Jim Jordan Downplays Higher Gas Prices Due To Iran War: We Can Live With That'

"I think the American people have common sense, and I think they understand that to stop this regime that for 47 years has killed Americans, killed Israelis, killed others and killed a number of their own people—to stop them from getting a nuclear weapon is a worthwhile objective. And, President Trump is committed to achieving that goal, and if that means prices go up for a time, I think Americans understand, we can live with that."

"The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money. BUT, of far greater interest and importance to me, as President, is stoping an evil Empire, Iran, from having Nuclear Weapons, and destroying the Middle East and, indeed, the World."

Rep. Jim Jordan told CNN that Americans possess common sense to understand temporary gas price increases are acceptable to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. House Speaker Mike Johnson indicated President Trump expects the Iran operation to conclude soon, though Jordan declined to specify a timeline. Oil prices surged 10 percent Thursday, with Brent crude reaching $100 per barrel and U.S. crude exceeding $96. Trump posted on Truth Social emphasizing that while the U.S. benefits as the world's largest oil producer from price increases, his primary concern is preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons and destabilizing the Middle East.
