Average U.S. retail gasoline prices crossed $3 a gallon for the first time since November on Monday as the conflict in the Middle East worsened, setting up a key test of public approval of President Donald Trump’s decision to attack Iran, analysts said.
Tehran’s retaliation in response to U.S. and Israeli strikes has disrupted global oil supply, as it hit production facilities in neighboring countries and ships in the Strait of Hormuz, a key global trade route. Oil prices have surged, with Brent crude rising more than 5% to nearly $77 per barrel, and fuel prices moving up in tandem with the feedstock costs.


Didn’t Trump take over Venezuela to bring oil below $55?
That is the fun part, trump never took over Venezuela just came in and killed the leader. Just like Iran has not been taken over.
Kidnapped the leader*
Fair enough, not really better but for sure weirder.
