Last century, Iran going for superpower status would have seemed ridiculous.
Today, Iran going for superpower status by knocking out the U.S.A. and people talking about an actually reasonable possibility of its success is gobsmacking.

I was going to make the same point. I too learned the new-to-me concept of the petroyuan yesterday.

Given that (appallingly) at least one organization started accepting pre-match betting about nuclear weapons and has now closed it, it seems that the label #FIFAWorldWar is no longer premature. After just 1 day.

Yes, #GianniInfantino: You got to boast about the #FIFAPeacePrize. So you get the blame for the outcome of the belligerence and jingoism that you helped to mask.
#IranWar, at least if FediVerse hashtags are anything to go by. (People have by and large missed that #Pakistan declared 'open war' with #Afghanistan the day before.)
#TrumpWar also exists.
#FIFAWorldWar is probably slightly premature. (-:
