Israel’s attack on Iranian nuclear and military sites on Friday, and the resulting oil-price surge and airline-stock slump, could pose even more obstacles for consumers navigating an already unusual summer travel season.

Gas prices "will likely start to rise across much of the country later this evening in response to Israel's attacks on Iran, which have caused oil prices to surge," Patrick de Haan, the head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said on Friday in a post on X.

Israel’s stunning attacks on Iran’s nuclear program and military leadership are embroiling the Middle East in another deadly war — and could imperil President Donald Trump’s pledge to slash oil prices for American consumers.
