I wonder if this is the final nail that will decouple the world economy from the dollar.

But then, I suppose the plan was to decouple the world from the dollar all the time. Trump is clearly playing 5D connect-4.

If anything Trump was trying to prevent the change away from the petrodollar standard. That “currency” allows the US to run up debts because nobody wants the dollar to collapse and wreck everything traded in USD.

Iran has been out of the petrodollar system since the maximalist sanctions the US imposed in 1995. Sanctioned countries don’t have a use for dollars.
