Oil surges on fresh Iran strikes — grab energy stocks before they run hotter

The U.S. carried out fresh military strikes on Iran, sending oil prices sharply higher as traders worry about disruptions to the Strait of Hormuz — the world's most important oil shipping chokepoint.

Idea

When military conflict near the Strait of Hormuz flares up, oil prices spike because roughly 20% of the world's petroleum flows through there. This isn't a one-off — it's the second round of strikes in three days, which means tensions are escalating, not cooling. Higher oil prices flow directly into bigger profits for major oil producers like Exxon and Chevron. These stocks also offer some defense because they tend to hold up better than tech during geopolitical shocks.
