A potential conflict between Iran and the United States is brewing, and the world's fifth-largest oil producer could see its oil exports crushed. Iran sanctions could send oil prices rising in a hurry. We'll show you exactly what to expect, including how you can make money off of the price action.

While Iran is the fifth-largest oil producer, and third-biggest producer in OPEC, it can threaten the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage in the Gulf of Oman where 20% of the world's oil passes through.

On June 13, two oil tankers were attacked, allegedly by Iran, in the Strait of Hormuz as they carried "Japanese-related" cargo. In May, four tankers were attacked, also allegedly by Iran.

Then came the June 20 downing of a U.S. military drone that Iran accused of violating its airspace.

And finally, on June 24, President Donald Trump ratcheted up economic sanctions on Iran to essentially cut off all Iranian oil exports, which are at the heart of the Iranian economy.

Naturally, this combination of events took a toll on the oil market, sending the price of West Texas Intermediate up 14.7% since its June 12 close. Should the situation escalate, and Iran further threaten the critical Strait of Hormuz, it could shoot up even more.

While this might be bad news for economies, such as Japan and China, which are heavily dependent on Middle East oil, it is actually good news for traders. It can be a catalyst to propel oil stocks higher.

But Money Morning Global Energy Strategist Dr. Kent Moors knows there's more to oil prices.

In fact, Dr. Moors sees something else happening in the oil markets, and anyone invested in energy needs to know about it.

Major Catalysts for Oil in 2019

Back in April, Moors outlined two factors that will drive oil prices higher this year.

The first is that U.S. production is already priced into business operations. Weekly production totals will fluctuate but will not translate into a firm pricing ceiling, even in an overall rising production environment.

Second, oil prices will continue to be determined by demand someplace other than North America or Western Europe. Essentially, this means demand (and prices) will increasingly be driven by Asian demand, where the energy sector as a whole will progressively take its bearings until at least 2035 to 2040.

You see, oil demand should outstrip supply, even if by a small amount, and that by itself provides the oil market a boost. Notwithstanding occasional pressures on demand levels, the world's biggest oil authorities agree about worldwide demand. The International Energy Agency, OPEC, the International Energy Forum, and the U.S. Energy Information Administration see demand setting records this year, increasing even faster than expected.

And if supply is restricted, thanks to increasing hostility and disruption in the Middle East, that can only add to the economic forces driving oil higher.

Here's how Dr. Moors breaks it down and his oil price target for the summer...
