Trump urges patience on gas prices to stop Iran nuclear progress
The article discusses U.S. President Donald Trump's call for Americans to pay more for gasoline due to the ongoing war with Iran and its impact on shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump emphasizes that bearing these additional minor costs is an acceptable price to pay to ensure Iran does not acquire a nuclear weapon, amid the deterioration of vessel movements and the decline in the passage of over 130 ships per day prior to the war. Additionally, recent attacks on oil tankers have raised concerns about the security of shipping in the strait. Iran insists that any closure or reopening of the strait is solely at its command, with conflicting statements from the United States and Iran regarding control over the strait. The rise in oil prices, driven by maritime disruptions, presents significant political and economic risks—especially in the U.S., where opposition to higher fuel prices is increasing and former President Trump is keen to reduce costs for consumers.
