Hi Majeed, thanks for posting this clip of my interview from last Monday evening, May 18th, 2026 in Baghdad. To put things into context, this episode of the program was called: "Iraq, an economy with no identity" and as a former senior economist at the Iraqi prime minister's office, I was invited to be a guest in the televised program. In 2019, I participated with a number of economists in writing an plan we called: IRAQ ECONOMIC REVIVAL PROGRAM. What I referred to, in the interview were various recommendations made to revive the economy, one of which is to scrap the current Iraqi currency IQD and replace it with a new currency, let's call it NIQD, which will be pegged to the USD, similar to the SAR, AED, KWD and JOD. The rate suggested is USD 1 = 1 NIQD. If the current government of Iraq adopts this recommendation, and the USG agrees to it, the CBI will have to work with the USDT to implement this idea. Depending on how assertive they are, it could be completed in three months. Once completed, the CBI will announce that people holding the old IQD can exchange it with the NIQD at market rate. For example, today's rate is USD 1 = 1,500 IQD and if the CBI were to issue the new currency today, the exchange rate will be NIQD 1 = 1,500 IQD. I hope it is clearer now. Here's the link to the entire one hour episode: x.com/MazinAlEshaike…

@MazinAlEshaiker on Iraq TV yesterday Said “ I have met with the federal reserve and I told them about pegging the Iraqi dinar into US dollar, meaning 1:1 and they agreed that it is a smart idea and they will do that in 3 months” I don’t know when he met with them so we can know when the 3 months would expire

This is disappointing. JD Vance attacks Thomas Massie, claiming he always votes against “the party” and he did it at a Turning Point event of all places. 1. Charlie Kirk supported Thomas Massie and would have been opposed to Trump primarying him with Israel funding. 2. Massie votes against “the party” when the party is trying to pass BAD America Last legislation like funding foreign wars, protecting poisons like glyphosate and covid vaccines, violating our second amendment, hurting small farmers and small businesses and creators with patents, and empowering the surveillance state. 3. Thomas Massie is not the problem. “The Party” is the problem. And demanding loyalty to “the party” is the most repulsive cult behavior we’ve ever seen in American politics. x.com/21WIRE/status/…
