A U.S. president has attributed recent spikes in gasoline prices to global attacks rather than his administration’s military actions in Iran, rejecting suggestions that the conflict has directly contributed to the surge in fuel costs. The statement comes amid record-high prices at the pump, raising questions about the influence of geopolitical tensions on energy markets. While the president emphasizes external factors as the primary driver, analysts continue to debate the interplay between regional conflicts and domestic fuel economics. The clarification may shape public perception of accountability for rising expenses at the gas station.
