The PetroDollar is a myth. The Iran war confirmed it.

The 1974 US-Saudi deal targeted stable oil prices, not dollar-only sales; today oil is just 5–7% of US GDP.
The video challenges the claim that the 1974 US-Saudi agreement created the dollar’s global dominance by requiring oil sales in dollars. Declassified documents released after a 2016 Bloomberg request show the agreement focused on closer political ties, Saudi development, recycling oil revenues, and keeping oil prices stable—not exclusive dollar pricing. The dollar was already the leading reserve currency, while Gulf states held only a small share of US Treasuries. Today, oil accounts for just 5–7% of US GDP, the US has been a net oil exporter since 2020, and Gulf investors own about 1% of the US stock market. The video concludes that dollar dominance rests on broader financial markets, and any future decline would not be caused by oil invoicing in other currencies.
