After Iran's Rial, Hormuz Claims Its Second Currency: Iraq Devalues Dinar 13% To Keep Paying Salaries
Last weekend, we noted that the clearest scorecard of the US economic war on Iran is the rial, which cratered to a record 2.7 million per dollar (the slide that we first flagged in "Iran's Deadline Expires Today"... Rial Collapses, and which has only accelerated since). Turns out Tehran has company.
On Wednesday, Iraq devalued its currency by 13%, with the central bank raising the dollar-selling price for the public to 1,520 dinars from roughly 1,320.

BRICS Steps Off The Dollar, With Iran Pressing Hardest
Authored by former CIA officer Larry Johnson
The 18th BRICS summit opened on Saturday with the bloc taking its most concrete step yet toward loosening the grip of the US dollar, adopting a 45-page New Delhi Declaration on the first day and endorsing a payments architecture built to route cross-border trade around the Western financial system. For most members the move was incremental. For Iran — under sweeping US sanctions, a naval blockade, and roughly six months into a war with the United States and Israel — it was closer to a lifeline.
The declaration and the payment rails
Leaders gathered at the Bharat Mandapam convention center adopted the New Delhi Declaration 2026 unanimously on the opening day, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi emerging from a closed session to report that no member had objected to the text.
