Iran war: US gasoline prices surge as conflict escalates

The national average price of gasoline in the US has risen to $4 a gallon, marking the highest level since August 2022. This increase is attributed to geopolitical tensions, including Iran's plan to charge fees for ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz. Additionally, airstrikes around Tehran have escalated, with reports of damage to residential buildings. A Kuwaiti oil tanker anchored in Dubai was also affected by strikes, leading to a fire that has since been extinguished. The situation remains dynamic with ongoing military actions and regional instability.
