Is US residents are paying for President Trump’s Mistake of fueling the ongoing Iron – Israel War?

US residents are under significant financial stress as gas and diesel prices, are getting higher with no immediate relief anticipated. Will people in US retaliate towards the government over this intense price hike of gas and diesel?

The recent price hike in gas and diesel in US, shows that how US intervening the wars that US don’t own, affecting them indirectly, either it is Iran - Israel war or Russia – Ukraine war. The national average for diesel has broken records to reach $6.301 per gallon while standard gasoline has increased to $4.355 per gallon with no relief at all.

The assumptions from experts are indicating that the price of gas and diesel can get higher for long time; a gas expert from US said “consumers should plan on higher prices for longer.” The most affecting people are farmers, drivers and truckers.

Energy experts explains a far more severe scenario, regardless of political leader’s insistence that the rise is a temporary result of armed disputes like Iran – Israel and Russia – Ukraine war. It is very unlikely that gasoline and diesel prices would go back to pre-war levels until at least mid-2027, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).

According to the chief energy adviser of Gulf oil, the recent attack from Houthis in the Red Sea has been ‘particularly impactful.’ And US doesn’t have the refining capacity as it takes to get the situation normal and US not looking Russian oil as an option to get domestic fuel prices under control.

The locals are getting devastated with the fuel price hike as its blowing the pockets of people whose work heavily relies on the fuel. A local truck driver Lewie Pugh while talking to ABC news claimed that truckers pay about $400 extra per tank for every $1 increase in diesel prices. It has cost an additional $800 to fill up certain weeks.

Further he added “Trucking has a very slim profit margin already. There's just not a lot of profit in trucking. I've always said it was a penny saved business, not a penny made business, so when you're already constrained and something like this happens to this magnitude, you just can't absorb it as a motor carrier. They just can't. There's no way – they'll be out of business tomorrow.”
