Iran war causes global pain at the pump

The Iran war is driving fuel prices higher worldwide, causing protests and straining economies of countries uninvolved in the conflict. Price increases vary by country, with import-dependent nations like Pakistan and Myanmar seeing steep hikes. The U.S., the world's largest oil producer, also faces soaring prices. World Bank data shows an upward global trend, squeezing consumers and worsening government finances, especially in poorer nations.
