Why we checked itSpecific claim that energy/diesel prices have nearly or fully doubled, attributed to the war with Iran — both the magnitude and the causal attribution are verifiable and highly contestable.
What we foundThe war with Iran is genuinely driving up U.S. gasoline and diesel prices, but the increases fall well short of 'almost double' for gasoline and 'double' for diesel compared to pre-war levels.
