"Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace. ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!"
"Rest assured to the American people, the recent increase in oil and gas prices is temporary and this operation will result in lower gas prices in the long term."
"The Washington Post reports that the price of Brent crude, the international oil benchmark, had risen as high as $120 a barrel on Monday before settling around $90 Tuesday morning. There are few signs that that volatility in gasoline and oil prices will end anytime soon, considering the conflict in Iran has shown no signs of abating."
Gas prices have risen approximately 40 cents per gallon to $3.54 nationally, marking the highest prices since 2024, driven by escalating military tensions with Iran. President Trump previously highlighted low gas prices during his State of the Union address but has shifted messaging as prices climb. The administration characterizes the price increases as temporary, arguing they are justified by national security benefits. Brent crude oil reached $120 per barrel before settling around $90, reflecting significant market volatility. White House officials maintain that gas prices will decline once the Iran conflict concludes, though the conflict shows no signs of ending and Trump has threatened further military involvement.
