Trump urges restraint on gas prices to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions

U.S. President Donald Trump called on Americans to accept a slight increase in gasoline prices resulting from the ongoing war with Iran and the disruption of shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. He emphasized that this is necessary to prevent Iran, which he described as an "evil state," from acquiring nuclear weapons. The halt in shipping through the Strait, one of the world's most important oil passages, has led to a rise in crude oil prices by about a dollar per barrel, along with a decrease in the number of tankers passing through the strait. The increase in fuel prices puts Trump in a difficult position, as it contradicts his promises to lower energy costs, and his Democratic opponents are exploiting this issue in the context of upcoming elections. The risk of attacks on oil tankers is escalating, with Iran continuing to impose restrictions on navigation in the strait, which it describes as a blockade, while the United States insists that control of the strait can only be enforced with Iran's permission.
