Iran’s parliament speaker says U.S. will be “nostalgic” for $4 gas after Trump’s blockade

Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf posted a map of gas stations near the White House, saying, “Enjoy the current pump figures.”

“With the so-called ‘blockade’, Soon you’ll be nostalgic for $4–$5 gas,” Qalibaf said on X.

As the situation in the Strait of Hormuz sends global energy costs skyrocketing, AAA reports the price of a gallon of regular has increased 40% since the day before the war with Iran began.

When asked in an interview with Fox News on Sunday if the price of oil and gas will be lower before the midterm elections in November, President Trump said: “It could be, or the same, or maybe a little bit higher, but it should be around the same.”
