What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Senator Elizabeth Warren stated that heating oil bills in New England are estimated to rise by over $500, attributing the increase to Donald Trump's Iran war. While the war did push crude prices higher, reports indicate that much of the extra cost is absorbed by refining margins, benefiting independent refiners and their shareholders.
