Average gasoline prices hit $4 per gallon today as the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed. As we’ll discuss below, President Trump doesn’t really care whether it opens again. So, uh, better adjust that gas budget for the long term.

Morning Chaser is back at 10 a.m. EDT. Links below. Happy Tuesday.


🧠 The move:
President Trump is hinting at a potential shift in U.S. military operations in Iran, suggesting discussions with a new regime. This comes as gas prices soar due to ongoing tensions.

Why this fits Global Power Plays:
The dynamics of U.S. foreign policy and military operations in Iran are influenced by international relations and geopolitical strategies. The potential for a new regime in Iran could reshape these interactions significantly.

👥 Who this hits:
This situation impacts American consumers facing rising gas prices and those involved in military operations. The uncertainty could also affect international markets and relations.

👀 What to watch next:

  • Further statements from President Trump regarding military strategy in Iran.
  • Reactions from the Iranian government and implications for U.S.-Iran relations.
  • Market responses to changes in oil prices and military operations.
