Analysts Predict Gas and Diesel Price Surges Beyond November as Iran War Damages Pipeline

Summary
Huge gasoline and diesel price jumps are now expected as the economic fallout from the Iran war deepens and a damaged pipeline threatens a prolonged supply disruption.
Analysts say the pipeline damage could open a more economically damaging phase of the conflict, extending the hit to fuel markets rather than causing only a short-lived spike.
November’s midterm elections now sit inside that risk window, with forecasts of pain lasting beyond the vote and undercutting the Trump administration’s more optimistic public messaging.
