What a War With Iran Could Mean for Oil, Inflation and Your Money – Robert Kiyosaki | ENCORE
The Iran war and oil prices are closely connected because conflict around the Strait of Hormuz can disrupt one of the world's most important energy corridors—and the consequences can spread throughout the global economy.
In this episode of The Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki sits down with retired U.S. Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor to examine the conflict involving Iran from both a geopolitical and investor perspective. Drawing on their military backgrounds, Robert and Macgregor challenge the conventional narrative surrounding war, energy, and America's strategic interests.
Robert argues that understanding oil means understanding much more than the price at the pump. Petroleum touches transportation, agriculture, fertilizer, plastics, manufacturing, and countless products throughout the economy. Macgregor expands that argument by explaining why strategic resources have shaped military and geopolitical decisions for generations.
The conversation examines the Strait of Hormuz and why military conflict can make global commerce difficult even without a complete physical blockade. Macgregor argues that insurance, risk, and capital flight can disrupt shipping and energy markets simply because companies cannot operate normally in a war zone.
Robert and Macgregor also explore a broader Rich Dad lesson: investors don't have to view geopolitical turmoil only as victims. Understanding how war affects oil, commodities, inflation, and hard assets can help investors recognize how changes in the real economy may affect their financial decisions.
In this episode, you'll learn:
-How conflict with Iran could affect global oil prices
-Why the Strait of Hormuz matters to energy markets
-Why war can contribute to inflation
-How higher oil prices can ripple through food, transportation, manufacturing, and consumer prices
-Why oil and other natural resources remain strategically important
-How geopolitics can create both financial risks and investment opportunities
-Why Macgregor believes the United States needs a clearer long-term national strategy
-How investors can think differently about geopolitical risk
Robert's underlying message is distinctly Rich Dad: don't simply react to economic disruption—understand what's driving it. Financial education gives investors a framework for recognizing how war, energy, inflation, and hard assets connect.

Gas ❌ oil ✅
Kyosaki has dementia🤣🤣 changing topics and answering off topic is crazy
That is not funny.
Thank you 😊
This will be great if gas hits $8.00 a gallon , less traffic,
Sure, but where would you go since many people won’t be able to go to work and companies will go out of business.
@outofshapecartoons4138it will be like when COVID was in full swing , any where I want , not even any pigs were in the road then , it was great ,
“Those that do not learn History, Are Doomed to Repeat It” Thank you Robert. & Col MacGregor.
It’s fascinating watching the commodity super-cycle play out before a broader market crash. People forget that geopolitical tension and war are inherently inflationary, accelerating the timeline for commodities like gold and oil to skyrocket. Capital is flowing out of Wall Street and into the real economy, reinforcing this massive inflationary pressure. Rather than waiting for oil to hit $250/bbl or stressing over global rate hikes, the smart play is trading the volatility within these commodity swings. I’ve personally benefited from following Alison Bruce trading tactics, managing to grow my nest egg from $65k to a solid $540k in a very short period of time. Grateful as always, Alison Bruce, for your ongoing support.

Part of “Blame everything on Israel” instead of corporate greed to increase profits.
I agree with you.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking otherwise: the Islamic Republic — this Frankenstein monster that the globalists brought into Iran — must be brought to an end, or its consequences will spread across the whole world!! We Iranians are fighting in Iran on behalf of the entire world, but you don’t understand that. You only see what’s happening right now! You fools, look and compare Iran 50 years ago with Iran today.
This apocalyptic cult is going to hold the whole world hostage
Your guess thinks he knows everything but he doesn’t
like i’ve been saying for a while now, it’s all about the oil,,, there’s a reason general wesley clark said were going into 7 different nations,,, now were in control of iraq’s oil, libya’s oil, syria’s oil, israel is working on lebanon, somalia, sudan, and were at war with the last 2 nations, iran and russia, we get them and we’ll control the world, we’ll be able to bend xi xinping over any which way we want… we’ll be able to do with china what were doing with cuba now…
伊朗的价值不只是石油，还有霍尔木兹海峡。美国想和崛起的中国两分地球，就必须控制关键油田和关键海峡。

We’re already paying $9+ for gas in the UK. Have been for a while now. It’s the biggest cause of (real) inflation in our country

I dropped out of college my second year 20 years ago with an education I still don’t use for anything. Today I earn more than anyone else in my family. My father died two and a half years into a NYPD Detective’s retirement and all I got was a pair of his handcuffs when he died…
They already have the technology to get us off of oil but for obvious reasons it’s kept locked up in the name of national security.
the oil price is high as the companies that own it are making massive profits fost look ate their massive profits in 1 quarter – unreal considering oil from IRAN has sanctions on it and cannot be sold the the west
