Trump "As far as China's concerned, China can send their ships to us, China can send their ships to Venezuela... we have a lot of overcapacity, and we'll probably sell [oil] for even less money." V

Why did the US attack Iran, and what are its real objectives?

Have you ever wondered how the US is always able to fund all its contentious wars and Israel?

While the USSR collapsed during the first real war of attrition in Afghanistan, the US spent trillions of dollars for a longer period there and still did not collapse.

After the Vietnam War, the United States emerged with massive debts amounting to $168 billion, which was significant compared to the US federal budget at the time, ranging from roughly $92 billion in 1960 to $195 billion in 1970.

The US sought a solution by detaching the dollar from the gold standard and replacing it with oil, and signed a deal with King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, the largest oil exporter at the time, to sell oil only in USD in exchange for protection for the Saudi regime. This was followed by relatively easy “convincing” of the rest of the small Gulf states.

This gave the USD value and gave the US the ability to print as much money as it wanted, since energy buyers have to use USD to buy oil within the US-dominated global banking SWIFT system, which also gave the US the ability to sanction any country, since there was no alternative.

Until China introduced its alternative, CIPS. Given that China is the world’s largest manufacturer, it could potentially dictate a global payment method if it wished.

Any empire fights to remain dominant, while also fighting any potential empire that seeks to replace it or compete with it.

In this fight the US military complex funded indirectly by the Arab oil regimes through (oil in USD for protection) is the main tool used by the US to remain dominant by ensuring majority oil reserves in the world are under its direct control or indirectly via client regimes.

And to force China to use USD for energy purchases if the US controls the oil-producing “states.”

That is why regime change in Venezuela was necessary, since China also used to buy some of its oil needs from sanctioned Venezuela outside Swift and USD.

Roughly 20% of China’s oil needs also come from sanctioned Russia, and this is also outside the SWIFT system and are not paid in USD.

As for Iran, about 91% of Iran’s oil exports go to China outside the SWIFT system, paid for in Chinese yuan (RMB).

The solution the US sought to protect its global reserve currency and, most importantly, the SWIFT network was to lift the ban on Russian oil. (This was also intended to bring oil prices down due to the ongoing Hormuz Strait crisis)

In this vision, a regime change in Iran becomes necessary for two factors:

1- Control over the only oil in the Middle East that the US does not control directly or through client regimes

2- And to protect its advanced military base, Israel, whose existence is necessary near its petrodollar kingdoms and “states.” Since Iran funds Hamas and Hezbollah.

How did the US try to execute this regime change plan?

1- the collapse of Iranian currency:

Here US used sanctions, and the UAE, since the UAE was allowed to trade with Iran and was one of its largest trading partners prior to this. Iran–UAE bilateral trade was roughly $16–28 billion in 2025, according to open sources

2- Protests:
the sudden additional collapse of Iranian Riyal automatrivally caused protests that started with vendors protests and expanded. The US and its allies covered these protests extensively and even instigated them.

3- The assassination of the supreme leader:

From the first airstrikes that targeted the Iranian supreme leader and additional top leaders in Iran, Trump, overjoyed by his easy regime change in Venezuela, believed this would push additional anti-regime protests. He expected an easy, short war that would contribute massively to regime change, allowing the US to control one of the two remaining oil reserves outside SWIFT, where China would have to use USD and SWIFT to buy All its oil needs,

It’s not about oil, it’s about ensuring oil is sold only in USD and through the SWIFT network.
