What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Dearborn is filling its municipal fuel reserves as a preemptive measure against potential fighting between the U.S. and Iran. Mayor Abdullah Hammoud stated the move was prompted by concerns that conflict could cause global supply-chain instability and gas price spikes, disrupting city services. The city purchased 20,000 gallons of diesel and gas for $75,000, which will sustain operations for four to six weeks.
