The 1973 Yom Kippur War, triggered by a surprise attack from Egypt and Syria on Israel, led to a global oil crisis similar to the current tensions around the Strait of Hormuz. Israel was the target then, unlike today when it is linked to an attack on Iran. The 1973 conflict followed Israel's 1967 territorial gains and caused a surge in oil prices worldwide, highlighting the ongoing connection between Middle East conflicts and energy markets.
