Iran challenges petrodollar, demanding oil be sold in Chinese yuan, not US dollars

In response to the US-Israeli war, Iran shut down the Strait of Hormuz, the most important oil chokepoint on Earth. However, Tehran is allowing Chinese tankers through, and says other ships can pass if they agree to sell oil in China’s currency, the renminbi (aka yuan).

Ben Norton explains how this war affects the petrodollar system, and the dominance of the dollar as the global reserve currency.

  • Let’s think for a minute. Can you believe if US was the one that has so much power on this straight of Hormuz. Can you believe if this type of straight was located by the United States. The US would use that to make the world worship it. Iran has never done that. Everything was going very smoothly, until the bully came to the picture
