A sustained supply shock from Iran conflict would force oil markets to abandon decades of integration and fungibility, splitting into regional blocs with separate pricing, reserve strategies, and trade relationships—similar to how semiconductors fragmented post-2020, but with far greater macroeconomic drag.
