Iran just mined the world's busiest oil route — buy energy before crude spikes

The U.S. Secretary of State says Iran has mined major sections of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important oil shipping chokepoints. If those mines disrupt tanker traffic, global oil supply could take a serious hit.

Idea

Roughly one-fifth of the world's oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz. Mining it is a direct threat to that supply chain. Even if tankers manage to navigate carefully, insurance costs and delays will push crude prices higher. Energy stocks — especially the big U.S. producers — tend to rally fast when oil supply fears spike. With tensions escalating rather than cooling, this move has legs beyond a single day's pop.
