Iran is Creating a New Oil Trade System Without the US Dollar

[HyperCodexV]

Iran has long been trying to sell its oil without using the US dollar. Because of sanctions and political pressure, the country has been looking for other ways to trade oil with partners like China and others. This war has given them the perfect opportunity to push that strategy further without scrutiny. By using a selective passage policy, Iran appears to be applying a divide and conquer approach in real time. Some countries like China, India and parts of Europe may still get access to oil routes, while the US and Israel face more restrictions. I guess this is the act of Strait of Hormuz, not the act of the deal.

If this continues, it could create a 2-tier global economy. One group of countries may receive oil at discounted prices, while another group may have to pay premium prices or look for alternative sources. There is also a historical parallel with the 1956 Suez Crisis, when Britain and France were excluded and new trade routes later became permanent. Something similar could happen again if new oil trading systems start to form.

Another flip side to this is that more oil trades could begin settling in Chinese yuan instead of US dollars, which could slowly weaken the influence of the petrodollar system. I think the United States fell into a big trap by not thinking this war through before engaging in it.

This is the most serious threat to the petrodollar. The attack on the oil countries (Venezuela, Iran) was carried out by the United States just to prolong the existence of the petrodollar and the modern financial system. If a fairly large part of the oil is sold for yuan, this destroys the dollar's monopoly. That is, it undermines the basis of the well-being of the United States. To save its crumbling world domination, the United States is capable of using nuclear weapons. Moreover, the United States has already done this twice against Japan.

Don't know how effective would that be since gulf countries are channeling the oil to port yanbu in the red sea.
Try to take a look at marine traffic and you'd notice that ships are being rerouted to the red sea.

How can a human being with conscience say something like using nuclear weapons on Iran, do you think Russia and China will let them go free if they retire to such devilish means, this is a crazy idea to write. It is not as if the dollar is stronger than gold or bitcoin. The United States has used the same means to kill those who go against the dollar attempting de-dollarization. Libya, Iraq, Venezuela and now Iran are all the very reason for these attacks. Iran is attacking the dollar finely.

Do you think Trump is not capable of this? And I think he's very capable of using nuclear weapons. Especially if he starts losing the war. Or do you think that a person who was at least friends with the regulars of Epstein's Island (who ate babies) would be very remorseful if he killed millions of people? Doubtful.

What difference does that make with the current destabilisation going on in their country? Iran must hate the USA and USD further, I understand, but this changes nothing.

This war has given them the perfect opportunity to push that strategy further without scrutiny.

As a sovereign nation, what were they afraid of? They were free to have bilateral relationships with the country of their choice, war or not. Some countries have done this long before them, including a G20 country like South Africa. Iran is also a BRICS member, so they have all rights.

I also read some rumor that the United States is planning to use nuclear weapon in a war. But I think it is just fake news, or maybe a psychological tactic or information manipulation aimed at putting pressure on the opponent. Because the use of nuclear weapons is too extreme and the consequences are unpredictable. That could lead to WWIII, and the United States might not survive if nuclear war broke out. I believe they are aware of that as well.

Iran is playing its cards by only allowing ships that are not from the US, Israel, or their allies to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Or only oil tanker paid for in Chinese yuan would be allowed to pass through the strait. These are very clever strategies, but it is still too early to say that they truly threaten the petrodollar empire.

Do you think Trump is not capable of this? And I think he's very capable of using nuclear weapons. Especially if he starts losing the war.

If he uses nuclear weapons, it would only further demonstrate how disastrously the United States has failed in the war. And the use of nuclear weapons would be considered the most cowardly and despicable act.

Personally, I do not believe he would dare use nuclear weapon. Because once that happens, the consequences will be extremely serious, not only for Iran but also for its Gulf allies and the United States itself. I also do not think America's Gulf allies would let him do that.

Nuclear weapons are not something to be used indiscriminately.

[HelliumZ]

Yes, that's what I heard. In the event that China introduces the yuan currency instead of the US dollar and opens the way for oil, it has decided to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, keeping China under complete control. However, even in the midst of war, the Strait of Hormuz has sufficient connectivity with various countries around the world, and Iran will not block countries that import oil in Chinese currency.


It remains to be seen whether the Russian currency ruble will be added later.

Then I would say he is stupidest Leader ever. History already knows the aftermath of Nuclear war heads. With the current global position, most of the leading countries got this and it would be disaster if anyone of them use it.

It wont end the war, it will start another one.

Then it wont be for Oil or Sea route, it would be for saving our lives. Isn't funny man.

At least we can say that they are trying to threaten the petrodollar, for them it’s simply everything they have against anything that will be of benefits to the US. Yes I know the impact is not going to be easily felt of this but at least they are seeing to be fighting back and not backing down. Personally I think it would be just a small impact because this is where 20% of the oil passes only and not the entirety of the oil.

As for Trump retaliation I do think he can not use his nuclear weapon in this war because of many reasons but purposely because of the reason he is fighting this war.
