Oil briefly topped $100 per barrel due to tensions after attacks linked to the Strait of Hormuz,but later settled around $84.27, higher than pre-conflict levels.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Geopolitical lens: The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >piece ties tighter oil-market risks<\/a> to the Strait of Hormuz and broader Middle East tensions, arguing that shipping crude from major producers has become riskier as a result.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Political analysis: It frames the tension as a test of U.S. leadership and foreign policy, citing President Donald Trump\u2019s statements that short-term oil price spikes are a small price for safety and global security. The article also discusses energy policy moves, including a claim that America is pursuing \u201cREAL ENERGY DOMINANCE\u201d and highlighting a large refinery project in Brownsville, Texas.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Iran policy debate: The author advocates decisive action against Iran\u2019s nuclear and missile programs, suggesting that decapitating leadership could reduce threats and possibly produce a temporary rise in energy prices that is manageable if the management\u2019s timeline holds. It contrasts this with criticisms of the Obama-era nuclear deal and speculates on how Iran might act if it acquires more weapons.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Conditional reasoning: While acknowledging a possible price blip, the piece argues that a controlled, strategic approach could minimize protracted conflict and prevent long-term price volatility, emphasizing deterrence and avoiding broader entanglements.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Additional content notes: The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-man-stunned-after-finally-listening-to-racist-charlie-kirk-and-learning-he-had-been-lied-to-by-everyone\/\" title=\"Watch: Man Stunned After Finally Listening to \u2018Racist\u2019 Charlie Kirk and Learning He Had Been Lied to by Everyone\">article includes social media embeds<\/a> (tweets), promotional material, and ad\/script blocks typical of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnn-axes-more-jobs-amid-biden-era-ratings-slump\/\" title=\"CNN cuts more jobs as ratings decline during Biden era\">online news sites<\/a>, as well as placeholders for additional links and interactive features.<\/p>\n<p>the piece argues that current gas-price fluctuations are tied to geopolitical risk, especially Iran, and frames a strong, interventionist U.S. energy and foreign-policy stance as the path to both security and a temporary, manageable price impact.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s hardly surprising that gas prices are up in the United States. After a showdown with Iran ended in attacks that spread to other Gulf states, the Strait of Hormuz is a dangerous place to be, and shipping crude from the world&rsquo;s biggest producers of energy is going to be a perilous business for a while.<\/p>\n<p>As of Monday, the national average for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/gas-station-accused-price-gouging-hurricane-helene-charging-10-gallon-struggling-citizens\/\">gallon of gas<\/a> was $3.54, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/gasprices.aaa.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AAA&rsquo;s<\/a> national average, up $0.62 from a month ago.<\/p>\n<p>A barrel of oil briefly surpassed $100 for the first time since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/03\/02\/iran-oil-gas-prices-strait-hormuz.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNBC<\/a> noted, before falling once it looked as if the conflict wouldn&rsquo;t be prolonged.

It&rsquo;s more a matter of whether you want that blip now or later.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, Iran&rsquo;s nuclear and ballistic missile programs haven&rsquo;t just been obliterated.

Oil briefly climbed past $100 a barrel-the first time since the Ukraine conflict began-before retreating; it sits around $84.27 now, still higher than the pre-conflict range of $60-$70.<br \/>\n&#8211; The public is understandably anxious about oil prices, but the article notes a possible \u201cendgame.\u201d President Trump suggested that short-term oil prices would fall quickly once the Iran nuclear threat is resolved, arguing the price drop would be a small price for U.S. and global safety and peace.<br \/>\n&#8211; The text then explores different scenarios and policy debates: if no attack occurs, Iran could still obtain nukes and expand its conventional weapons, potentially causing a larger spike in prices (a risk worsened by the Ukraine situation). If the U.S. carries out strikes that decapitate Iran\u2019s leadership, proponents say it could prevent greater conflict and stabilize prices, though the price impact would be temporary.<br \/>\n&#8211; It critiques past U.S. policy (notably Obama\u2019s nuclear deal) as flawed and questions how successive administrations have handled domestic refining capacity. It contrasts that with Trump\u2019s push for energy independence, including a claim about America opening a new refinery in Brownsville, Texas, which supporters view as a major step toward \u201creal energy dominance.\u201d<br \/>\n&#8211; The piece frames regime change as desirable if it stops Iran from pursuing both nuclear and conventional weapons, but emphasizes it would depend on the Iranian people. It argues any price spike would be temporary if strikes are aimed at reducing Iran\u2019s capabilities within a controlled timeline.<br \/>\n&#8211; Throughout, the text frames the debate as between preventing a large, lasting price shock and accepting a possible short-term fluctuation, tied to how foreign policy is conducted and how aggressively Iran\u2019s leadership is deterred.<\/p>\n<p>Note: The passage you provided also contains embedded web page elements and scripts related to video loading; those technical parts aren\u2019t essential to the main narrative and are not included in this paraphrase<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2578561,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ben-Working-Feature-Image-2026-03-11T004804.145.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[75547,75548,54686,3634],"class_list":["post-2578560","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-gasprices","tag-hottake","tag-mediaanalysis","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ben-Working-Feature-Image-2026-03-11T004804.145.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2578560","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2578560"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2578560\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2578564,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2578560\/revisions\/2578564"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2578561"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2578560"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2578560"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2578560"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
