Guten Tag everyone:

The RV saga continues with the election cycle. There were meetings to decide on the new nominee scheduled for Sunday, Monday, then Wednesday, then the weekend passed. Well, well wouldn’t you know it last night, Monday night’s meeting delivered a new nominee, yes someone outside of al-Sudani or al-Maliki. Will he work out? Who is he?

“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

STATUS OF THE RV

Round’ n round we go….. Suggested dates for resolving the deadlock in the selection of the prime minister and the deputy prime minister keep slipping by over and over again. Do you want a realistic evaluation of what the situation is in Iraq or do you want to continue to listen to this every day / any day hype and rumors about an imminent RV? Foolish words by fools! So, let’s get real today and take a deeper dive into this election mess and where it really stands. How else are we going to get to realistic timeframe for the RV? I will try to make this Newsletter short and to the point today.

There are lots of article to get through today so relax and try to learn what is going on. As usual I try to bring them in a sequential flow as much as possible so you can get a feel for how things evolve in Iraq and why. The ending to this election saga may be finally here. There is a new nominee outside of al-Maliki or al- Sudani. Will he survive the vote in parliament? It appears he as the confidence of the US government, so this is a good start. Then if all of this goes smoothly, what kind of prime minister will he actually be in reality?

Will he again pacify the corruption of the Iranian-led politicians of the Coordination Framework or will he serve the people and support the necessary reforms and grow the economy and work with US Washington over these next four years to make moves towards the reinstatement of the dinar? (Stability part for the RV).

Will he support Washington’s desire to remove the PMF and other associated terrorist organizations from Iraq (Security part needed for the RV).

So, let’s get to it to do it! 😊

_______________________________

Behind the scenes in the homes of the framework leaders, discussions never end. Successive meetings – bilateral and collective – are held by the coordinating forces, where the final details of the battle for the premiership are being plotted, in a scene that seems more like a horse-trading auction. Maliki and Sudani both want some sort of positions in the new government. Then the constitutional deadline ended Saturday night, now what?

Take a peek at the article titled “THE FORMATION OF THE GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL AFTER EID AL-ADHA, AND THE FRAMEWORK REMAINS IN AN OPEN-ENDED IMPASSE.” The Independent – “The selection of a prime minister candidate within the coordination framework has entered a more complicated phase, after the postponement of the meeting that was scheduled for Sunday evening, amid expectations that the decision will be postponed until after Eid al-Adha, as a number of deputies and leaders of the framework head to perform the Hajj rituals, and sharp disagreements continue regarding the proposed names and the mechanism for reaching a consensus candidate.”

According to Article 76 of the Iraqi constitution once the deadline of 15 days is met this duty now flows to the new president. Of course, this constitutional prevision must also be enforced, will it? Already the Coordination Framework announced they need yet another four days past the deadline. They swear they can get it done in this timeline just as they also told us so many times already. Will the Supreme Judicial Court now finally step in and enforce their previous ruling on the majority block? This would surely give al-Sudani the nomination and so ‘done’. This would also change this election process forever going forward. Of course, the Iranians won’t like this since it gives more control over the citizens to election the new prime minister and takes away the stronghold on the government by the Iranians in Iraq.

As you can see in Article 76 below, there are no provisions in case of deadlock beyond the designated 15 days of what to do. The only option is to forward the issue to the Supreme Judiciary Court to resolve. Here it is in the actual constitution followed by a legal expert to explain how other provisions in the constitution work together with Article 76 to resolve the vacuum created on Sunday night.

Article 76

First

The President of the Republic shall charge the nominee of the largest Council of Representatives bloc with the formation of the Council of Ministers within fifteen days from the date of the election of the President of the Republic.

Second

The Prime Minister-designate shall undertake the naming of the members of his Council of Ministers within a period not to exceed thirty days from the date of his designation.

Third

If the Prime Minister-designate fails to form the Council of Ministers during the period specified in clause “Second,” the President of the Republic shall charge a new nominee for the post of Prime Minister within fifteen days.

Fourth

The Prime Minister-designate shall present the names of his members of the Council of Ministers and the ministerial program to the Council of Representatives. He is deemed to have gained its confidence upon the approval, by an absolute majority of the Council of Representatives, of the individual Ministers and the ministerial program.

Fifth

The President of the Republic shall charge another nominee to form the Council of Ministers within fifteen days in case the Council of Ministers did not win the vote of confidence.

If we take a look at a recent article titled “IRAQ PM NOMINATION RULES: LEGAL EXPERT BREAKS DOWN ARTICLE 76” we learn from an Iraqi legal expert who outlines how Article 76 and other Article of Iraq’s 2005 Constitution work together to govern the nomination of a prime minister and provides a framework to prevent a constitutional vacuum during political deadlock. Well…. we can see it didn’t really ‘prevent’ because it is Monday morning and here we are with a vacuum. What happens next is critical in resolving the matter and should be a speedy reaction. Do you think over 5 months of deadlock and now past the deadline of the 15 days even, since the president was elected, is now a vacuum warranting further constitutional action? Of course we all know the answer is yes. So we wait to see what happens next. We all know how sloooooow Iraw is. Will this be any different?

What Happens if No Candidate Is Presented

Article 76 does not explicitly address a scenario in which the largest bloc fails to nominate a candidate. In such cases, Al-Tamimi said the president’s constitutional role under Article 67 becomes central. He explained that the president may refer the matter to the Federal Supreme Court for interpretation, in line with Article 7 of the court’s internal regulations, which allow formal requests for constitutional clarification.

Binding Authority of the Court

Under Article 94 of the Constitution, rulings by the Federal Supreme Court are final and binding on all authorities. Al-Tamimi said this ensures that the court’s interpretation becomes the decisive mechanism for resolving disputes and preventing political maneuvering that could lead to a constitutional vacuum.

There are internet RV intel gurus telling you the president now has authority to select the nominee for prime minister since the 15-day deadline is reached. The answer is clearly ‘no he does not’. However, the president does have the obligation to forward this to the Supreme Judiciary Court for a ruling on what to do next. Right now, it is open ended as the constitution does not have an answer. I guess they never thought this would happen? Keep in the back of your mind that the court already made a ruling weeks ago and so will they now just enforce their ruling? What does the constitution say  under Article 94?

________________________________________

Let’s see what parliament had to say about missing the constitutional deadline in the article titled “A PARLIAMENTARY MESSAGE TO THE FRAMEWORK: NO DEADLINE AFTER SATURDAY, WE WILL CHOOSE THE PRIME MINISTER.”  Mahmoud al-Shammari, a member of the Services Bloc in the Iraqi Parliament, revealed on Thursday evening that members of Parliament intend to collect signatures and send an official letter to the President of the Republic to nominate a suitable person for the position of Prime Minister, in the event that the Coordination Framework does not reach an agreement on choosing a candidate by next Saturday. He added: “We are waiting for the leadership of the framework until next Saturday, and if they do not reach an agreement to choose the appropriate candidate for the position of Prime Minister, then the members of Parliament will collect signatures and send an official letter to the President of the Republic to nominate the appropriate person and get out of the political deadlock.” Does the new president have the power to nominate the candidate for prime minister. Clearly when we look at the constitution, he does not. See my deep dive into this issue in my explanation in my above commentary including articles from the Iraq constitution.

This is of course all silly talk as parliament does not have the constitutional power to name the candidate. There is a ‘separation of powers’ in their constitutional republic too.

________________________________________

If we take a peek at the article titled “MP: REPEATEDLY POSTPONING MEETINGS TO DECIDE ON THE PRIME MINISTERSHIP COULD OPEN A DOOR FOR FOREIGN INTERFERENCE” MP Mukhtar al-Youssef, from the Badr parliamentary bloc, warned on Tuesday against the repeated postponement of meetings of the Coordination Framework regarding the selection of the largest bloc’s candidate for the position of the next prime minister. He called on the framework’s leaders to resolve the issue next Wednesday (this past Wednesday), as further delays could open the door to foreign interference. So, what foreign country do you believe would be most likely to interfere? Could it be the U.S. they are talking about without saying? Remember the U.S. envoy to Iraq already met weeks ago with the leader of the Supreme Judicial Council. Soon after this meeting the ruling came out. Do you remember the ruling? It was on how the majority block should be determined and changed entirely the way the majority block is now being determined. Remember at that time I also suggested that the currency Coordination Framework could have the majority block designation taken from them if a deadlock is not resolved on time to meet the constitutional deadline. Well we are now there.

________________________________________

If we read a recent article titled “A BILLION DOLLARS TO PREVENT MALIKI… FINANCIAL INTERVENTIONS SHAKE THE SELECTION OF THE PRIME MINISTER” we learn just how bad they do not want Nouri al-Maliki as the prime minister. This would be like electing Joe Biden as president again… not going to happen. Remember that’s a billion dollars not dinars…… Oh and we were still sending a half a billion dollars monthly to Iraq as foreign aid, of course down from the two billion. Oh…poor Iraq…lol… lol… lol…! 😊

The spokesman for the Sayyid al-Shuhada Brigades, Kazem al-Fartousi, stated on Thursday that one billion dollars was paid to prevent the Coordination Framework from proceeding with the nomination of Nouri al-Maliki for the premiership, calling on the leaders of the Framework and the country to free themselves from American control, and indicating that American control over the flow of dollars to Iraq is not subject to the reaction of the armed factions, but rather to the rejection of its policies in the country.

________________________________________

Next within the next article I show you yet more proof as to why the Iranian let Coordination Framework does not want al-Sudani as prime minister. It is titled “WHAT WILL HE CHOOSE? THE SUDANESE GOVERNMENT FACES WASHINGTON’S DEMANDS TO CUT THE SALARIES OF THE POPULAR MOBILIZATION FORCES AND TARGET THE FACTIONS”. The head of the Reconstruction and Development bloc, Bahaa al-Araji, revealed that there is a division within the coordination framework regarding the mechanism for choosing the next prime minister, between the “signatures” system adopted by the State of Law bloc and “direct voting,” stressing that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani is facing harsh American conditions, including cutting the salaries of the Popular Mobilization Forces and striking some factions .I have to ask where are these salaries coming from? Could they be from the foreign aid the U.S. is now giving them? Is the U.S. financing the demise of Iraq to these proxy Iranian militia (troops) stationed in Iraq? Didn’t the Trump administration outwardly appose the bill in parliament to fund these salaries of these militias. Weren’t we told in the news that this bill did not get passed? Folks I don’t forget what we are told. So how did they find a way to pay them? Many of my readers may be getting sick and tired of hearing about these Iranian factions inside Iraq. You should be sick and tired of them and so am I. But that is reality and so connected to the time of our awaiting reinstatement of the dinar back to FOREX. Folks, its all connected. Remember it was an item of five items on the list my CBI contact referenced to me and I talked about in my 9/16/25 Newsletter. Let’s stay on target of where we are in this RV saga.

________________________________________

In the article titled “THE IRAQI PARLIAMENT’S LEGISLATIVE SESSION HAS BEEN EXTENDED FOR AN ADDITIONAL MONTH (UPDATE).” We learn that the current session of parliament is being extended for another month but why. Is it to ensure they have an opens session to get the new prime minister and deputy voted in?

MP Ibtisam Al-Hilali, from the State of Law bloc, revealed on Thursday that there is an agreement between the Speaker of Parliament and the heads of political blocs to extend the current legislative session for an additional month.

________________________________________

😊 So, who is the most likely candidate to get the nomination for prime minister? Let’s take a peek at the article titled “EXPECTED DECISION TODAY: AL-SUDANI IS THE MOST LIKELY CANDIDATE FOR PRIME MINISTER AFTER THE CHANCES OF AL-MALIKI’S CANDIDATE DIMINISHED.”  All eyes are on Saturday for a crucial meeting of the Coordination Framework forces, which is expected to end the debate over the name of the next prime minister, after postponing the decision that was scheduled for Friday, amid rapid developments in the positions of the political forces. Well, as we all know Friday’s meeting was undecided. It is now even Monday and still no candidate announced. How many times have we read already about al-Sudani being the most likely candidate. So, here it is again. Just get’ re done…. Like I told my readers over 5 months ago that al-Sudani will get a second term and so we will look back again over these wasted 5 months and wonder again what is holding up the reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar. Go figure what is holding it up. ☹

Well-informed political sources confirmed that the balance of power within the framework has clearly shifted in favor of the current Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, after the leader of the State of Law Coalition, Nouri al-Maliki, realized the difficulty of passing his alternative candidate in light of the decline in political support for him. According to the sources, the ball is back in Sudani’s court, who has become the most likely candidate to receive the official mandate to form the new government, in light of growing consensus within the Shiite forces.

________________________________________

Then late Monday night out pops this article titled “AN ADVISOR TO THE OUTGOING PRIME MINISTER, SAID THAT AL-ZAIDI MET WITH THE US CHARGÉ D’AFFAIRES IN BAGHDAD, JOSHUA HARRIS”. Abdul Amir Taiban denies the existence of an American veto on Ali al-Zaidi, who is tasked with forming the next government, and confirms that all leaders of the framework support this assignment. Al-Zaidi at the US embassy hours after the framework was nominated and approved. I quote from the article – “Many in parliament say that the Coordination Framework are just buying time and that their new candidate will not get elected (ratified) in Parliament to form the next government.” Remember this is the next step. Is this really true? What makes them think this? Please go read the entire article it will help you understand this situation. Remember that they are now way past the constitutional deadline and the Supreme Court has every right to take over and rule on this situation again. I quote from the article – “To understand why Ali al-Zaidi’s nomination is likely a hollow gesture that will not lead to the formation of a government one must look back to the chaotic spring of 2020. The parallels are not just striking; they are identical.”

Of course this is all just Taiban’s opinion. Let’s see if this pans out to be true. Anything is possible. However, because we find out later that al-Zaidi does have Washington’s support he may work out.

________________________________________

😊Then we know from this article that Al-Zaidi has met with the US delegation recently. It appears that the US does support him unlike al-Maliki. The title of the article is “AN ADVISOR TO THE OUTGOING PRIME MINISTER, SAID THAT AL-ZAIDI MET WITH THE US CHARGÉ D’AFFAIRES IN BAGHDAD, JOSHUA HARRIS”. Abdul Amir Taiban denies the existence of an American veto on Ali al-Zaidi, who is tasked with forming the next government, and confirms that all leaders of the framework support this assignment. 

Al-Zaidi at the US embassy hours after the framework was nominated and approved – Taiban.

A day after Ali al-Zaidi was tasked with forming Iraq’s ninth government, Abdul Amir Taiban, an advisor to the outgoing prime minister, said that al-Zaidi met with the US chargé d’affaires in Baghdad, Joshua Harris, considering this meeting a “green card” and an American approval and blessing of his appointment, contrary to the voices that say there is an American “veto” on his appointment.

________________________________________

😊 In the following article we learn a bit about al-Zaidi from al-Sudani. It is titled “ABDUL-AMIR AL-TAIBAN, AN ADVISOR TO THE OUTGOING PRIME MINISTER, DESCRIBED THE PRIME MINISTER-DESIGNATE, ALI AL-ZAIDI, AS A “BREAD MAN” Ali Al-Zaidi is an economist far removed from corruption, terrorism, and security issues, who serves citizens by providing food baskets on credit.  Al-Zaydi has no terrorism charges, no files, and no problems. He is an economist and is busy with his work. “There must be bread for the Iraqis, he is the bread man.” The citizen is provided with a food basket on credit and has 2 billion dinars due to him, so give it to him.  

_____________________________________

Let’s keep our prayers going. I believe we are closer than ever for the dinar to get reinstated. But first things first. By now everyone should be fully aware of these events that caused delays in the currency reform process. This is not rocket science to understand.

Again, please remember that I spend a lot of time putting together these Newsletters for you not me. I already know this stuff. This is for you! I am trying to give you HOPE that this investment is real and is going to happen. Please consider helping out and show me you care for all that I do for you. 😊

What do you think will happen next? (Leave a comment)

Their words not mine…..No Rumors, No Hype, No Opinions ,,,,,

                                             Just the FACTS!

                                         

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.

Prophetic Words from the prophets:  Julie Green

Go to the 00:01 mark for more of the prophecies already fulfilled. Today is a dive into these prophecies with a new one given for today that follows below.

“There Are Betrayers In The Whitehouse “

Go to the 22:06 mark to watch the prophecy. From April 19, 2026

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.  

TRUMP’S NEW FED CHAIR IS IN. THE OLD RULES ARE GONE. THIS IS WHAT
CAN HAPPEN

The proposed new Fed chair Kevin Warsh has a plan to pay off the $30 trillion dollars plus national debt. He will replace Jerome Powell who’s term expires on May 15^th.

How does this all fit into prophecy?

PROPHETIC WORDS ABOUT PAYING OFF THE ENTIRE NATIONAL DEBT OF TRILLIONS (the giant of debt)

Oh folks, this one goes very deep! I wanted to bring this prophecy today because perhaps we are about to witness this prophecy of freedom from debt being fulfilled. I am talking about both personal debt and the national U.S. debt.

This next changeover in May of the Fed chairman is just the beginning (see the video above). The prophecy says a young man with an amazing plan will do it. Is Kevin Warsh that young man spoken of? These are exciting times as we watch what happens next. Surely, we all can see now that this is the time for many of these decade-long Kim Clement prophecies about debt to be fulfilled. Yes, we are finally going to experience many of these marvels. Yes, we will see it in our lifetime. God’s hand is working today.

But let’s now get hung-up on just one item in the plan of getting to ‘debt free’. For God also tells us it is our choice to be debt free. Many have just ignored these prophecies and think they are foolish. They have very little faith. Do they even believe God is real?

I believe when the time comes God is going to use many of these items the prophets have been talking about for the last decade i.e. gold, silver, currencies, energy sources, etc. to be used as instruments to bring about this wealth transfer. We as individuals and politicians must be positioned and thus poised to take advantage of them when the time comes.

There will be no shiny chariots drawn by angels full of gold coming from heaven to us. Get it? This is not what God intends. We must believe and thus we must act. This is how it is going to work. God also has sent his word through his prophets to tell us so we can be in a position ourselves when the time comes. The time is here and the harvest is coming shortly and we can see it now all around us if we only pay attention.

I keep hearing through the prophets about on or around the 4^th of July and the 250^th anniversary of the U.S. I firmly believe this timeframe is very significant. I can not tell you with certainty what will happen other then I believe God has chosen this timeframe for a reason. The year 2026 we are being told is a time of ‘positioning’. Did you hear me I said ‘positioning’. This means getting ready for the harvest but you can’t harvest if you don’t plant. Enough said….

FOLKS, THEY ARE PUTTING IT RIGHT IN OUR FACES! BUT CAN YOU SEE IT?

Are you awake enough to see it? This is so obvious with even them putting this on the label on the bottle one has to say, is this even real…. well it is. Why is she still even in Congress? Why are both husband and wife not in prison? Enough is enough, is enough already….

WHAT PLANET DOES OBAMA LIVE ON?

Barack Obama’s ‘disgusting’ response to White House dinner shooting.

‘NOBODY’S BUYING IT’

This DOESN’T make sense.  The wheels of justice have to move a bit faster….don’t you think? This is beyond bizarre lies already to ridiculousness.

DOES THIS SEEM WEIRD TO YOU..EVEN JUST A LITTLE?

US TIGHTENS IRAN BLOCKADE

The blockage “nothing in” – “nothing out” policy, can it finally break Iran?

DO THEY THINK WE ARE STUPID? MAYBE WE ARE!

WHAT THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO HEAR ABOUT HAMAS & RADICAL ISLAM.

They are hiding the TRUTH from Americans on what the real cause of the Iranian war is all about. The nuclear stuff is just a weapon they pose to use to kill us. They are afraid that if they did tell the entire TRUTH it would gain too much popular support for the US and Israeli efforts to deal with Islam inside America, in the Middle East and the rest of the world. Yes, the rest of the world, especially Europe is also in denial and they too are already paying the price for ignorance and nonaction.

There are too many similarities to WW2, the Nazi movement and the refusal to believe that this is really happening.

LET’S CONTINUE ABOUT THE ISLAMIC THREAT.

How the hatred for the Christians and Jew evolved. It is time for the members of the Islamic cult (not religion) to realize they have been lied to.

HOW FAR SHOULD A COUNTRY GO TO SACRIFICE ITS NATIONAL IDENTITY AND VALUES JUST TO SATISFY A RELIGIOUS WHEN ITS CULT-LIKE ACTIVITIES CLASH?

Are you listening America?

Don’t be fooled by pressures for freedom of religion as it applies to radical Muslims.

Don’t be fooled that this is just a clash of cultures, it is much, much more that that.

Rather this is clash of ideology being used by the socialist communists to gain control over all developed countries. They are just using the Islamic movement to do it, only Islam is too dumb to see it and thinks they will be in control later. Hey… didn’t the globalists try this same ideology with Adolf Hitler only to be met with resistance by the free world once declared he was going to be the ‘supreme leader’ and not let the globalist have the spoils of war.

Nothing new to report today. Please see the blog section on the other great news on this subject matter here LINK.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC AFFIRMS TO THE GOVERNOR OF THE CENTRAL BANK THE NECESSITY OF STRENGTHENING THE IRAQI DINAR.

President Nizar Amidi emphasized to the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Al-Alaq, on Saturday (April 25, 2026), the necessity of strengthening the Iraqi dinar and continuing reforms.

A statement from the Presidency, received by Baghdad Today, indicated that “President Nizar Amidi received the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Al-Alaq, who offered his congratulations on assuming the presidency.”

The President expressed his “gratitude and appreciation for the kind congratulations,” stressing “the importance of cooperation between monetary and financial institutions in supporting economic stability and achieving sustainable development.”

The President emphasized “the necessity of strengthening the Iraqi dinar and continuing reforms,” ​​noting that “the Presidency supports the bank’s monetary policies that contribute to improving the standard of living for citizens and stimulating growth in the country.”

MP: REPEATEDLY POSTPONING MEETINGS TO DECIDE ON THE PRIME MINISTERSHIP COULD OPEN A DOOR FOR FOREIGN INTERFERENCE

MP Mukhtar al-Youssef, from the Badr parliamentary bloc, warned on Tuesday against the repeated postponement of meetings of the Coordination Framework regarding the selection of the largest bloc’s candidate for the position of the next prime minister. He called on the framework’s leaders to resolve the issue next Wednesday, as further delays could open the door to foreign interference.

Al-Youssef told the Information Agency that “the leaders of the Coordination Framework are obligated to their constituents and the Iraqi public to resolve this issue in next Wednesday’s meeting,” warning that “continued postponement will have undesirable repercussions on the political landscape.”

He added that “failure to resolve the prime minister issue as quickly as possible could open the door to foreign interference in national affairs, which is completely unacceptable.”

It is worth noting that the leaders of the Coordination Framework held a meeting Monday evening without reaching an agreement on the largest bloc’s candidate for the next prime minister, and the meeting was postponed until Wednesday.

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

WHAT WILL HE CHOOSE? THE SUDANESE GOVERNMENT FACES WASHINGTON’S DEMANDS TO CUT THE SALARIES OF THE POPULAR MOBILIZATION FORCES AND TARGET THE FACTIONS.

The head of the Reconstruction and Development bloc, Bahaa al-Araji, revealed that there is a division within the coordination framework regarding the mechanism for choosing the next prime minister, between the “signatures” system adopted by the State of Law bloc and “direct voting,” stressing that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani is facing harsh American conditions, including cutting the salaries of the Popular Mobilization Forces and striking some factions .

Al-Araji said in a televised interview followed by Al-Sa’a Network that “Monday’s framework session resulted in the submission of 6 signatures from the State of Law coalition in favor of Basim Al-Badri, while Hadi Al-Amiri proposed the option of direct voting instead of signatures to choose the Prime Minister, and after his intervention the discussion moved to the selection mechanism .”

He added that “the proposed new mechanism is based on the candidate obtaining two-thirds of the votes of the leaders of the framework, and in the second stage two-thirds of the members of the House of Representatives from the framework. It was proposed by Al-Amiri, Al-Hakim and Al-Khazali, but it was rejected by the State of Law, and the discussion about it was postponed to the next session .”

He added that “the upcoming coordination framework meeting will not discuss the selection of the prime minister unless the selection mechanism is decided, with the direct voting option being the most likely to be fair .”

He pointed out that “Al-Asadi did not sign, despite being part of the Reconstruction and Development bloc, and expressed conditional approval related to the signing of other leaders in favor of Bassem Al-Badri, while the bloc did not adopt the mechanism of signatures at all and preferred to vote by raising hands as usual .”

He stressed that “choosing the prime minister is not the most important thing at the moment, but rather the unity of the coordinating framework, especially in light of international discussions related to the Iraqi political system .”

He added that “Al-Sudani prepared his government program before the elections, and it included restricting weapons to the state, and he rejects dealing with the issue with violence and prefers political and legal solutions .”

He explained that “the United States had put forward two main demands during the past period, which were to cut off the salaries of the Popular Mobilization Forces and to strike some factions, which Al-Sudani rejected .”

He explained that “the current stage includes American conditions, which does not mean accepting them, but it requires dealing with them under complex circumstances,” noting that “some strikes that targeted diplomatic interests contributed to strained relations and the departure of a number of missions .”

Al-Araji pointed out that “about 90% of diplomatic missions have left Iraq, especially the Arab ones, as a result of attacks targeting some countries, which has negatively affected the political and economic reality, including the delay in the flow of dollars into the country

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

A BILLION DOLLARS TO PREVENT MALIKI… FINANCIAL INTERVENTIONS SHAKE THE SELECTION OF THE PRIME MINISTER

The spokesman for the Sayyid al-Shuhada Brigades, Kazem al-Fartousi, stated on Thursday that one billion dollars was paid to prevent the Coordination Framework from proceeding with the nomination of Nouri al-Maliki for the premiership, calling on the leaders of the Framework and the country to free themselves from American control, and indicating that American control over the flow of dollars to Iraq is not subject to the reaction of the armed factions, but rather to the rejection of its policies in the country.

Al-Fartousi denied, in a televised interview followed by Al-Sa’a Network: “targeting Saudi facilities or infrastructure from inside Iraq,” stressing that “the target was the American military bases, in addition to responding to the sources of fire .”

He added that “20% of the strikes that targeted Iraq were directed towards the factions, while the remaining percentage targeted other targets,

 such as the Popular Mobilization Forces, the tribal forces, and some areas in Kirkuk .”

He continued, saying: “You have not freed yourselves from American restrictions, and you say that the dollar stopped because of us, but the truth is that the dollar stopped as a result of the American dictates imposed on Iraq.”

He added, “Whoever speaks of an independent state and rejects any infringement on its sovereignty by the factions must enforce this sovereignty and prevent attacks, and not turn the state into a ‘gas station’ where American planes land even on rooftops, and free up his money and engage in real commercial transactions, and then he can hold us accountable even for a Kalashnikov bullet .”

He denied “the existence of coordination between the Iraqi factions and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard during the ongoing war in the region,” stressing that “the factions know their duties and objectives, and have accuracy in identifying information, and that coordination was only in principle, and does not exist at the military level .”

Al-Fartousi stressed “the need to respect the Iraqi constitution, which guarantees the right to vote and run for office,” saying: “We have won seats and we have the right to participate in the government .”

He asked: “Do you want to abolish the Constitution because Trump doesn’t like it? Do you want to suspend it because he refuses to allow factions to participate in the government? This is a question that politicians must answer .”

He pointed out that “armed factions existed before the constitution, and he could have stipulated their prohibition if he had wanted to .”

He explained that “what is being circulated about American messages is sometimes used to eliminate opponents within the political process and to monopolize positions, as some parties try to use the American position as a pretext to exclude other parties from participating in the government .”

He added that “one billion dollars was paid to prevent the Coordination Framework from proceeding with the nomination of Maliki for the premiership,” while he declined to confirm or deny the party to which this amount was paid .

A PARLIAMENTARY MESSAGE TO THE FRAMEWORK: NO DEADLINE AFTER SATURDAY, WE WILL CHOOSE THE PRIME MINISTER.

Mahmoud al-Shammari, a member of the Services Bloc in the Iraqi Parliament, revealed on Thursday evening that members of Parliament intend to collect signatures and send an official letter to the President of the Republic to nominate a suitable person for the position of Prime Minister, in the event that the Coordination Framework does not reach an agreement on choosing a candidate by next Saturday.

Al-Shammari told Shafaq News Agency that “if the coordination framework does not reach an agreement to choose a candidate for the position of Prime Minister within the constitutionally specified period, then the members of the House of Representatives will have a different opinion on the matter.”

He added: “We are waiting for the leadership of the framework until next Saturday, and if they do not reach an agreement to choose the appropriate candidate for the position of Prime Minister, then the members of Parliament will collect signatures and send an official letter to the President of the Republic to nominate the appropriate person and get out of the political deadlock.”

The MP stressed that “the House of Representatives is capable of nominating the person as it is the legislative authority in the country and the highest authority in the Iraqi state,” noting that “the continuation of the situation as it is and the continuation of the caretaker government and 10 vacant ministries without a minister pushes us to intervene in the matter of choosing the candidate for the next government.”

A member of the coordination framework, Amer Al-Fayez, told Shafaq News Agency on Thursday that the ongoing meetings had led to important understandings to resolve the disputes, suggesting that the nomination of a candidate for the premiership would be decided within the next few hours.

With Iraq entering the post-election phase of President Nizar Amidi, attention is turning to the most important entitlement, which is the formation of the new government, amidst heated political debate within the coordination framework regarding the prime minister candidate.

The coordinating framework had set a date for a crucial meeting last Saturday, before postponing it to Monday, with the aim of deciding on a candidate for the premiership. However, the meeting ended without reaching a final agreement, so it was postponed to Wednesday, before being postponed again to Friday.

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

THE IRAQI PARLIAMENT’S LEGISLATIVE SESSION HAS BEEN EXTENDED FOR AN ADDITIONAL MONTH (UPDATE).

MP Ibtisam Al-Hilali, from the State of Law bloc, revealed on Thursday that there is an agreement between the Speaker of Parliament and the heads of political blocs to extend the current legislative session for an additional month.

Al-Hilali told Shafaq News Agency that “there is an agreement between the Speaker of Parliament and the heads of the political blocs to extend the current legislative session for another month, after the first legislative session was scheduled to end during these days, and to continue until the end of next month.”

She added that “the decision to extend comes in order to form the next government, which will follow the appointment of the candidate of the Coordination Framework, and in accordance with Article 76 of the Constitution, which stipulates that the person tasked with forming the government shall present his ministerial formation to the House of Representatives within a period of 30 days.”

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

EXPECTED DECISION TODAY: AL-SUDANI IS THE MOST LIKELY CANDIDATE FOR PRIME MINISTER AFTER THE CHANCES OF AL-MALIKI’S CANDIDATE DIMINISHED.

All eyes are on Saturday for a crucial meeting of the Coordination Framework forces, which is expected to end the debate over the name of the next prime minister, after postponing the decision that was scheduled for Friday, amid rapid developments in the positions of the political forces.

Well-informed political sources confirmed that the balance of power within the framework has clearly shifted in favor of the current Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, after the leader of the State of Law Coalition, Nouri al-Maliki, realized the difficulty of passing his alternative candidate in light of the decline in political support for him.

According to the sources, the ball is back in Sudani’s court, who has become the most likely candidate to receive the official mandate to form the new government, in light of growing consensus within the Shiite forces.

The information indicated that Maliki showed some flexibility in his position during the last few hours, with indications that he would move towards supporting the consensus of the framework forces on assigning Al-Sudani, in order to avoid further political division.

Today’s meeting is expected to produce a decisive announcement regarding the appointment of the prime minister, in a move that could pave the way for a new political phase characterized by consensus and an attempt to contain the disputes within the Shiite political establishment.

WHY DOES IRAQ FAIL TO ACHIEVE SELF-SUFFICIENCY DESPITE ITS RESOURCES?

Shafaq News – Baghdad
Iraq continues to rely heavily on imports to secure its needs for basic and consumer goods, at a time when local production faces accumulating challenges that limit its ability to compete, despite the availability of natural and human resources.

(Mnt Goat: We can clearly see opportunities are wide spread in Iraq for investors to come and work with them to develop these resources. But will they come under a climate of instability with Iranian influences abound in the government? But president Trump has a plan to turn this around but he first needs SECURITY and STABIITY.)

This comes in conjunction with what was revealed in a recent study published by the Nature Food Council, which showed that Iraq is among the countries unable to achieve food self-sufficiency, reflecting the depth of the gap between available potential and production reality.

The Iraqi market relies on importing a wide range of goods, primarily food and agricultural products, along with electrical appliances and construction materials, which makes the economy vulnerable to external fluctuations, whether in commodity prices or global supply chains.

Local products also face additional challenges related to weak customs protection and the existence of informal outlets through which goods enter without sufficient control, which increases pressure on the local product and reduces its growth opportunities within the market.

Over-reliance threatens the economy

Economic expert Mohammed Al-Hassani told Shafaq News Agency that “Iraq’s dependence on imports remains very high, as estimates indicate that total imports of goods and services exceed $100 billion annually, of which about $80 to $90 billion are for goods alone.”

He added that “this great dependence on the outside world has made the Iraqi economy one of the most affected by geopolitical crises, especially in light of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which is a major passage for trade and energy.”

Al-Hassani explained that “Iraq has begun to face direct repercussions as a result of this closure, represented by the increase in shipping and insurance costs, the delay in the arrival of some goods, as well as the increase in the prices of a number of goods in the local market.”

He pointed out that “excessive reliance on imports puts the country in a vulnerable position to any external shock, as global crises are quickly reflected internally, whether through price increases or shortages of some materials,” adding that “what is happening now highlights the urgent need to reduce reliance on imports by supporting local production, especially since the crises have revealed the limited ability of the market to withstand without imports.”

Reports indicate that Iraq’s import volume is very high, estimated at more than $100 billion annually, of which $80–90 billion is for goods.

Imports cover more than 50% of Iraq’s food needs, with almost complete dependence (70–100%) on foreign sources for basic commodities such as vegetable oils, sugar and rice, making the local market directly linked to global markets and their fluctuations.

The laws are ineffective.

Meanwhile, economist Hilal Al-Taan, speaking to Shafaq News Agency, said that Iraq does indeed have a legislative system aimed at protecting local products, but its implementation is still weak and insufficient, which limits its ability to have a real impact on the market.

The expert continued, saying that “the laws of product protection, consumer protection, competition and prevention of monopoly grant the concerned authorities the powers to impose duties on imported goods, prevent dumping, and provide support to the industrial and agricultural sectors,” indicating that “these laws, despite their importance, have not been activated as required, which has kept the Iraqi market largely open to imports since 2003.”

According to Al-Ta’an, “weak customs control at times, along with high local production costs and a lack of government support for the agricultural and industrial sectors, have all contributed to weakening the competitiveness of the national product.” He explained that the entry of cheap goods into Iraq is due to the weak application of customs tariffs, as well as the existence of cases of evasion through reducing the real values ​​of imported goods, which allows the entry of low-priced products from neighboring countries.

IRAQ PM NOMINATION RULES: LEGAL EXPERT BREAKS DOWN ARTICLE 76

Mohammed Jangadost

26/04/2026

The Freedom Monument (Nasb al-Hurriyah) located in Tahrir Square in Baghdad, Iraq.

A legal expert has outlined how Article 76 of Iraq’s 2005 Constitution governs the nomination of a prime minister and provides a framework to prevent a constitutional vacuum during political deadlock.

Article 76 and the Nomination Process

Ali al-Tamimi said Article 76 is the cornerstone of the mechanism for forming the government, requiring the president to task the nominee of the largest parliamentary bloc with forming the Council of Ministers within 15 days of the president’s election.

He described the provision as a “clear constitutional roadmap” designed to ensure continuity of executive authority.

How the 15-Day Deadline Is Calculated

Al-Tamimi noted that the Federal Supreme Court of Iraq, in Decision No. 76 of 2009, established that public holidays are not counted within the 15-day period under Civil Procedure Law No. 83 of 1969.
However, if the final day of the deadline falls on a public holiday, the period is extended to the next working day, according to judicial interpretation.

What Happens if No Candidate Is Presented

Article 76 does not explicitly address a scenario in which the largest bloc fails to nominate a candidate. In such cases, Al-Tamimi said the president’s constitutional role under Article 67 becomes central.

He explained that the president may refer the matter to the Federal Supreme Court for interpretation, in line with Article 7 of the court’s internal regulations, which allow formal requests for constitutional clarification.

Binding Authority of the Court

Under Article 94 of the Constitution, rulings by the Federal Supreme Court are final and binding on all authorities.

Al-Tamimi said this ensures that the court’s interpretation becomes the decisive mechanism for resolving disputes and preventing political maneuvering that could lead to a constitutional vacuum.

Ensuring Stability Through Deadlines

The expert stressed that constitutional timelines are essential safeguards for Iraq’s political stability.
“The constitution provides not only deadlines but also a clear path for resolving disputes,” he said, adding that recourse to the court offers a definitive solution in cases of uncertainty.

THE FORMATION OF THE GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL AFTER EID AL-ADHA, AND THE FRAMEWORK REMAINS IN AN OPEN-ENDED IMPASSE.

The Independent – The selection of a prime minister candidate within the coordination framework has entered a more complicated phase, after the postponement of the meeting that was scheduled for Sunday evening, amid expectations that the decision will be postponed until after Eid al-Adha, as a number of deputies and leaders of the framework head to perform the Hajj rituals, and sharp disagreements continue regarding the proposed names and the mechanism for reaching a consensus candidate.

MALIKI AND SUDANI AGREE TO PASS ALI AL-ZAIDI AS A COMPROMISE CANDIDATE

Political sources revealed on Monday that Nouri al-Maliki, head of the State of Law Coalition, and Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, agreed to nominate Ali al-Zidi as a compromise candidate for the premiership.

The sources said that “Al-Zaydi enjoys extensive relations with all the leaders of the coordination framework, in addition to his relationship with the private office of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr.”

She added that “Al-Zaydi may face difficulties in forming the government and getting it passed in parliament after he is appointed.”

She indicated that “Al-Zidi’s nomination came after the head of the Popular Mobilization Forces, Faleh Al-Fayyad, hosted two meetings during the past 24 hours with Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani and the head of the State of Law Coalition, Nouri Al-Maliki, for the purpose of deciding on the position,” explaining that “the first meeting was held yesterday, and the second was held this afternoon, during which a final agreement was reached on naming the candidate for the position of Prime Minister.”

The coordinating framework officially nominates Ali al-Zaidi for the position of Prime Minister.

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

AL-ZAIDI: WE WILL FORM A GOVERNMENT THAT RESPONDS TO THE CITIZENS’ DEMANDS FOR ESTABLISHING SECURITY AND STABILITY.

Prime Minister-designate Ali al-Zidi affirmed on Monday (April 27, 2026) his intention to work with all political forces to form a new government that responds to the demands of citizens and contributes to consolidating security and stability and achieving comprehensive development in the country.

Al-Zaydi said in his first statement after being appointed, as reported by Baghdad Today, that “we are determined to work with various political forces to form a government capable of meeting the aspirations of Iraqis,” stressing the importance of national cooperation to overcome current challenges.

Al-Zaydi’s statement comes after he was officially tasked by the President of the Republic with forming the new government, following his nomination by the largest parliamentary bloc within the House of Representatives.

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

WHY ALI AL-ZAIDI WAS CHOSEN TO FAIL

THE NOMINATION OF ALI AL-ZAIDI IS A MASTER-CLASS IN POLITICAL THEATRE. IT IS A FAKE SOLUTION TO A REAL CRISIS.

In the labyrinthine world of Iraqi politics, history doesn’t just repeat itself—it is weaponised. On April 27, 2026, when President Nizar Amidi tasked businessman Ali al-Zaidi with forming a government, a collective sense of déjà vu swept across Baghdad.

To the international community, it looked like a breakthrough after months of deadlock. To the Iraqi people, it looked like the revival of a tired, cynical script: the “Burnt Card” protocol. The script was familiar. The names had changed. The outcome had not.

What Iraq has perfected over the past two decades is not coalition-building, but delay engineering. The nomination of expendable candidates—what insiders quietly describe as “burnt cards”—is not a malfunction of the system. It is the system. These figures are not selected to govern. They are deployed to absorb pressure, exhaust constitutional timelines, and preserve the fragile equilibrium of competing factions.

To understand why Ali al-Zaidi’s nomination is likely a hollow gesture that will not lead to the formation of a government one must look back to the chaotic spring of 2020. The parallels are not just striking; they are identical.

By examining the failures of Mohammed Tawfiq Allawi and Adnan al-Zurfi, we can see that Zaidi is not being set up to lead Iraq—he is being set up to fail, buying the ruling elite the one currency they value most: time.

While Iraq’s political elite may be trying to buy time, it risks buying something far more dangerous for the Iraqi people: instability. This is a particularly dangerous moment to test Washington’s red lines—especially under a Trump administration that has intensified a US Treasury-led “Economic Fury” campaign, effectively turning sanctions enforcement into a parallel theatre of economic war against Iran and its networks. Washington has made clear that a central objective of its current policy is to disrupt Iran’s grip on Iraq—particularly the militia and financial networks that underpin it.

Earlier this month, under the US Rewards for Justice program, the US Embassy in Baghdad issued a reward notice of up to $10 million targeting Ahmed al-Hamidawi of Kataib Hezbollah. In recent days, this was followed by additional reward notices—also of up to $10 million each—targeting figures such as Abu Ala al-Wala’i (Hashim Finyan Rahim al-Saraji of Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada) and Haydar al-Gharawi (Haydar Muzhir Ma’lak al-Sa’idi of Harakat Ansar Allah al-Awfiya), underscoring that these networks are not abstract, but actively being identified and targeted in real time.

Against this backdrop, the signals from Washington are becoming increasingly explicit.

A senior advisor to President Trump familiar with the matter was unequivocal: “If this Ali al-Zaidi nomination leads to the formation of a government, the United States will sanction the Iraqi government and suspend cooperation—just as we warned we would if Nouri al-Maliki were brought back to power.”

This is not the first time Iraq’s political class has navigated external pressure through controlled failure.

AN ADVISOR TO THE OUTGOING PRIME MINISTER, SAID THAT AL-ZAIDI MET WITH THE US CHARGÉ D’AFFAIRES IN BAGHDAD, JOSHUA HARRIS

Abdul Amir Taiban denies the existence of an American veto on Ali al-Zaidi, who is tasked with forming the next government, and confirms that all leaders of the framework support this assignment. 

Al-Zaidi at the US embassy hours after the framework was nominated and approved – Taiban.

A day after Ali al-Zaidi was tasked with forming Iraq’s ninth government, Abdul Amir Taiban, an advisor to the outgoing prime minister, said that al-Zaidi met with the US chargé d’affaires in Baghdad, Joshua Harris, considering this meeting a “green card” and an American approval and blessing of his appointment, contrary to the voices that say there is an American “veto” on his appointment.

In an interview with journalist Laith Al-Jazaeri, which was followed by 964, Taiban reveals a “unique situation” that the framework was not accustomed to, after it unanimously agreed to nominate Al-Zaidi, a situation that the framework had lacked throughout the past five months. He explained that the absence of Humaam Hamoudi and Amar  Al-Hakim  from the picture during Al-Zaidi’s assignment does not mean that they do not support his assignment, revealing absolute support for Al-Zaidi’s assignment.

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

ABDUL-AMIR AL-TAIBAN, AN ADVISOR TO THE OUTGOING PRIME MINISTER, DESCRIBED THE PRIME MINISTER-DESIGNATE, ALI AL-ZAIDI, AS A “BREAD MAN,”

Ali Al-Zaidi is an economist far removed from corruption, terrorism, and security issues, who serves citizens by providing food baskets on credit. Al-Taiban revealed that al-Zaidi is owed 2 billion dinars by the government for the past two years, but confirmed that he will not pursue this debt after assuming the premiership. Al-Taiban’s statements during an interview with journalist Amal Ali, which was :964 Networkfollowed by Al-Sudani’s advisor on the new prime minister: “He’s a breadwinner” and is preparing a basket for the Iraqis.

Abdul-Amir al-Taiban, an advisor to the outgoing prime minister, described the prime minister-designate, Ali al-Zaidi, as a “bread man,” an economist far removed from corruption, terrorism, and security issues, who serves citizens by providing food baskets on credit. Al-Taiban revealed that al-Zaidi is owed 2 billion dinars by the government for the past two years, but confirmed that he will not pursue this debt after assuming the premiership.

Al-Zaydi has no terrorism charges, no files, and no problems. He is an economist and is busy with his work. “There must be bread for the Iraqis, he is the bread man.” The citizen is provided with a food basket on credit and has 2 billion dinars due to him, so give it to him. This amount has been frozen for two years. There is a difference between someone who asks for something and someone who wants to plunder. They should give him his “money” first, and then he can plunder later if he wants. I promise that he will not say, “Give me my money,” and if he asks, I will talk to him and he will definitely drop it.
