Gas prices soar to record levels due to war with Iran

  • U.S. gas prices reached a record high of $4.23 per gallon amid the ongoing war with Iran.
  • The surge in gas prices is influenced by a blockade affecting the Strait of Hormuz, causing oil prices to rise nearly 25%.
  • The increase in fuel costs poses risks to household budgets, especially for lower-income families, although current spending on gasoline remains lower than previous peaks.
