Rising tensions in the Middle East, particularly attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels on Saudi oil tankers in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, have driven Brent crude oil prices above $100 per barrel. This escalation disrupts key shipping routes, depletes strategic reserves, and forces longer, costlier transport routes, leading to higher oil prices. As a result, US gasoline prices, already above $4 per gallon, are expected to rise further, potentially reaching $4.50 to $5.00 per gallon, causing economic strain for consumers. The US government offers little immediate hope for resolution, signaling prolonged high fuel costs ahead.
