I agree Gold Mine,
Legache, the Iraq war spiked oil, I recall oil being well about $120 in the 2000’s/10’s. That price is what sparked the shale revolution. Add in inflation and I’d wager we were paying well over $180 a barrel for years in today’s money.
Again, difference is that Iraq was producing a few million barrels, the straits is 20 million barrels offline. This gets worse before it gets better but I don’t think for a minute this is a flash in the pan. Iran will want to create as much economic pain as possible and I think this will trigger a series of pipeline developments across the ME
