US bombs Iran and blocks their oil — load up on energy stocks

The US is actively bombing Iran and blocking their oil sales, causing the price of oil to spike rapidly. When oil spikes like this due to war, major oil companies see massive profit windfalls, making their stocks attractive.

Idea

Oil prices have surged over 5% to two-week highs after the US military launched multiple rounds of strikes against Iran and revoked waivers that allowed Iran to sell oil. The Strait of Hormuz is now at risk, which could choke off global energy supplies. Historically, when military conflict restricts oil supply, the price of crude spikes, and massive integrated oil companies like ExxonMobil capture enormous profit margins as the underlying commodity becomes more valuable.
