Gas Prices Jump to Wartime High as Iran Tensions Keep Markets on Edge

Gas prices surged to a wartime high of $4.39 per gallon as Iran tensions persist, marking the largest one-day jump since early April and keeping crude around $102 a barrel (Brent about $108). Analysts warn prices could remain elevated even if fighting ends due to potential continued disruption of the Strait of Hormuz, while political debates over War Powers and U.S. strategy add uncertainty to energy markets.
