Iran
Just a quick word on Iran, it is a country that can increase its oil production, but internal usage (consumption) is increasing fast, so exports year on year will decline, not from peaked oil production but from the population if Iran using more oil internally. On a positive note it does still have one of the largest reserves of oil and natural gas left (remaining) on the planet after Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Militarily, check out how all of the oil and gas fields are in the extreme western part of the country bordering Iraq. An invading army would only have to control a small percentage of the total land mass (total country area) to secure (control) a major chunk (amount) of the worlds remaining oil reserves. All of the supertankers out of the region pass through a chokepoint at the Straights of Hormuz.
