this decision is one of a financial nature, if they agree to this he will remove zeros reinstate Iraq to greatness and then the year will turn into another term...

After Trump Tweeted about Al Maliki nomination to PM. I believe there are Internal Fractures Behind the scenes, the Coordination Framework is far from united. Key figures like Ammar al-Hakim from the National Wisdom Movement and Haider al-Abadi from the Victory Coalition have reportedly boycotted meetings or expressed deep reservations about Maliki’s return, fearing the economic fallout of defying Washington. Al Sudani, While he officially withdrew to let Maliki run, he remains the fallback option. If Maliki’s nomination collapses entirely, Sudani is the safe choice to continue his current balancing act. Go Al Sudani ✅

Now this is good news... hopefully more parties will revolt.

Trump just stepped on the ant pile. It's what he does. It's the art of the deal. I'm in it to win it! It's time for Iran and all it's terrorist proxies to fall. Iraq and Iran will be better off for it and so will the World. I have been involved in this speculative investment far too long to walk away now. Don't even flinch. These guys don't play fair and NEVER will. It's now or never. Go Trump! Go America!

There you have it 👊🏼🇺🇸 MIGA Make Iraq Great Again.

Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and his chances of a second term are actually increasing the more the Nouri al-Maliki nomination struggles. In the complex logic of Iraqi politics, Al-Sudani is currently playing a wait and see game. This was a strategic retreat. By stepping back, Al-Sudani avoided a direct, bruising confrontation with the powerful pro Iran factions within the Coordination Framework who were demanding Maliki’s return. Go Al Sudani ✅

A source told Al-Ain News: Maliki withdraws from the race to form the Iraqi government, and the "framework" is exploring alternatives. Al Ain News Saturday, January 31, 2026, 11:13 AM Abu Dhabi time Nouri al-Maliki and Joshua Harris Updated Saturday, January 31, 2026, 1:15 PM Abu Dhabi time A well-informed political source confirmed to Al-Ain News on Saturday that Nouri al-Maliki, head of the State of Law Coalition, informed the leaders of the Shiite Coordination Framework of his decision to withdraw from the nomination for the position of Prime Minister. He said that the announcement of not running came after a meeting he had with the acting US ambassador in Baghdad, Joshua Harris, who directly conveyed US President Donald Trump’s latest message to Maliki, stating that the United States “will not interfere in the process of forming the Iraqi government, but will boycott the next government if Maliki proceeds with his nomination for prime minister.” The source said that Maliki conveyed his position during internal consultations with the framework’s leaders, stressing that his decision came “out of concern to spare the country further tensions, and to prevent the political process from sliding into complex paths that could negatively affect political and economic stability.” He added that Maliki stressed, while informing the leaders of the framework, that his decision does not mean a retreat from his political positions, but rather comes within the framework of “prioritizing the supreme national interest, and opening the way for a broader internal consensus that ensures the formation of a stable government capable of managing the next stage.” The source indicated that, following this development, the coordination framework began discussing alternative names for the prime minister candidate, amid efforts to reach a quick consensus that enjoys political and national acceptance, and avoids the country entering a constitutional vacuum or internal clashes. There has been no official confirmation from Maliki regarding his withdrawal from the race for the premiership so far. A political meeting in a tense atmosphere According to al-Maliki's media office, the meeting discussed a vision for a coordination framework for the next Iraqi government, in light of internal political division and increasing external pressure. Hisham al-Rikabi, the media office director for al-Maliki, confirmed in a post on the “X” platform that the meeting addressed “ways to strengthen bilateral relations, the ongoing dialogues between political forces to complete the remaining presidencies, and the vision of the coordination framework for forming the next government.” US President Donald Trump had previously expressed his strong opposition to al-Maliki's nomination, threatening to cut off US aid to Iraq, and considering al-Maliki's return a "grave mistake" that could drag the country into chaos and instability. Al-Maliki responded to these statements with a strongly worded statement, in which he affirmed his categorical rejection of what he described as “blatant American interference” in Iraqi internal affairs, considering that the selection of the prime minister is a purely Iraqi constitutional matter, and no country has the right to influence it or impose its will on the political process. The coordination framework is preparing for an emergency meeting. Meanwhile, the source revealed to Al-Ain News that the coordination framework is preparing to hold an emergency meeting in the coming hours, possibly on Saturday evening, to discuss the latest developments and come up with a unified position that is “politically sound” and takes into account the sensitivity of the stage and the nature of the American intervention. The source indicated that the response would not be emotional, but would be officially announced after the completion of internal consultations, stressing that the essence of the meeting between Maliki and the US chargé d'affaires in Baghdad went beyond the protocol framework, to carry a clear political message from the Trump administration, reflecting Washington’s shift from the stage of public warning to the stage of possible political boycott. A Kurdish reading of the American position In contrast, Kurdish sources saw the clear American rejection of al-Maliki’s nomination as revealing the exaggeration in portraying the influence of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, led by Masoud Barzani, within Washington. The sources explained that Barzani’s early welcome of Maliki’s nomination led some circles to suggest that there was American acceptance, an “untrue” image that, according to these sources, was built through extensive media support over the past years. The presidential election is putting pressure on the political scene. In parallel, the Iraqi parliament announced that next Sunday has been set as the date for the session to elect the president of the republic, after amending a previous date that was scheduled for Tuesday, in light of the approaching end of the constitutional period for this entitlement. This move comes amid ongoing political disputes, particularly within the Kurdish political establishment, and with the announcement of the final list of candidates, which includes 19 political and independent figures, further complicating the situation and increasing the pressure on political forces to reach urgent compromises. https://al-ain.com/article/1769843609

Good. Someone call the Hague. He needs to be hung by his neck for crimes against humanity.

great sudani ... now get off the program rate, reinstate the iqd and rejoin the international community ... cheers dv'ers

Sudani ends "alliance of necessity" with Maliki and begins "under-the-table" negotiations to form the government 2026-02-08 - Our Reports Baghdad - The New World ADecrease font size. AReset font size. AIncrease font size. Well-informed political sources revealed on Sunday (February 8, 2026) the disintegration of the “Sudani-Maliki” front within the coordination framework, following a notable shift in the position of outgoing Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani regarding the nomination of Nouri al-Maliki for the next government. They confirmed that he had opened parallel negotiation channels with “Shia forces” that reject the return of either of them, amid talk of using political and economic pressure tools to push al-Maliki to withdraw, as a result of his insistence on confronting the internal and international rejection of his nomination. Sources told Al-Alam Al-Jadeed that “Al-Sudani withdrew his support for Al-Maliki’s nomination after the recent developments, and that he has actually begun negotiations to form the new government with political blocs that have rejected his nomination from the beginning, most notably the Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq movement led by Qais al-Khazali, and the Hikma movement led by Ammar al-Hakim.” She indicates that “the means of pressure that will be exerted on Maliki in order to force him to withdraw is to threaten not to send the oil money deposited in the US Federal Reserve Bank, to put him in confrontation with the people,” citing that “this explains the issue of delaying the release of employee salaries until now, for almost three weeks, including employees of the Ministries of Education and Interior.” The same political sources attribute “Maliki’s reneging on the agreement concluded with Al-Sudani to the latter’s defection from him,” explaining that “the agreement included each of them supporting the other in the event that he did not obtain internal and external political acceptance to head the next government.” The Coordination Framework announced on January 24th the nomination of Nouri Kamel al-Maliki as the next Prime Minister by majority vote, but on January 27th, US President Donald Trump expressed his rejection of this nomination in a post on his “Truth Social” account, threatening to halt US support for Iraq. On January 31, al-Maliki reiterated his commitment to the nomination, which he considered a democratic right, and that he would not give it up, calling on “others,” without naming them, to respect “the people’s decision” and not to interfere in their national affairs. Iraq is experiencing a real salary crisis after delays in payment, despite assurances issued by the Ministry of Finance and government advisors in recent days. Al-Alam Al-Jadeed had revealed in a previous report dated January 12, details of a preliminary understanding between the “Reconstruction and Development” coalition headed by Al-Sudani, and the “State of Law” coalition headed by Al-Maliki, which stipulates the formation of a large parliamentary bloc of up to 85 deputies, which nominates Al-Maliki for the position of Prime Minister, with an alternative plan to nominate Al-Sudani for a second term, in the event that Al-Maliki cannot be passed for any reason, which put the forces of the Coordination Framework in front of a complex political reality. Sources at the time attributed that move to a decisive and firm reaction by both sides towards the actions of the leaders of the other blocs, specifically Qais al-Khazali, leader of Asaib Ahl al-Haq, Hadi al-Amiri, leader of the Badr Organization, and Ammar al-Hakim, leader of the Hikma Movement, who held secret meetings during which they reached an agreement to nominate a figure rejected by al-Sudani and al-Maliki, namely Basim al-Badri, head of the Accountability and Justice Commission. Al-Alam Al-Jadeed was the first Iraqi media outlet to reveal, on January 3, a surprise and unannounced meeting between Maliki and Sudani, which included advanced understandings between the two parties to discuss and resolve the issue of the next prime ministership, which coincided with the announcement of Maliki’s nomination for the position. In a previous report dated January 11 , “Al-Alam Al-Jadeed” revealed the behind-the-scenes details of a meeting of the leaders of the Coordination Framework, which showed a great shock among them due to Al-Sudani’s announcement to them that he had nominated Al-Maliki for the premiership, in the event that they insisted on refusing to renew his mandate. The leader of the National Wisdom Movement, Ammar Al-Hakim, was the first to be shocked and reserved, as he called for taking the opinion of the Najaf religious authority, and he began to study not participating in a government headed by Al-Maliki, in light of serious fears of repeating previous scenarios related to monopolizing decision-making and consolidating power. It is worth noting that the Reconstruction and Development Coalition, headed by Al-Sudani, obtained 46 parliamentary seats, followed by the State of Law Coalition, led by Nouri Al-Maliki, with 29 seats, and the “Sadiqun” bloc, led by Qais Al-Khazali, with 28 seats. Meanwhile, “Badr,” led by Hadi Al-Amiri, obtained 19 seats, and “State Forces,” led by Ammar Al-Hakim, obtained 18 seats. All of these fall under the umbrella of the Coordination Framework (Shia Forces), which obtained more than 170 parliamentary seats out of 329 seats in the last elections of 2025. During his second term, Nouri al-Maliki faced a number of widespread political and religious objections to granting him a third term, most notably the position of the supreme religious authority in Najaf in 2014, when it gave the green light to replace him, at the height of the security crisis that accompanied the entry of ISIS into a number of western and northern provinces of the country. According to observers, the nomination of Nouri al-Maliki also represents a clear provocation to the Sadrist movement, against the backdrop of the military operations he led during his previous term in what was then known as the “Knights’ Charge” in 2009, which targeted factions affiliated with the Sadrist movement in Basra Governorate. Despite overcoming the crisis at that time and reaching an understanding between the two sides in the 2010 government, it remained present in the minds of the Sadrist movement’s supporters. https://al-aalem.com/السوداني-ينهي-حلف-الضرورة-مع-المالك/

Should he accept, let's hope they then eventually move to allow him a full 4 year term and remove the limited power clause. He actually won the most seats (46), more than 50% more than Maliki, and should be the PM. JMHO..! RON

Economic expert Nabil Al-Marsoumi says in a tweet on social media that “more than 200 Iraqi companies contracted with oil licensing companies, employing more than 50,000 Iraqi workers, are threatened with large financial losses and layoffs, due to the Central Bank of Iraq’s directive not to disburse their dollar transfers in dollars and to convert them to dinars at the official rate, even though their contracts and expenses are also in dollars,” explaining that “the loss occurs due to the large difference between the official and parallel exchange rates of the dollar against the dinar,” and pointing to “the collapse of companies due to the exchange rate.” in favor of focusing on local companies or those that accept dealing in dinars,” explaining that “a number of Western and foreign companies rely on external supply chains that require payment in dollars to secure equipment and services.” Hassan tells Shafaq News Agency that “the contracting oil companies, which employ more than 40,000 Iraqi workers, have begun to face significant financial pressures after the state began paying their dues in dollars at the official rate of 131,000 dinars per 100 dollars, while the dollar is trading at around 155,000 dinars on the parallel market,” stressing that “this is causing direct losses for the companies.” He adds that "the state, instead of supporting these companies, is pushing them to reduce their operations," noting that "the continuation of this situation will force companies to lay off their workers and may lead to their complete shutdown," pointing out that "most of the companies contracted with international oil companies are Iraqi companies, and they have already begun to be unable to pay the salaries of their employees." For his part, economist Dirgham Muhammad Ali believes that “the attempt to avoid creating a parallel market for the dollar prompted the Central Bank to take a number of measures to enhance confidence in the dinar and strengthen it, but these measures were not fair in light of the continued gap between the official and parallel exchange rates.” This change of policy makes zero sense given the huge disparity between the dinar and the dollar. I’ve never liked or trusted Al-Alaq but I never believed him to be crazy. Iraq can’t survive just selling oil to countries who use the Dinar and they can’t survive selling to international companies if using the dinar in the transactions. Am I missing something?? Now if they choose to hire me as a consultant for a few seconds, I could suggest a way out of this dilemma for them. 😉😎

Looks like the forgot who controls their money. The US 🇺🇸 US Pledges To 'Starve' Iraq Of Oil Revenue If Pro-Iran Parties Join New Government.

I still have faith that we will at least break even. I am here till they put me in my box and put me 6 ft under. I have been in it too long now not to stay. I have to agree with @YukonJohn.. this has been the best it has been since I first bought dinar way back in 2009. Sudani has made a huge difference and if he comes back as PM I can see iraq will move forward faster than if it was anybody else. Will we make a boat load of money ? who knows. None of us can be 100 % certain of that. If I break even or just a bit more than I put in at least I lost nothing really. If we make way more than that... BONUS!! We can all continue with the hopes, dreams and plans we had. But along the way we have all made some good friends and spoken to people we would not have done other wise. For that I will always be grateful.

Another FAFO situation. This is a line in the sand for Iraq. Are they going to be a part of Trump's vision of a prosperous, safe, join the world Iraq, or kow tow to Iran, put Maliki through, and be done in and waste the last 23 years only to have their citizens get thrown back into the dark ages and another long delay of giving their money the value it should have. The choice is clear. Freedom and prosperity or terrorism and poverty.

For all the reasons above. The Iraqi coordination Framework shouldn’t choose Maliki as next Prime Minister. The cost will be devastating for Iraq and its people Go Al Sudani ✅ Great Article RJG 👍🏼

Yeah, the nerve of Trump! How dare he interfere, doesn’t he know only Iran can do that??!! 😂

Thanks to the Trump administration.! Caretaker PM Mohammed Shia al-Sudani recently "withdrew" his bid, which technically left Maliki as the frontrunner.However, many see this as a trap Sudani’s withdrawal was conditional on Maliki gaining unanimous support from the CF and the blessing of Ayatollah al-Sistani, both of which remain highly unlikely. Go Al-Sudani ✅

The US Treasury freezes the assets of Halbousi and two of his party leaders 5 Feb 22:15 Information/Anbar... An official source in Anbar province revealed on Wednesday that Jordan and the UAE have frozen the assets of the head of the Progress Party, Mohammed al-Halbousi, and two of his party leaders, due to their inclusion in the US sanctions. The source told Al-Maalomah News Agency that "Jordan and the UAE have frozen the assets of the head of the Progress Alliance, Mohammed al-Halbousi, the current governor of Anbar, Omar Mishaan Dabbous, and Hebat al-Halbousi, the Speaker of Parliament, due to their inclusion in the US Federal Reserve's decision." He added that "the targeted party leaders stole huge sums of money after assuming leadership positions in the central and local governments and transferred them to banks outside Iraq." He indicated that “Mohammed al-Halbousi and Speaker of Parliament Hebat al-Halbousi failed to convince the acting US ambassador in Baghdad to mediate to lift the freeze on his funds outside Iraq and the rest of the party leaders.” He explained that "Al-Halbousi owns, undeclared, banks and exchange offices used in currency smuggling operations from Iraq to neighboring countries," stressing that "Al-Halbousi's talks with officials at the US Embassy in Baghdad and the Kuwaiti ambassador failed to release frozen assets outside Iraq due to their inclusion in the US sanctions."

Nazar Haider @NazarHaidar5 Translated from Arabic **Exclusive and Special** Nizar Haider The U.S. Chargé d'Affaires in Baghdad informed all political and party leaderships from diverse backgrounds [Shia, Sunni, and Kurds] that any prime minister nominated must immediately work to implement the administration's clear conditions, which are: *Disbanding the militias *Ending the influence of the eastern neighbor and severing dealings with it He added: The list of [9] nominees for the next government premiership is rejected in full and in detail, and any attempt, no matter how minor, to proceed against the American will will lead to a complete economic collapse and immediate consequences that accelerate a tragic end for the ruling political class in a final manner. During Sayyed Abdul Hussein Al-Moussawi's (a leader in the Virtue Party allied with Al-Maliki) presentation to the Chargé d'Affaires that Al-Maliki is ready to implement all the administration's conditions immediately and that [Al-Maliki] seeks President Trump's blessing for his steps, the Chargé d'Affaires responded to Al-Maliki's godfather by saying: In fact, just days ago, Al-Maliki offered new concessions to the administration, led mediations, and proposed implementing all the administration's wishes, but he was ignored to the point that he didn't receive a response from anyone in Washington because he doesn't deserve a response—he's a person suffering from memory loss disease [Alzheimer's], and he also suffers from a split personality!

Great idea! Let's form a committee.

This sounds good if it happens

so lets see here since iran cant have maliki iran will allow sudani to keep going but no authority - power, so the funds from america keep rolling in without sanctions , one can only hope sudani makes sure he has full power as PM..we wait

Do not underestimate Maliki. He is a rattlesnake and holds a lot of power inside of Iraq and he’s an Iranian minion. He also has his own security force. I have expected Maliki to try for the PM again for years and have mentioned it in several posts on this forum. In my opinion, if the “good Iraqis” have suddenly “endorsed” him, it’s because Maliki has gotten something on them that is a vital threat. Also in my opinion, the U.S. is the only entity that can stop Maliki.

Oh yeah, America is going to interfere! If it had not been for American “interference” Iraq would be flying the ISISI Black flag over Baghdad right now, thanks to Maliki’s crooked government. Remember when Maliki’s “well trained military” threw down their arms and ran away from an ISIS assault?? The Middle East and the World better hope America will interfere to prevent Maliki and his ilk from going back into power in Iraq! Just the thought makes me sick.

Didn’t Sudani speak with Trump just before or after the election? Maybe this is by design. Remember, Trump is playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers. Sudani seems like he is all in for Iraq and not Iran.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!! NOW, WE HAVE A REAL LEADER IN THE USA!!!!!!

still not sure why sudani stepped aside ... i guess we only know a small fraction what actually takes place . cheers

They have a choice, get with the program and get away from Iran and Iranian influenced politicians or suffer sever economic consequences.

I was going to put this in the opinions section, but it seems no one has posted in there for years. This is a post just to see how everyone is feeling at this point. I intend on keeping mine until they go international, no matter what the outcome(LOP or no LOP), whether we get screwed another way, or we make out like we all hoped. So don't go telling me to just leave or sell my dinar if I don't believe anymore, yada yada yada, So iow, Karens need not reply. I personally don't have much faith in us coming out of this the way we wanted to anymore, but like I said, I'm in it to the end no matter what. I don't know if I believe in how people say, "If they were gonna LOP, they would have done it years ago," etc. I feel that maybe they needed to get their ducks in a row JUST TO raise the rate in any circumstance, LOP or not. They have been telling us for decades that 'Iraq intends to redenominate', it was on the first currency exchange site I looked at the first day I bought dinar. So "I" can't claim ignorance for being here. I also feel there's possibility of something else 'unknown to us' that could happen that would keep us from making out. But hopefully all these feelings will all be for naught, and we will wake up one day and it will all be worth it. So how do others feel about where we are at, and what are the reasons you feel like this will happen for us or not. Thanks for the input.

I’m still here and will be here until the end! I got in this as a young Staff Sergeant…I’m now a 12 year retired Command Sergeant Major (and a real CSM…not like that fake “stolen valor” POS Tim Waltz)! I say that to let y’all know I (like many of you) have bern in this for a going on 2 decades! What keeps me positive about this. It’s NOT… 1. Development road project. 2. The digital dinar 3. Improved banking system 4. Their new CBI building 5. Earnst and Young 6. Oliver Wyman 7. Foreign reserves 8. The amount of accumulated gold 9. Low inflation 10. Mark Savaya 11. POTUS Although the above 👆🏻 are positive elements its the fact that the surrounding counties currencies “individually and collectively” have an exchange rate value that far exceeds Iraqs (with nowhere near the oil, minerals and natural resources)! It just makes sense (to me) that Iraq will eventually add value! Sooo…that is my , and why I’m still here! 👍🏻🫡🇺🇸

Do you think maybe photo shopped by our all knowing gurus....

Choosing Al Maliki will be a crime against the Iraqi people.

I would like to humbly nominate..... RV AL Ready or his brother RI

Does this sound familiar - main stream media and woke globalists using every means available to discredit President Trump and his accomplishments, as well as try to derail everything he tries to put into motion or accomplish.

keep him in power to delete zeros and reinstate!

In the presence of the framework delegation, Al-Sudani and Barzani affirmed their commitment to completing the formation of the government. Money and Business Economy News - Baghdad Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and Kurdistan Democratic Party leader Masoud Barzani affirmed on Monday their commitment to completing the formation of the government in accordance with the results of the parliamentary elections.

Hope you are right LB. Maliki is a cancer that needs to be excised. Hopefully we won’t have too much longer to wait.

Swamps are deep and wide everywhere there is a government, it would seem. Corruption being uncovered in Minnesota? Hire in the professional anarcho-marxist squads to create a distraction. Corruption being uncovered in Baghdad? Threaten the duly elected previous PM and put the chief thief back in power to squash investigations and maintain the grifting.

Squash Iran and it’s proxy's now when the Iranian regime is hurting and get rid of Maliki and his merry gang of thugs inside Iraq. Maliki should be hung for treason. Enough already.

agree 8th id , and sudani's camp is very quiet almost to quiet im sensing something much deeper is at play / waiting

What a mucking fess! I can't wait to see how the Donald is gonna make America First out of this nightmare. I have lived most of my life wth headlines dominated by IRAN and I am so tired of their Shite. I'm ready for the festivities to begin so they and the rest of the middle east can move on with life. It's time for the Shite to hit the fan. Flush the Grand Poobah and his cronies down the tubes and Bring back Irans Prince. Iraqs problem will will cure itself when the head the snake is removed. Go 47 and Company!

Unfortunately, the whole Maliki situation seems to be coming up again. We were rid of him for what....I don't even know how many years. But he was still around, lurking in the backstage making noise. Wonder how everyone will feel IF he DOES get PM again? I remember everyone WANTED him to be PM 16 or 17 years ago when I first joined here, so they would have a gov and they could rv. See where that got us.... Since then, no one wants Maliki because they won't rv then When they do raise the value, LOP or NO, I think it will be at least a buck, so we can at least get what we paid for if we do get screwed.....or close to. All comes down to them saying for however many years that they want to be stronger than the dollar. So maybe we'll come out ahead either way? So whatever the outcome of this, everyone should stick it out til the end, whether it's worth the wait or not.

Personally I feel that the ER will get above 1/6th of a penny...when is the question. I believe it will be a minimum of .10 but more likely 1-1. Current events at present are the most promising in the 10 plus years I've been here! Is the CBI/Govt agencies trying to recoup funds prior to an RV that went to: Bad actors (Maliki, Militant groups, corrupt govt officials) Theft of the century Funding for bogus projects Mattress money Keeping the faith, MIGA

I remember when I first got in this, and then joined this site a year later in 2010, EVERYONE was saying they needed the gov to be formed, and then the rv. And it was Maliki back then too that everyone was waiting to get us that rv.... Seems we've come full circle to get back to that point again, cept this time, no one wants Maliki. I don't have another 17 years in me...

He still faces the "Sistani Veto." Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani famously stated in 2014 that "the tried should not be tried again," referring to Maliki's previous failure to prevent the fall of Mosul and the loss of state funds. Additionally, Muqtada al-Sadr has historically opposed Maliki’s return, and a nomination could trigger mass street protests, which would immediately cause the Dinar to fluctuate due to civil instability. For the Dinar to remain stable at 1,310, the market needs to believe that the new Iraq of 2026 is different from the Iraq of 2014. A Maliki premiership would have to work twice as hard to prove to the World Bank and the U.S. Treasury that the "missing billions" era is truly over.
