   Can anyone speak to the long term impacts of this? Like is gas going to remain high for years (or even worse get rationed) and I should trade in for an EV now?

      Long term impact of Iran war is that they expand UAE-Oman pipelines to bypass Hormuz.

         And Iran can’t hit those? What’s the timeline to build?

            Iran can hit any pipeline on the peninsula if they have an accurate enough weapon (or get lucky) and it's not shot down. Their weapon ranges covers the entire Arabian Peninsula.

            Iran can hit them.

               bury them in 10m of sand and nothing short of close hit by a 150kt warhead will do anythin.

               it is also cheaper than risking tankers
