Diesel Prices Soar Past $6 a Gallon Amid Iran War

Diesel prices in the US have reached a record high of over $6 per gallon on average, up from $5.85 last week and nearly double what they were this time last year, according to motor club AAA.

The surge in diesel prices is largely due to Washington's war with Iran, which has disrupted the global flow of fuel and driven up the cost of crude oil.

This has a ripple effect on the economy, particularly for businesses that rely heavily on transportation networks powered by diesel. Shoppers can expect to see higher prices at the grocery store, especially for perishable foods such as meat and produce, which require frequent hauling and restocking.
