While the world focuses on the military aspects of the conflict with Iran, Tehran is quietly playing the global energy game through the process of de-dollarization. Iran is increasingly redirecting its oil transactions away from the dollar, strengthening cooperation with countries that want to reduce dependence on the American currency.

The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is not just a military tactic — it is also an economic instrument. Iran selectively allows ship passage based on geopolitical affiliation, effectively creating a new system of control over global energy flows.

European countries, Japan, and Australia rejected Trump's request to send military assistance to unblock the strait. Trump warned that NATO faces a "dark future" if allies refuse to help.

Analysts warn that a prolonged blockade could accelerate de-dollarization processes, as countries dependent on Iranian oil seek alternative payment methods and supply routes outside the dollar system.

The situation shows that Tehran is not limiting itself to a military response, but is strategically using its energy resources as a political weapon on the global stage.
