Iran just mined the world's busiest oil chokepoint — buy energy and defense before prices catch up

The U.S. Secretary of State just announced that Iran has mined large portions of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important oil shipping channels. This is a major escalation that could disrupt global oil supplies.

Idea

Iran mining the Strait of Hormuz is a serious escalation — roughly 20% of the world's oil passes through there. If ships can't move safely, oil prices could spike quickly. This kind of geopolitical shock tends to boost energy stocks and defense contractors as markets price in prolonged tension. With oil already steadying on conflicting signals, this new headline could be the catalyst that breaks prices higher.
