John Thune noted that high gas and diesel prices are causing economic frustration for Americans. He linked the potential opening of the Strait of Hormuz to reducing these high fuel costs and stabilizing the global energy supply.

Iranian attacks in Hormuz have led to a rebound in gas prices, while President Donald Trump's policies have led to U.S. entanglement with Iran.
