00:05as the Iran conflict continues to disrupt global energy supplies.
00:09Prices last reached this level in August 2022,
00:13shortly after Russia's invasion of Ukraine triggered sharp increases in global fuel costs.
00:20Rising oil prices, driven by Iran's partial closure of the Strait of Hormuz,
00:25have pushed fuel costs higher and contributed to higher costs in goods.
00:30Since the conflict began in late February,
00:32U.S. gasoline prices have increased by about $1.06 per gallon, marking a rise of around 36%.

00:46as seen during both the current Iran crisis and the 2022 Ukraine war.
00:51However, current projections suggest that prices may begin to ease within the coming weeks
00:57if supply conditions improve and tensions begin to ease.
