Trump’s Iran war leaves US with sharpest fuel shock in G7

trump's iran policy is hitting americans at the pump harder than anyone else in the g7. petrol and diesel prices are rising faster in the us than in the uk, canada, and other major economies. the sharpest fuel shock among the group is now playing out in american households. the price gap comes from the administration's decision to tighten sanctions on iranian oil exports, which has squeezed global supply. the us is more sensitive to those moves because it consumes more fuel per capita and has less refining capacity for alternative crude sources. the uk and canada, by contrast, have seen smaller price increases so far.
