End the Iran War That's Costing Americans $1.54 More Per Gallon

I need you to oppose the Trump administration's military actions in Iran and push for an immediate end to this war. Gas prices hit $4.51 per gallon this week, the highest since 2022, and they've jumped $1.54 per gallon since this war started on February 28. That's real money out of my pocket every time I fill up. This administration calls it a ceasefire, but Iranian forces have fired on commercial vessels nine times and seized two container ships since early April. U.S. forces have been attacked 10 times. That's not a ceasefire. The blockade Trump ordered on Iranian ports is choking off oil supplies through the Strait of Hormuz and driving prices higher every day. Patrick DeHaan from GasBuddy predicts prices will keep climbing without a peace deal, especially with U.S. gasoline inventories already at multi-year lows. Americans are paying the price for a war we didn't vote for and can't afford. Work toward a diplomatic solution that reopens the Strait of Hormuz and brings gas prices back down. This reckless approach is hurting working families while solving nothing.
