Rising Fuel Prices Spark Global Protests Amid US-Iran Conflict

Fuel prices have soared globally due to the ongoing US-Iran conflict, sparking protests in various countries. Oil prices climbed above $100 per barrel last week after further US strikes on Iranian oil tankers and fighting in Yemen.

For households relying on heating oil, analysts forecast a 30% jump in prices amid the Iran war. In less wealthy nations, the impact has been even more severe, with patience wearing thin.

Protests have erupted across the globe, from Syria to Guatemala, Portugal, France, and the Philippines. In Syria, demonstrators burned tires on a highway, while in Guatemala, truckers blocked roads to demand government action.
