The war in Iran has caused a significant rise in energy prices, costing U.S. households about $115 billion more this year on gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.

The conflict has disrupted oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route, keeping prices elevated despite efforts to use alternative supply routes and release reserves. While oil prices may ease if the war de-escalates, they are unlikely to return to pre-war levels soon due to ongoing risks and inventory shortages.
