How War With Iran Could Send Oil Prices Higher

The Iran war and oil prices are closely connected because conflict around the Strait of Hormuz can disrupt one of the world's most important energy corridors—and the consequences can spread throughout the global economy.

In this episode of The Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki sits down with retired U.S. Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor to examine the conflict involving Iran from both a geopolitical and investor perspective. Drawing on their military backgrounds, Robert and Macgregor challenge the conventional narrative surrounding war, energy, and America's strategic interests.

Robert argues that understanding oil means understanding much more than the price at the pump. Petroleum touches transportation, agriculture, fertilizer, plastics, manufacturing, and countless products throughout the economy. Macgregor expands that argument by explaining why strategic resources have shaped military and geopolitical decisions for generations.

The conversation examines the Strait of Hormuz and why military conflict can make global commerce difficult even without a complete physical blockade. Macgregor argues that insurance, risk, and capital flight can disrupt shipping and energy markets simply because companies cannot operate normally in a war zone.

Robert and Macgregor also explore a broader Rich Dad lesson: investors don't have to view geopolitical turmoil only as victims. Understanding how war affects oil, commodities, inflation, and hard assets can help investors recognize how changes in the real economy may affect their financial decisions.
