Energy Secretary Chris Wright has warned that there are no guarantees that President Donald Trump will soon lower gas prices due to the ongoing conflict with Iran. Since the war began, the national average price for gasoline is up 24%, and diesel prices have jumped 32%. Wright argued that Iran's actions were a short-term disruption to the flow of energy and that it was vital to defang this regime. The Trump administration has given mixed messages on Iran, with recent statements suggesting the operation will end when he feels it in his bones.
