Gas prices in the US reached an average of $4.05 (£3.33) on Friday, price monitor website AAA says, as the war in Iran continues to affect oil and gas prices globally.
On Thursday, President Donald Trump said people can expect to pay more for gas “for a little while”.
He added: “You know they get for that? Iran without a nuclear weapon that’s going to try and blow up one of our cities, or blow up the entire Middle East.”
Before the conflict began, average gas prices were recorded by the AAA as below $3 (£2.22). The AAA said on Thursday that prices are the highest they’ve been during this time of year since 2022.
