Gas prices soar, fueling political tensions and economic concerns as the war with Iran escalates. AAA data shows a nationwide average of $3.63 per gallon, up from $2.94 just a month ago. Diesel prices have surged even more. The spike is linked to global oil prices breaking past $100 a barrel, triggered by the shutdown of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Voters blame Republicans, with 74% worried about war-driven gas hikes and 63% expecting prices to rise further. The administration responds with strategic petroleum reserve taps and sanction easing, but midterms loom as a potential political challenge.
