What happened

Well supportedReported by 17 independent outlets

Administration officials stated that Iran is miscalculating if it believes rising prices and midterm elections will weaken the U.S. position in negotiations regarding the conflict. These officials noted that the national average for regular gasoline had reached $4.49 per gallon, up from $3.16 a year prior, due to high crude oil prices and volatility in the Strait of Hormuz. Separately, a national security analyst warned that President Trump’s recent statements suggested intentions of 'nuclear genocide' against the Iranian population.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The high cost of the conflict is being weighed against the potential cost of inaction, according to the administration. Secretary of State Marco Rubio argued that allowing Iran to obtain nuclear weapons would carry a greater price. The current geopolitical tensions and oil price volatility are driving up costs for the average American consumer.
