Probably not quite what you had in mind, but that might actually happen. The saudis are the main investors in AI. If they can’t sell their oil, they might be forced to pull out. It could burst the AI bubble all together and crash the US economy.
It would be spectacular if Iran destroys the petrodollar.
The US economy has been essentially immune to such crashes because they can just print more money since everyone trades in USD. 2008 was financially devastating for the average person, but banks maked a metric ton of money and the government bailed them out of any losses.
But one of the big reasons everyone trades in USD is because all of the oil shill states only sell for USD, and they only sell for USD so they can invest it directly into the US economy.
If buying oil from said shill states is no longer an option, there’s no reason to keep using USD since the alternatives are Russia, Iran, and formerly Venezuela.
I think the correct term is not “insisted on provoking” but “started”. Dropping bombs on primary schools and city centers is not a provocation, it is an act of aggressive criminal war

The increased energy costs will also likely cause an increased investment burn rate.
