The U.S. is now controlled by the Petrodollar. Any threat to oil not being traded in U.S. dollars will result in military action.
In beginning of the 1970's a deal was made with OPEC that all oil will be bought and sold with U.S. dollars. If Japan wants to buy oil they have to use U.S. dollars not Yen and if Iran wants to sell oil to Russia it must use U.S. dollars not any other currency.
