so does the price of everything we buy. $100/barrel oil is just around the corner. I don't think that Iran will close off the Strait of Hormuz, but it will target certain oil tankers. China is Iran's #1 customer so Iran is going to want to keep selling oil to them.

We have our 5th Fleet stationed in the Persian Gulf just to keep shipping lanes open, with that said, there will be disruptions.
