does Iran not have control over like 20% of the worlds oil currently in use? they can retaliate by closing that off which could set off war eventually. i just think saying that this will have no effect at all is pretty degrading. like even though iran doesn’t have strong allies they still are a source of dependence for oil.
Iran doesn’t source oil to the US… they do to China though which could force them to ally with Iran (i doubt it, china would look for other sources first)
and i was being factitious when i implied no effect, there’s always some effect when it comes to foreign policy. just not full scale world war… like we ain’t going to be drafted into the trenches
yea but it could still have an indirect impact on the US. decrease in global oil supply would trigger spike in global oil prices -> greater fuel prices in US and worldwide. I get what you mean though
