Iran War: Fuel Costs Boomerang on Trump

Gas prices in the United States are rising rapidly due to the war with Iran and its impact on global oil supplies. The average price has increased significantly in recent weeks, causing concern among voters who had supported Trump due to his promise to lower the cost of living. Trump had previously presented low fuel prices as a success of his administration, but is now seeing prices rise following military actions in Iran. Analysts predict further price increases of 10-30 cents per gallon over the next two weeks, while drivers are expressing their frustration and linking the situation to Trump's policies.
