Gulf War III Triggers Historic 20% Global Oil Supply Disruption

Rapidan Energy Group reports that the escalating conflict involving Iran, termed "Gulf War III," has triggered a massive 20% disruption in global oil supplies. This disruption marks the largest in history, more than doubling the previous record set during the 1956-57 crisis. The scale of the shock is unprecedented, threatening global energy stability as markets face a massive supply vacuum. Compounding the crisis is the total absence of a spare capacity cushion to offset the loss, leaving no room for immediate mitigation. Analysts warn that without any production buffer, oil prices are poised for a catastrophic surge to record highs. The geopolitical escalation in the Gulf region has effectively created a global energy emergency with no historical parallel.
