While Iran enjoyed the higher prices, they didn't join the Embargo.

If Egypt was winning the War, thing may have gone much worse, aka the Samson Option the Israelis had, so I assume that war turned out as OTL, but maybe if the Saudis also didn't join the Embargo after Nixon promised aid to help the Israelis with billions of Military aid

No Embargo really doesn't change the fundamental problems simmering away in Iran, they and the Saudis were already making more and more Petrodollars each year. This TL, be a bit less

The embargo wasn't the issue. The issue was the tripling of the posted price. Back in those days, oil prices were set by long term contracts with oil companies, not on spot markets like today.
