Here’s the full list layered into the existing timeline — every major Middle East/North Africa leader removed, killed, or deposed with documented U.S. involvement, and their specific oil/dollar offense:
THE PETRODOLLAR HIT LIST Leaders who challenged dollar/oil hegemony and paid for it
-
Mohammad Mosaddegh — Iran, 1953 Offense: Nationalized Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (later BP), cutting British and American access to Iranian oil entirely. In 1951, the Iranian parliament voted to nationalize the country’s oil industry, which had been run by the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company — a British-controlled entity that had made enormous profits while paying Iran a fraction of its returns.  On August 19, 1953, Mosaddegh was overthrown in a coup instigated by the UK (MI6) under Operation Boot and the United States (CIA) under Operation Ajax, led by Kermit Roosevelt Jr.  Mosaddegh was not killed — he was imprisoned for three years and then kept under house arrest until his death in 1967. The Shah was reinstated as a pro-Western puppet. The U.S. has since acknowledged its role in the coup, undertaken because the U.S. and Britain feared Iran, and its oil, would fall behind the Iron Curtain.  Dollar restoration: Iranian oil immediately returned to Western consortium control post-coup.
-
Abdul Karim Qasim — Iraq, 1963 Offense: Overthrew the pro-Western Iraqi monarchy in 1958, then nationalized a portion of the Iraq Petroleum Company (IPC) and refused to align with Western oil interests. He was moving Iraq toward the Soviet orbit and threatening IPC concessions. The U.S. lost a sympathetic Middle Eastern government due to the 1958 Iraqi coup d’état, which saw King Faisal II replaced by General Abd al-Karim Qasim.  The CIA supported the Ba’ath Party coup in February 1963 that removed and executed Qasim. Declassified documents later confirmed CIA involvement. Saddam Hussein was among the Ba’athists involved. Dollar restoration: Iraq’s oil agreements with Western companies were renegotiated favorably post-coup.
-
Saddam Hussein — Iraq, 2003 Offense: In September 2000, announced Iraq would sell oil exclusively in euros, not dollars — the first OPEC nation to break ranks. In 2000, Saddam Hussein announced that Iraq would switch its oil sales from dollars to euros under the UN Oil-for-Food program. In 2003, the U.S. invaded Iraq and removed his regime. Afterward, Iraqi oil sales reverted to dollar denomination.  By 2002, Saddam had converted $10 billion in reserves into euros — effectively dumping the dollar. A few months later, on March 19, 2003, the full-scale U.S.-led invasion of Iraq began.  Saddam was captured in December 2003 and executed by hanging in December 2006. Dollar restoration: A Financial Times article dated June 5, 2003 confirmed Iraqi oil sales returning to international markets were once again denominated in U.S. dollars — not euros.  The Federal Reserve shipped billions of dollars in physical cash to Iraq at the early beginning of the war — described by CNBC as the largest airborne transfer of currency in the history of the world. 
-
Muammar Gaddafi — Libya, 2011 Offense: Proposed a pan-African gold-backed dinar to price oil, replacing both the dollar and the French franc (CFA) across the continent. Had 143 tons of gold and equivalent silver stockpiled. Newly disclosed emails show that Libya’s plan to create a gold-backed currency to compete with the euro and dollar was a motive for NATO’s intervention.  An April 2, 2011 memo titled “France’s client/Q’s gold” quotes knowledgeable individuals reporting that the military campaign was designed to quash plans by Gaddafi to use $7 billion in secret gold and silver to prop up a new African currency. The French worried the move would undercut the CFA franc.  NATO intervened in March 2011 under the cover of a humanitarian “no-fly zone.” Gaddafi was murdered by Western-backed rebels on October 20, 2011.  Hillary Clinton’s reaction on camera: “We came, we saw, he died.” Dollar restoration: Libya’s sovereign wealth fund and gold reserves fell under transitional authority aligned with Western banking interests. The gold dinar project died with Gaddafi.
-
Qasem Soleimani — Iran (IRGC), 2020 Offense: Architect of Iran’s regional power projection and one of the key figures pushing Iranian oil sales in non-dollar currencies, including to China in yuan. Iran had been developing its own oil bourse since 2006 explicitly to bypass the dollar. Iran was planning an internet-based oil exchange — an oil bourse — which over time could undermine the petrodollar system and thus the global supremacy of the U.S. dollar.  Trump ordered the drone strike that killed Soleimani on January 3, 2020 at Baghdad International Airport. The stated justification was an “imminent attack” — later walked back by multiple officials.
-
Ali Khamenei — Iran, 2026 Offense: Supreme Leader of the nation that has most aggressively pursued de-dollarization of oil — yuan-denominated deals with China, proposals for a BRICS oil pricing mechanism, and the original Iranian oil bourse threat. The targeting and killing of Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is the first time in modern history the U.S. — working with Israel — openly killed the leader of a foreign country.  For those keeping track, the U.S. has now decapitated two foreign governments — both U.S. adversaries overseeing vast oil reserves — in the past two months: Venezuela’s Maduro is in New York awaiting trial and Khamenei is dead. 
THE PATTERN According to the petrodollar war theory, countries that attempt to price oil in euros, yuan, or other alternatives find themselves sanctioned, destabilized — or invaded.  The sequence is almost mechanical: announce de-dollarization → get labeled a threat → get sanctioned → get invaded or couped → oil returns to dollar pricing. Mosaddegh (1953), Qasim (1963), Saddam (2003), Gaddafi (2011), Soleimani (2020), Khamenei (2026). Every single time, within months to years of the dollar challenge, the leader is gone and the oil goes back to greenbacks.
