ARTICLE AD BOX
The Middle East is experiencing a historic shift.
While political drama, militias, and foreign influence continue, Trump’s strategy in Iraq is now focused on economics and financial growth, not just military intervention.
A recent article titled:
“TRUMP IS TURNING THE MIDDLE EAST EQUATION UPSIDE DOWN: IRAQ FROM A BATTLEFIELD TO THE GATEWAY TO AN AMERICAN CONTRACTING EMPIRE”
highlights a rational, business-driven approach toward the region.
Trump’s Business-Driven Policy in Iraq
Quoting from the article:
“The image of American policy in the Middle East is no longer confined to scenes of tanks, military bases, and airstrikes. It is increasingly being shaped in the halls of investment conferences, through massive arms deals, and by cross-border economic memoranda of understanding.”
The shift is clear: economic and commercial interests are now prioritized over military intervention.
Naaman Abu Issa, a member of the US Democratic Party, confirmed:
“US policy in the Middle East has witnessed a clear shift during President Trump’s term, focusing now on economic and commercial interests more than direct diplomatic or military intervention.”
Yes, even some Democrats recognize this as a Trump success story.
Global Momentum Despite Iranian Turmoil
Even with Iran in political and economic crisis, global attention on Iraq continues.
This strengthens the hope that Iranian influence in Iraq will diminish, leaving Iraqi militias with no choice but to relinquish arms — a critical step for stability.
Iraq’s Election Cycle and Political Structure
Currently:
The House of Representatives announced conditions for presidential candidacy.
The newly elected president will announce the new prime minister.
This marks the next critical step toward political and economic reform, aligning with the Trump administration’s objectives.
The 2026–2028 Securities Strategy
An article titled:
“LAUNCHING THE 2026–2028 SECURITIES STRATEGY TO TRANSFORM IRAQ INTO A REGIONAL FINANCIAL CENTER”
reveals plans to elevate Iraq’s stock market and financial sector.
Key Points:
Comprehensive digital transformation of the Iraqi Stock Exchange (ISX)
Diversification of investment tools
Deepening market liquidity
Attracting foreign investments
Enhancing transparency and investor protection
“This new securities strategy is in line with the government’s directions towards economic reform and revitalizing the financial sector.” — Faisal Al-Haimas, Head of Securities Commission
Featured Snippet: Why This Matters for the Iraqi Dinar
The strategy implies that:
Stability and security are prerequisites for investment
Currency revaluation (removal of zeros) and reinstatement may be imminent
Foreign investment will likely increase if the financial sector is reliable
In short: Iraq’s financial infrastructure is being aligned for both domestic reform and global integration.
State-Controlled Security and Investment Confidence
Earlier reporting, including “9 Economic Benefits of State-Controlled Weapons — Expert Al-Hashemi,” underscores a clear link:
“Restoring Iraqi sovereignty by eliminating loose weapons will yield significant economic gains, freeing Iraq from the grip of uncontrolled arms dealers.”
Implication: Investors are more likely to commit if the country is secure, stable, and legally governed.
Timeline and Next Steps
Reinstatement of currency and potential RV remain tied to removal of zeros, peg adjustments, and investor confidence
Political steps, including approval of a new prime minister, will align with these financial measures
The Securities Strategy (2026–2028) acts as a guideline for long-term stability
In other words: Iraq’s financial future is being mapped — and it’s tied to military neutralization, political reform, and economic revival.

Trump’s approach is clearly business-oriented.

Stability, militia neutralization, and constitutional governance will pave the way for currency reinstatement and global investment, potentially reigniting the Iraqi economy and supporting the long-awaited RV.

Lastly while on this topic, the article titled “TRUMP IS TURNING THE MIDDLE EAST EQUATION UPSIDE DOWN: IRAQ FROM A BATTLEFIELD TO THE GATEWAY TO AN AMERICAN CONTRACTING EMPIRE.” This news gives us a very rational picture of what the new Trump foreign policy towards Iraq is today. Does it surprise you, after all he was a business man. Maybe Trump is just the person we needed in the Whitehouse to get this RV moving along?
I quote from the article – A New map for Iraq. “The image of American policy in the Middle East is no longer confined to scenes of tanks, military bases, and airstrikes. It is increasingly being shaped in the halls of investment conferences, through massive arms deals, and by cross-border economic memoranda of understanding.
This shift, which has deepened during the current term of US President Donald Trump, is not only evident in the rhetoric of the White House and the reports of research centers, but is also reflected in the way American politicians speak about their country’s role in the region, particularly in Iraq.”
In a statement to Baghdad Today, Naaman Abu Issa, a member of the US Democratic Party, put this shift in a direct way, saying that US policy in the Middle East has witnessed “a clear shift during President Trump’s term,” noting that the focus is now on economic and commercial interests more than direct diplomatic or military intervention. Is this democrat admitting a Trump success? Oh… WOW!
What else is in the news?
Meanwhile in the midst of all this Iranian drama taking place the rest of the world is still moving ahead with Iraq and this give me hope and almost certainty that all will work out with this Iranian influence, as radical Islamic influence will most likely be gone or lessened when the currency regime falls. These Iraqi militias may have no choice but to surrender their arms.
Where do they stand in the election cycle? The House of Representatives announced on Wednesday the conditions for candidacy for the position of President of the Republic. Remember that it is the newly elected president that will announce the new prime minister.
Next, we find that the reforms continue in Iraq in spite of the political drama in article titled “LAUNCHING THE 2026–2028 SECURITIES STRATEGY TO TRANSFORM IRAQ INTO A REGIONAL FINANCIAL CENTER”. On Monday, the head of the Securities Commission, Faisal Al-Haimas, announced the imminent launch of the commission’s strategy for the years 2026–2028, in a move aimed at transforming the Iraqi stock market into a leading regional financial center. He stressed that this strategy is in line with the government’s directions towards economic reform and revitalizing the financial sector, indicating that the Authority will work to implement its phases according to well-studied timetables and in cooperation with local and international partners in order to ensure a qualitative leap in the performance of the Iraqi financial market.
Can you already see where I am going to go with this news? I will give you a hint…’securities strategy’. What direct implications can this strategy have on the Iraqi dinar? Remember these ‘Pillars of Financial Reform”? Here is the stock market again. What is traded on the Iraqi Stock Exchange (ISX)? Is it just the ISX trading? Of course, it could mean the Iraqi dinar is traded once again on the currency exchanges with the big boys. Could this also be part of this new strategy?
On Monday, the head of the Securities Commission, Faisal Al-Haimas, announced the imminent launch of the commission’s strategy for the years 2026–2028, in a move aimed at transforming the Iraqi stock market into a leading regional financial center.
Al-Humeis explained in a statement today that the new strategy is based on comprehensive digital transformation, diversifying investment tools, deepening liquidity, attracting foreign investments, in addition to enhancing transparency and protecting investors’ rights. So, tell me how are they going to attract foreign investments with a currency rate of 1320? Seems to me if they could they would not need this strategy, now, would they? Investors would be pouring in already. But they are not and so why? Today in one of our articles we learn about nine (9) economic benefits of state-controlled weapons by expert al-Hashemi. He seems to emphasize that investors are more prone to invest in stable and secure countries not countries where an incident could set off a barrage of gun fire or explosives at any time. So again, we see that peace and stability are needed in Iraq and maybe this ‘lack of’ is what has also hindered the investment flow for many of these projects in the first place.
He stressed that “this new securities strategy is in line with the government’s directions towards economic reform and revitalizing the financial sector, indicating that the Authority will work to implement its phases according to well-studied timetables and in cooperation with local and international partners in order to ensure a qualitative leap in the performance of the Iraqi financial market.”
Oh… here we have a plan again with timetables? I just want to add that along the way, at some time they will have to pull the trigger on the reinstatement project and get it done for any real revitalization of the financial sector to be successful. Who are they kidding? Of course, they are kidding no one and actually came out in recent months and outlined the entire plan for us all to see. It states first the removal of the zeros which leads to a revaluation and then a new peg and reinstatement. Enough said….
