US gas prices hit $4 per gallon, as Trump threatens to blow up Iran’s energy facilities
The average US gas price has hit $4 per gallon, the highest since 2022, as energy costs rise amid ongoing conflict with Iran. The US and Israel have conducted multiple strikes on targets in Iran, with the USS Tripoli, carrying US Marines, currently in the Indian Ocean.
US gas prices have reached $4 per gallon, a level not seen since 2022. This increase is closely tied to crude oil prices, which have surged over 50% since the US and Israel first struck Iran. Explosions have been reported in Tehran and other Iranian cities, with multiple strikes conducted by Israel's military. A Kuwaiti oil tanker was also attacked in Dubai waters by Iran. The USS Tripoli, an amphibious assault ship carrying US Marines, is currently in the Indian Ocean. The Pentagon is set to hold a press briefing about the war later today.
