Media: Iran may use RMB to settle oil as a condition for passing through the Strait of Hormuz
American cable news network CNN quoted an Iranian official saying that Tehran is considering allowing a limited number of tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, provided that the oil they carry must be settled in RMB rather than US dollars.
According to the official, Iran is developing a new plan to regulate the passage of tankers through the strait.
On March 2, Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Major General Ebrahim Jafari warned that due to the military actions of Israel and the United States, the Strait of Hormuz would be closed to shipping.
On March 5, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif stated that the strait was not closed, and ships were afraid of being attacked and did not dare to try to pass through. The military actions of the US and Israel against Iran caused a significant increase in oil prices.
