Oil prices will get a lot more interesting, if we allow Iran to build nuclear weapons and help countries like Syria and Sudan to do the same.

I believe you are correct. Oil prices could conceivably double quickly, if Iran's Mahdi cult worshiping jihadists carry out the unthinkable in the Persian Gulf.

Unlike Saddam, the Iranian tyrants will not allow themselves to be taken alive to stand trial for crimes against humanity.

It's really just an excuse to for the speculators to bid the price up and make Billions per week. Iran has had Surface to Surface anti-shipping missiles lining the Straights of Hormuz for decades. That's the real threat to oil flow, and they were there when oil traded at $8 a barrel not to long ago.

The Korean kerfluffle is the same deal, hype to increase the fear premium.
