Strikes have physically destroyed infrastructure accounting for 11 million barrels per day and 20% of global gas supply, which takes 3-5 years to rebuild. The market is currently trading on diplomatic news (a 5-day strike pause) rather than the physical reality of a massive, multi-year supply deficit with zero spare capacity. Go long on oil (USO) or broad energy (XLE) before institutions fully reprice the long-term structural supply hole. Severe global demand destruction (recession) offsetting the supply loss, or SPR releases artificially suppressing prices longer than expected.
