The Petrodollar, China & Iran: What the Media Does Not Tell You | Silk and Steel

In this explosive episode of Silk and Steel, Carl Zha welcomes back geopolitical analyst Dr. Warwick Powell to break down the rapidly escalating tensions that involve the United States, China, Iran, and Russia.

While Trump prepares for a high-stakes visit to Beijing, China openly rejects U.S. sanctions on Iranian oil. As fears grow over the Strait of Hormuz, this conversation explores whether the world now enters a completely new geopolitical era.

Topics discussed include:

  • Trump’s upcoming Beijing visit and what it really means
  • China’s refusal to comply with U.S. sanctions
  • Iran’s leverage over the Strait of Hormuz
  • The growing China-Russia-Iran strategic alignment
  • U.S. tariffs and economic pressure tactics
  • The future of the petrodollar and global trade
  • Why global power now shifts away from Washington
  • How the escalation of Middle East tensions could impact the global economy

Dr. Warwick Powell explains why the next few weeks could become a turning point in the emergent multipolar world order.
