Iran war effects: Petrol price increased by $3.68 per gallon in America 

The US is paying a heavy price for the war against Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has led to an oil shortage, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Sunday.
According to the American Automobile Association, the average price of petrol in the country has increased to $3.68 per gallon.
Since the war began, the average increase in petrol prices has been about 23 percent.
The price of Brent crude in the global market closed at $103.14 per barrel after increasing by 2.67 percent.
Crude oil rose by 3.11 percent to $98.71 per barrel.
According to the US Energy Information Administration, the average price of diesel this week reached a record level of $4.85 per gallon.
Before the attacks on Iran, this price was $3.71 per gallon.
The increase in jet fuel prices has also made air travel more expensive.
The increase in diesel price is likely to increase shipping and logistics costs.
The halt in the supply of essential goods, including fertilizer, is also likely to increase the prices of food and beverages.
The US economy is being badly affected by the Iran war.
Internal and external pressure is increasing on President Trump to end the war soon.
