Middle East Tensions and Oil Market Outlook
1. After Maduro’s downfall earlier this year, the spotlight has shifted to Iran, where large street protests have raised fears of a wider regional flare‑up.
2. With Iran still one of OPEC’s major oil suppliers, any setback in stability could increase worries about disruptions in global crude flows.
3. If reforms take hold and sanctions ease, more Iranian oil could eventually return to the market.
4. But if the transition turns violent, the region could face retaliation risks, adding even more uncertainty to future crude supply.
