we have the senior energy analyst at raymond james.hanks for having me. >> the conventional wisdom last week is because it doesn't directly involve iran, maybe the impact on the complex not as dire as it might be under other scenarios. do you agree with that? >> there should be no impact at all from what's happening currently on the israel/gaza border. none whatsoever. the reality is that the oil market is very jittery as all financial markets are these days. and as we saw, for example, with the egyptian revolution in 2011, which also had no impact at all on oil market fundamentals, but did push all prices higher for a period of time. the concern here is contagion. will this very localized war lead to a broader regional conflict and the odds of that are just exceptionally low because egypt is not going to go to war over gaza. syria is already having its own internal conflict and not a major oil producer in any case. iran as you mentioned frankly is, i mean, clearly would want to help hamas in this conflict. of course it's in no positio
