral technical committee with Turkiye, a Syrian official said on Sunday.

Obada Al-Mubaid, director of International Water at Syria's Ministry of Energy, told Shafaq News that the technical protocol stipulated the continued data exchange on the Euphrates River, particularly during periods of water scarcity or sudden increases in water releases, to ensure a rapid response and appropriate measures. The agreement also calls for reactivating the joint technical committee involving Syria, Iraq, and Turkiye, subject to the three countries' approval, while strengthening coordination with Turkiye as the upstream country to safeguard the legitimate water rights of Syria and Iraq in accordance with international law.

According to Al-Mubaid, the deal provides for resuming joint training programs and exchanges of expertise in hydrological monitoring, dam operations, drought management, and early warning systems to enhance the capacity of technical staff and improve water resource management.

Additionally, the cooperation aims to establish a permanent institutional framework for technical coordination between Syria and Iraq, improve the management of the Euphrates River, unify technical positions on shared water issues, and strengthen the protection of both countries' water rights.

Last week, Iraq's Ministry of Water Resources and Syria's Ministry of Energy signed the agreement following bilateral talks on cooperation in managing shared water resources and exchanging technical data.

Middle East: Growing Objections Within The Framework To The Anti-Corruption Campaign After It Targeted Political And Parliamentary Figures

Baghdad - One News - 7/05/2026   A report by Middle East Online revealed growing objections within the Coordination Framework forces regarding the anti-corruption campaign led by Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi, after it targeted prominent political and parliamentary figures during Operation Dawn.  

The report quoted political sources as saying that a number of leaders within the framework criticized the way the arrests were carried out, considering that resorting to special forces and strict security measures created a state of tension within the ruling coalition.  

The sources also indicated that there were complaints about the raids being carried out without prior coordination with political leaders, as well as the leaking of information and photos of the accused before their cases were resolved judicially.  

According to the report, some parties warned that the continuation of the disputes could threaten the cohesion of the ruling coalition, at a time when Al-Zaydi is continuing his campaign, supported by political and popular positions in favor of holding the corrupt accountable and recovering the looted funds.     https://1news-iq.net/ميدل-إيست-اعتراضات-متصاعدة-داخل-الإطا/

Will Al-Zaidi's Campaign Become An Arab Model? Libyans See The Iraqi Experience As A Way To Move From Complaining About Corruption To Holding Those Involved Accountable And Recovering Stolen Funds

Baghdad - One News - 7/05/2026    The extensive campaign by Iraqi authorities to prosecute officials accused of corruption has reopened the debate in Libya about the possibility of launching a similar campaign, amid growing demands to strengthen accountability and recover public funds.  

The London-based Al-Arab newspaper said that the repercussions of the Iraqi campaign were not limited to the Iraqi interior, but extended to Libya, where it became a focus of discussion among politicians, academics and activists who saw it as a model that could be used in confronting corruption.  

According to the report, the scenes of raids on officials’ homes and the issuance of arrest warrants against influential figures have led many Libyans to question whether their country is capable of implementing similar measures, given the ongoing challenges related to political division and weak oversight institutions.

The report indicated that the comparison between Iraq and Libya is not limited to the extent of corruption, but rather relates to the state’s ability to turn corruption cases into judicial procedures that end with accountability and the recovery of funds, noting that the political division in Libya still limits the effectiveness of the judicial and oversight bodies.  

The report quoted Libyan figures as saying that the problem is no longer in diagnosing the manifestations of corruption, but rather in the absence of the necessary political will to implement effective legal measures, at a time when reform efforts are still linked to consensus between the conflicting institutions.  

He added that the United Nations had previously warned of widespread corruption and mismanagement, particularly in the oil sector, which is the main source of revenue for the Libyan state. Experts believe that the success of any anti-corruption campaign requires the independence of the judiciary, strengthening the work of oversight bodies, and updating legislation regulating the management of public funds.  

The newspaper concluded that the Iraqi experience has raised expectations in Libya regarding the transition from discussing corruption to actual accountability. However, achieving this remains, according to observers, contingent on ending the political division and providing an institutional environment that allows for the independent application of the law.

Iraqi President Outlines Policy On Iran, US, And Armed Factions

2026-07-04 / 14:46  Shafaq News- Baghdad    Baghdad is moving forward with implementing its security agreement with Iran to end the presence of Iranian opposition factions on Iraq’s territory, Iraqi President Nizar Amedi said on Saturday.  

In an interview with Al Hadath TV, Amedi indicated that Baghdad will build ties with Tehran on mutual respect, shared interests, and respect for sovereignty.

Relations with the United States, Europe, and Gulf states are sovereign decisions, he said, noting that Baghdad's ties with Iran or Washington will not come at the expense of one another.

  On restricting weapons to the state, the president pointed out that the government began the first steps toward placing weapons under state control, with some armed factions responding positively. “The process requires caution and wisdom to avoid confrontation and bloodshed while addressing the reasons that led some groups to take up arms.”

“After the coalition's mission ends, Baghdad will evaluate its security needs before deciding on an memoranda of understanding, agreements, or contracts with the United States or other countries to continue developing its military capabilities.”  

Amedi said Iraq rejects any attack on regional countries, especially Gulf states, from Iraqi territory, adding that Iraq's security and Gulf security are linked. He also called for a regional security framework after the end of the war in the region, saying Iraq could play a central role in promoting stability and economic recovery.  

Regarding Turkiye, Amedi said Baghdad is coordinating with Ankara to address the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) issue and the situation in Sinjar. He said the PKK issue “is longstanding and complex, and military action alone cannot resolve it.”

Baghdad and Erbil suffer from several shortcomings, but the constitution remains the basis for managing the relationship. He called on the Kurdistan Region's two main parties to form a government, reactivate parliament, and resolve financial disputes through the federal budget law while guaranteeing the Region's constitutional rights.

The president also said the government has a genuine will to fight corruption, describing it as no less dangerous than terrorism. He said no one is above the law and that all corruption cases will be referred to the judiciary.

رئاسة جمهورية العراق

  The highlights of the interview of His Excellency the President of the Republic, Mr. Nizar Amedi, with Al-Hadath Channel:

The meeting of the last four presidents addressed strategic economic and security files, and it was agreed on collaborative work between presidents, political, parliamentary and community forces to prevent Iraq from sliding into the consequences of wars, security and economic crises in the region.

We raised the slogan "Iraq first" and to save the country first, we are all on the same boat, God forbid, if it sinks, everyone will drown.

The corruption file has a real will from the government and supported by all presidents, parliament and political powers, corruption is no less dangerous than terrorism.

Fighting corruption is an irreversible decision, no one is above the law, no red lines in this file, and everyone will be prosecuted.

The confiscation of weapons by the state is one of the most important files of the government, and the recent war has shown the fragility of the Iraqi security situation.

There is a real decision and will to confine weapons by the state in an Iraqi, patriotic, wise way and without bloodshed.

The first steps in the gun confinement file have begun, and there are answers from some factions, seeking to remove the reasons that led to carry arms and raise the slogan of resistance.

With the end of the war in the region, there is an opportunity to create a regional security framework that includes the countries of the region, and Iraq has a key role in it, leading to a regional economic recovery.

The constitution and the law are the rulers in the arms file, and the state will deal with any violation through judiciary and legal means.

Processing the profile of species and confinement of weapons requires caution and wisdom to avoid collisions and bloodshed.

Iraq refuses to target any regional state, especially siblings in the Arab Gulf countries, starting from Iraqi territories, Iraq's security and Gulf security are one.

The arms ban aims to strengthen Iraq's sovereignty and prevent the targeting of neighboring countries from Iraqi lands.

We are working on other security files with Turkey and Iran, including ending the Kurdistan Labor Party file and the Sinjar case.

We continue to implement the security agreement with Iran and to finish the file of Iranian opposition factions located in Iraq.

The current government's approach differs from previous governments since 2003, and we are working to address the accumulated files and make bold decisions in economy, security and sovereignty.

Iraq's relations with Iran are historical, cultural, religious, national and economic, and will be built on the basis of mutual respect, common interests and respect for sovereignty.

Iraq's relations with the United States, Europe and the Gulf countries are an Iraqi thing, and relations with Iran or the United States will not be at the expense of each other.

We seek to strengthen our relationship with the United States and make it a strategic partner in the future to build a strong economy in the region.

The assessment of the need for continuation of international support or to abandon it will be based on the reports and needs of the Iraqi armed forces.

After the mission of the international alliance, Iraq will assess its security situation, and on its basis it will decide to issue memorandums of understanding, agreements, contracts with the United States or others to complete the construction of its military capacities.

We proceed to implement the security agreement with Iran regarding the Iranian opposition in Iraq and to end any threat to the Iranian territories starting from Iraq.

The profile of the Kurdistan Labor Party is tangled and old, the military solution does not end it, Turkey has adopted a peace project with the party, and steps are underway to disarm its elements.

There is high coordination with Turkey to finish the Kurdistan Labor Party file and the Sinjar case, and the matter needs wisdom and patience.

Relations with Syria are evolving and moving from the security file to the diplomatic file, as relations with Damascus continue to improve.

Iraq is seeking to build the best strategic relations with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the economic, political and religious spheres, given the importance of Saudi Arabia as a neighboring and gulf state to Iraq.

The relationship between Baghdad and Erbil has some faults, and the constitution is the protector of this relationship, whereas the problem in the region lies in not forming a new government in the Kurdistan Region and the inactivation of the parliament.

We call on the two major parties in the region for agreement, genuine partnership, the formation of a fully competent government and activate the parliament.

The resolution of the financial disputes between Baghdad and Erbil goes through the budget law and ensuring the constitutional rights of the region.

There is no law on oil and gas despite Iraq's approval on these two suppliers, and there is a need for legislation to solve many problems.

There are more than fifty constitutional articles that have not been regulated by laws so far, in addition to the existence of hundreds of old resolutions, including the decisions of the dissolved Revolutionary Leadership Council, that are not in line with the current reality.

The President of the Republic has the right to present and amend draft laws, and the Presidency of the Republic to cooperate with other authorities to complete the legislation during the current period.

RISE OF PETRO YUAN?- China Unveils Bold New Yuan Strategy

RISE OF PETRO YUAN?- China Unveils Bold New Yuan Strategy

Lena Petrova:  7-4-2026

The global financial landscape is currently undergoing a significant period of transition. As international trade patterns shift, discussions regarding the role of the U.S. dollar and the rise of alternative financial frameworks have moved to the forefront of geopolitical analysis.

In a recent, insightful conversation with Lena Petrova, political and economic analyst Einar Tangen dissected China’s evolving strategy, providing a nuanced perspective that moves beyond the typical “East vs. West” narrative often found in main stream media.

At the heart of this discussion is the internationalization of the yuan. Rather than seeking an aggressive, overnight overthrow of the U.S. dollar, Tangen argues that China is architecting a parallel financial system.

This strategic approach is designed primarily to facilitate trade with the Global South, offering nations a viable, secondary option for settlements.

By utilizing sophisticated mechanisms—such as the FIMA repo facility, offshore forex trading pilots, and a phased development plan centered in Shanghai—Beijing aims to lower transaction costs and mitigate risks. Crucially, these steps allow for increased currency utility without exposing the Chinese economy to the destabilizing effects of volatile, short-term “hot money” flows.

This economic pivot does not exist in a vacuum; it is deeply intertwined with changing geopolitical realities. The conversation highlights how factors such as trade sanctions, supply chain realignments, and the shifting priorities of nations in Africa, the Gulf, and beyond have accelerated the need for diversified financial infrastructure.

China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is framed here as a development-focused model, emphasizing shared growth and infrastructure investment. By prioritizing economic interdependence over zero-sum power dynamics, China is positioning itself as a partner that respects national sovereignty and cultural diversity, appealing to emerging markets that are seeking alternatives to traditional hegemony.

The dialogue also addresses the vulnerabilities currently inherent in the U.S.-led financial system. From the perspective presented in the video, mounting national debt and the perceived “weaponization” of international banking networks have begun to erode global confidence.

As trust in the dollar-centric model fluctuates, China is leveraging digital payment technologies, direct currency swaps, and local currency settlements to empower small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across the globe. This bottom-up approach aims to make international trade more inclusive and resilient for developing nations that often find themselves on the periphery of the existing system.

Ultimately, the discussion serves as a reminder of the human element behind macroeconomic trends. Whether analyzing currency swaps or supply chain logistics, the core objective remains the pursuit of stability and sustainable prosperity.

By advocating for a multipolar global order—one rooted in diplomacy, trust, and mutual respect—the conversation underscores that the shifts in finance are, at their core, a testament to the world’s desire for a more balanced and cooperative geopolitical future.

Basra Oil Company orders full production at major oil fields

2026-07-04 06:49    Shafaq News- Basra   Basra Oil Company has instructed operators at three of Iraq's largest oil fields to restore production and crude exports to full available capacity.

According to an official document, the directive, signed by Operations Director Imad Hassan Lafta, covers the North Rumaila, West Qurna 1, and Artawi oil fields, as well as the Tuba field, which is operated under the South Basra Integrated Division.

Production and pumping operations to the company's storage facilities resumed at normal capacity from 8:00 p.m. on Friday, in line with operational requirements and production plans.

The move comes as optimism grows over improving stability in energy supply chains through the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf region, amid diplomatic efforts aimed at easing regional tensions and safeguarding international shipping routes.

June 2026 OPEC Output Leaped 3M+ Bpd

2026-07-04 07:53    Shafaq News- Vienna/ Baghdad   OPEC oil production rose to 19.34 million barrels per day (bpd) in June, up 3.3 million bpd from the previous month, as Gulf producers restored supplies after disruptions from the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a Reuters survey found on Saturday.

Kuwait and Iran recorded the largest production gains during the month, while Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Nigeria, and Libya also increased crude supplies. The rebound lifted OPEC's output from its lowest monthly level since at least 2000. Even so, production remained well below the group's target level of more than 25 million bpd.

Earlier this week, S&P Global Commodity Insights reported that around 8.3 million barrels of Iraqi crude remain stranded in the strategic maritime gateway, awaiting shipment.

Iraq, OPEC's second-largest producer, exports about 95% of its crude through southern terminals, leaving it particularly vulnerable to disruptions in Gulf shipping. Eco Iraq, an economic affairs observatory, estimated that the closure of Hormuz, which carries around 20% of global oil supplies, had cost the country about 350 million barrels in lost exports by June 20, equivalent to roughly $37.7 billion in revenue.

The Strait of Hormuz has remained largely closed since Feb. 28 after Iran restricted maritime traffic in response to the US-Israeli war. Washington and Tehran later agreed to resume shipping under a memorandum signed in Switzerland on June 17.

The Barbados Prosperity, a giant crude carrier, will load 2 million barrels of Iraqi oil. Two additional tankers are also expected to reach Iraqi waters in the coming hours after transiting the Strait of Hormuz, en route to Basra’s export terminals.

“Shipping and loading operations are continuing without disruption, in line with planned schedules,” the source noted.

Iran Exports $214.7M In Goods To Iraq Through Mehran

2026-07-04 12:38    Shafaq News- Tehran   Iran exported 609,000 metric tons of goods worth $214.7 million to Iraq through the Mehran border crossing during the first quarter of the current Iranian year, which began on March 21, up 17% from a year earlier.

Cited by Iranian Mehr news agency on Saturday, AIlam Customs Director Sohrab Kamari said exports to Iraq included agricultural products, construction materials such as tiles, ceramics, glass, reinforcing steel, and building stone, as well as cement clinker, iron ore, PVC pipes, and live fish, attributing the increase of demand for construction materials and agricultural products.

Kamari also pointed to a sharp increase in international transit activity through the Mehran crossing, with 31,967 metric tons of transit goods passing through the border point, up 54% year-on-year. The number of transit trucks rose by 476% to 5,991, compared with the corresponding period last year.

Wall Street Journal: Cryptocurrencies Are A Weapon For Tehran And Moscow To Bypass Sanctions

Money and business    Economy News - Follow-up   Iran, Russia, North Korea and other countries targeted by Western sanctions have doubled their use of virtual currencies to evade U.S. pressure.

According to a newspaper report based on data from crypto flow tracking companies, the three countries and other countries targeted by sanctions dealt with about $100 billion worth of cryptocurrencies in 2025 alone.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the aforementioned increase is equivalent to eight times the volume of transactions witnessed in 2024, noting that Iran, Russia, North Korea and other countries targeted by sanctions have become more sophisticated in how they deal with the cryptocurrency market and the creation of their own digital tokens and cryptocurrency trading platforms to circumvent sanctions.

Western officials and crypto analysis companies said Iran and Russia used cryptocurrencies to buy drones and spare parts for weapons.

Russia has also used these currencies to pay the salaries of seafarers who smuggle its sanctioned crude oil around the world. North Korea used cryptocurrencies to buy fuel and military equipment, according to a report published by the Wall Street Journal titled: “How do rogue countries use cryptocurrencies to evade sanctions?”

The use of cryptocurrencies allows these countries to bypass traditional banks, which play a pivotal role in monitoring sanctions imposed on them by the United States and other Western parties.

Denial and criticism

Western officials accuse Pyongyang of stealing cryptocurrencies through “cybercrimes,” accusations Pyongyang called “absurd slanders” and considered the allegations an extension of Washington’s hostile policy against it.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia considered international sanctions illegal under international law, noting that Moscow had “published and developed alternative mechanisms that allow the economy to function normally.”

The Wall Street Journal said Tehran had not responded to a request for comment.

American action and sanctions

According to the newspaper’s report, Western authorities are struggling to keep up with the situation as digital currencies become increasingly popular in evading sanctions. Although the United States has temporarily suspended sanctions on Iranian oil as it negotiates a possible peace deal with Tehran, it still considers sanctions a key tool to pressure adversaries around the world.

Washington is keeping the option of reimposing sanctions on Iranian oil if the two sides do not reach a peace deal that would end their conflict.

In June, Washington imposed sanctions on four Iranian cryptocurrency trading platforms, including Nobitex, the country’s largest trading platform.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Pissant said the United States had seized a billion dollars in Iranian cryptocurrencies. Nubitex and another sanctioned platform, BitBen, denied facilitating any illegal activities and said their customers were private, while the other two platforms did not respond to requests for comment.

In the UK, authorities in May blacklisted one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges on suspicion of supporting the Russian government. The platform, HTX, said it would work with authorities to address any concerns.

Resolute control of this market is almost impossible, as a large part of the sector is unregulated and transactions are carried out without revealing the identity of the owners, making it complicated to track

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Coinbase CEO Says Crypto, AI, and Constitutional Reform Could Help Address America’s Growing Debt Crisis

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has sparked debate by arguing that America’s rising national debt requires structural reform beyond traditional fiscal policy. He suggested that constitutional changes, technological innovation through AI and robotics, and greater adoption of Bitcoin and blockchain technology could all play a role in strengthening the nation's long-term financial future.

Overview

• Brian Armstrong warned that the U.S. national debt has reached levels that threaten long-term fiscal stability.

• He proposed constitutional spending reforms while highlighting Bitcoin and emerging technologies as potential long-term solutions.

• The comments reflect growing discussions about how digital assets and technological innovation could influence future economic policy.

Key Developments

1. Armstrong Calls for Constitutional Fiscal Reform

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong argued that the U.S. Constitution lacks sufficient safeguards to prevent excessive government spending. He suggested future reforms could include limits on federal spending growth or other constitutional mechanisms designed to improve long-term fiscal discipline.

2. National Debt Continues to Rise

Armstrong pointed to the approximately $39 trillion U.S. national debt, noting that interest costs continue to consume a growing share of the federal budget. His comments reflect broader concerns among economists and policymakers about the long-term sustainability of federal borrowing.

3. Bitcoin Presented as a Long-Term Financial Alternative

Armstrong reiterated one of Bitcoin's core investment themes: its fixed supply makes it resistant to inflation caused by expanding government debt and currency creation. He suggested that if fiscal conditions continue to deteriorate, Bitcoin could become an increasingly attractive reserve asset alongside traditional financial instruments.

4. AI and Robotics Could Boost Economic Growth

Beyond cryptocurrency, Armstrong emphasized artificial intelligence and robotics as technologies capable of significantly increasing productivity and economic output. Faster GDP growth, he argued, could improve the nation's debt-to-GDP ratio without relying solely on spending cuts.

5. Alternative Governance Models Discussed

Armstrong also floated the idea of special economic zones or future constitutional amendments that could test new fiscal governance models before broader implementation. While largely conceptual, the proposal reflects growing discussions about modernizing economic policy for the digital age.

Why It Matters

America's growing debt burden remains one of the most significant long-term economic challenges facing financial markets. As debt levels rise, discussions increasingly include digital assets, artificial intelligence, and technological innovation as potential tools to support future economic growth and financial stability.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Many currency investors closely monitor U.S. fiscal policy because the strength of the U.S. dollar influences global reserve currencies, exchange rates, and international capital flows. Continued discussion around Bitcoin, stablecoins, and blockchain-based financial infrastructure reinforces the growing intersection between traditional finance and digital assets.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 – Debt

Rising U.S. debt continues to fuel discussions about fiscal sustainability, monetary policy, and potential structural reforms that could reshape the global financial system over the coming decades.

• Pillar 4 – Technology

The combination of blockchain technology, artificial intelligence, and digital assets is increasingly being viewed as part of the next generation of financial infrastructure capable of improving productivity, payments, and capital markets.

Future Outlook

While Armstrong's proposals remain personal policy recommendations rather than government initiatives, they reflect a growing conversation about how emerging technologies could help address long-term fiscal challenges. Policymakers, financial institutions, and investors are likely to continue debating the roles of Bitcoin, artificial intelligence, and constitutional reform as public debt continues to expand.

Whether these ideas gain broader political support remains uncertain, but the discussion highlights how digital finance is becoming increasingly intertwined with national economic strategy.

This is not just about cryptocurrency—it reflects a broader debate over how governments may use technology, fiscal reform, and digital financial infrastructure to strengthen long-term economic stability in an era of rising global debt.

🌱 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 Late Saturday Evening 7-4-26

Al-Shabaki: Washington Is Practicing Political Blackmail Against Iraq

The Information Agency/Baghdad...  MP Qusay al-Shabaki confirmed on Saturday that the US administration under President Donald Trump is exerting pressure on Iraq to influence some of the country's sovereign decisions.

Al-Shabaki told the Information Agency that “American interference in the country’s internal affairs is increasing day by day, as it exerts significant pressure on some political forces that prioritize their personal interests over the country’s interests in order to implement Washington’s agendas.” He stressed the need to "prevent such interference in national decision-making, as it does not serve the public interest."

He added that "this blackmail practiced by Washington represents clear political pressure aimed at obstructing Iraq's foreign relations with its regional and international environment, and an attempt to impose security and economic dictates that serve American interests at the expense of supreme national interests."

Earlier, Mukhtar Mahmoud, head of the Turkmen Framework Bloc, affirmed that the United States has committed the most heinous wars in the region, noting that it has violated Iraqi national autonomy and targeted security forces and the Popular Mobilization Forces in several provinces. End/25

Alhurra: Al-Zaydi Continues To Pursue Corruption Networks And Personally Leads The Campaign To Recover Looted Funds

Baghdad - One News - 7/04/2026   The US-based Al-Hurra News website reported that Iraqi authorities are continuing to pursue corruption networks, noting that the value of money, real estate, gold, and cars that have been seized or impounded so far amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars.  

The website added that the campaign, which began at the start of last week, included the arrest of dozens of government officials, current and former members of parliament, as well as advisors who worked in previous Iraqi governments.  

He explained that the investigations focus on tracking the paths of transferring public funds into private assets, including real estate, vehicles and valuable possessions, as part of the pursuit of funds that were looted during the past years….  

The website indicated that the investigations are likely to expand in the coming days, with expectations of an increase in the value of the seized items and the number of detainees, and the emergence of confessions that may lead to new names.

Iraq Recovers $25 Million in Stolen Wealth and Targets $20 Billion in Global Asset Offensive

Stacks of seized Iraqi dinars and US dollars are displayed during a press conference by the Iraqi Federal Commission of Integrity (Nazaha) in Baghdad. The commission announced the recovery of the vast sums of cash, which authorities say had been prepared for money laundering.

The Iraqi Ministry of Justice announced on Saturday the recovery of more than $25 million in misappropriated state funds over a two-year period, alongside the launch of international legal proceedings across five nations to reclaim stolen properties and frozen bank accounts totaling more than $20 billion.

Ministry spokesperson Ahmed Al-Laibi confirmed that the state has secured several landmark victories in international courts, successfully overturning asset freezes and dismissing foreign claims through coordinated efforts with the Federal Integrity Commission under global anti-corruption treaties.

Resolution of High-Profile International Lawsuits

The ministry detailed several prominent international legal disputes that have been resolved in favor of the Iraqi state, neutralizing long-standing financial liabilities inherited from previous administrations.

Key judicial resolutions include:

• The United States: A U.S. federal court dismissed a lawsuit brought by the Global Trade Creditors foundation, which sought to enforce a prior judgment against Iraq. The court ruled in Baghdad's favor on the grounds of sovereign immunity, a decision subsequently upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals.

• Jordan: Legal actions successfully overturned all asset freezes previously placed on Iraqi holdings in Jordanian banks. The freezes originated from a 2010 lawsuit demanding $53 million over historical barter contracts connected to the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

• Lebanon: Iraqi authorities secured the execution of a domestic judicial formulation in Lebanese courts, enabling the recovery of more than $20.48 billion belonging to the Trade Bank of Iraq.

  Targeted Asset Recovery Operations

In addition to large-scale corporate litigation, the Ministry of Justice has successfully repatriated millions of dollars from accounts in regional capital cities and targeted the assets of convicted fugitives.

During the 2025 and 2026 fiscal years, the ministry successfully recovered $3 million in embezzled funds originally belonging to the Municipality of Baghdad (Amanat Baghdad). The capital had been frozen within the Lebanese banking system and has now been transferred to the official account of the Iraqi Embassy in Beirut.

Domestically, judicial authorities finalized rulings to recover more than 332 million dinars from the former director of the Securities Commission. Furthermore, executive procedures are currently underway in Jordan to seize $1.706 billion from a convicted Iraqi fugitive following a favorable ruling in Jordanian courts.

Complexities and Systemic Time Frames

Al-Laibi emphasized that reclaiming state wealth from foreign jurisdictions remains an intricate, long-term operational challenge. Due to the rigorous standards of providing legal proof and the structural differences between the Iraqi judiciary and foreign legal systems, individual asset recovery cases require between 2 to 7 years to achieve full resolution.

The Ministry of Justice reaffirmed that international legal enforcement actions will continue systematically until all identified overseas assets are returned to state control. https://channel8.com/english/news/60887

Ariel: Trump Doesn’t Need to Sign the Clarity Act for XRP Momentum

Ariel: Trump Doesn’t Need to Sign the Clarity Act for XRP Momentum

While We Are On The Subject:

I want To Be Clear On Certain Things

Trump doesn’t need to personally sign this specific bill for XRP momentum.

The administration has already delivered via executive actions, appointments, GENIUS Act (stablecoins), Bitcoin reserve/stockpile moves, and lighter SEC/CFTC posture under new leadership.

I’m basically saying that these in particular have driven adoption, ETF inflows, and price action without waiting on full legislation. XRP has climbed on regulatory relief signals and broader crypto sentiment alone.

That said, the bill’s passage would supercharge it by removing lingering uncertainty and accelerating capital inflows. As of now (July 2026), it’s cleared House + Senate Banking but stalls on full Senate 60-vote threshold, reconciliation, and timing (odds ~39-50% for 2026 enactment).

But to the broader point regarding the overall bill The CLARITY Act (Digital Asset Market Clarity Act) would deliver the strongest legislative tailwind yet by creating a formal market structure.

Splitting oversight between CFTC (for commodities like Bitcoin, and likely XRP post-decentralization rulings) and SEC (for securities). So people who don’t say we don’t need the Clarity Act are halfway right. But the specifics are needed in that gray area.

CryptoEmpress: THE CLARITY ACT IS CLOSER THAN EVER TO BECOMING LAW

⚖️ Here’s where things stand…

✅ House passed the CLARITY Act

✅ Senate Banking Committee cleared it 15-9

⏳ Senate floor vote still needs 60 votes

⏳ House and Senate must align the final text

 ⏳ President signs it into law

Put simply → The bill is closer than it has ever been. Why does this matter? Clear #Bitcoin and crypto rules could unlock the next wave of U.S. adoption . THE FINAL STRETCH FOR BITCOIN AND CRYPTO CLARITY IS HERE

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 7-2-26

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 7-2-26 

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps   (INTEL ONLY)

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. It's Thursday, July 2. Thanks for tuning in to the big call tonight. We're in the month of July, two days away from their 250th anniversary of our, of our freedom, our independence, so-called independence, and yeah, it's a good place to be right now, so be happy if you're part of the big call and big big call universe, and we'll have a good call tonight,

All right, good stuff. Thank you, Bob. I appreciate that very much. 

Now let's segue into our intel segment, and Bob had a listener who sent him an email, so we'll start with that. It's a question about in this particular case, brother and sister, brother passed away about two years ago, and the sister had Zim, and still has Zim of her own, and the brother had Zim, but is no longer with us. 

So, the question was, what should she do, and the answer is she should acquire that zim. I'm assuming she knows where it is, and that she can go ahead and take it, add it to hers, and exchange it, or rather redeem it, since it is a bearer bond. Redeem it, it's payable to the bearer of, she would be the bearer of, and just add that Zim to her stack of Zim, and take that in to the redemption center. 

They don't know how much we have. They might have some idea, but they just know whether or not we have Zim or other currencies in general, not in every case, but in general. So, take that in with you when you go to do your exchange. 
Simple as that. 

Let's see, as far as what we're getting, of course. Today, tonight is the second of July. 
Yes, we were under the understanding that we would have this by or before the 4th of July, and it looks like it's going to be close, but the latest information we're getting is telling us that Tier 4b that's us, the Internet Group, should be looking for our notifications between the 4th , which is Saturday, and the 8th , which should be but Wednesday, so the 4th  is Saturday, 5th  Sunday, 6th  is Monday, Tuesday, 7th and 8th  is Wednesday, so between Saturday and Wednesday we are not only to be notified by SMS, Samsung Messaging Services, my SMS. So I don't know if that's what it stands for, but it does for me.

 In other words, you'll be notified by text message and or emails, okay, about the 800 number, and how to call and set your appointments, that should be in a text message or in an email, or both. You might even get both.

All right, so that is happening, but the point is the timeline between the fifth and the eighth is not only to receive notifications by text or email, but also to have started exchanging within that period of time, that's exchanging currencies and redeeming Zim, and will the Zim holders still get a head start on non-Zim holders, other currency holders? 

That's what we've heard from very, very high up, and we'll see if that holds up, and we'll see what that means to us, who are zim holders, all right. That's the first thing. 

So, between, I know it's a big window, but between the fifth and the eighth, excuse me, between the fourth, which is Independence Day, Fourth of July, between the fourth and the eighth, we should be notified. and start exchanges and redemptions. 

Now they've gone further on to say that the public at large would get notified either the eighth or the ninth of July, so that would give us a head start of maybe a few days ahead of the public being notified, and I believe they'd be notified the same way, but we know that our best rates are at the redemption center, we know the contract rate on Denar is available only at the redemption centers. We know that the Zim is only available to be redeemed at redemption centers, so we want to make sure that, and look,

it could be that the so-called public gets a clue and uses the 800 number to set appointments. If they do, they'll get the best rates, and they'll get sort of a whole different approach to everything by going and using the redemption centers, as opposed to any bank. 

The banks are going to be limited on what they can actually provide. 
They're going to be limited, and you know, we need the quantum account. We need, you know, the Q phone will come out at the end of your visit. 

You know, there's quite a bit that we're going to do within 30 to 40 minutes for our appointment, and of course they are keying on Zoom holders, because they know the value of the denominations of the Zoom, so that'll all come in and be very welcomed. It should be very welcoming to us that when we come in, because they're calling Zim holders sovereigns, they're calling us sovereigns, so good for us, and we should have really good service, and they will pay a very decent rate of interest on the bank accounts that we have,

and we're not going to put all of the money from the transactions and the Zim into our accounts on day one, but we will move a certain amount in on the first day to cover your projects and your other personal things that you want done for the first three months,

let's say the first 90 days, the first three months after that period of time, they have tracked some of your spending habits, in the sense that they know that you're not feeding the deep state with funds, you're not trying to help people that are trying to destroy us, for example, and so if you do that, that money will be clawed back.  That'll be clawed back.

Anything that we do with our projects, as Rebuild America, as big call universe that has projects, you know, I'm sure that the funds will go to the right people for the right purposes, and we will not have an interference with it. So be aware that what you're doing initially is going to be monitored. Everything, every financial transaction is seen and recorded by the Quantum Financial system in conjunction with the Starlink satellite system, all of that. There's no funny business, no shenanigans, nothing. You know, there won't be anything that won't be seen. 

So the idea of numbered accounts in the Bahamas, and you know, in the Caribbean, forget it, you know, it's history. Those days are over, not happening. There's no reason for it, you know. The Zim, for example, has such a high value. 

All of our currencies that are exchanged, all of that will show up as USN our new US dollar digitally in our quantum financial accounts, and those quantum accounts that we have are backed by the United States Treasury, and it's backed by assets, every country's currency is backed by gold or other precious metals, by oil, by natural gas, by jewels, diamonds, other precious jewels, for us a lot of its intellectual property, hopefully that will not be stolen by China, because they've already stolen a lot from us already, but all of that will be something that backs our dollar.

 Those are what's called assets that are backing, so we have an asset-backed new dollar, and we're is primarily gold backed, but other assets are also included. So, out there's no need for FDIC insurance, no need that stuff is out the door, that's history, and we're not going to need it anyway.

Our backing is the is the actual United States Treasury itself, that's essentially where the digital version of our quantum account resides, resides in the quantum computer, but it's essentially a digital number that we can pull out and move into our bank accounts, up to three accounts would be tied to your quantum account card, initially Wells Fargo, and then after a little period of time, when you figure out other banks that you may want to use, you could put in a couple of other tier one banks, I don't think I would connect it to a credit union. I doubt it. They're too small potatoes for what we're talking about. 

Okay, primarily tier one, maybe some tier two banks, but you know, I hope Wells does the job I think they'll do with us, and if they're good to work with, there might not be a need to diversify too much. 

I already have another tier one bank, and I might add one more, but have my three ready to go tied to the quantum account, but let's see how they treat us. Let's see how Wells Fargo's formerly known as wealth managers, now called premier bankers, will be to work with if we want to, if we need them. 

I think that's going to be the big question, whether or not you're going to use them, and for what reasons, and for what purposes are you going to set up a relationship with a premier banker or a private office that you may create yourself.   So, there's quite a bit to look into. 

I would say make some of those decisions, some of those decisions you can make up front, and some of those decisions you can make after the exchange process. When you get to meet some of these people and see how they are, and see if you can resonate with them, see if they can relate to you or not. 

You know, there's quite a bit to get done in 30 to 40 minutes, like I say, that's where they want us to be within that time frame. If you've got sheet bonds, meaning sheets of bonds, or a box of sheet bonds, they can handle up to two or three boxes of bonds, and we're not talking about Zim, unless they're sheets of Zim. 

Most of us don't have sheets, but if you have that, let them know in your setting up of your appointment when you speak to a live person. 

If you have bonds or boxes of bonds, they can redeem those bonds for you at the redemption center, but most likely they'll need more time than the standard single appointment, so let them know, hey, I've got 10 or 20 of these, whatever bonds they are, German bonds, Chinese, you know, red dragon, black dragon bonds, whatever they are, yellow dragon, whatever you have, you have to provide the provenance of those bonds, provide the provenance, so that they, they go back to you, and you can prove, prove that they're yours, because some of the stuff is multi-generational, or it happened a generation or two ago, and it's been handed down from generation to generation, and now you may have it, and that's how you would do it.

You just let them know that when you're setting up your appointment that you have some sheet bonds, and if that applies, ask for to create extra time for doing those, in addition to your Zim, in addition to your currency that you're exchanging. 

There, the rates are happening behind the screens. I don't know if we had rates on screens today. We did two days ago, on Tuesday, and so we know that things are happening, a lot of things behind the scenes.

We know that there's a lot of hiccup on multiple aisles throughout the country, and I know that they are gaining on that lot of movement out there, and that is probably affecting our start a little bit. 

It may not be that I would say at least half of those have to be done before we start, but I know based on where we are now that things are moving in the right direction for us, so will an announcement, and we'll notice, yes, announcements will come out somehow between the fourth and the fifth of July. We should be getting some good announcements from President Trump, maybe others.

We know that President Trump is supposed to be in DC, and we're supposed to have on the fourth of July him speaking at 9:45pm on Eastern time, and then fireworks to take off at 10:30pm sounds a little late Eastern time, but 1030 Eastern, plus or minus, so he'll probably speak for 40-45, minutes until they transition to fireworks.

Now I was there 50 years ago for the Bicentennial celebration, and so was Sue. I was on the Virginia side of the Potomac, and Sue was on the other side of the Potomac. That's probably as close as we've ever been, a river separating us, but it's.. it's amazing. 50 years later, here we go. This is our. what's it called? 

What's a 250 year celebration? 

So that's big, and I think we're going to have an incredible fireworks display, and I'm going to probably be catching it on TV, because I'm not going to be in DC, but I would say everybody enjoyed this holiday weekend, which the observed holiday is tomorrow, federal holiday, I think. Some, or maybe most banks are open tomorrow. 

Some I know Bank of America is supposed to be. I don't know if the rest of them are, and a lot of them are going to close on the fourth, which is Saturday. However, redemption centers do not necessarily have to be closed, even on Sunday. 

So we may find ourselves getting notified over the weekend, you know, Saturday, Sunday, and get started Monday or Tuesday. Who knows? It looks like we're supposed to get exchanges started by or before Wednesday, so let's see how that goes. And then the public is supposed to go right behind us, I guess. They figured public would find out sooner or later, things would leak out and maybe get antsy anyway. 

So I'm going to say we're off to the races. Everybody have a wonderful Fourth of July freedom celebration, and hopefully we get the financial freedom that we're looking for somehow over the weekend, and we get our notifications, and we consider appointments, and be off, off, and running. 

So I will say we'll have a call Tuesday. Tuesday night, we'll see where we are by then. Tuesday is the seventh of July, so hopefully we will have received numbers and started exchanging, and we can have a celebration call. We'll see. 

Thank you, big call universe all over the world. Yes, even Norway, wherever Dash is living, and the rest of the people that are listening to us out of Norway and Sweden, and maybe Finland, and other countries like that in Scandinavia, so, and of course everywhere else all over the country. 
So, you guys have a wonderful holiday. We're going to be thankful, and we're going to close out the call now. ray the call out, and then we'll say good night. 
Good night, everybody. everybody, have a great Fourth of July, God bless you
