If you only eat one bagel today, this is the bagel.
Summary
President Trump predicted gas prices would "drop like a rock" after the Iran war ends, but energy analysts disagree, warning that U.S. gas prices are unlikely to return to pre-war levels ($2.98/gallon) for the rest of 2026. Oil analyst Denton Cinquegrana states that consumers can "kiss" the $2.98 average goodbye for the remainder of the year, even if the Middle East conflict ends immediately.
