Leaks of talks to dismantle Iran-backed militias; The path to Dinar Revaluation.

Added: 2026-05-07

[00:00:00]Hello. Welcome to Dinar in Depth, where we discuss geopolitical events and their impact on a potential Iraqi Dinar revaluation. As always, this channel is not financial advice. We are here for entertainment purposes and discussion purposes only.

[00:00:19]Let's get to it. Today, we have a flashpoint topic. Let's talk about the militias in Iraq backed by Iran.

[00:00:29]Militia disarmament and integration remains a really contentious high-stakes internal issue for Al-Zaidi as he forms this new government. So, what is going to happen? What is his proposed solution to the Iran-backed militias as a Shiite nominee?

[00:00:52]A senior Coordination Framework source reported that Zaidi has privately informed block leaders of the importance of cooperating on reshaping the armed landscape to avoid uncertain scenarios with Washington that could harm Iraq economically.

[00:01:13]He reportedly views it as necessary for government success, but emphasizes that disarming, integrating, or dismantling requires a defined timeframe, legal and security mechanisms, and cannot be done overnight. This is according to New Arab.

[00:01:33]This man is really walking a tightrope.

[00:01:37]As we know, Iran and the United States both exert pressure on Iraq and the governance. And we are at a point where pretty soon, the head could be cut off the snake.

[00:01:51]Iran is weakened.

[00:01:54]Hopefully, that regime we will see hobbled. The good people of Iran certainly deserve so much better.

[00:02:02]But where does that leave Iraq?

[00:02:05]This prime minister designate is a smart man.

[00:02:10]I will not be convinced that he is going to mess up this glowing welcome from the US president to keep the status quo, which is failing.

[00:02:23]The status quo is not working for the people of Iraq.

[00:02:28]And Iran is falling.

[00:02:31]It's also reported by New Arab that some Framework members reject external dictates on sovereignty, complicating his room to maneuver.

[00:02:42]Convince me that a self-made millionaire of 40 years old who is a business tycoon, has built an empire, and just elected prime minister designate, tell me, convince me that he will capitulate to a dying regime.

[00:03:00]I don't think so.

[00:03:02]In this battle of influence between Iran and Washington, my money is on Washington. Now, he's going to walk a tightrope while he's building this new government.

[00:03:16]He has to get this government passed or he will not be the prime minister.

[00:03:19]That's how it works. We all know that.

[00:03:22]I don't think we'll hear anything public concerning his plans for demilitarization with these militia groups until that government is formed and he is installed as the prime minister.

[00:03:35]Then I think we're going to see that change. Stability cannot happen with these militia groups running a parallel economy and running funds to Tehran and terrorizing the people of Iraq. This man has an opportunity to pull Iraq from the ashes and leave his mark.

[00:03:55]I don't think his loyalty is going to be with a dying Iranian regime.

[00:04:01]I could be wrong, but I don't think so. Washington has intensified pressure, holding back $500 of proceeds from Iraq oil sales held currently at the New York Fed.

[00:04:14]This is explicitly tied to demands for disarming, demobilizing, and reintegrating parts of the militias so they fully answer to the Iraqi prime minister and state institutions.

[00:04:27]This is a line in the sand.

[00:04:30]They will not have United States support if this condition is not met, and the prime minister designate knows it.

[00:04:37]He's talking about setting dates for reintegration. Hezbollah faction is fighting back.

[00:04:44]This is going to be a major challenge for Al-Zaidi.

[00:04:50]PMF factions control banks and businesses and construction firms. They have an entire economy that lacks oversight from Iraq. Progress will probably be gradual.

[00:05:08]I think where this is concerned. I don't think this will happen overnight.

[00:05:13]But I think there is intent. Zaidi wants the cooperation and the support of the United States government.

[00:05:22]As I said before, he's really got to be a diplomat right now and balance interests. He needs to get pushed through. He's not in yet. Physical US dollar shipments are critical for Iraq to meet their cash-based economy needs.

[00:05:39]They're in trouble without that right now. They're in trouble.

[00:05:43]The CBI has long-term goals of dinarization.

[00:05:47]They want to de-dollarize, but they need investor trust and better global standing in order to do this.

[00:05:56]A more sovereign, less militia-influenced environment will encourage confidence in their government. Can it be done?

[00:06:07]And I think it can be done over time. I don't think it's an overnight solution.

[00:06:11]Zaidi's 30-day window is really short. I don't anticipate a breakthrough in the next 30 days. Of course, I could be wrong. I think we need to allow him to form this government and then wait to hear what he has to say. We keep our eyes on Iran.

[00:06:29]I think we have to wait for that situation to resolve before we see any big moves economically in Iraq. But I I think they're coming. I'm optimistic. I really like this prime minister designate pick, as I said in earlier videos.

[00:06:46]Let me know what you think. What are your thoughts on Zaidi's stance on the demilitarization of the militias? Do you think he'll follow through? Do you think he's full of it? Again, focus on facts and not rumors. Thanks for being here.

[00:07:02]We'll see you next time on Dinar in Depth.
