Netanyahu sets terms for ending Gaza war Middle EastbreakingIsraelgazaBenjamin NetanyahuIsraeli ArmyWar in Gaza 2025-08-14 / 13:40 Shafaq News – Middle East On Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated five principles set by his security cabinet for ending the war in Gaza, insisting that their implementation is the only path to ensuring Israel’s security and achieving what he described as “victory.” Netanyahu stressed that the principles, approved by the cabinet last week, include: 1. the disarmament of Hamas, 2. the return of all hostages — both living and deceased — and 3. the complete demilitarization of the Gaza Strip to prevent the production or smuggling of weapons. The framework also calls for 4. continued Israeli security control in Gaza, including over the security perimeter, and 5. the establishment of an alternative civil administration that is neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority. The measures are part of Israel’s broader war strategy, which the security cabinet advanced on August 14 amid the ongoing war that has killed at least 61,776 Palestinians (including Hamas militants) and injured more than 154,906 since October 7. Gaza’s Government Media Office warned that 40,000 infants face life-threatening malnutrition, 250,000 children under five are suffering from severe food shortages, and 1.2 million minors are living with acute food insecurity. (These Islamic media outlets have to add those consequences of war, not mentioning that Hamas started it, and has used the civilians as shields. They choose to blame Israel for everything) JMHO..! https://www.shafaq.com/en/Middle-East/Netanyahu-sets-terms-for-ending-Gaza-war

RON 8-16-2025 Intel Guru Frank26 They keep talking about a digital currency...I want them to talk about lower notes...a new currency. They talk about the lifting of the 3 zeros from the exchange rate which would equal a new currency. No matter what, the point is, they are talking about it, which means they are about to introduce it. That tells you it's coming. 8-16-2025 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat My CBI contact said... they need to do the project (the Project To Delete the Zeros) very soon to get all this hoarded cash into the banking system...Think about this – Who the hell is going to turn in their three zeros notes if the dinar is not worth more than the dollar? They know what is coming and they are waiting for it just like us. Over the years, the CBI has tried every trick in the book to get these dinar hoards in the banks, unsuccessfully. This new rate will be the second of the two rate changes we were promised by the CBI years ago…finally! The CBI told us it must be just over a dollar. [Post 1 of 2] 8-16-2025 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Remember folks this will be in Iraq in country ONLY! We can not yet go the banks when this happens. It will not yet be international...the CBI can not let the dinar sit there for too long without migrating to the out of country global currency exchanges. To wait would also be disastrous too. This is why when this does happen we must watch the dinar VERY closely since it could then pop out on FOREX at about anytime afterwards. Then we go to the bank as investors. If you want a timing...watch the process. [Post 2 of 2]

Iraq's oil fortune: The two-decade grip of a US 'fortress' Opinion & AnalysisiraqbreakingUSUS Federal ReserveOil Money 2025-08-15 / 10:40 Shafaq News Before dawn in Basra, giant oil tankers edge into the jetties, loading arms glinting under floodlights as millions of barrels of crude stream aboard for export. Yet most of the proceeds from this trade never pass through Baghdad’s vaults. Instead, they cross the Atlantic to a heavily fortified building in Manhattan — the US Federal Reserve Bank of New York — where they remain under strict American oversight. What began in 2003 as a “temporary safeguard” after the invasion and the fall of Saddam Hussein has endured for 22 years, outliving its original UN mandate and embedding itself in Iraq’s financial system — and in the debate over whether such oversight protects or undermines the country’s economic sovereignty. From Mandate to Custody In May 2003, UN Security Council Resolution 1483 required Iraq to deposit all oil and gas revenues into a Federal Reserve account under UN monitoring, with 5% deducted for reparations to Kuwait. That same month, then-US President George W. Bush issued Executive Order 13303, granting the account full legal immunity from seizure. For nearly two decades, Iraq sent steady payments to Kuwait — $52.4B in total — until the last $44M cleared in late 2021, closing the file. Iraqi lawmakers hailed it as “a new beginning,” yet the financial mechanism remained. UN Security Council Resolution 1956, adopted on December 15, 2010, ended the UN-supervised arrangements for the Development Fund for Iraq (DFI) as of June 30, 2011. Yet Washington has renewed the executive order every year since — most recently in May 2025. In US policy circles, the arrangement has shifted from a post-war safeguard to a permanent instrument — one that, according to American officials, helps stabilize Iraq’s fragile economy and monitor dollar flows. Supporters point to improved investor confidence and reduced risk from oil market volatility, while critics see a foreign power keeping a hand on Iraq’s wealth. Billions in New York Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) officials told Shafaq News, in condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter, that the US Federal Reserve currently holds between $80B and $85B of Iraq’s reserves. These funds pay for imports, settle foreign obligations, stabilize the dinar, and help curb inflation — making uninterrupted access critical to Iraq’s economy. However, that dependence has given US regulators leverage; after, what it alleged, tracing dollar transfers to sanctioned states such as Iran and Syria, the US Treasury barred 35 of Iraq’s 72 licensed banks from dollar transactions. Iraqi officials note that banks can be reinstated if they meet compliance standards, but until then, access to dollars remains restricted. With fewer dollars in circulation, the parallel exchange rate climbed from about 1,470 dinars per dollar in 2022 to peaks of 1,600 in 2024. Higher import costs rippled through markets, straining traders, raising consumer prices, and fueling public frustration. Washington has also considered limits on foreign electronic payments, potentially affecting the use of international cards — a reminder that decisions made in New York can directly influence transactions in Baghdad’s shops and markets. Old Debt, New Risks To some, this Fed account is a vital shield, including Washington-based economist and policy adviser Dr. Frank Masmar, who described it to Shafaq News as “a safe haven for revenues in volatile oil markets” that also facilitates debt servicing and trade finance. He warned, however, that “the United States can, if it chooses, use these funds as political leverage.” Others in Baghdad, such as Prime Minister’s economic adviser Mudhir Muhammad Salih, call it a “legal safety net” that has allowed Iraq to diversify reserves into other protected central banks. He stressed that while the US does not directly control oil inflows, the dominance of the dollar means transactions are inevitably subject to American oversight. Meanwhile, Economist Nabil al-Tamimi warned that Saddam-era claims could still be used to target Iraqi assets if they lose the Fed’s legal protection, noting that gaps left since 2003 could be exploited by foreign creditors. Former senior banker Mahmoud Dagher agrees, arguing that with outstanding cases against the Ministry of Finance, moving the reserves would be “a strategic mistake.” Both see the same hazard: without immunity, Iraq’s wealth could become entangled in court battles abroad. A Delicate Balance Oil revenues fund more than 90% of Iraq’s budget; any delay in accessing them would disrupt salaries, stall public services, and unsettle markets. Altering the arrangement could also raise borrowing costs, hurt credit ratings, and weaken the dinar — risks Baghdad cannot afford to ignore. Iraq’s choices are few: keep the system, renegotiate it, or cut the tie entirely. Each path carries consequences beyond accounting and deep into the question of sovereignty. As some analysts put it, relying on the Federal Reserve is like walking a tightrope — it offers security, but it can become a pressure point the moment "Washington’s political calculus shifts." Two decades after the first oil dollars landed in New York, Iraq’s economic lifeline shall continue running through a foreign vault for the foreseeable future — a reminder that in global finance, the lines between protection and control can be dangerously thin.

"Everything is done; nothing else to do. Let's all go home!"

https://www.givehim15.com/post/august-15-2025 August 15, 2025 Pray for the Trump and Putin Meeting Today We live in interesting times. Those on the Left are demonstrating against Trump and the National Guard who are attempting to make Washington, D.C. safer and cleaner. They contend that DC is already safe and that crime isn’t a problem. Chuck Schumer says he feels perfectly safe walking around the Capitol area. He, of course, has his armed Secret Service detail all around him. Proverbs 18:1-2 comes to mind: “Unfriendly people care only about themselves; they lash out at common sense. Fools have no interest in understanding; they only want to air their own opinions.” (New Living Translation) Then there are the Democratic legislators in Texas who have walked off the job, protesting what they consider to be gerrymandering by the Republicans (redrawing Congressional districts in order to obtain more seats for a political party). Apart from the fact that abandoning their legislative jobs is illegal, the Dems did so by fleeing the state and hiding in Illinois, one of the most Democrat-gerrymandered states in the nation! “Let’s protest gerrymandering by fleeing to some of our gerrymandering friends!” One can’t help but wonder who thought that was a good idea. Meanwhile, “villain Trump” is off to Alaska today, attempting to stop another war. The Left doesn’t like this, either – someone else should end the war in Ukraine! As I have stated before, it appears TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) is real and growing much more destructive. It doesn’t matter to most of us who gets the credit for ending the war in Ukraine; we would just like for the incredible suffering and loss of life to end. It seems that the economic pressure Trump has been placing on Russia is having an effect; Putin has requested a meeting with him. No one knows if the meeting will be productive - the tensions between Russia and Ukraine are great, and they seem to be pretty far apart with their demands – but it is worth a try. Though Putin’s brutal attack against Ukraine cannot be justified, the situation is a little more complicated than most of us Americans understand. The animosity between Ukraine and Russia has deep historical roots that stretch way back beyond the two modern states, similar to the millennia-old conflicts throughout the Middle East. Layers of rule, painful memories, and strategic interests have built a long-running tension. Here is a brief historical review based on my research, which perhaps will help us pray more intelligently. In medieval and early modern times, what is now Ukraine and Russia shared a significant amount of culture and political intermingling. Over the centuries, this changed. The 19th and early 20th centuries saw an intensification of conflicting ideals. A Ukrainian national awakening challenged foreign dominance. World War I and the collapse of empires opened a brief window for Ukrainian independence, but an ensuing civil war and foreign interventions left Ukraine fragmented and under Soviet control by 1922. Under the Soviet Union era, the central government exercised tight and sometimes brutal political and economic control. One of the many negative outcomes in Ukraine was the famine-genocide in 1932–33 under Stalin (known as the Holodomor). This became an enduring and painful symbol of Soviet oppression for Ukraine. At least 3.5 million Ukrainians died, and some say it was closer to 7 million. World War II also added to the complexity and tensions, with postwar borders further entrenching Moscow’s authority over Ukrainian life. Fast-forward to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Ukraine declared independence, seeking Europe-oriented reforms and security assurances. Moscow’s reluctance to relinquish influence and Kyiv’s desire to assert sovereignty led to friction over security guarantees, energy supplies, and the status of Crimea. (Crimea is the southeast portion of Ukraine on the Black Sea.) The 2004 and 2014 uprisings in Ukraine (the Orange Revolution and the Maidan protests) crystallized a push toward European integration and further away from Moscow’s sphere of influence. Then came Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea and the resulting war in eastern Ukraine, followed by the broader invasion in 2022, which is what the world is now dealing with. Russia attempted to justify its actions, framing them as 1) protecting ethnic Russians and Russian speakers, and 2) countering NATO expansion. Ukraine frames them as illegal aggression and attacks against its sovereignty, which, of course, they are. The conflict has revived debates about history, painful interactions, security interests, and centuries of competing narratives. Although Putin is a violent and, I believe, evil man, let’s pray that he will agree to end this war and the suffering of millions of people. Let’s pray that Zelinsky and the Ukrainian people can move beyond the pain and devastation of Russia’s current aggression and, for the sake of saving many lives, be willing to negotiate a peace deal. Doing so won’t be easy when Russia is demanding some of their territory and has dealt them such pain and suffering. I’m not sure ANY peace deal will be “fair” to the Ukrainians, but the other two options may indeed be worse: their complete annihilation by Russia, or other nations entering the conflict and causing a Third World War. There may be other options I am not aware of, but the situation is certainly very complicated. Trump is a skillful negotiator. Let’s pray that God gives him wisdom and great insight as he meets with Putin. Pray with me: Father, President Trump has certainly come into the Kingdom at a precarious time in history. We believe that You have shaped and prepared him for such a time as this. Please amplify the skills You have given him and use his gifts to bring forth a breakthrough for the Ukrainian and Russian people. Give him and his team strategies that produce the outcome needed at this time. We pray that You would help the Ukrainian and Russian people recover from the incredible devastation they have suffered for these past few years. Many, many lives have been lost to both nations, and incredible damage has occurred to numerous cities and thousands of homes. War is so horrible. Use this challenging time to draw people to You, as has happened many times in history. We ask that You save millions of Ukrainians and Russians. And Father, we ask for wisdom for our government officials as they work to end crime and violence in our nation. America is reaping the fruit of great rebellion, but in Your mercy, please send an awakening and a reforming of our nation. Bring this current youth revival to greater levels very quickly, and we ask for this especially in inner cities and neighborhoods. At times, the strongholds seem insurmountable. But this is not true! You CAN save a generation, and we are asking for this. Rain down revival, we pray. All of these things we ask in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. ************************************* Click on the link below to watch the full video.

Iraq’s power play: Factions abandon US strikes for election influence Opinion & AnalysisiraqbreakingstrikesUSIran-backed groupsKurdistan regionoil fields 2025-08-15 / 09:18 Shafaq News Iran-backed armed factions in Iraq refrained from striking US military positions after Israel’s June 13 attacks on Iran, despite earlier threats to retaliate if Washington intervened, the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) reported. The think tank attributed the decision to fears of leadership assassinations, pressure from Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani’s government, and direct appeals from Tehran, noting that these groups are prioritizing political gains ahead of Iraq’s November 2025 elections while avoiding actions that could damage their standing. RUSI added that between July 2 and 28, the factions carried out a series of unclaimed drone and rocket attacks on oil infrastructure and security facilities in the Kurdistan Region, disrupting nearly half of the Region’s oil production during tense Baghdad–Erbil negotiations over exports. The strikes followed a warning from a senior aide to Iran’s Supreme Leader about a perceived US threat from northern Iraq. Tensions escalated further on July 27, when Kataib Hezbollah fighters stormed the Agriculture Directorate in Baghdad during a clash with Kataib al-Imam Ali, prompting al-Sudani days later to remove two brigade commanders linked to Kataib Hezbollah—a rare break from his cautious approach toward powerful armed factions. (Both are Iranian backed brigades). Iraq’s stability, RUSI warned, remains fragile, with these groups applying selective force to consolidate domestic influence while maintaining the capacity to operate outside state control.

An economic expert proposes amending the criteria for Iraqi banking reform. Energy and BusinessCentral Bank of Iraqbanking reform 2025-08-14 04:22 Share font Shafaq News - Baghdad On Thursday, economic expert Ahmed Abd Rabbuh called for amending the banking reform standards announced by the Central Bank of Iraq. The amendments include adding a clause allowing some banks to operate domestically under the central bank's supervision, while other banks would apply international standards if they wish to operate internationally. Abdul Rabbo told Shafaq News Agency, "Central Bank Governor Ali Al-Alaq revealed a comprehensive plan for banking reform, and he is counting on the media's important role in clarifying this issue in a transparent and accurate manner." He explained that "among the proposals submitted by specialists to the Central Bank Governor is to allow some banks to operate internally under the direct supervision of the bank, while the remaining banks apply international standards with partners such as Oliver Wyman." He pointed out that "it is important to open an expanded dialogue between the Central Bank and Iraqi banks to clarify the technical aspects of the document and discuss mechanisms for implementing reform gradually, taking into account the specificities of Iraq's economic reality. There is also a need to commit to reform in principle, while formulating standards and procedures in a manner that enhances confidence in the banking sector and contributes to its development." Abdul Rabbo pointed out the importance of adopting a participatory and consultative approach between the Central Bank and banks, through the formation of joint technical committees to review reform requirements and ensure their compatibility with the national financial and economic reality. This will maintain a balance between reform requirements and the capabilities of Iraqi banks, and ensure the protection of the interests of local and international investors and those working in the sector. It's worth noting that the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Al-Alaq, held a meeting on Tuesday with the international company Oliver Wyman to discuss the details of the banking reform plan submitted by the Iraqi Private Banks Association. This meeting is part of efforts to develop the banking sector and align it with international standards. https://shafaq.com/ar/اقتصـاد/خبير-اقتصادي-يقترح-تعديلا-في-معايير-ال-صلاح-المصرفي-العراقي

Trump, Putin talk nukes and sanctions in Alaska Summit InternationalbreakingTrumpUSRussiaPutinAlaskaNukes 2025-08-15 / 15:27 Shafaq News – Alaska / Moscow The much-anticipated summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin concluded Friday in Anchorage, Alaska, with nuclear arms control, sanctions, and the war in Ukraine topping the agenda. The leaders met at the Elmendorf–Richardson military base, beginning with a one-on-one session followed by expanded talks with senior officials from both sides. The summit opened with a photo op under a banner reading “Alaska 2025” and “Pursuing Peace,” but without any public remarks from the leaders. Speaking to Fox News immediately after the meeting, Trump confirmed that “nuclear threats must be discussed” and that nuclear treaties were part of the talks with Putin. He added that another summit could follow if the current one “goes well,” signaling his administration’s interest in sustained dialogue. Earlier, Russian state media had reported that the summit agenda would include more than just the Ukraine war. According to Russian negotiator Kirill Dmitriev, the talks also covered global strategic security and economic sanctions, while another source confirmed discussions aimed at restoring full diplomatic functions between embassies. Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov expressed confidence that US sanctions could ease, while Russia’s Ambassador to Washington, Alexander Darchiev, predicted a “positive outcome,” albeit without expecting major breakthroughs. From the European side, reactions were cautious. A senior EU official told CNN it was a “relief” that Trump and Putin didn’t meet privately for too long, calling the expanded format “a reassuring development.” Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said there were “no signals” that Russia would halt its invasion, pointing to renewed missile attacks across Ukrainian cities on the same day as the summit. The Kremlin and White House have yet to issue official joint statements, but a press conference summarizing the key outcomes is expected shortly. https://www.shafaq.com/en/World/Trump-Putin-talk-nukes-and-sanctions-in-Alaska-Summit

Popular Mobilization Forces and Important Postponed Laws... Parliament to Hold No Sessions Until Further Notice Politicsbreaking 2025-08-16 05:10 Shafaq News - Baghdad A member of the Iraqi Parliament confirmed on Saturday that there is no directive from the parliament's presidency or concrete date for resuming scheduled sessions to discuss and vote on a number of important laws, including the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) law. Independent MP Jawad al-Yasari told Shafaq News Agency, "The current situation indicates a lack of intention to hold parliamentary sessions in the near future, due to the dispute that occurred during the last session between the Speaker of Parliament and his deputy, which negatively impacted the overall work of the legislative institution." He added that "convening sessions in the coming days is unlikely, given the ongoing disputes within the parliament's leadership and the preoccupation of political bloc leaders with election campaigns." The Iraqi parliament session, held on August 13, 2025, witnessed a public dispute between Speaker Mahmoud al-Mashhadani and his first deputy, Mohsen al-Mandalawi. The latter announced that he would chair the session and deemed it legal, with 169 MPs present. Al-Mashhadani responded by declaring it invalid, asserting that he had not been authorized to do so. Al-Mandlawi stressed that the internal regulations allow him to preside over sessions in the absence of the president, leaving the final decision to the judiciary. https://www.shafaq.com/ar/سیاسة/الحشد-الشعبي-وقوانين-مهمة-م-جلة-البرلمان-بلا-جلسات-حتى-شعار-خر

Iranian FM defends Hezbollah’s arms as vital to peace Middle EastiranHezbollahLebanonAbbas Araghchi 2025-08-14 / 14:20 Shafaq News – Tehran Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi affirmed on Thursday that Tehran’s position on Lebanon and the resistance does not mean interference in the country’s internal affairs. (Really, what a ridiculous and false statement coming from Iran) In statements carried by Iranian media outlets, Araghchi described Hezbollah as a “fully independent group,” adding, “However, this position does not prevent us from expressing our views on peace in the region.” He argued that stability in the Middle East cannot be sustained “without the weapons of the resistance,” warning that no other force could contain what he described as Israel’s expansionist and hegemonic ambitions if those arms were removed. (There it is, the real reason they want Hezbollah operating in Lebanon - they hate Israel) Earlier today, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani, during his trip to Lebanon, underlined that his country does not impose decisions on resistance groups or sovereign states. He explained that Tehran shares its perspectives openly and offers counsel when invited—without coercion or imposition. The remarks coincide with growing international calls for Hezbollah to disarm. Tehran rejects the disarmament campaign as a US- and Israeli-backed initiative aimed at weakening the movement, while critics of Iran view its stance as interference in Lebanon’s internal affairs. https://www.shafaq.com/en/Middle-East/Iranian-FM-defends-Hezbollah-s-arms-as-vital-to-peace

Trump, Putin land in Alaska for high-stakes summit InternationalbreakingUSARussiaVladimir PutinDonald TrumpUkraineAlaska 2025-08-15 / 11:34 Shafaq News – Washington / Kyiv (Updated at 22:03) US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived, on Friday, at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, for the high-stakes summit. The White House confirmed that what was initially planned as a one-on-one meeting will now include advisers from both sides. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump will be joined by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff for the bilateral talks, followed by a working lunch attended by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. Earlier today, Trump warned that he would walk out of the summit if it failed to achieve tangible results. Speaking to Fox News, he said, “I think it’s going to work out very well, and if it doesn’t, I’m going to head back home real fast.” Later aboard Air Force One, Trump added, “I want to see a ceasefire rapidly… I’m not going to be happy if it’s not today. I want the killing to stop.” He stressed that his goal is to “save lives” but ruled out negotiating on Ukraine’s behalf or offering US security guarantees, warning of “punishing” consequences for Russia if the war continues. In Kyiv, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy voiced hope that the talks could pave the way for a US–Russia–Ukraine format, while acknowledging “low expectations” due to ongoing Russian strikes. “Ukraine is ready to work as productively as possible to end the war,” he said, urging a “strong American position” and asserting that “the Russians respect strength — strength alone.” According to CNN, Alaska was chosen after Russia rejected European venues because of the ICC arrest warrant for Putin. The White House dismissed his proposal of the UAE, leaving Hungary and US soil as options. Washington was reportedly surprised when Moscow accepted the US location. To facilitate the summit, the US Treasury temporarily lifted certain sanctions until August 20, allowing Putin and sanctioned aides to enter the country. https://www.shafaq.com/en/World/Trump-threatens-to-leave-Alaska-summit-if-Ukraine-ceasefire-fails

I don't think it's years down the road. It's not wrong to think it could go into next year though. 2026 will be if here before we know it!

REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON 8-15-2025 Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Mr Sammy says he thinks the mechanism they're talking about is Article 12-2c and that it is rate related for the cost of the budget. FRANK: That's exactly right IMO. And that's the way they've been hiding the new exchange rate.

Apparently dementia is more widespread than I thought 🤔 Hmmmm.

REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON 8-14-2025 Clare Article: "The Iraqi government denies allegations of its intention to devalue the dinar against the dollar" Quote: "Saleh said Iraq's exchange rate policy is a contractual one between the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Iraq, given that the reserves supporting the Iraqi dinar reinforce the external value of the currency." This means that the dinar, backed by foreign currency, comes from oil revenues. He considered the policy of devaluing the dinar to be dangerous and not easy, while the state is constantly working to raise and improve the value of the dinar, not to devalue it. 8-14-2025 Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: More nasty rumors by Iranian-backed politicians. They're saying Iraq is going to devalue the dinar to the dollar. Saleh is saying this is not true. FRANK: If they're telling you your currency is going to be devalued, then you can be rest assured...guaranteed. You can have great confidence that it is the complete opposite. They're going to add value. Exactly what they said two days ago. That's what Iranian influence does in your country. 8-14-2025 Yada Different circumstance with Vietnam than with Iraq. Vietnam economy was suppress with China controlling it. Iraq was suppressed under dictatorships but now they are the answer to the international community...they cannot stay at 1310 to 1 dollar and do all of they plan on doing for the Middle East.
