2/5/2026

 The US State Department revealed on Thursday evening a firm and strongly worded position regarding the upcoming political alliances map in Iraq, stressing that the US administration is prepared to use “a full range of tools” to ensure the implementation of President Donald Trump’s vision regarding the Iraqi issue.

In a special and exclusive response to Shafaq News Agency, the US State Department spokesperson conveyed a direct warning against repeating past governance scenarios, indicating that current US policy requires an Iraqi government capable of working “effectively and respectfully” with the United States.

The State Department spokesman also relayed President Trump’s warning, which read: “The last time Maliki was in power, the country slid into poverty and chaos… That should not be allowed to happen again.”

The American response continued, quoting Trump, that the policies and ideologies he described as “crazy” would lead, if Maliki were re-elected, to a complete cutoff of American aid, warning that “if the United States is not there to help, Iraq will have no chance of success, prosperity, or freedom.”

The State Department spokesman concluded by saying, “We have clearly communicated these intentions to the Iraqi political leadership,” stressing that Washington is prepared to use “the full range of tools” to enforce this policy and prevent a repeat of governance experiences that harm common interests.   LINK

Clare:  Al-Karawi: Trump’s rejection of Maliki confirms the existence of another figure he supports for the presidency.

 2/6/2026  Information/Baghdad…

Hussein al-Karawi, head of the Coordinating Committee for the Popular Movement for the Belt and Road Initiative, asserted that Trump’s rejection of Maliki confirms the existence of another figure he supports for the position, noting that the scenario of rejecting Maliki may have been pre-planned.

Al-Karawi told Al-Maalouma, “The American president tweeted his rejection of Maliki’s presence in power, and this confirms that there is a figure supported by America for the premiership, in order to make him a tool for achieving its interests in Iraq.”

He added, “America seeks to bring in a prime minister who will lead Iraq towards the normalization project with the Zionist entity,” indicating that “al-Sudani may have conceded to Maliki because he knows there is an American veto on Maliki’s return to power.”

He explained that “it is not unlikely that there is an agreement between Al-Sudani and the American envoy to Iraq to pave the way for Maliki’s candidacy and then bring in the American veto against him assuming power as head of the new government.”   LINK

Militia Man   This is the execution phase of the private sector.  It is the backbone of the strategy.  The gatekeepers are pleased… World Bank, IFC doesn’t move…unless the IM, BIS, and the US Treasury are on board.  Their risk teams have done the homework.  Reserves are strong, inflation crushed, digital infrastructure is live…political continuity likely.  This is measured endorsement in action…Gatekeepers are scaling up when reforms prove real…They’re ready to go…Now the money is flowing…This is reality.  Iraq’s future is bright.  Gatekeepers are pleased.

Jeff  The overall elections right now…they’re not telling you the truth…They’re saying Maliki’s in, Maliki’s out, Sudani’s still in running, Sudani’s out. They’re all over the board right now…We have to give it time and be patient…because the rate is not going to change till after the government is formed.

Frank26  Question: “Is it a remote possibility that Mark Savaya could be named Prime Minister?”  Mark is Iraqi…It should be Mark Savaya.  I don’t know if it’s going to be…My teams feel that of all the people we can consider, Mark Savaya would be the right one especially IOO Donald Trump groomed Mark for what is happening in Iraq as we speak…I think [Iraqis] would accept him with open arms because they know him.  They know him well.  Trump is smart.  He puts the right people in the right places.
