April 2, 2026 Mnt Goat News Brief

Guten Tag everyone:

The RV saga continues with the election cycle. We still see some reluctance from the Coordination Framework to still deny Al-Sudani of a second term. Can his coalition work around this and get enough support? We must keep asking WHY don;t they easily accept al-Sudani? Heck… all the news we have been reading says he was very successful in supporting all the reforms, the Customs and Tariffs implementation and his pet projects were the port of Faw and the Development Road. Iraq seemly progressed to a new level of prosperity in just his time in office. Oh… but could it be he promised the U.S. he would deal with the Iranian militia inside Iraq? Could it be he progressed Iraq and not help the corruption steady money flows to Iran? Could this be what doomed his next term? Of course, we all know the Coordination Framework is working for the Iranian proxy government and not the people of Iraq. We especially see this because Al-Sudani did win the popular vote from the Nov 2025 election.

STATUS OF THE RV

I want to say I wish everyone is having a prayerful Holy Week and Passover. And then a nice Easter Sunday or what some call “Resurrection Sunday”, which is it.  

The news today evolved around two main articles. Let’s take a peak at the first one titled “POWERFUL FORCES ARE SEARCHING FOR ALTERNATIVES TO MALIKI, AND THE SUDANESE ALLIANCE IS PROPOSING TWO OPTIONS FOR THE PREMIERSHIP”. Some of the active forces within the Coordination Framework are still looking for a candidate to replace Nouri al-Maliki for the position of the next government. While the Framework confirmed its rejection of renewing the mandate of the outgoing Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, from the Reconstruction and Development Alliance. Currently these are the top two contenders. Will a third contender be exposed? What is this third contender like?

The source told Shafaq News Agency that “some of the active forces within the framework are studying a group of names of candidates for the premiership due to the lack of agreement among the framework’s components on a specific candidate after the American veto on the leader of the State of Law Coalition, Nouri al-Maliki. He pointed out that in “the coming days we will witness intensive activity and continuous meetings to agree on a specific figure acceptable to everyone after vetting the names that will be put forward by some of the influential forces.”

According to the information, “if” (remember this is an “if”) it becomes impossible to pass Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani for a second term, the Reconstruction and Development bloc, which is led by the current Prime Minister, will likely put forward the head of the Reconstruction and Development parliamentary bloc, Bahaa Al-Araji, as an alternative to Al-Sudani, especially since he was a deputy prime minister in a previous government.” So, who is Bahaa al-Araji?

Bahaa Araji was a member of the Iraqi National Assembly until 2014. He served as Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Affairs from September 2014 to August 2015. He resigned from his deputy position among accusations of corruption. He is a spokesman for the United Iraqi Alliance. He was a member of the committee that drafted the Constitution of Iraq.

Parliament has set a non-extendable date for the session to name the President of the Republic. After the President of the Republic chooses, the latter will task the framework’s nominee for prime minister to form the government. Currently the Reconstruction and Development have no nominee other than Al-Sudani to head the government again, as he achieved success in managing the government. Yes, there are not a lot of great politicians in Iraq that can work hard to bring success to Iraq. This is another reason for the delay. There is no one other person that stands out so much. It is not even sure that Bahaa Araji is acceptable enough.

Take a peak at article titled “MP: THE SESSION TO ELECT THE PRESIDENT IS NOT YET DECIDED, AND POSTPONEMENT IS POSSIBLE”. I quote from the article “Former MP, Arif Al-Hamami, confirmed on Tuesday that the session scheduled for April 11 to elect the President of the Republic has not yet been decided, noting that setting the date came as a result of initial understandings that have not reached the stage of final confirmation”.

As the Aprill 11th date nears for the proposed session of parliament we are seeing that t his session may be postponed again due selecting an acceptable candidate for prime minister. How much longer is this going to go on? It is well over 4 months already. Is there a flaw in this election process? Can you see it too?

The second main article, thus issue in the news, is titled “PRIME MINISTER’S ADVISOR: THREE-PRONGED PLAN TO SECURE SALARIES AMID GLOBAL CHALLENGES”. The Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed on Tuesday that the current policy guarantees the continuation of salaries and social welfare grants, while identifying three main sources to ensure the sustainability of salaries and social spending.

Saleh says and I quote –“that the sustainability of monthly expenditures for salaries, wages, pensions, and social welfare allowances, in light of the current economic challenges and global fluctuations due to geopolitical risks, is a top priority, and depends on three main sources of revenue”. Remember that just years ago Iraq could not claim three sources of revenue as only one revenue stream of ‘petro-dollars” could be generated. We have read article after article on how Iraq must diversify and create other streams of revenue. Today learn of success in this area of diversification. Let’s revue these sources:  

1.“the first source is maximizing non-oil revenues, as ensuring the liquidity of collecting these revenues is achieved by intensifying approved electronic payment methods, which enhances the state’s own financial resources and reduces total dependence on oil revenues.” We have seen this with the collection of the Customs and Tariffs. The implementation of the WTO ASYCUNDA System. Remember that they told us this revenue stream if implemented correctly and collected to the national treasury could rival the oil revenues.  

2.“the second source is expanding the base of crude oil and petroleum product exports. This policy includes using traditional export channels whenever possible, including land and sea transport through neighboring countries, according to current global oil prices, which have seen an increase of nearly 70% compared to their levels before the outbreak of tensions in the Gulf and Middle East region.”  We have witnessed this move reading many news reports of expanding pipelines. We also witnessed refineries being built inside Iraq exporting by-products of oil outside Iraq. Iraq also is becoming less and less dependent on importing refined gasolene from Iran. Oh… so years ago was the US already planning strategies on how to deal with the Iranian nuclear threat and thus lessen the effect on Iraq?  

3.“the third source of revenue is to follow a pattern of targeted quantitative easing policies, with monetary and fiscal coordination, where coordination between monetary and fiscal policy is intensified, and this coordination is supported by efficient foreign exchange reserves, to ensure the stability of the national economy and the sustainability of public social spending, including the payment of salaries, pensions and social welfare allowances without any interruption.” (in other words budget appropriately and don’t go into debt)

Saleh concluded by saying: “The continuation of these integrated policies guarantees the protection of monthly job income, enhances economic and social stability in the country, and makes Iraq capable of facing global financial and economic shocks efficiently and effectively.” Why is this important to us and the RV?

Remember that this is exactly what the IMF had told Iraq needed to happen in their consultation session review – Salaries have to be paid on time and consistently! This is part of the progression towards the dinar being reinstated and had to take place. I know that due to the Iranian conflict there has been a delay getting the salaries out to Kurdistan region but they are telling us this is a temporary delay and not a financial issue and this article alone says there is plenty of funds for up to 6 months to pay salaries in times of emergencies, if needed.

UPDATE ON THE IRANIAN CONFLICT

😊 Now a change of topic and so let’s take look at the conflict with Iran. In the article titled “TRUMP: WE WILL LEAVE IRAN WITHIN WEEKS AND A NEW REGIME IS NOW IN POWER IN TEHRAN.” We learn that US President Donald Trump confirmed on Wednesday (April 1, 2026) that US forces will leave Iranian territory within a period of two to three weeks, stressing that Washington is now dealing – as he put it – with “more moderate and rational Iranian leaders.”  In an interview with ABC News, Trump said that “a complete regime change has taken place in Iran, and the current US administration is negotiating with a new, more rational group,” noting that “Iran’s departure will directly impact lower energy prices.”

___________________________________

SUMMARY:

And so this is the main news for this period to report. It seems we could see some movement for the completion of the Iraqi election in April and the US and Israel ending this military action against Iran. April and May could be interesting months to watch. We know the CBI has told us that they fully intend to move on down the road on the currency reform, but the elections and Iranian conflict is holding them back. This is not a good time of stability and with the militia (as we can see they are attacking US forces within Iraq) as there are security issues to deal with. Remember that Iraq needs a high level of STABILITY and SECURITY to reinstate.

As far as the election goes, right now the main holdup is selecting a candidate for the prime minister that they know can be accepted by all parties or at least the majority. There will be a vote in parliament to ratify the selected candidate.

What will happen to Iran in the near future? As we see the US government has told us there is not a more reasonable leaders in place. We will only see by their actions in the near future just how reasonable they really are or if they are playing the US as fools again. I surely am praying that a new regime that respects all life and freedom to its people is in place. Also, one that does not seek to build weapons of mass destruction anymore or to follow some strict Islamic ideology of controlling the world. Yes, follow our ideology or suffer the consequences.

The analogy I must make is from WWII when the German Army was moving towards the attack of France in a well-planned deception call the Fall Gelb (Case Yellow) operations. The German armored units advanced through the Ardennes, a heavily wooded land. It was thought no armor units would dare attack through these forests. However, the French arial surveillance spotted the entire armor columns, support vehicles and army troop movements as they advanced with miles and miles of equipment and supply chain. They were helpless to maneuver as they could in normal battle conditions due the dense forests. The French caught them by surprise. But there is a very sad ending….

The French aerial bombings at the time could have easily taken out the entire German army and avoided the attack had it not been for traitors. This story is not well exposed in history books because it does not want to expose the corrupt French allies. Many historians even go so far as to say it would have ended the war right then and there. However, traitors within the French military did not conduct the bombings and held back any attacks on these advancing German forces. They had these Germans, the main attack force on France, in a very vicarious situation so say the least. We know the rest of the story.

I compare this scary situation WWII to what is now happening in Iran because sometimes we don’t learn from the past and continue to make the same mistakes over and over again. Are we making a mistake now again with Iran. Are we making these mistakes simply because of the unwillingness to risk the midterm U.S. elections? After all going to war does not look good for Trump. Do they even teach accurate history anymore in schools? Are there traitors in the US and Israel military now maybe doing the same repeat of a bit of WWII history by not finishing off Iran and leaving them with too much of their weaponry or ability to come back and regroup and fight again? I know we must also learn from Iraq too and not destabilize the region with leaving Iran totally helpless either. It’s all a matter of the leadership left behind after the U.S. pulls out.

Can Iran have the capability to begin enrichment of Uranian again in the near future? What happened to the already 60% enriched Uranium? Did the U.S. or Israel capture it or did Iran move it out of Iran before the US’s first bunker buster bombs hit the underground facilities. These all questions unanswered to the general public we ought to know. Will Trump as least want the Iranians to pay for the hundreds of billions of dollars spent so far on this conflict?    

How do you think all this will end?

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

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.  

“YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHAT THEY DID BEHIND CLOSED DOORS…

IRAN ISLAMIC JIHAD: THE MODERN DAY NAZIS  

Could Senator Lindsey Graham be that far off in his analysis? The TRUTH about the Iranian buildup of nuclear weapons and why the U.S. had to do something to stop it. Remember the Islamic Jihad is an ideology that sounds so wonderful on the cover, but only if you are stupid enough to believe it.

This is a wonderful speech by Senator Lindsay Graham and everyone should take note of what he says as to why the U.S. is in Iran. This is not a game, it is serious and thank God we have a president with the guts to confront this horror.  

I was listening to this information in amazement as even I did not fully understand the severity as to why we are in Iran doing what our military is doing. Now I get it! Will you?  WOW! WOW! WOW!

THINK ABOUT THIS: Do we have to have another Pearl Harbor to wake everyone up? These ‘No King’ rallies remind me of old films of protests throughout the U.S. against the U.S. getting involved in WWII in Europe. Then what happened- Pearl Harbor? America finally woke up. The Nazis were defeated. So, do we have to have a nuclear bomb go off in NYC or some other major city to wake the people up? Seriously do we have to lose millions of lives first? Is this why they are legalizing marijuana in many states to mess with your head? These people at these rallies hate Trump so much and don’t even know why.

‘NO KINGS’ RALLIES.  REALLY?

Just another ridiculous way for the ‘Trump deranged syndrome idiots’ to expose themselves once again. Yes, another propaganda rally.

Funny how stupid these crowds of people can actually be since they didn’t learn their lessons with attending the BLM rallies and riots of the past. So even after all the exposure of the stollen BLM money that never went to help the black community, so here we go again…. more idiocy. Every one of the speakers claim to support democracy and the US constitution, however words are just words but actions speak much louder. If you look at every one of the speaker’s  records there is anything but that. Again, listen to what they do not what they say.  

Are these people at these rallies mentally retarded? A Psychotherapist analyzes anti-Trump ‘No Kings’ protests.

WHAT’S GOING ON IN GITMO? WHY SO MUCH EXPANSION?

It’s a long watch but well worth learning about. This goes hand in hand with the prophecies that tell us justice is going to be served to these corrupt officials.  

Executive order 14189 now allows military tribunals and courts to be used on civilians for cases that involve TREASON, TRAFFICIING or ESPIONAGE.

Why does God keep telling us in the past and even now that these courts will be used? Folks this is real information , not made up so-called intel. The news did not cover this and probably won’t.

Just so you know I absolutely DO NOT adhere to high-risk investments where you can lose it all in a flash. Look at it this way – you are going to have all this money from your dinar exchange. Then why blow it! Most of us investors waited decades for this RV to happen and so why would you even think about pissing is all away in some high-risk gamble of an investment. Yes, there are going to be scammers out there but let’s talk about legitimate investment opportunities only. These scammers can suck you dry and there is not a damned thing you can do about it.

Go to a legitimate wealth manager associated with your bank. Let the licensed experts advise you.

POWERFUL FORCES ARE SEARCHING FOR ALTERNATIVES TO MALIKI, AND THE SUDANESE ALLIANCE IS PROPOSING TWO OPTIONS FOR THE PREMIERSHIP.

An informed political source reported on Monday that some of the active forces within the Coordination Framework are looking for a candidate to replace Nouri al-Maliki for the position of the next government. While the Framework confirmed its rejection of renewing the mandate of the outgoing Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, the Reconstruction and Development Alliance put forward two options, with no third, for the leadership of the next government.

The source told Shafaq News Agency that “some of the active forces within the framework are studying a group of names of candidates for the premiership due to the lack of agreement among the framework’s components on a specific candidate after the American veto on the leader of the State of Law Coalition, Nouri al-Maliki, the framework’s official candidate.”

He pointed out that “there is a rejection of the idea of ​​renewing al-Sudani’s term, especially with the arrival of signals from religious leaders who also reject renewal,” indicating that “the coming days will witness intensive activity and continuous meetings to agree on a specific figure acceptable to everyone after vetting the names that will be put forward by some of the influential forces.”

The source continued: “According to the information, if it becomes impossible to pass Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani for a second term, the Reconstruction and Development bloc, which is led by the current Prime Minister, will likely put forward the head of the Reconstruction and Development parliamentary bloc, Bahaa Al-Araji, as an alternative to Al-Sudani, especially since he was a deputy prime minister in a previous government.”

In addition, the spokesman for the Reconstruction and Development parliamentary bloc, Firas Al-Muslawi, confirmed to Shafaq News Agency that “Parliament has set a non-extendable date for the session to name the President of the Republic, and there is a parliamentary agreement to vote on the Kurdish candidate for the presidency if the Kurdish forces agree on one candidate. However, if two candidates are presented for the presidency of the Republic, then the vote under the dome of Parliament is the deciding factor.”

He added that “after the President of the Republic chooses, the latter will task the framework’s nominee to form the government, and we in Reconstruction and Development have no nominee other than Al-Sudani to head the government again, as he achieved success in managing the government.”

MP: THE SESSION TO ELECT THE PRESIDENT IS NOT YET DECIDED, AND POSTPONEMENT IS POSSIBLE.

Former MP, Arif Al-Hamami, confirmed on Tuesday that the session scheduled for April 11 to elect the President of the Republic has not yet been decided, noting that setting the date came as a result of initial understandings that have not reached the stage of final confirmation.

He added that “Iraq is going through a difficult phase and multifaceted challenges, which requires a clear political decision to complete the formation of the government, starting with the election of the President of the Republic, up to the assignment of the candidate of the largest bloc, in order to proceed with managing the current crises, especially the financial and economic files.”

Al-Hamami indicated that “next week will witness a series of important meetings in Baghdad between various political forces,” noting that “these meetings may lead to outcomes that push towards greater consensus regarding the April 11th session, including the forces of the Coordination Framework, in preparation for electing the President of the Republic and tasking the candidate of the largest bloc.”

IN A MYSTERIOUS MISSION, AL-HALBOUSI DISAPPEARS FROM SIGHT AND LEAVES THE COUNTRY.

A source in Anbar province revealed on Tuesday that Mohammed al-Halbousi, head of the Progress Alliance, has disappeared from public view amid reports suggesting he has traveled abroad on a mission whose details remain unclear.

The source told Al-Maalomah News Agency that “al-Halbousi left Anbar for Jordan to meet with senior Jordanian officials, in the presence of American officials and leaders from the former Ba’ath Party. His trip is expected to include visits to Turkey and Gulf states to discuss the formation of a new government aligned with the Trump administration.”

The source added that “al-Halbousi held secret and unannounced talks with officials in the Trump administration and Gulf states before heading to Jordan, without disclosing the results,” noting that his movements were characterized by complete secrecy. The source explained that “influential figures in the central government were aware in advance of al-Halbousi’s visit to establish a long-term political partnership with the United States, the Gulf states, Turkey, and Jordan,” confirming that al-Halbousi traveled overland from Anbar via the Trebil border crossing.

This visit coincided with Israeli-American bombing of Anbar cities, which resulted in the martyrdom and injury of a number of security personnel and civilians, adding further ambiguity to the timing and purpose of the mission.

(So, let’s get the last statement correct. The Israeli-American bombing of Anbar cities was on the Iranian factions inside Iraq, posing as militia left over from ISIS. These were not Iraqi security personnel. This was done because they sent missiles into Kurdistan military bases holding American troops. This is why these militia are so dangerous to leave inside Iraq. They must be removed. After this incident I don’t know why the politicians in Iraq can’t clearly see what is happening.)

Saleh concluded by saying: “The continuation of these integrated policies guarantees the protection of monthly job income, enhances economic and social stability in the country, and makes Iraq capable of facing global financial and economic shocks efficiently and effectively.”

  3. Efforts to nominate former Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki for a third term have become more complicated following the arrival of a new “U.S. threat message” detailing potential sanctions against Iraq, if U.S. President Donald Trump’s veto of al-Maliki’s candidacy was ignored.

    According to an Iraqi government adviser who spoke to Alhurra, Washington has sent a warning message to the Coordination Framework forces specifying the sectors that would be targeted by U.S. sanctions should the bloc proceed with al-Maliki’s nomination.

    The adviser, who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter, said the U.S. side threatened sanctions against the State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO), the Central Bank of Iraq, as well as security and diplomatic sectors, in addition to political figures and former and current officials.

    Regarding economic sanctions, the adviser indicated they could include restrictions on Iraqi oil sales, limitations on the Iraqi government’s access to U.S. dollars, or sanctions on banks—measures that could lead to a near-total halt in foreign trade and severe difficulties in paying public sector salaries.

    A member of the Coordination Framework confirmed the authenticity of the message to Alhurra, adding that it was conveyed to the Shiite alliance through a senior Framework leader who recently met with the Chargé d’Affaires of the U.S. Embassy in Washington, Joshua Harris.

    The U.S. Embassy announced on Thursday that Harris had met with Abdul Hussein al-Moussawi, head of the National Path Alliance, one of the Coordination Framework’s components. During the meeting, Washington reaffirmed its readiness to use all available tools to counter Iran’s destabilizing activities, stressing that any Iraqi government must be fully independent and focused on the national interests of all Iraqis.

    Neither the U.S. State Department nor the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad responded to a request for comment sent by Alhurra via email.

    On Friday, President Trump said the United States is closely monitoring the issue of al-Maliki’s nomination for the post of prime minister in Iraq.

    Asked whether he still objected to al-Maliki’s nomination, Trump said: “We’re watching the situation regarding the prime minister. We’ll see what happens. We have some ideas about it, but in the end, everyone needs America.” Earlier this month, Trump warned that Washington would provide no assistance to Iraq if al-Maliki returned to power.

    Beyond the declared U.S. opposition, al-Maliki’s chances are also diminishing amid growing rejection of his candidacy from within the Shiite alliance itself.

    The Coordination Framework member noted that opposition within the bloc to al-Maliki’s nomination increased after receipt of the message and even reached factions within the State of Law Coalition led by al-Maliki.

    “Everyone is worried about the impact of these sanctions and is taking them seriously. No one—al-Maliki included—wants to risk the collapse of the political system if Washington carries out its threats,” he added.

    The same source said the current trend within the Coordination Framework is to wait for al-Maliki’s position on the nomination and whether he will initiate a withdrawal himself. “Otherwise, the alliance’s main forces—12 in total—are likely to meet this week and vote on selecting an alternative candidate who enjoys both domestic and international acceptance.”

    The crisis surrounding al-Maliki’s nomination has caused a political deadlock in Iraq, delaying the election of a new president.

    Under Iraq’s constitution, the elected president must task the nominee of the largest parliamentary bloc with forming a government.

    Earlier this month, the Iraqi parliament failed twice to convene a session designated to elect a new president and appoint a new prime minister, amid ongoing Kurdish disagreements related to al-Maliki’s candidacy. By convention in Iraq, the president is elected and a new prime minister is nominated in the same session.

    Iraq’s power-sharing system allocates the premiership to a Shiite, the speakership of parliament to a Sunni, and the presidency to a Kurd.

    The two main Kurdish parties in Iraq have reached an agreement to resolve the crisis over nominating a new president. A Kurdish source told Alhurra last week that Kurdish parties are waiting to see how the al-Maliki nomination crisis unfolds before officially announcing their presidential candidate.

  4. Thank you MG. Delay, Delay, Delay, the Iraqis are the supreme delayers. Is the US govt really expecting a change in the governing operation in Iraq, NOT!. The sooner Trump hits Iraq hard and stops releasing Iraqs reserves in the US FED, and reestablishes our main base in Iraq and carrying the bully stick then I believe things will change rather rapidly, for the betterment of Iraq, diplomacy time is over. These people never stop negotiating ever after the signing of any document. The fool in all of this is starting to be the US ,,, this has been going on for over a year since Trump came to govern. We wait!

  5. I think that the CBI has one last shot at the revaluation of the dinar. Going back to 2012/ 2013 when Dr. Shabibi was Governor of the CBI, was the government stable back then. The obvious answer is NO as the GOI came to raid the CBI of their coffers. Did the CBI learn lessons back then? I believe they did. With that being said, the CBI is using this “passed lesson learned” to only allow the revaluation when the GOI is stable and can govern. Also, if they elect an Iranian puppet as their PM (which won’t happen) the revaluation would not happen for some time down the road if ever. Iraq needs to be completely sovereign including the GOI for any RV to take place. This will all take place in “God’s Timing”.

  6. BREAKING NEWS FROM IRAQI TELEVISION

    Today Saturday February 21 One News TV station broke the news at 6 PM local time.

    The Coordination Framework has today received an American message – a call to disband the PMF, dissolve the factions and the Iran´s influence.

    In my opinion Maliki is definitely gone! The 12 members of the Coordination Framework have all rejected him. Now I have learned that Secreterary of State Faued Hussein has travelled to Washington to persuade president Trump to change his mind concerning Maliki´s nomination to PM. That is total futility in my opinion. How stupid that is. Maliki is now so desperate to become PM he has sent Hussein to Washington. Trump will reject Hussein 100 %. .

    It seems to me that Trump now understands that Maliki cannot become PM. Therefore he sent CF another tough message today concerning the disbandment of PMF. Maliki´s name was never mentioned in that message.

    It seems that every politician in Iraq now prepares for a parliament session next week in order to select the new president. I follow the news every hour and it seems that the problem with Maliki now is gone forever. Now Iraq can soon form a new government and select a president and PM, pass the budget and Hydrocarbon Law!! Then CBI can raise the value of the dinar and release the new small category notes. All in my opinion of course.

  8. Sudani has reportedly conveyed a direct message to Maliki urging him to withdraw and has indicated that if Maliki continues, he will formally declare his non-support.

    —————————————————

    Above is an excerpt from an article dated February 23, 2026 Kurdistan 24 (Erbil)

    Today February 23 Tom Barrack visited PM Sudani with a very important message.

    He conveyed Trump´s message to the Sudanese stressing the need to withdraw his nomination for Al-Maliki.

    I am very convinced that Sudani will withdraw his support for Al-Maliki already this week.

    After that Al-Maliki is definitely gone forever in iraqi politics.

    In my opinion Al-Maliki wants to kill the monetary reform and also save his own skin. That is why he is still insisting everyday.

    And God Bless and Protect our great President Trump- he is definitely ON THE JOB- laying the groundwork for the free world to survive and prosper.

    Praise the Lord for our Modern David!

    He understands the Art of the Deal , has tremendous focus on the objective, and patience to set all the players in position FOR A DEFINITIVE VICTORY!!

    not even one ballistic big missile can get through to an aircraft carrier, GOD PROTECT OUR WARRIORS IN HARMS WAY

    of course we can see every launcher they have and that has to be the first wave of blows – disable their attack missiles, carpet bomb airports take out the mass of drones, radar, sink the fast boats blocking the Straits, pinpoint and hit key IRGC leaders, ESCORT PAHLAVI INTO TEHRAN, support the Iranian people with special forces targeting IRGC, and of course the 30,000 lb deep throat bomb for the nuke sites just for the principle of it since ayatoilet and his cronies have been so horribly cruel to the people

    So i think it is smart move by Trump to let the suspense build, make preparations, negotiate from strength, arrest Maliki and get this GOI set.

  13. Treasury Secretary Bessent just dropped the hammer Thirty-plus Iranian entities sanctioned. Oil networks, ballistic missile programs, weapons procurement — the full architecture. Official US Treasury statement. Not community intel. Not analyst speculation. Tier 1 confirmation that “maximum pressure” is now operational policy. Why this matters for Iraq: The same Iranian financial networks being targeted are the corridors that have blocked Iraqi monetary reform for years. When Treasury sanctions the regime’s oil laundering and weapons financing, they’re also dismantling the leverage networks that kept Maliki viable and the Coordination Framework compliant with Tehran. Barzani returned to Baghdad this week. First agenda item: Article 140 census. That’s the constitutional path to HCL resolution — revenue sharing between Baghdad and Kurdistan. The pipeline logic is clear: Census locks in territorial claims > HCL distributes oil revenue > new exchange rate mechanism follows. Meanwhile CBI closed the financial borders. All foreign remittances now subject to approval. Pre-reform capital controls — preventing arbitrage and flight before the rate adjustment. The technical layer is locking down while Treasury applies pressure at the geopolitical layer. Two tracks, same outcome: When Iranian leverage expires, Iraqi political space opens. The UST just confirmed what we’ve been tracking. The pressure isn’t theoretical anymore. It’s sanctioned.

  23. Thank you Mnt Goat for all you do. You are the ONLY source of truth i listen to when it comes to the revaluation and reinstatement of the dinar. Is it frustrating to listen to the seemingly never ending curve balls we get thrown at just before everything seems clear for the revaluation? Yes it is, but the truth is the truth. At the end of the day I want to see the whole middle east prosper and living in peace. The Dinar is not about us, it’s about them. we just happen to be the benefactors of their prosperity when it comes. Here’s what I think will happen. The Iranian National Guard in Iraq can no longer count on their direction from Iran as the head of the snake has been cut off. Now they are without direction. They will now rely on the support of those in Iraq that were their supporters, to see what kind of power or authority comes out of this election cycle. when they find out that there won’t be any, they will wait to see if there is an authority (like the U.S) that will physically (rather than legislatively) try to remove them. If those powers do make an effort to remove them, I believe it will be without resistance at that point. However, they’ve been their too long and been to woven into the fabric of the Iraqi culture to give up too easily. Trump said to the Iranian people. “This is your time to take your country back” I believe the same can be said to Iraq about the Iranian National Guard.

Alaq in his wisdom an loyalty to Iran allowed the status quo to keep the same old same old home mattress banks to persist which helps the parallel market persist. Continued bombing on the Iranian militias in IRAQ hopefully will pay dividends sooner than later.

  31. The HCL. And the 17-Year Veto That Just Ended.

    The Hydrocarbon Law is the single most important piece of legislation in Iraq. It distributes oil revenue to all provinces. It is the economic constitution.

    And one man blocked it for 17 years.

    Nouri al-Maliki controlled parliamentary blocs through Iranian oil smuggling money. Over $35 billion per year funnelled through Baghdad’s banking system. He used that leverage to veto every attempt at revenue sharing. He also blocked Article 140, the constitutional requirement for a Kirkuk census, because an autonomous, resource-rich Kurdistan didn’t serve his power structure.

    On February 26, 2026, Masoud Barzani returned to Baghdad with Article 140 as the first item on the agenda.

    On March 3, 2026, the Coordination Framework dropped Maliki as PM nominee.

    After seventeen years.

    The veto is gone. The path to the HCL is open.

The presidential vote is the constitutional trigger that unlocks a new PM, a new government, and any serious movement on the budget and HCL — so April 11 is now the date every dinar holder needs to circle.
