⚠️ Iran has a new goal: to harm the economy of the United States
The war between the United States 🇺🇸, Israel 🇮🇱, and Iran 🇮🇷 is entering a different phase. Beyond the military confrontation, some analysts believe that Tehran could try to directly hit the American economy using oil, trade routes, and international companies.
One of the scenarios being discussed is that Iran could allow the sale of its oil in Chinese yuan, favoring the currency of China 🇨🇳, while restricting or avoiding transactions in U.S. dollars 💵. Such a move would indirectly attack the petrodollar system, one of the pillars of the global financial influence of the United States.
Moreover, the tension around the Strait of Hormuz ⛴️ —through which a large part of the world's oil passes— opens the door to actions against energy and logistics facilities linked to Western multinationals, including American companies. 🏭🛢️
The economic risk would be clear:
📈 rise in oil prices
📉 volatility in the markets
💰 inflationary pressure on Western economies
In other words, if Iran cannot militarily defeat the United States, it could try to increase the economic cost of the conflict by attacking the most sensitive points of the global energy and financial system. 🌍⚡
