Maybe the point of the Iran war was to boost the US economy, relative to East Asia, which is dependent on Middle Eastern oil and gas, while the US is an exporter.

I mean look who benefits from this, arms companies and oil/gas companies are having a bonanza.

The point was to stop oil trades of "petro non-dollars", just like Venezuela.

If countries start getting away with selling oil in other currencies, then they wouldn't funnel back all these vasts amounts of dollars into the S&P 500 and the American economy would collapse.

Or makes ROTW more resiliant. I sped up my solar, battery and EV buy because of this for example.

The panels will land in ROTW.
