Israel vs Iran: The Chokepoint That Controls Oil Prices

Israel vs Iran: The Chokepoint That Controls Oil Prices

Pillar 5 of the Israel vs Iran Battlecard: Energy & the Strait of Hormuz.
This pillar is not just about Israel and Iran. It is about you.

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most important oil chokepoints, and in 2024 about 20 million barrels per day moved through it, roughly 20% of global petroleum liquids consumption.

Iran does not need to close the strait or sink a tanker. It only needs to make the threat credible, because oil markets price risk fast. Israel can strike Iran, but it cannot secure a chokepoint on the far side of the Arabian Peninsula.
