Iran Calls for Unified BRICS Currency to End US Dollar Dominance
Iran is aggressively pushing for a unified BRICS currency system, aiming to diminish the US dollar\'s global influence. As a new member of BRICS, Iran is actively urging the ten-nation bloc to ditch the US dollar in international trade and financial transactions. This initiative supports de-dollarization efforts and seeks to establish an alternative global financial order.
Iran\'s proposal includes launching a singular currency within the BRICS alliance to challenge the US dollar\'s hegemony. The country is also promoting a "joint currency" narrative, advocating for its use in settling cross-border transactions among member nations. Iran\'s proposal to link the payment systems of BRICS member countries would entail common settlements through ATM withdrawals using the member countries\' banks.
Baqeri, representing Iran, also called for reforming financial systems based on Bretton Woods, criticizing the United States\' use of the dollar as a geopolitical tool. Iran believes that financial systems should be tweaked to create a more equitable and stable global financial landscape. The ultimate goal is to end the US dollar\'s dominance and foster a more balanced international economic system through a unified BRICS currency.
