Iran just mined the world's busiest oil chokepoint — load up on Exxon and Chevron before crude spikes
The U.S. Secretary of State says Iran has mined large parts of the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway through which roughly one-fifth of the world's oil flows every day.
Idea
The Strait of Hormuz handles about 20% of global oil shipments. Mining it is a direct threat to supply, and any disruption — real or feared — tends to push crude prices sharply higher. Exxon and Chevron are the two largest U.S. oil producers, so they benefit quickly when oil spikes. Geopolitical supply shocks historically send energy stocks up 5–15% in the weeks that follow, especially when military escalation is still unfolding.
