March 10, 2026 Mnt Goat News Brief
Guten Tag everyone:
WOW this RV saga continues with the election cycle. The deadlock over the Maliki candidate for prime minister is finally over. Now we need the president announced by Kurdistan, then ratified by Parliament. Next is the same for the prime minister.
GIVE A GIFT TO MNT GOAT
I decided to allow everyone to give a Free-will GIFT to Mnt Goat on PayPal if you so desire. Here is the link below. Please show your appreciation for all the hard work I do.
I recommend $15-$20 dollars a month or whatever you can afford. Do you realize I write up to eight (8) Newsletters every month. This is like a second job to me. The only way I know that people are reading and appreciating all the FACTUAL news I bring is through their appreciation. If I do not receive equal appreciation for all the hard work I do, I will simply end the Newsletter and save myself endless hours at the computer. You do want to get paid for your job, don’t you? What makes my job any different? Tell me….. I am tired of this RV saga just as you are. We are now down to addressing the Iranian militia in Iraq. This is a very good thing and had to happen sooner or later. The RV will not happen as long as Iraq is a proxy state of Iran.
Let’s all try to chip in!

STATUS OF THE RV
Spring is coming and I can feel it in the mountains as the air is warmer and the sounds of nature are all around us. The waters are running heavy from the mountains now as the snow melts. It is a sound I long to hear. It is a wonderful time of renewal as I can now begin my hikes in the mountains again. The trails will soon be all cleared. This is a time of reflection for me. What a journey! What will next year at this same season bring us? Will we still be sitting here still hoping and waiting for the reinstatement?
My RV Status today is VERY LONG and so I encourage you to settle down, grab a cup of hot coffee or tea and snuggle with your favorite comfortable chair. Read this over a couple times to really let it sink in. This is so important today to see what is holding up the reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar and what comes next.
So first, I want to say that the recent articles in the news today back up 1000% what I have been saying all along. Yes, we are getting verification of many aspects and details of what is really going on in Iraq and what to expect. There is always one or maybe even a few articles that stand out more than others that we really need to pick apart and analyze to give us a clearer picture. But there are many more in today’s news and so let’s get to it and do it!!!
😊 😊 Do you remember the importance of the court’s ruling about the election from the Supreme Judiciary? I presented this article to you in my previous 3/3 Newsletter. Oh… this ruling is so important! Please remember it well! Let’s take a look at the very recent article titled “IRAQ WITHOUT A GOVERNMENT”: A LEGAL PROPOSAL THAT COULD BREAK THE POLITICAL DEADLOCK”. This article makes it VERY clear what is going to happen with this election to break the deadlock and why al-Sudani is going to be the nominee or should I say is now the nominee over al-Maliki. Yes, there is still a few objections to al-Sudani and some members of the Coordination Framework still believe they will get to pick another nominee over Maliki and not use al-Sudani. But they are wrong and this will not happen.
“Iraq has been experiencing a political deadlock for nearly four months since the parliamentary elections, as the sharp division within the “coordination framework” over the identity of the next prime minister, and the dispute over the definition of the “largest bloc,” have frozen constitutional processes, amid anticipation of what will result from last-minute understandings between the forces holding the reins of the initiative.”
This last paragraph literally means that in the last days that interpretations of the Iraqi constitution on how to define the largest block have been finally worked out by the courts and the recent decision is going to end the deadlock for this election and prevent it in future elections. Let’s see what the article says so we can quote it for verification. Afterall this is not Mnt Goat saying this or bank memos, or some three letter agency rumors. This is FACTUAL coming from Iraqi news. Yes, real factual news! 😊
So first we see the war in Iran putting pressure on the courts of Iraq to decide. I quote from the article – “While Iraqis were waiting for the emergence of an executive authority that would translate the results of the November 11, 2025 elections, the ongoing war between Iran on one side, and the United States and Israel on the other, which entered its sixth day, imposed new realities, amid direct American pressure led by Donald Trump on Iraqi political forces to exclude specific figures from the premiership.”
Next, we read the effect the courts had on the decision for al-Sudani. I quote – “In the midst of this crisis, the vision of the head of the Iraqi Supreme Judicial Council, Judge Faiq Zaidan, emerged as a decisive legal step aimed at restoring credibility to the ballot boxes by correcting what he described as the “sin of misinterpretation” of Article 76 of the Constitution.”
Zidan’s vision is based on the principle of “first come, first served,” by adopting the winning list in the vote as the “largest bloc,” and granting it the exclusive right to nominate the prime minister, instead of the current interpretation that allows for the merging of blocs within parliament after the elections, which ends the era of subsequent alliances that emptied the ballot boxes of their content and opened the door to a long political deadlock.”
Yes, the courts through it interpretation of Article 76 are going to change how elections are run. They going to go to popular votes by the people that decide who is going to be prime minister and not this monkey business that these charlatans have been getting away with for the last elections, where the peoples decision has been overturned by the politicians. Remember even when the Sadarist Movement won the election he was forced to concede his votes to the Coordination Framework to get the government formed in the timeframe allowed. He did not get his candidate as prime minister. However they chose al-Sudani then for his first term and he turned out to be THE BEST at the job so far. So Cleric Sadar sat back and did nothing. He allowed a good choice.
What do the Kurds have to say about using the popular vote to decide on the next prime minister? I quote – “In this context, Haider Ali “Abu Tara Al-Fayli,” a representative of the Fayli Kurds, says, “The negotiations to form the Iraqi government are continuing despite the internal disagreements within the coordination framework, but we see that Judge Faiq Zaidan was clear and settled the matter in his last proposal regarding the largest bloc as a constitutional clarification, and we, as representatives, follow the opinion of the Supreme Judicial Council.”
So, it sounds like the Kurds accept the court’s decision. The problem now is can the court enforce it? Yes, I believe it will be enforced. We just have to give it time to settle in their minds and get over the change. Yes, more change for Iraq. Change is hard. But remember this change takes the power away from the politicians and puts it in the hands of the people so there will be resistance to it. We read about some of this resistance already in other articles. You can go read them for yourself in the Articles Section.
There are a few other articles on the subject matter of the court ruling about the election and so let’s take peek at them too.
😊 😊 😊 The next article is titled “THE REJECTION OF AL-MALIKI’S NOMINATION TIPS THE SCALES IN FAVOR OF AL-SUDANI AND OPENS THE DOOR TO NEW POLITICAL OPTIONS.”
Political analyst Omar Al-Nasser stressed that the clear rejection by the US administration and some political parties within the State Administration Coalition, as well as within the Coordination Framework forces, of the nomination of former Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki to head the next government, requires political forces to look at the current scene more realistically and to deal with it with political rationality that is appropriate to internal and regional developments.
Again the second article first talks about the pressure from the war with Iran.
I quote from the article – “Al-Nasser said that current data indicates that the current Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, has internal and international acceptance at this stage, especially after the recent developments in the region and the ongoing war with Iran, which makes it necessary to ease the political conditions that hinder the movement of the political system and prevent any temporary breakthrough of the existing crisis.”
Then the article going into the ruling by the court. I quote – “He added that what the head of the Supreme Judicial Council, Judge Faiq Zaidan, put forward clarified matters regarding the consolidation of the political process, noting that his proposal is unprecedented in clearly addressing the problem of interpreting Article (76) of the Constitution, and the legal and political controversy that accompanied it during previous election cycles.
(Mnt Goat: 😊 Pay more attention to the following paragraph)
I quote – “Al-Nasser explained that Zaidan’s statement indicates a serious judicial trend towards correcting the course of the political process, by readjusting the mechanisms for interpreting the constitutional article related to assigning the largest bloc to form the government, and putting an end to the selective interpretations that led – as he described it – to the emergence of what he called “political innovations” in managing the government formation file, after the Federal Court sometimes resorted to legal and constitutional interpretations outside its powers, according to what the head of the Supreme Judicial Council put forward.”
What Al-Nassr is saying is he believes that some may interpret the court rulings and say the court overstepped its powers. But did it? So this is where I say we still have to wait to see what happens with this ruling, as many are still resisting this change in the political process. The article tells us there is two paths the Coordination Framework could take. I quote from the article –
“He explained that getting out of the current political deadlock could lead the coordination framework to two main options.”
1.The first is accepting the formation of a temporary emergency government headed by Mohammed Shia al-Sudani (al-Sudani already told us this is unacceptable to him)
2.The second option, according to Al-Nasser, is to abandon the principle of traditional political power-sharing and consensus, and move towards a presidential or semi-presidential system, (popular vote) which would contribute to strengthening administrative centralization and unifying the sources of political decision-making, ultimately leading to the consolidation of the foundations of good governance in the country.
“He pointed out that the current stage requires bold political decisions that reorganize the political process and put an end to the deadlock that accompanied the formation of governments in recent years.”
Now having read all this so far from above, I want to add this. Do you remember earlier, maybe a month ago, that president Trump told us that Iraq is running the elections wrong and should go by a popular voting process where the citizens decide on the new prime minister directly? Is this not what we are seeing evolve. So, is the U.S. making Iraq follow their own constitution, Article 76 correctly? Did this change all start when the US Trump envoy Barrack recently visited Iraq and talked to Zaidan, the head of the Supreme Judicial Council. Just asking….. 😊
😊 😊 😊 Then, after these two other articles are in the news, out pops this one titled “THE FRAMEWORK CHOOSES THE SUDANESE PRIME MINISTER FOR A SECOND TERM.” All I could say is WOW! WOW! WOW! So, we see that these political forces must also save face and will never admit mistakes made in selecting al-Maliki. This is why the Supreme Judicial Council stepped in with its ruling and why I firmly believe it’s going to be effective because this decision shows that the decision (legal proposal) was not made by US pressure from outside Iraq thus effecting their sovereignty, but was made internally by Iraq, even though they may not like the change so much, it was made by Iraq (so this is how they want the people to believe it) and is more palatable. Are you beginning to learn how politics work?
What does the article say? I quote from it – “According to a political source, the coordination framework is the appointment of Akhtar Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, head of the second division, and according to the source, the announcement of this system over the hours and the discovery of several sources within the coordinating”
😊 More proof al-Maliki is out is in the article titled “SUDANI ALLY READS MALIKI TWEET AS ‘WITHDRAWAL’ FROM PREMIERSHIP RACE”.
A senior ally of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said Saturday that a recent tweet by former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki amounts to a de facto withdrawal from the race for the premiership — a significant shift after weeks in which Maliki had resisted pressure to step aside. Bahaa al-Araji, head of Sudani’s Reconstruction and Development bloc in parliament, said on Al-Sharqiya TV that he interpreted Maliki’s message as stepping back from the nomination.
________________________________________
Next, I want to give a brief update on the war with Iran. As you know this blog is about the reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar and not about the war. But this war affects Iraq since these countries are next door neighbors and great trading partners. So, we can see that president Trump does not want to just destroy all of Iran as they US did with Iraq in the 2003 war. The U.S. and Israel already accomplished a huge objective and that was to rid Iran of the current Ali Khamenei, yes kill him and a group of his high-ranking officials. Incidentally they almost got his son Mojtaba Khamenei just named the new Supreme Leader of Iran. A recent attack by Israel injured him and he is in a coma and dying. Sina hospital in Iran is under security lockdown. By the time I post this Newsletter he too may be dead like his father. What now for this regime in Iran?
Also, as we all know the U.S. is not an occupier of countries once conquered. Many of my readers may not like this war but I have to tell you like it or not it had to be done to move Iraq forward too. There are not troops on the ground so I want to dispel those stupid rumors by stupid people.
Without Iran neutralized Iraq would surely become a proxy puppet state of Iran. In fact, we can clearly see it is almost there already. With the attempt to put Nori al-Maliki in as the next prime minister it shouted loudly what they planned to do. They planned, through Maliki, to form a proxy dictator reporting to Iran. Al-Maliki would have the Iranian militia (PMF) as his disposal to threaten anyone apposing his power. Over twenty seats in parliament were Iranian militia voted in. With another election cycle they might have the majority. Sort of like his own militia outside of the Iraqi Armed Forces. This is how they slowly, every so cleverly make these changes over to their own form of government and later say the people decided. Really?
In the US we also see this push for this Islamic Muslim ideology in the government houses too as they hand-pick these Muslim people and then mold the demographics of districts to vote them in. This is a slow process taking many election cycles. It must be stopped now and the wings clipped before this get out of hand. Again we face this Islamic Muslim cult stuff in our countries now or later. It is much easier now.
So, we are reading many differing stories as to what will take place in Iran. We must stay focused. We must learn the truth and not be sidetracked with the democrat propaganda machine in the US. The Trump administration did not send two carrier groups to the middle east for a joy ride in the ocean and to spend billions of dollars. There are objectives and the ultimate goal is to free the Iranian people, yes, the average citizens. There will still be brainwashed Muslims who will resist as well as many Islamic cult leaders in the government who will not want this change. Already after the death of Ali Khamenei the brainwashed idiots have selected yet another replacement for Ali Khamenei, his son of all people. We learn this guy is even worst than his father.
All I can say is they just don’t get it. Like a bunch of ants who get their ant hill destroyed they continue and continue to want to rebuild it instead of giving in and moving on. But they have no place to move on to and that’s the idea to exterminate this ‘terrorism’ cult like ideology altogether.
As investors in the Iraqi dinar I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that we will NOT see the reinstatement until this fiasco with Iran is over. The WTO is waiting to grant full accession. And even then, they will need a stable government and the economy to recover from this fiasco. Let’s just hope and pray the Trump administration is not tricked into a long and protracted war in the middle east. So far so good! So how long can we expect? In the article today we learn. Here is the article titled ‘WASHINGTON SETS A TIMEFRAME FOR ACHIEVING WAR GOALS AGAINST IRAN”.
I quote – “White House spokeswoman Carolyn Levitt said that Washington would need four to six weeks to achieve the goals of its operation in Iran. The White House spokeswoman told reporters: “We expect the operation to take four to six weeks to achieve its goals, and we are making good progress toward achieving those goals.”
Please take a peek at the article titled “IRAN SELECTS MOJTABA KHAMENEI AS NEW SUPREME LEADER”. Here we go again. What is it that these Iranian leaders just don’t get? These people are very evil. They have caused the chaos in the world since they took power in 1977. Remember this new selection of leader choice was not the people’s choice again under a democracy but under the ruling Islamic group of tyrants. They pick their own leaders. Get it?
When will the Iranian leaders of this Islamic revolution learn that things have changed and they are not going to be allowed the continuance of this Islamic Muslim / Communists revolution of the conversion of the world to this One World Government under an Islamic rule…Sorry not going to happen!
So, Iran names Mojtaba Khamenei the new Supreme Leader, succeeding his father Ali Khamenei, becoming the third person to hold the post since the establishment of the Islamic Republic, the country’s Assembly of Experts said.
I want everyone to read this clearly in what follows. This process of electing leadership is exactly what the Coordination Framework was doing in Iraq. Get it? They left the people out of the decision making process of their important leaders by interpreting the Iraqi constitution article 76 to their liking. Now the Supreme Judiciary Council of Iraq has stepping in and set it right.
So, here is how Iran selects its leaders. I quote – “Under Iran’s constitutional mechanism, the Assembly of Experts, an elected body of senior clerics, holds the authority to appoint the supreme leader. Mojtaba Khamenei’s name had topped speculation since the early days of the US-Israeli war on Iran”.
Do see anywhere in this statement above getting the average citizen to vote and hold the prior government accountable for its actions? Can you see how they were doing this in Iraq too with the Coordination Framework and the majority block? Even though the Iraq people would vote in Iraq, their votes could be overturned by these parties when they put their elected seats won together to override the popular votes and form this majority block. Of course, in Iran they don’t even go this far as they have absolute power by their Islamic clerics and call themselves the ‘Assembly of Experts’. Yes, they know better what is good for the people. Oh… does this also sound like communism? They rule by their own Islamic so-called religious ideology, like a monarchy and this is apparent in who they chose for the next supreme leader. But we know Islamic Muslims are a sad cult and not really a religion after all. They use religion as their coverup for the evil they perpetrate.
What is the US stance on this latest new leader selection? I quote – “US President Donald Trump noted in an interview with ABC News Iran’s next supreme leader would need Washington’s approval, warning the successor “won’t last long” without it. Earlier, he said that he would not accept Mojtaba Khamenei as the country’s leader.
I want everyone to see that the US is not interfering in a democrat run government and the selection of their leadership. Instead the US is attempting to create a democratic process in Iran and free the people. Take peek at article titled “PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SAYS IRAN’S NEXT SUPREME LEADER MUST HAVE US APPROVAL TO REMAIN IN POWER”. Oh…. many of my readers may be thinking we should not be interfering in Iranian affairs. But these readers of mine do not understand fully the ramifications of not interfering. Iran will build a nuclear warhead and they have long-range ballistic missile capabilities. Get it? When they threaten the US and Israel and other neighboring countries do we just ignore it? They don’t live by themselves as they use other countries to loot and pillage. These Iranian Islamic Muslim will tell us it is their destiny to take over the world entirely with the ideology. So, can you see they are the aggressors not the US or its allies. It is about time to deal with them. We have said in the past that we deal with them then or later and now is later. Past US presidents has policies of ‘pacification’ much like they ignored what was going on in WW2 in Nazi Germany only to find later the attack on Pearl Harbor and then Germany declared war on the U.S. Do you even know your history? It has been too long already.Pacification does not make it go away and only bites you in the ass later.
I quote – “President Donald Trump said Iran’s next supreme leader would need U.S. approval to remain in power, warning that any leader without Washington’s backing “won’t last long.”
☹ This RV Status is too long already. But necessary as the situation in Iraq must be fully and honestly understood. There is one more example of the tyranny of these PMF militia in Iraq and this is EXACTLY why president Trump told us they must go. Please see the article titled “A STRONGLY WORDED MESSAGE FROM BARZANI TO BAGHDAD: PUT AN END TO THE FACTIONS’ ATTACKS ON KURDISTAN BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE.”
These are attacks from the Iranian militia (PMF forces) inside Iraq are not good. Now do you know why they must be disbanded and disarmed? Why Trump insist on it. Plus why al-Maliki has openly said they would continue to exist if he was prime minister. This attack is also going to put pressure on al-Sudani, when he is voted in for a second term, to end these militias once and for all. Oh… this is why the Coordination Framework did not want al-Sudani as their candidate since the beginning. Get it now? Are you seeing the BIG picture here? Al-Sudani was a “bad boy” in telling the US he would work out a plan to rid Iraq of these militia.
I quote from the article – “The President of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Masoud Barzani, addressed a strongly worded message to the Baghdad government on Sunday (March 8, 2026), demanding that it put an end to the attacks by armed factions on Kurdistan before it is too late.” – “Barzani said in a message, a copy of which was received by Baghdad Today, that “the people of Kurdistan have never been in favor of war throughout history, but have always sought peace and coexistence,” stressing that “when wars were imposed on them, they did nothing but defend themselves and their rights.”
Oh…. I want to remind everyone too that if you have been following the news from Iraq during the Nori al-Maliki years you know that he openly stated he wanted a war with the Kurds and to take control of the oil wealth. He hates the Kurds. How could he ever be a fair prime minister with this attitude if you want to unite all of Iraq under one nation to prosper. Remember? Now put it all together in your mind what we witnessed over these last 3-4 months with the election cycle.

PRAYING WITH SINCERITY
Many may ask why their prayers are not being answered. Our new Shepard in Rome Pope Leo XIV has given us some direction.
You can purchase a nice pair of Rosary Beads here to pray:
These prophecies are more important now more than ever. They give us the strength, perseverance and hope that a better time is coming and that God’s Hand is at work behind the scenes. If you just take a second even to look around you at these past three election cycles, how can you deny that God is at work? Are you sleeping or what?
It is amazing and there is no other way that these events could have happened the way they turned out. But there is more to come, much, much more, I assure you! Now that God has his biblical David re-elected, we need to pay attention to what He does next.
NOTE: These prophecies just keep getting better and better, giving us HOPE of a brighter future. But the real reason why I listen to them is that we can actually see what God says He will do is taking place right in front of our noses. It is a confirmation to me that God is real and is still with us forever just as in biblical times.

Fr. DON BOSCO EXPOSED THE DARK SECRET BEHIND ISLAM
— And the Truth the World Forgot about the so-called Muslim religion. Fr.Don Bosco, also known as John Bosco, was an Italian Catholic priest and educator, born on August 16, 1815. He founded the Salesian Society in 1859 to help disadvantaged youth, particularly boys, through education and community service. His teachings emphasized lovekindness, and the importance of education for young people, making him a beloved figure in Catholicism and a patron saint of youth. Don Bosco was canonized in 1934.

CALLS FOR THE TRUMP ADMIN TO ‘FINISH’ IRAN’S MILITARY
Dumb founded, ridiculous and almost to a point of brainless allegations from some democrats politicians that Iran was not a threat to the US and so why attack it. These kinds of statements pose a deep question of whether the democrats actually know what the hell is going on in the middle east, at home and with the ongoing War Against Terrorism.
If I remember correctly, they are the party that let millions of illegal immigrants into the US through their UN Agenda 2030 open boarder policies. Along with the immigrant came unvetted militia terrorist groups. These groups could be triggered, and probably will be triggered, at sometime soon to conduct operations in the US.
What will the democrats have to say when their neighborhoods are attacked and innocent people are killing in their districts? What then? Will they continue with their dumb founded rhetoric. Of course, is all about hatred for Trump and not even thinking about the security of the US. I don’t know about you but I am getting a bit tired of this stupidity and rhetoric towards Trump. It has gotten to the point that it does not even make any common sense anymore. We are not that stupid!
Midterm voting is coming up and we must THINK, THINK about what party we want to present us. Is it a party of fantasy or a party of reality we want in these house seats?
I have created a brand-new “Post RV Workshop” page in the blog. I included my own personal tips on investing post-RV and also organizing and protecting your estate. Here is the LINK.

WASHINGTON SETS A TIMEFRAME FOR ACHIEVING WAR GOALS AGAINST IRAN
White House spokeswoman Carolyn Levitt said that Washington would need four to six weeks to achieve the goals of its operation in Iran. The White House spokeswoman told reporters: “We expect the operation to take four to six weeks to achieve its goals, and we are making good progress toward achieving those goals.”
She added that the United States has sufficient ammunition to achieve its objectives in Iran, saying: “We have sufficient stockpiles of ammunition and weapons to achieve our objectives.”

A GOVERNMENT ADVISOR IDENTIFIES FOUR PATHS TO ACHIEVING ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION IN IRAQ.
The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, confirmed on Friday that achieving sustainable economic stability in Iraq requires expanding the productive base and activating four main policy paths to reduce dependence on oil revenues.
Saleh told Al-Furat News Agency:
1.“The first path is based on manufacturing natural resources and maximizing their added value, indicating that Iraq possesses strategic resources such as silicon, sulfur and phosphate, and that moving from exporting raw materials to processing them industrially allows for the establishment of integrated production chains that contribute to increasing returns and generating job opportunities.
2.He added that the second track relates to revitalizing the micro, small and medium enterprises sector, as it is capable of absorbing about 60% of the workforce if the appropriate financial and regulatory environment is available, stressing the need to link these projects to a broader industrial strategy that focuses on infrastructure.
3.Saleh added that the third path includes developing the agricultural sector and enhancing food security through adopting digital transformation and developing logistics services, noting that expanding agricultural manufacturing doubles the economic value of products and creates productive links between agriculture and industry.
4.Regarding the fourth track, Saleh called for restructuring the tourism sector through partnership with the private sector and developing tourism infrastructure, stressing that Iraq represents a historical, archaeological and religious treasure trove that can be transformed into an important source of national income.
Saleh concluded by pointing out that achieving economic diversification requires the integration of policies that link industry, agriculture, services and tourism within a comprehensive development vision to build a more sustainable economy.

MP Kazem al-Shammari, from the Services Bloc, confirmed that most of the forces within the Coordination Framework have withdrawn their support for former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, with the exception of only two entities that still back his candidacy.

SUDANI ALLY READS MALIKI TWEET AS ‘WITHDRAWAL’ FROM PREMIERSHIP RACE
2026-03-07 | 23:35
BAGHDAD — A senior ally of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said Saturday that a recent tweet by former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki amounts to a de facto withdrawal from the race for the premiership — a significant shift after weeks in which Maliki had resisted pressure to step aside.
Bahaa al-Araji, head of Sudani’s Reconstruction and Development bloc in parliament, said on Al-Sharqiya TV that he interpreted Maliki’s message as stepping back from the nomination.
“I read Mr. Maliki’s tweet, in which he called on the next government to follow an independent national approach away from political axes. This represents a withdrawal from the nomination for the position of prime minister, and he should be thanked for that under the current circumstances,” Araji said, adding that the tweet “reflected the position of a statesman and a leader who understands the situation in all its details.”
Araji also said the Coordination Framework’s most recent meeting reflected a shift away from Maliki’s candidacy. “Its leaders reached a consensus that it would be difficult to proceed with Mr. Maliki’s nomination,” he said.
He positioned Sudani as the dominant figure in the current political moment. “Sudani is no longer just a candidate. Today, Sudani is the decisive figure at this stage. Who among the other candidates can reach an understanding with both the United States and Iran at the same time?”
Araji also noted his bloc’s parliamentary weight in ongoing negotiations, saying its 50-odd seats entitle it to five ministries.
In the March 5 tweet, Maliki wrote that Iraq “must be an effective balancing element in its regional environment” and called for an “independent national approach that does not engage in axes” — language Araji interpreted as a signal of withdrawal.
Maliki’s candidacy had become an increasingly awkward standoff within the Coordination Framework. After being nominated following the 2025 elections, he faced mounting pressure to stand down but refused to withdraw, repeatedly absenting himself from Framework meetings rather than formally conceding — leaving the alliance in the position of having to either force him out or proceed with a nominee that Washington had publicly rejected. U.S. President Donald Trump warned that Washington could reconsider its support for Iraq if Maliki became prime minister, and the Foreign Ministry said the U.S. message included an “explicit hint” of sanctions.

POLITICAL ANALYST: THE SUDANESE CANDIDATE IS THE MOST LIKELY TO WIN A SECOND TERM AFTER RECENT POLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS.
Political analyst Haider Al-Humaidawi confirmed that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani’s chances of renewing his term have become the highest at the present stage, in light of the recent political data and internal and external positions related to the file of the next government’s leadership.
Al-Humaidawi said that the political indicators circulating suggest that Al-Sudani has the best chance of leading the government again, especially after the messages that spoke of an American position that was not encouraging for the return of former Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki to the position, despite him being one of the most prominent competitors for the premiership.
He added that these developments also coincided with the clarification issued by the head of the Supreme Judicial Council, Faiq Zaidan, regarding the issue of the “largest bloc,” and the constitutional and political discussions it raised about the mechanisms for forming the next government.
Al-Humaidawi explained that there are other political factors within the coordination framework that enhance Al-Sudani’s chances, noting that some key forces within the coalition have expressed clear reservations about nominating Al-Maliki for the premiership.
He explained that the Sadiqun bloc and the Hikma movement expressed an unenthusiastic stance towards Maliki’s return to the premiership, which, according to his assessment, strengthens the chances of Sudani remaining in office during the next phase.
Al-Humaidawi pointed out that these political indicators make Al-Sudani, in his estimation, the closest candidate to lead the next government by a percentage of up to about 90%, especially in light of the efforts of the Coordination Framework forces to maintain the cohesion of the alliance and avoid entering into an early conflict over the position of Prime Minister.
He concluded by saying that current data suggests that al-Sudani may be “the man of the next phase,” unless new political changes occur that reshuffle the cards within political alliances before the upcoming elections.
*********************************************************************************************
THE REJECTION OF AL-MALIKI’S NOMINATION TIPS THE SCALES IN FAVOR OF AL-SUDANI AND OPENS THE DOOR TO NEW POLITICAL OPTIONS.
Political analyst Omar Al-Nasser stressed that the clear rejection by the US administration and some political parties within the State Administration Coalition, as well as within the Coordination Framework forces, of the nomination of former Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki to head the next government, requires political forces to look at the current scene more realistically and to deal with it with political rationality that is appropriate to internal and regional developments.
Al-Nasser said that current data indicates that the current Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, has internal and international acceptance at this stage, especially after the recent developments in the region and the ongoing war with Iran, which makes it necessary to ease the political conditions that hinder the movement of the political system and prevent any temporary breakthrough of the existing crisis.
He added that what the head of the Supreme Judicial Council, Judge Faiq Zaidan, put forward clarified matters regarding the consolidation of the political process, noting that his proposal is unprecedented in clearly addressing the problem of interpreting Article (76) of the Constitution, and the legal and political controversy that accompanied it during previous election cycles.
(Mnt Goat: 😊 Pay attention to the following paragraph)
Al-Nasser explained that Zaidan’s statement indicates a serious judicial trend towards correcting the course of the political process, by readjusting the mechanisms for interpreting the constitutional article related to assigning the largest bloc to form the government, and putting an end to the selective interpretations that led – as he described it – to the emergence of what he called “political innovations” in managing the government formation file, after the Federal Court sometimes resorted to legal and constitutional interpretations outside its powers, according to what the head of the Supreme Judicial Council put forward.
He explained that getting out of the current political deadlock could lead the coordination framework to two main options.
1.The first is accepting the formation of a temporary emergency government headed by Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, in preparation for holding early elections that would restore balance to the political scene and open the way for the Sadrist movement to return to political participation as an important component in the Iraqi political equation.
2.The second option, according to Al-Nasser, is to abandon the principle of traditional political power-sharing and consensus, and move towards a presidential or semi-presidential system, which would contribute to strengthening administrative centralization and unifying the sources of political decision-making, ultimately leading to the consolidation of the foundations of good governance in the country.
He pointed out that the current stage requires bold political decisions that reorganize the political process and put an end to the deadlock that accompanied the formation of governments in recent years.
*********************************************************************************************
“IRAQ WITHOUT A GOVERNMENT”: A LEGAL PROPOSAL THAT COULD BREAK THE POLITICAL DEADLOCK
Iraq has been experiencing a political deadlock for nearly four months since the parliamentary elections, as the sharp division within the “coordination framework” over the identity of the next prime minister, and the dispute over the definition of the “largest bloc,” have frozen constitutional processes, amid anticipation of what will result from last-minute understandings between the forces holding the reins of the initiative.
While Iraqis were waiting for the emergence of an executive authority that would translate the results of the November 11, 2025 elections, the ongoing war between Iran on one side, and the United States and Israel on the other, which entered its sixth day, imposed new realities, amid direct American pressure led by Donald Trump on Iraqi political forces to exclude specific figures from the premiership.
Rebalancing
In the midst of this crisis, the vision of the head of the Iraqi Supreme Judicial Council, Judge Faiq Zaidan, emerged as a decisive legal step aimed at restoring credibility to the ballot boxes by correcting what he described as the “sin of misinterpretation” of Article 76 of the Constitution.
Zidan’s vision is based on the principle of “first come, first served,” by adopting the winning list in the vote as the “largest bloc,” and granting it the exclusive right to nominate the prime minister, instead of the current interpretation that allows for the merging of blocs within parliament after the elections, which ends the era of subsequent alliances that emptied the ballot boxes of their content and opened the door to a long political deadlock.
In this context, Haider Ali “Abu Tara Al-Fayli,” a representative of the Fayli Kurds, says, “The negotiations to form the Iraqi government are continuing despite the internal disagreements within the coordination framework, but we see that Judge Faiq Zaidan was clear and settled the matter in his last proposal regarding the largest bloc as a constitutional clarification, and we, as representatives, follow the opinion of the Supreme Judicial Council.”
Al-Faily warns that “the failure to form a government has disrupted all state departments, and this is a serious danger in light of what is happening in the region, and it is considered a direct threat to Iraq, so it is necessary to expedite the resolution in the coming days.”
Washington veto
However, this optimism clashes with the firm stance of the State of Law Coalition, which views direct American intervention as a violation of sovereignty, especially after President Trump’s threats to halt aid if the coalition’s leader, Nouri al-Maliki, assumes the premiership.
Coalition leader Arif al-Hamami affirms: “Our candidate so far is al-Maliki, and the last meeting of the framework (the day before yesterday, Tuesday) confirmed our commitment to him,” noting that “the decision to change is not in the hands of al-Maliki, but rather in the hands of the framework that appointed him.”
He believes that “changing the candidate as a result of American pressure and dictates is an insult to national legitimacy, as the American government is not rational and does not respect treaties, and yielding to it will mean its future interference even in the details of ministries.”
Regarding Judge Zaidan’s vision, Al-Hamami explains that “what Judge Zaidan presented is a vision and not a binding decision, as the constitutional amendment requires impossible steps and its clash with the rejection of 3 governorates may end it,” considering that “the big obstacle now is the Kurds’ delay in nominating the president of the republic, which is the main obstacle.”
“The Independent Alternative”
On the other side of the coordination framework, the picture looks more pessimistic regarding consensus. Rahman al-Jazairi, a leader in the framework, believes that we are facing a “clear political suffocation” that coincides with the armed conflict in the region.
Al-Jazairi says that “Judge Zaidan’s proposal will create a new character, as there are opponents of Al-Sudani’s appointment despite his having the most seats (46 seats in the Iraqi parliament, which consists of 329 seats), and there are widespread objections. On the other hand, there is no official withdrawal of Al-Maliki, nor a unanimous decision from the framework, and the current meetings are private and unofficial.”
The Algerian adds a security dimension to the scene: “The Popular Mobilization Forces fighters are now being targeted by Israeli and American aircraft missiles, and this will inevitably delay the formation of the government, and we will remain stuck in a state of (emergency government).”
He also reveals a surprising scenario: “Perhaps after Eid al-Fitr a legal option will be imposed, either by dissolving parliament or reconsidering the issue of the prime minister. There is now an (independent) figure outside the framework table, who is close regionally and has the approval of the supreme religious authority in Najaf, and he may be announced in the coming days as a compromise candidate.”
These debates come at a time when the head of the Judicial Council, Faiq Zaidan, confirmed in an article published on March 3 that the previous interpretation of 2010 allowed for changing the results expressed by the voters, which led to repeated crises, the latest of which is the one Iraq is experiencing.
For their part, the four presidencies – President Abdul Latif Jamal Rashid, Prime Minister (outgoing) Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, Speaker of Parliament Hebat Al-Halbousi, and Chief Justice Faiq Zaidan – stressed in their meeting yesterday, Thursday, the importance of expediting the completion of constitutional requirements.

A STRONGLY WORDED MESSAGE FROM BARZANI TO BAGHDAD: PUT AN END TO THE FACTIONS’ ATTACKS ON KURDISTAN BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE.
(These are attacks from the Iranian militia (PMF forces) inside Iraq. Now do you know why they must be disbanded and disarmed? Why Trump insist on it. Plus why Maliki wants them, if he was prime minister. This is also going to put pressure on al_Sudani when he is voted in for a second term to end these militias once and for all. Oh… this is why the Coordination Framework did not want him as their candidate. Get it now? )
The President of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Masoud Barzani, addressed a strongly worded message to the Baghdad government on Sunday (March 8, 2026), demanding that it put an end to the attacks by armed factions on Kurdistan before it is too late.
Barzani said in a message, a copy of which was received by Baghdad Today, that “the people of Kurdistan have never been in favor of war throughout history, but have always sought peace and coexistence,” stressing that “when wars were imposed on them, they did nothing but defend themselves and their rights.”
He added that “this fact stems from a deep faith and rich culture among the people of Kurdistan based on love of peace and coexistence,” expressing his “regret for the increasing tensions and conflicts currently taking place in the region,” and stressing that “the hope has always been, in the past as in the present, that all problems will be resolved through peaceful means, because wars bring nothing but destruction and tragedy.”
He added, “What is surprising is that some groups and parties, under the name of ‘resistance’ and with baseless pretexts and slogans, have attacked civilian sites and economic infrastructure in the Kurdistan Region, as well as the bases and headquarters of the Peshmerga forces,” considering that “these actions represent incitement to war and a clear attack on the rights of citizens and on the stability and security of the Kurdistan Region.”
Barzani stressed that “everyone must realize that restraint has its limits,” noting that “the Peshmerga forces have never accepted injustice or aggression from any party, and these hostile acts that threaten the stability of the Kurdistan Region and the security of its citizens cannot be allowed to continue.”
He called on “the Iraqi government, the Iraqi parliament, and all political forces, especially the coordinating framework, to deal seriously with these attacks and put a clear end to them,” warning that “the continuation of these actions will lead to serious consequences.”
Barzani also expressed his “deep sympathy to the families and relatives of the martyrs who fell as a result of these illegitimate attacks,” stressing to the people of Kurdistan that work will continue with all energies to keep the region away from wars and tragedies, and to preserve security, stability and the lives of citizens.

THE FRAMEWORK CHOOSES THE SUDANESE PRIME MINISTER FOR A SECOND TERM.
According to a political source, the coordination framework is the appointment of Akhtar Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, head of the second division, and according to the source, the announcement of this system over the hours and the discovery of several sources within the coordinating Ittar, following the signing of the agreement on the second term of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani with the high support of the presidential leaders in the Ittar, including the President Ammar al-Hakim, leader of the Victory Coalition, Haider al-Abadi, leader of the Asaib Movement, Qais al-Khazzali, and Hadi al-Amri.
According to the sources, other personalities such as Abu Alaa al-Walaei Abdat have a positive position towards this option, in which they are the source of insights to attract promotion Nuri al-Maliki, the leader of the rule of law coalition, after weeks of internal and external pressure.
A source close to Al-Ittar said that some parties, such as Mohsen al-Mandlawi and Mam Hamudi, are trying to defend a weak stage or alternative, even if they fail to try to form a state coalition. The law towards an alternative to ownership from among the rows, failed to look at the absence of a powerful leak that enjoys experience and widespread acceptance.
As requested earlier in the morning, the candidates of the agreements resigned (between the former governments) no contact after now and now they are deprived of the opportunity to “command only” agreed Source

RULE OF LAW: WE WILL COMPLETE TWO-THIRDS WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK IF THE SUDANESE NEED IT TO SECURE A SECOND TERM.
Diaa Al-Nasiri, a member of the State of Law Coalition, confirmed that the coalition will complete the two-thirds within the coordination framework if the current Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, needs it to finalize his nomination for a second term.
Al-Nasiri said on a television program: “If the Sudanese candidate gets a two-thirds majority, we are with him.”
The statement comes as no official statement has been issued by the framework announcing the withdrawal of Nouri al-Maliki’s candidacy, as the latter insists that the framework itself should withdraw, and that he will not back down.
A private source confirmed that understandings within the coordination framework to re-nominate Mr. Al-Sudani for a second term have been postponed for a few days, after it was planned to announce this at Monday’s meeting.

In a statement, the ministry said that specialized agencies conducted inspections and surveillance operations that resulted in the closure of dozens of unlicensed exchange offices and the arrest of individuals accused of involvement in the illegal buying and selling of foreign currency, as well as suspected money laundering.
The ministry affirmed that these measures are part of the government’s efforts to regulate the currency market and prevent illegal dollar speculation, emphasizing that security campaigns will continue to pursue violators and take legal action against them.

“SECURITY CONCERNS” ARE DRIVING IRAQIS TO WITHDRAW THEIR MONEY FROM STATE-OWNED BANKS.
(Here we go again. Apparently there is no other solution other than to go with the collection of these large notes under the project to delete the zeros. Deadlines for turn in must be established regardless of that these RV intel gurus are telling you.)
An informed source reported on Monday that state-owned banks in Iraq, particularly Rafidain Bank and Rasheed Bank, are suffering from a severe liquidity crisis and a shortage of cash, with a clear decline in the funds available within those banks.
The source told Shafaq News Agency that “citizens who have deposited money have been withdrawing their funds from government banks recently as a result of security concerns and developments in the region.”
He added that these concerns stem from escalating regional tensions, particularly the war between the United States and Israel on one side, and Iran on the other, and the potential repercussions this could have on the security and economic situation in Iraq.
The source indicated that government banks are still suffering from problems resulting from administrative and legal violations in their work, as they have not witnessed serious steps to develop their banking systems in recent years, as they still rely heavily on paper procedures and traditional methods of work, far from adopting electronic systems and modern banking technologies.

IRAN SELECTS MOJTABA KHAMENEI AS NEW SUPREME LEADER
(Here we go again. Remember this choice was not the peoples choice under a democracy but under the ruling Islamic group of tyrants. When will the Iranian leaders of this Islamic revolution learn that things have changed and they are not going to be allowed to continue this Islamic Muslim / Communists revolution of the conversion of the world to this One World Government under an Islamic rule…Sorry not going to happen! )
Iran named Mojtaba Khamenei the new Supreme Leader, succeeding his father Ali Khamenei, becoming the third person to hold the post since the establishment of the Islamic Republic, the country’s Assembly of Experts said.
In a statement, the council called on “the entire Iranian nation, particularly elites and intellectuals in institutions and universities, to pledge allegiance to the leadership and preserve unity around the axis of guardianship.”
Under Iran’s constitutional mechanism, the Assembly of Experts, an elected body of senior clerics, holds the authority to appoint the supreme leader. Mojtaba Khamenei’s name had topped speculation since the early days of the US-Israeli war on Iran.
US President Donald Trump noted in an interview with ABC News Iran’s next supreme leader would need Washington’s approval, warning the successor “won’t last long” without it. Earlier, he said that he would not accept Mojtaba Khamenei as the country’s leader.
US and Israeli strikes killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on February 28 during attacks on Iranian targets, including sites in Tehran.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SAYS IRAN’S NEXT SUPREME LEADER MUST HAVE US APPROVAL TO REMAIN IN POWER
President Donald Trump said Iran’s next supreme leader would need U.S. approval to remain in power, warning that any leader without Washington’s backing “won’t last long.”
Donald Trump, President of the United States, said the next supreme leader of Iran would not remain in power for long without Washington’s approval.
In remarks to ABC News on Sunday, Trump said Iran’s upcoming leader would need approval from the United States to maintain his position.
Trump added that his administration wants to prevent future crises with Iran, saying the goal is to avoid repeating similar confrontations every few years.
“We want to make sure that we don’t have to go back every 10 years, when you don’t have a president like me that’s not going to do it,” he said.
The U.S. president also said he does not want the situation to repeat in five years or for Iran to develop nuclear weapons.
When asked whether he would approve a leader with ties to Iran’s previous ruling establishment, Trump said he would consider it if the candidate proves capable of leading effectively.
“I would, in order to choose a good leader,” he said, adding that several individuals could qualify. Trump also claimed that Iran had been planning to expand its influence across the Middle East before the recent escalation.
“They are a paper tiger,” Trump said. “They weren’t a paper tiger a week ago. Their plan was to attack the entire Middle East and take over the entire Middle East.”
The remarks come amid heightened tensions following recent military confrontations between the United States and Iran. Washington and Israel launched airstrikes on targets inside Iran in late February, which Tehran responded to with missile attacks targeting Israel and U.S. military positions across the region.
Iran is currently preparing to select a new supreme leader through its constitutional institutions as regional tensions continue to escalate.
