What’s really behind the US war on Iran?

There is a view that part of the program from America’s point of view is that America has this leadership role in the Western world. The American dollar is the world’s reserve currency and America has many allies, including NATO, including Europe as well as Israel. However, you have another group of people: Russia, China, Iran, and what they call the BRICS nations who are pulling together to bring a united body which will confront America. And part of what the BRICS nations actually want to do is to ‘dethrone’ the dollar because they know that if they can do that, then they can break the power of America and they can stop America doing things like putting sanctions on Russia and other countries.
