Middle East tensions push oil prices toward $97 — long oil stocks and ETFs for conflict premium

Fresh U.S. military strikes on Iran are escalating tensions in the Middle East, causing oil prices to spike higher. When conflict threatens key oil shipping routes, energy prices usually jump as markets anticipate supply disruptions.

Idea

The U.S. just struck Iranian military targets near the Strait of Hormuz, which is a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments. This has pushed Brent crude up nearly 3% toward $97 a barrel. Since these geopolitical tensions show no signs of a quick resolution, the fear of supply disruptions will likely keep a 'risk premium' baked into oil prices, making energy-related investments attractive in the short term.
