Mar 31, 2026 - A Kuwaiti oil tanker erupted in flames near Dubai on Tuesday in what its owner called Iran’s latest attack on energy targets in the Persian Gulf, as soaring gas prices in the United States pointed to the war’s widening economic fallout.
Iran’s chokehold over the Strait of Hormuz, normally a conduit for one-fifth of the world’s oil supplies, has sent the price of oil skyrocketing and raised fears about fuel supplies across the world as tankers stay away to avoid attacks.
Gasoline in the United States crossed an average of $4 a gallon on Tuesday, a threshold it hadn’t reached since August 2022.

Mar 30, 2026 - President Trump zigzagged from claims of diplomatic progress to renewed threats of destruction on Monday, sending new shocks through oil markets as he sought to pressure Iran to make a deal to end the monthlong war.
Mr. Trump said in a Truth Social post that there had been “great progress” in talks with Tehran but warned that if they failed to produce an agreement, he would order the bombardment of Iranian power plants, oil infrastructure and potentially desalination plants.

Mar 29, 2026 - Israel bombarded Iran with an intense wave of airstrikes on Sunday, and Iran responded by firing ballistic missiles at Israel, even as Middle East diplomats gathered in Pakistan in hopes of finding a way to end the war.
The Trump administration has sent Iran a 15-point plan to end the conflict, delivered via Pakistani mediators. Iranian officials publicly rebuffed the offer. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the Iranian parliamentary speaker, accused President Trump on Sunday of engaging in a front of diplomacy while “secretly planning a ground invasion.”
