Reply to comment by Phssthp0kThePak in Ukraine Says Its Air Defenses Can't Protect Against Iranian Ballistic Missiles by BeautyInTheNegitive

Iran doesn't have a navy to cut off shipping in the Persian gulf, so that shouldn't be an issue. Torpedo boats and mines may play a larger issue but we dealt with that before.

Sink one tanker with drones or bomb on a raft. Shippers and insurers will stop traffic.

The USA has other allies that produce oil. It will be a domestic issue but they would not run out because of it. Plus the potential for explosive profits due to war time issues would mean a lot of non-opec nations would be happy to ship whatever oil they don't need for a quick buck.
