As President Donald Trump’s deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz looms, gas prices are continuing to climb nationwide as the conflict drives up crude oil costs.<\/p>\n

The Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between Iran, the United Arab Emirates and Oman, is one of the world\u2019s most critical energy choke points.<\/p>\n

Fuel costs are rising as Trump issued a profanity-laced warning to Iran, giving the regime until Tuesday, 8 p.m. ET to allow vessels through the key waterway \u2013 or face strikes on its critical infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The national average now stands at $4.13 per gallon, up about 89 cents from a month ago, according to AAA. Costs are climbing across nearly every region, with some states already well above the U.S. average.<\/p>\n

On the West Coast, drivers are seeing the highest costs, with prices reaching $5.93 per gallon in California and $5.39 in Washington.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, on the East Coast, gas prices have surpassed $4 in several areas, including $4.28 in Washington, D.C., and $4.10 in New York.\u00a0<\/p>\n

SAN FRANCISCO BECOMES FIRST US CITY WHERE DIESEL PRICES TOP $8 A GALLON<\/p>\n

In the Midwest, Illinois stands out at $4.36 per gallon, while much of the region remains in the mid-$3 range. Southern states remain comparatively cheaper, though prices are rising there as well. Texas and Alabama are averaging $3.84, while Florida is higher at $4.18.<\/p>\n

Diesel has climbed to $5.64, up about $1.13 over the past month. As a key fuel for freight, shipping and public transportation, it is especially sensitive to supply disruptions.<\/p>\n

In San Francisco, prices have surged even higher. For the first time on record, average diesel costs have surpassed $8 per gallon, according to new data from GasBuddy \u2013 marking an unprecedented milestone for any U.S. city.<\/p>\n

The surge underscores the broader economic risks tied to the standoff, as uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz continues to weigh on energy markets.<\/p>\n
