  1. Wonder how many countries will comply with this? If several get on board this could get interesting

  2. 1 Yuan = .14 of a dollar. If it goes much higher than that the Chinese export market will collapse. Yuan is a worthless currency on purpose, can’t see China wanting to change that.

    Expected.

    The Iranians have figured out that regardless of whatever is bombed they have a stranglehold on the strait. The US cant stop them without boots on the ground. So unless that happens the strait just became part of Irans territorial waters.

    If Trump chickens out or doesn’t completely end the regime this will be the new norm and Iran will have huge leverage on the global economy. If Trump sends troops in it will be another decades long bloodbath. There isn’t a win scenario here for the US.

  4. The destruction of the US dollar will be the biggest legacy of Trump, assuming it’s not the destruction of democracy.

  5. Uh…Wouldn’t this be GOOD for countries like South Korea? The won to dollar exchange rate is awful. It’s probably cheaper to trade in yuan lol

    Loss of reserve currency status is what, like stage 5 of 7 in the empire collapse model right?

  7. The actual cargo from all ports must be traded in yuan? Or they are charging a passage fee in yuan?

    I heard they’re changing the name to BRICUS to honor the commitment of the US to get the world off the petrodollar.

    None of y’all seemed to have read it.

    “Iran is considering allowing a limited number of oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz on the condition that their cargo is priced in Chinese yuan, a senior US official told CNN.”

    Iran hasn’t even said anything officially. It’s a US official who mentioned it.

  10. The de-dollarisation of the oil trade would be a nail a significant factor in the downfall of the dollar as the primary global reserve currency. But I still would put trust Yuan as a replacement.

  11. Oh, so this is how the US dollar loses its place as the global fiat currency? This’ll be awesome for inflation! Buckle up!

  12. Does China really want their currency to get more valuable? That would seriously hurt their export economy, no?

    It’s breathtaking how they clearly thought that having a “decapitation strike” would work instead of backfire (Mojtaba is considered to be more a hardliner than his father, and even if he dies they have other hardliners ready to take power), forgot that Iran has literal missile cities hundreds of meters deep so no bunker buster can reach, and no plan for Strait of Hormuz closure.

    Just a sheer display of incompetence that happens when the people you hire only qualification is “willingness is a 10 to kiss Trump’s anus”.
