Gas Prices Climbing Amid Iran Airstrikes, Global Tensions

Oil prices continue to rise as conflict escalates between Israel and Iran, with U.S. involvement now adding pressure. GasBuddy says while prices will likely keep climbing, they don’t expect the extreme spikes circulating across social media. Expect gas prices to rise another 7 to 15 cents nationally this week, and diesel to jump 10 to 20 cents. In Minnesota, gas prices have already climbed 17 cents in the past week, now averaging $3.10 a gallon. National averages sit at $3.18 for gas and $3.64 for diesel. Forecasters warn conditions remain volatile and could shift quickly.
