Don’t Bomb Iran

If the Straits of Hormuz get cut for a few months as a result of an Iran attack, the US would not be in much direct energy trouble as oil prices skyrocked. It has over 150 days of crude oil imports already in store. Wikipedia says the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) has about 50 days of national consumption (worth $55 billion at current prices, and purchased over the years for much less than current prices). And US companies have private buffers in the US bringing the total up to 150 days. So while everybody else would be paying well over $100 a barrel until the Hormuz opened, it seems to me that the US would be quite protected, have a major economic advantage over some other countries, and the US oil majors would roll in even more cash. Japan and some others have less significant reserves, and oh, the US is legally obliged to supply Israel from the SPR.
