They don't need to stop the flow of oil. Simply a good disruption would make 140 bucks a barrel seem cheap.

Iran wouldn't come out in the open and attack, they'd do it by proxy and covertly just like they've been fighting us in Palestine.

At the same time they'd be clammoring for peace in public, and doing everything to obfuscate their real behavior. This would give just enough pause to make the decision to attack Iran a lot more complicated.
