Michigan U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin pinned the increase on the war with Iran.

“So probably the first way you are going to see the effects of the war with Iran back home is the price of oil, the price of gas,” Slotkin said on X in a video she posted Thursday. “Iran is situated on the Persian Gulf, which is a place where a lot of the oil traffic, the tankers go back and forth and move oil out of the Middle East onto the world market. Right now, oil prices have already gone up, average gas prices you may have noticed, have gone up by 22 cents in the state of Michigan. The first thing we are seeing in terms of an economic impact with a war with Iran is rising gas prices.”
