· 3 pulledThe US-Israel war with Iran is now largely responsible for the highest level of US inflation in three years.
After more than three months of conflict, the Strait of Hormuz remains mostly shut while the Trump administration — faced with an Iranian government unwilling to concede and an Israeli ally that has expanded its invasion of Lebanon — struggles to find a way out.
Right now, those prices are taking more of a toll on American consumers, and Donald Trump's approval rating, as each day passes.
