Oil has been used as a political weapon due to its strategic importance and economic significance. Countries with significant oil reserves can leverage their control over energy resources to influence other nations. They can impose embargoes or restrict oil supplies, causing economic disruptions and putting pressure on other countries to comply with their political demands. Additionally, oil revenues can be used to fund military and political activities, further enhancing its potential as a political weapon.
