For decades, the oil industry worried that unrest in the Mideast could spread to Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest and most irreplaceable oil exporter.

The Trump administration has increased the pressure on Iran, but that has raised the prospect of a war in the Mideast Gulf, the world’s most important oil producing region. But is Trump, who campaigned against US involvement in costly Mideast conflicts, really willing to go to war with Iran? Energy Intelligence’s top US foreign policy reporter breaks down the administration’s thinking. Hosted by: Alex Schindelar, President and  Emily Meredith, Washington DC Deputy Bureau Chief

More than a year after US President Donald Trump withdrew from the multilateral Iran nuclear deal, the Opec member's oil exports have hit historic lows. Official crude sales have slumped below 200,000 barrels per day from above 2 million b/d in the first half of 2018, as the country's traditional customers have largely stopped lifting to abide with US sanctions, piling more pressure on Tehran at a time when tensions with Washington are escalating. The US has blamed tanker attacks near the Strait of Hormuz on the Islamic republic and is upping the ante after Iran downed a US spy drone that Tehran says entered its airspace, raising the prospect of direct military conflict. For now, Trump has said he prefers ratcheting up economic pressure on Tehran over a military strike, slapping new sanctions on the country, including on the supreme leader. With oil exports at historic lows and its economy reeling, Iran's back is against the wall.  Hosted by: Amena Bakr, Senior Energy Correspondent and Oliver Klaus, Dubai Bureau Chief
