US pain at the pump worsens after more US-Iran fighting lifts oil prices

Gasoline prices in the U.S. are rising again as renewed U.S.-Iran fighting pushed crude oil prices to their largest weekly gain in eight weeks. The shock reverses prior weeks of steady declines, adding near-term cost pressure via higher energy input costs. The direct market impact is likely most relevant for energy and transport-sensitive equities rather than broad macro moves.
