There is only 1 standing legacy nation left in the Middle East and that is Iran. All of the others have been ripped to shreds, so it’s not an exaggeration to believe, in my opinion, that something dreadful awaits Tehran in the not-too-distant future. With that in mind, Iran is a major exporters of crude and the price has been trickling higher, consistently, ever since Trump cut a deal with the satanists in Saudi Barbaria.
So, as investors, we can either stand by and do nothing about it — or profit immensely from the gigantic upswing in inflation that is about to befall western civilization. You can by TIPs or just get long crude stocks and enjoy the ride.

I have direct Mad Max experience as one of these countries collapsed in 2011. I just happened to be there on a brief business visit. Complete anarchy. Marshall law.
Bahrain was one with Martial Law in 2011. No Mad Max scenario reported there. Any other…?
Oh yes. Life threatening for about 24 hours. After dark makeshift road blocks with burning barrels run by masked men with baseball bats and guns. I navigated several that evening. That night martial law declared, following morning streets were locked down by tanks and armored personnel carriers.
