What does the math equation shared by Iran as warning to US mean?
After US' Strait of Hormuz blockade threat, Iran shared "ΞO_BSOH>0 β f(f(O))>f(O)" mathematical warning. In the equation, BSOH means blockade of Strait of Hormuz, "ΞOBSOH>0ΞOBSOH>0" = blockade increases oil prices, and "f(f(O))>f(O)" = second-round effect is worse than first-round effect. This implies the blockade can trigger oil price jump followed by a larger jump due to chain reactions.
