The legality situation of the blockade can at best be described as "contested", and the NATO members seems to be quite split on how they are showing support.
Reading up a bit on the different opinions and different interpretations can give quite a few options for an interesting scenario.
If one wants to create a Twilight scenario out of it; then one option could be to escalate it, without open conflict, to where NATO breaks apart. Add to the scenario that the world oil reserves turn out to be even less than expected, and we can have a war where EU, US, Russia and China start to fight each other for the Middle eastern oil.
