- Republican Rep. Jim Jordan stated that Americans should accept higher gas prices as a necessary cost for the United States' conflict with Iran.
- “Gas prices were coming down until we had to deal with this situation, but that’s life, that’s dealing with the world we live in. When Biden was driving up the gas prices, it was because of stupid regulation and, taxes and everything else, and spending. We all want gas prices to go down,” Jordan said in an interview on CNN with Kaitlin Collins.
- “But we are also concerned about Iran and this regime that’s done so much evil and harm around the world to Americans, to Israelis, to other people, to their own people, for goodness ' sake, for 47 years,” Jordan continued.
- The US war against Iran has seen gas prices rise to $4.53 per gallon and global oil benchmarks like Brent crude exceed $100 per barrel.
- A CNN/SSRS survey revealed that three out of four Americans disapprove of the economy under Trump, blaming his policies, including the war with Iran and tariffs, for increased living costs.
