Iran Conflict Triggers Global Oil Spike, Pushing Gas Prices Higher
TL;DR Summary
Trump’s unprovoked strike on Iran has driven crude and refined-oil prices up, with US diesel averaging around $4 per gallon and gasoline near $3.20, according to industry analysts. Futures markets and bank projections point to further rises: Brent crude could reach about $76 per barrel, and potentially exceed $100–$120 if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. The development underscores broad economic risks as markets price in supply shocks and geopolitical uncertainty.
