This operation is to secure oil so that an attack on Iran doesn't destabilise oil supplies to the USA and Israel.

I feel like OPEC scales up/down production on a whim more than Iran produces.

Unless you mean the potential for a boycott like what happened back in the day. However the geopolitical situation has changed enough that i think that is exceptionally unlikely.

  • A boycott is one possibility, another is Iran closing the strait of hormuz, mines could take months to remove.
