This supply-route control would restrict crude flows and tighten global supply, driving oil prices sharply higher. The stated catalyst is geopolitical escalation in the Middle East, with a target of $150 oil. The main risk is that the chokepoint-control premise may not hold, as another commenter calls it unlikely.", "thesis_short": "Iran chokepoint control drives oil to $150", "quote": "Now Iran has control over both the hormuz and the Bab-al Mandab\n\nGG.
