The reduced US dollar influence in regional and economic transactions would decrease the Western dominance over the global economy, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council stated.

He mentioned that the reducing influence of the US dollar in regional and international economic transactions will disappear with the Western dominance on the world economy.
