🧠 Paying for the War & RV Mechanisms: Highlights

🏛️ No “Zero‑Note Swap” — Those Are Just Rumors

Some “intel gurus” claim the U.S. will exchange “three‑zero notes” from Treasury reserves to pay for the war. That’s not credible. The amount of dinar needing exchange is too massive, and that mechanism has never been viable.

🛢️ Oil Credits = The Real Mechanism

The likely method to finance exchanges and settle obligations is via oil credits. The U.S. would front the capital, and Iraq would repay via discounted oil delivered over time.
➡️ This ties the exchange mechanism to oil export capacity and agreements.
➡️ The recent tripartite agreement (Baghdad, Kurdistan, oil companies) is central to enabling these oil flows.

⏳ Long Timeline & Phased Effects

This isn’t a quick fix — the rollout must be gradual:

The full impact (like lower gas prices in the U.S.) may not be seen until mid‑2026 or later
Iraq must first absorb sufficient dinars via exchanges to maintain currency stability
The Oil & Gas Law (HCL) must be passed to legally solidify these resource flows and authority

⚖️ Politics, Agreements & Legal Constraints

Baghdad has long pushed the KRG to transfer oil outputs to the federal system.
Some contracts signed by the Kurdistan region (e.g. with U.S. firms) were declared unconstitutional by Iraq’s central government. AGBI+1
Iraq has also taken legal action against KRG for continued oil smuggling. Reuters+1
The Oil & Gas Law has been drafted repeatedly over nearly two decades but never passed, largely due to political divisions. Channel8

💥 Key Takeaways

❌ The “U.S. swapping zero‐notes from Treasury reserves” narrative is not credible.
🛢 The real mechanism involves oil credits and sustained oil exports under new agreements.
📅 Full effects likely won’t be visible until 2026 or later.
🏛 The passage of the Oil & Gas Law is still crucial to legally enforce these arrangements.
📈 The recent pipeline restart and export agreements support the feasibility of the credit‐backed model.
