With a bit of luck . .. Joe will completely loose his marbles and agree they can increase the rate of the dinar and return to the forex. WE CAN BUT HOPE

Good stuff! Progress. .

I read earlier they have postponed the vote. Another reason why they will never fully integrate with western society. None of the middle Eastern countries will because they will never diversify their beliefs and culture enough to accept people who are of any persuasion other than heterosexual. Sadly many of them are *** or bisexuality and they end up living a lie.

@NWGUY.. agreed. It would be great to make enough to be able to say " I don't need to work if I don't want to" but if it is only to be a smallish profit then there is not a lot we can do about it. We move on and look at other options to make what we have grow.

At this point, despite all our dreams and plans, if we make enough to pay off debts and go on living we will have done well from something we were never meant to know about.

(Photo: Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images) COMMENTARY BY Nicole Robinson@NRobinson1297 Nicole Robinson is a senior research associate in the Allison Center for Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation. While Israel decides its next steps in responding to Iran’s unprecedented attack over the weekend, the White House welcomed Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani. His visit took place Monday in the Oval Office, where he sat down with President Joe Biden to discuss the U.S. mission in Iraq. Unfortunately, this invitation to Washington only rewards al-Sudani and his Iranian backers, while alienating key partners in the region. House and Senate Republicans are not happy about the visit. In a March 28 letter to Biden, lawmakers called out the administration for inviting al-Sudani, stating that, “the Iraqi government provides some $3 billion per year to the Iran-backed Popular Mobilization Forces militias, including four U.S.-designated terrorist groups.” Since Oct. 7, these proxies have targeted American troops more than 165 times in retaliation for its support of Israel. One of those attacks tragically killed four U.S. servicemen and injured 40 others on the Jordanian border with Syria on Jan. 28. With the U.S. presidential election in November, Biden will look to al-Sudani to contain Iranian-proxy attacks against U.S. troops. The problem is that al-Sudani has no control over Iran-backed factions because they don’t answer to him. They answer to Iran. Two days after the Jan. 28 attack in Jordan that killed four U.S. troops, Iran-backed Kataib Hezbollah said that it would suspend its attacks on U.S. bases “in order to prevent embarrassment to the Iraqi government.” This action was only after a visit to Baghdad by Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps leader Ismail Qaani. While al-Sudani treads carefully to not upset his Iranian backers, the Iraqi government is doing everything it can to consolidate power over all of Iraq in Baghdad. Over the past year, the federal courts in Iraq have slowly chipped away at Kurdish political control over the autonomous Kurdish region in northern Iraq. In separate rulings, the court reduced the number of parliamentary seats for the Kurds, blocked the Kurdish export of oil via the Iraq-Turkey pipeline, and withheld public sector salaries in the north. The Iraqi Kurds are close U.S. partners that host the majority of the 2,500 U.S. troops stationed in Iraq as part of the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS. While the Biden administration has made statements of support, Biden didn’t meet with Masrour Barzani, prime minister of the autonomous Kurdish Region, during his February visit to Washington. The Kurds’ cooperation with the U.S. has made them a target for Iran and its proxies. In the past year, Irbil has faced a barrage of missile and drone attacks by Iranian proxies, including a ballistic missile attack in January that killed four civilians and injured six others. The Kurds are not the only target for Baghdad. The Iraqi government has also cracked down on Christian groups. Last July, Iraq’s president effectively removed the top Christian leader in Iraq in order to hand over the church’s extensive property holdings to an Iranian backed militia leader, one the U.S. sanctioned in 2019. While Iran gains ground in Iraq, the Biden administration turns a blind eye because it’s desperate to keep the situation calm. Knowing this, al-Sudani was likely to drive a hard bargain in Washington. The three issues at the top of the agenda were expected to be U.S. troop presence, U.S. basing, and U.S. sanctions. On Feb. 2, the U.S. military carried out a series of strikes in Syria and Iraq in response to the Jan. 28 attack in Jordan, reigniting long-standing calls in Baghdad for the withdrawal of U.S. troops. Characterizing the strike as a “blatant aggression” that violates Iraqi sovereignty, al-Sudani will use the visit to put pressure on the Biden administration to set a timeline for an eventual U.S. exit. Al-Sudani may also have asked the Biden administration to ease sanctions on blacklisted Iraqi banks. Those sanctions were triggered when 14 Iraqi banks were caught last year siphoning off U.S. currency and channeling those funds to Iran, Syria, and Russia. Conceding to the demands would grant more financial power to Iran at a critical time in the region. It’s clear that al-Sudani and the Iraqi government in Baghdad are not good-faith partners for the United States, but are only political puppets that sit atop an Iranian money-laundering operation. Yet, Iraq’s entire economy is propped up by the stability of its currency being tied to the U.S. dollar. The Iraqi government has more than $100 billion in reserves in the United States from oil revenues and relies on Washington to access those funds. The U.S. also provides billions of dollars of aid: Since 2014, Congress has appropriated more than $7.7 billion to train and equip Iraqi forces and an additional $13.9 billion in foreign assistance. Inviting al-Sudani to the White House will only spell more trouble for the Biden administration and will do nothing to address the true threat to the region—which is Iran. The administration should focus on strengthening its partnership with the Kurds in Irbil and use its monetary leverage to punish Baghdad’s complicity in Iran’s regional pressure campaign.

Oh I totally agree that will happen in some shape or form. I just pray for you all that Trump can pull it off for you all

Pretty sure a mental health facility is calling me for treatment for myself about now. How somebody can make it all about what they want in something so unpredictable as this is beyond me. No though for the citizens. No thought for what it takes to get as far as they are. No awareness of just how volatile that region is and but , but the rate is only 1310..... And what? they could leave the rate there forever and still gradually prosper

@cutter73 so glad you are entertain buddy.

Dear God... when will you understand we , us dinar holders, are NOT the priority in this! IF WE EVEN GET BACK WHAT WE PUT IN WE ARE DOING WELL. Anything else is a bonus. What we want will never be taken into consideration. Somebody save me from this clown who has no ability to comprehend!!! Iraq is not about us small man in the street investors

@NWGUY. agreed . Nothing will happen or be announced until he is back. No American bank or UST will announce this. It will come from AL SUDANI AND THE CBI GOVERNOR! Anybody who believe the gurus needs treatment.

Pimpy Iraq is right on track to do some great things.They're going to continue to do that. Let's get this coalition forces out of there plus the United States military, which is why I think Al-Sudani is coming over here to talk to the president to see about getting these people out of there and leaving Iraq on it's own devices. We'll see what happens from there. This clown is becoming worse than frankie , Mark z or tnt! He needs to get an education about this investment, politics and economics to start with. He doesn't know Jack. One minute it is a lop . Then it is a re denomination . Then we are going to make millions . Then the 3 zeros are coming off the rate , oh no wait it is off the currency or maybe both.! Any body who listens and believes this eejit is gonna need detained under mental health before anything actually happens! Pimpy needs to shut up.

Confused.com.... how can they blame.e him when his is not officially the president? @Luigi1 & @ronscarpa I have to say the article I read this morning about the dwms planning to rig the election again was interesting and I can see how that could happen. Hopefully, Donald is aware of the plan

Wouldn't surprise me if he did. Anything to make Trump look bad.

@NWGUY... agreed

Maybe scare mongering ro get people to sell up??

Plus the government gives out food and meat rations to help them. And in the remote areas many are not well educated so finding employment would be difficult. But also many have lived like this for generations , so normal life for them. Not everybody in non western societies want money and fast cars

Who has an uncontrollable urge ?

Yes it is but not all off them are in poverty. There are advantages to keeping their rate low

Been to Iraq recently have you...? No didn't think so. All you are able to say is but the the rate is only 1310?? Dry your eyes and learn something. We all want a rate change but we don't constantly harp on about it. All u do is laugh at posts regardless of whether it furthers our knowledge or not.

Have you ever thought that it could do if they implement the agreement?! Just because a currency is not valued where ours is does not mean the people of that country are not prosperous!

Breaking News Two Iraqi ministries approve a plan to eradicate landmines in the country by 2028 Iraqi parliament to amend election law ahead of potential early polls: lawmaker KurdistanIraqiElection 2024-04-15 14:20 Font Shafaq News/ The Iraqi parliament will soon revise the election law in a bid to lay groundwork for potential early elections, Lawmaker Yasser al-Husseini, leader of al-Amal parliamentary bloc, revealed on Monday. Al-Yassiri hinted at what he called "a movement" within the parliament to collect signatures from lawmakers who approve amending the election law and holding a early elections in the country. "Many blocs have demanded amending the election law," he said. "However, each bloc seeks the amendments that suits its political preferences. Some advocate for reinstating multi-districts, while others call for abolishing the Sainte-Laguë system." "Some lawmakers demand that public officials should resign from their jobs six months prior to the election if they seek to take part," he continued ."The amendments had been submitted to the parliament's presidency, yet there has been no response, and it remains undiscussed in the Council." The legislative elections held in Iraq in 2021 were conducted earlier than scheduled, following extensive protests in October 2019, subsequent to the ousting of the previous government led by Adel Abdul Mahdi. The outcomes of the recent elections resulted in the Coordination Framework assuming governance, following Muqtada al-Sadr's withdrawal. Subsequently, a second round of early elections was anticipated, yet the incumbent government has persisted since. With approximately a year remaining in its fifth term, many politicians, notably those aligned with the Coordination Framework, have called for preparations for early parliamentary elections, citing "al-Sadr's inclination towards them." Earlier this month, Shiite Cleric Muqtada al-Sadr rebranded his party as the "Shiite National Movement," a development corroborated by a senior figure within the movement. This move, the source confirmed, reflects al-Sadr's endeavors towards "popular bases and the guidance of former Sadrist lawmaker
