Saudi Arabia's largest oil processing facility is taken offline because of a drone attack. A missile from an unknown source strikes an Iranian tanker causing an oil spill. Turkey invades northern Syria. These are just some of the Middle East headlines from the past month. What they indicate is a very important region of the world fraught with insecurity and escalating chaos. It comes at a time when Saudi Aramco is about to launch the largest IPO in history. It all reads like the grand plot of a Tom Clancy thriller.
Saudi Aramco announced today it will postpone its upcoming IPO. What could be the problem? It isn't difficult to think of many scenarios. The result of a prolonged war is one. As a fiction writer, I thought of another. What if Iran or Russian buys up all the stock?
