The tenuous state of a US-Iran ceasefire renews anxiety over high fuel prices

The potential unraveling of a fragile truce between Iran and the United States has renewed anxiety over fuel prices.

Oil prices rose to their highest point in weeks after President Donald Trump declared the U.S. ceasefire with Iran over on Wednesday. Trump spoke after Iranian attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz and on American military sites in other Gulf nations. Costlier crude oil could lead to costlier gas station fill-ups. That could happen as drivers in many countries were getting a break from elevated prices brought on by the war.
