It is really bad to have those cou tries degenerate into some form of all out war.

That is about 14.6 million barrels of daily oil production between the two. Knocking out even 50% of that or even 30% would cause untold harm to the global economy. Any temporary benefit to us would be far outstripped by oil shortages and their effects on the global economy.

The middle east oil is the life blood of the planets economy and in such tulmultous places it is hard to see them getting beaten down by more war. They have endured quite the nightmare over the past century as everyone battles as well as themselves battle over their territories. If they arent in civil war or war with a neighbour the west is actively manipulating the area or invading these cou tries/having proxy wars.

Thankfully our oil is garbage and no one wants control of it haha
