Tony’s Monologue: Things are as confusing today as it ever was. Not a lot of news out of Iraq today other than procedures for the country and rules they are going to vote on. Again, Iraq is done, they have done everything they need to do, and are in the same position that we are in. That is we are all waiting for someone to flip the switch. Everyone is saying they have a deal until it comes time to flip the switch. It seems they are playing negotiating games. The ceasefire deal did not go through again today. Didn’t go through this morning. There are two groups working on it with blinken and the second group is working on it too. Two people vetoed it, Russia and China. There is another country that abstained and one that said no. Tony wonders why those two countries would veto the deal. Believe it or not they said it didn’t include a ceasefire and aid. The other group is meeting right now. The people that are involved in that group said they had a deal put together yesterday. Now we know why the UN didn’t agree to it. Today, Hamas is trying to change the deal. So, we are here again. As of today, and this moment, Tony is getting information that the banks are waiting for it to go today. They are down on the totem pole though. They are getting their people ready after 4pm today. If the second group makes a deal it could go through. The second group has declared that they will go through without the UN if they can’t make a deal. Tony can’t tell us with absolute certainty that it will go but we are that close. As it has always been said it would be absolute chaos when we get to the end. Iraq is held hostage in the middle of this. We know the rates are coming out. Sudani has told the people about a rate of 1.32. They are trying to force the hand to make this happen. No bad news and we will see what happens here in a couple of hours.

Wrap Up: The Iraqi foreign minister is here today going over the currency, the military withdrawal, and the banking system. This is the same as what Sudani will do on the 15th of April. Tony is not looking for anything until after 4pm. He will be looking for something over the weekend.
