No.
Iran is irrelevant.
The oil exports from Iran account for less than 0.1% of all international trade. All trading in oil accounts for about 1% of global capital flows.
The idea that moving oil off the dollar standard would mean the dollar would end its status as the world's reserve currency is silly. 20% of all currency transactions do not include the dollar in any form already.
