"A variety of options are available to Iran."

That ominous response came from Iran's Foreign Minister when asked directly about closing the Strait of Hormuz.

The context? Iran's Parliament has now officially backed shutting down the narrow waterway that carries 20 million barrels of oil daily.

Here's what makes this threat so credible:


The Geography: At just 21 miles wide at its narrowest point, with shipping lanes only 2 miles wide each direction, the Strait is incredibly vulnerable.

The Precedent: During the 1980s "Tanker Wars," Iran successfully disrupted Gulf shipping, attacking Saudi and Kuwaiti oil tankers - even US Navy ships.

The Stakes: Closing Hormuz risks bringing Gulf Arab states into the conflict to protect their own commercial interests.


As recently as April 2023, Iranian forces seized a Chevron-chartered oil tanker in the Gulf, holding it for over a year.

Now, with Trump's unprecedented nuclear strikes crossing what Iran calls "a very big red line," retaliation seems inevitable.

Supreme Leader Khamenei has declared Israel made a "grave mistake" that "must be punished" - though he's given no timeline.

That uncertainty is what has energy markets on edge.

Goldman Sachs warns oil could top $100 per barrel if the Strait closes.

But history shows these crises create the biggest opportunities for prepared investors.

When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, oil spiked to $130 per barrel. Those positioned ahead of the crisis made fortunes.

There's a way to profit from oil's upside without buying volatile energy stocks that swing wildly on every headline.

Charlie Munger discovered this decades ago - turning $1,000 into nearly $100,000 in annual income over 60 years.

I'll show you exactly how to get positioned for as little as $15 >>

Iran's Supreme National Security Council could announce their final decision at any moment.

Don't wait for $100 oil to take action.


P.S. Energy intelligence firm Xeneta reports freight rates have already surged 55% month-over-month on Strait of Hormuz fears. The crisis is already impacting global trade - position yourself now.
