Not so Iran can make more money…it’s for Russia to make more money, duh. Almost everything he does benefits Russia. It’s so blatantly obvious, too. Russia has some real good shit on this clown.
“Israel and/or Russia first”
Jerry Seinfeld is a twat
A Zionist twat. Hope terrible things happen to him.
It’s not so Iran can make more money, it’s for Russia. Also it helped distract us from the fact that indicted bibi is continuing with a 2nd genocide for his Greater Israel sideproject.
ART OF THE DEAL BABY
Actually yes, because this allows him to regroup, move slow moving carrier groups into position and secure oil supplies/put measures in place to keep at least Red Sea/Suez open when he continues it. Possibly also see who at CENTCOM has been reluctant to carry out war crimes, and do some more replacements there.
I can’t believe how people are falling for it, every time he pumps and dumps. This isn’t going to stop. It will only get worse. One guy is a blackmailed pedophile with demential and the biggest nuclear arsenal, the other is a criminal delusional religious radical who would rather die, than give up this Greater Israel crusade.
I’ll be another few years before we get to Christmas.
it’s for Russia
Americans shitting the bed in the Middle East every day for fifty years
“Yeah, uh, actually that was Russia. Russia did that.”
They aren’t charging $2mill. They are charging ¥2mil or crypto equivalent. They are intentionally demolishing the Petrodollar.
More power to them.
They are intention demolishing the Petrodollar.
I think Climate Change and explosion of alternative energy sources is doing that.
They’re just trying to evade Western financial restrictions. Dollars aren’t useful to a country that’s cut out of the LIBOR and SWIFT banking systems.
It’s not just about how useful the dollar is to Iran, it’s about making it less useful to other countries also.
If Iranian oil is back on the market there will be a lot of interested buyers. If it’s only sold in yuan or crypto.
The petrodollar wasn’t going to last forever youre right but there are many parties interested in ending it sooner than later.
It’s not just about how useful the dollar is to Iran, it’s about making it less useful to other countries also.
For Iran, specifically, there’s no incentive to accept reparations payments in a currency they can’t easily collect or exchange. Yuan makes sense, because China is one of their biggest trading partners. Bitcoins make sense because they’re easy to launder and can be transferred independent of the NATO-based financial systems.

It’s more Qatari and Kuwaiti oil at issue. Iranians are just rent-seeking off the most expedient shipping lane.

The petrodollar is arbitrage between Middle Eastern raw materials and the western banking system. It could move to the PetroEuro without a meaningful change in foreign policies. Or the PetroLoonie or PetroPound for that matter. All of these countries are in agreement that the Persian Gulf states need to play a secondary role in the global economy.
What Iranians are hoping to change isn’t the primary currency of the region, but the balance of power between US/EU colonizers and local people.
The very act of securing the Straight and collecting rent on passage is a huge step in that direction, regardless of what currency they collect their fees in. It’s a material change, not just an accounting shift.
Agreed thanks for the insights.
2mil yuan is roughly 292k dollars. No idea how much that is compared to other shipping costs
Oh, don’t forget that now the oil that actually gets through is being traded in yuan and RMB instead of USD, so now the petrodollar is starting to slip away, which is the only reason the dollar can keep it’s strength because it leverages every other countries energy budget to contribute to US GDP.
This was true weapons-grade stupidity for that stable genius.
He thinks he’s going to be taking a chunk of those fees. Dumbass.
Given his understanding of tariffs, this would not surprise me at all
Imagine if they actually had nukes…maybe the toll is not so bad??? I’m so confused.
One can imagine that being told “a civilization will die tonight” will act as motivation for them to get one.
I recall a political cartoon back when Gaddafi was killed, it was Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (then president of Iran) and Kim Jong Un watching the bombing of Lybia under USA flag, with one asking “What message do you get from this?”, and the other replying “Build more nukes!”
So true…I guess Ukraine did not get the memo.
11D chess. He’s going to turn Iran into another stupid rich petrostate full of corrupt plutocrats.
Iran is going to be another Hong Kong or Singapore by the end of the century.
