Why the Iran War Hasn't Crashed the Economy

BIG by Matt Stoller | Score: 0.22 | neutral | Published: 15:52 Jun 16, 2026 (Eastern)

Writing from his newsletter BIG, Matt Stoller examines why the U.S. economy did not suffer a severe oil shock following a military conflict with Iran that disrupted the Strait of Hormuz — a waterway he says carries 20% of global hydrocarbons. Stoller argues the primary reason is that governments, particularly after the 1970s oil crises, built strategic petroleum reserves and diversified energy sources. He traces the history of the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve, created by Gerald Ford in 1975 and filled beginning under Jimmy Carter, and notes the International Energy Agency's coordinating role in recommending nations stockpile at least 90 days of net import volume. Stoller situates oil stockpiling within a broader tradition of U.S. commodity management dating to the New Deal and World War I, noting that supply management historically covered minerals, helium, and food. He credits additional factors for cushioning the shock: the U.S. fracking boom, Japan's coal backup systems, cheap solar in developing nations, Saudi Arabia's bypass pipeline, and China's extensive strategic reserves and industrial substitution capacity. Stoller criticizes economists and free-market advocates for opposing stockpiling and diversification on efficiency grounds, citing efforts since the Reagan era to eliminate the SPR. He contrasts this with what he describes as media framing that treats government reserves as background facts rather than deliberate policy achievements. He concludes by arguing the episode demonstrates the value of supply diversification and stockpiling across food, medicine, chemicals, and critical minerals, while noting ongoing vulnerabilities such as Chinese dominance of rare earth magnets.

At a Group of 7 gathering in France, European leaders adopted a more conciliatory tone toward U.S. President Trump.
