This would instantly remove something like 30 percent of oil from the market, as well as a lot of the natural gas, especially once the strait of Hormuz is closed. I could see oil skyrocketing to 150 plus a barrel quickly, maybe higher.

I don't know how the us would react. We don't really get any oil from the middle east. Our two big suppliers, Canada and Mexico, don't really have the infrastructure to export to anyone but us. We also have substantial oil and gas reserves. If push comes to shove I think we will be less affected than the rest of the world.
