Gas prices have risen to $4.06 per gallon prior to President Donald Trump's scheduled 9 p.m. EST. Since the Iran war began, gas prices have increased by 36%, according to the AAA. During an interview with CBS News, Trump said that gas prices would decrease when the war ends. It has been reported that boots on the ground may be an option, but nothing has been confirmed yet. The U.S. and Israel conducted joint drone strikes on Iran in February due to concerns that the country had missiles.
