Iran’s Masterstroke: Crushing America From Within With Skyrocketing Gas Prices
The US wants to blockade Iran into submission, but instead stumbled into a trap of its own making - as Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf was only too keen to point out.
“Soon you'll be nostalgic for $4–$5 gas," he trolled the US on X.
US gasoline has risen from $3.00–3.20 to $4+ since the Feb–Mar 2026 US attack & Iran’s retaliatory actions;
After the US imposed its counter-blockade of Hormuz, Brent and WTI oil prices spiked above $100 per barrel While the US produces 13.5M barrels a day, oil is a globally-priced commodity. Global prices rise →American refiners pay more →US drivers pay even more.
Volatility feeds ratings:
Trump’s overall approval has slipped to 35–36% - the lowest of his second term so far (CNN/SSRS/Ipsos).
Ahead of the November 2026 midterm elections, this might be blowback the US can’t ‘drill’ its way out of.
