        Completely unscientific poll:

        92.5% of Americans think Iran is "evil", and "the bad guy" and "hates our freedom".

        3.8% of Americans know that America deposed the democratically elected Mossadegh because he wanted to nationalize the oil. The Americans (and Brits, tbf) installed the Shah and kept him in power - a horrifically brutal dictator who's cruelty led directly to the people of Iran supporting revolution, even if it was led by religious extremists.

      Not at all, oil is still tied to the dollar, Iranian oil is not being traded on US dollar markets already to the same extent because of sanctions against them. Them tying themselves to the RMB kind of allows them to skirt the sanctions.
