Me and a broad coalition of people who agree with me on key points, yes.
What credible source do you have for the assertion they want BTC or stablecoins?
Credibility and context and logic are ignored in your comments...TDS?
Given that Iran has been explicitly excluded from use of USD by the Trump sanctions, the choices they have are limited to crypto or Yuan.
USA/Trump did that, own it!

Lots of countries fall for the USD scam despite it being obviously controlled by the US.
Whatever the deal ends up being, the Yuan isn't involved. The PRC is toxic. Everyone you talk to gets bombed lol. Or loses elections.
Everyone has their shitcoin phase.
Wrong.
Please get your facts straight.
Neither US or Iran have signed the international convention asserting that.
'The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) says levies cannot be charged on ships sailing through international straits or territorial seas.
The law allows coastal states to collect fees for services rendered, such as navigation assistance or port use, but not for passage itself.
Neither the US nor Iran has ratified that particular convention, however.
Even if they had, there could be ways to get around this law anyway. Analyst Bhaskar told Al Jazeera that if Iran instead charged fees to de-mine the strait and make it safe for passage again, that could be allowable under maritime laws.'
Neither the US nor Iran has ratified that particular convention, however.
But the PRC did.
My point is nothing is legal or illegal until Trump signs a deal to make it so. Whatever the PRC asserts is noise. Those are the facts at hand.
What has China got to do with Iran seeking reparations for the unlawful attack on it by Israel and USA by tolling Hormuz?
It is not unlawful for Iran to charge the tolls because they have not signed the convention.
Trumps days of calling all the shots are over.
It's the PRC's fault that we had to bomb Iran. You claiming the attack was unlawful proves that it was necessary. For as long as the US continues existing in some form, we're going to be doubling and quadrupling down on exactly the opposite of whatever you would like to see happen.
It's the PRC's fault that we had to bomb Iran.
Can you please expand on this, I've been following this conflict fairly closely and I have not heard this angle yet.
Also why do you keep saying 'we'? You had nothing to do with it?
I voted for it. I'm a constituent familiar with Trump's thinking.
The PRC's legitimacy is based on an argument that they're making the country rich and safe. If the US can demonstrate by example that in fact the PRC and its proxies are poor and vulnerable, then it defeats the purpose of putting up with a totalitarian regime.
Yes the ceasefire makes Iran stronger than if we had taken out their desalination plants. The Xi Jinping of Iran is dead but go ahead and keep thinking you won something so we can move on to the next front.
I guess its also the PRCs fault that USA/CIA removed the democratically elected Mossadegh government in 1953 and CIA sponsored Saddam Husseins invasion of Iran from 1980-88, which ultimately failed...
Poor you- those PRC are so evil.
Extorting the strait is highly illegal. Those are neutral waterways for civilian use in international trade.
Unless Saudi Arabia gets a cut of the revenue and payment is demanded in BTC not the RMB. Then collecting a toll might be legal.
