At Saturday's Parliament meeting, all cabinet-select names were submitted for consideration, including defense and interior ministers.

The US has allowed Iraq some "energy only" exemptions regarding the sanctions imposed against Iran. Tougher US sanctions against Iran are being discussed.

Parliament announced they will complete cabinet selections on Monday, no report was given on what they accomplished today. In order to be in compliance with the US sanctions against Iran, trading will be done with Dinars only.

One US bank source is anticipating exchange activity on Monday (as they have before, so remain calm and cautious). Time Will Tell!
