U.S. forces disabled Iranian crude carriers near Kharg Island, Jask, and the Gulf of Oman. Physical disruption to Iranian crude exports and higher Gulf geopolitical risk premium should pressure oil prices upward. Short-term event-driven oil exposure makes sense as a trade, but not as a long-term structural thesis. De-escalation headlines, lack of Iranian retaliation, or weakening global demand could quickly reverse the oil spike.
