Gas prices in the U.S. continue to increase, as Iran has effectively blocked the Strait of Hormuz, which sees the passage of about 20% of the world’s oil supply. According to AAA, the national average price for gas reached $3.84 a gallon on Wednesday, rising 5 cents a day. Overall, gas prices have jumped 29% since the war began. This comes as the U.N. warns that 45 million people around the world are at risk of acute hunger due to rising food prices sparked by the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.
