Oil reserves are declining 246 million barrels since conflict start; commercial reserves approaching critical 2,000-billion-barrel threshold where price pressure forces demand destruction. IEA released 400 million barrels strategically; China built counter-cyclical reserves now at 1.24 billion barrels while OECD countries face limited cushion for future supply disruptions.

Iran's blockade of Strait of Hormuz (critical chokepoint for ~20% global oil supply) demonstrates asymmetric leverage against US, forcing coordinated IEA intervention. US-Iran conflict creates strategic vulnerability for oil-dependent economies, shifting negotiating power toward Tehran despite economic costs. Global energy interdependence constrains unilateral action.
1973 OPEC oil embargo during Yom Kippur War: weaponized energy supply, triggered stagflation, reshaped geopolitics. Current scenario mirrors supply shock severity but with added military dimension and faster reserve depletion.
