Energy infrastructure attacks are ‘probable’: Oil traders fear supply disruptions in the Middle East
None of the Gulf states can afford a real confrontation. And the fallout of such a conflict would hit especially China as it depends on oil from the Gulf.

Insecurity in the Gulf will make the value of US shale go up.
