# $5 fuel alert: Impact of Iran conflict on every American at the gas station

Gas prices in the United States have surged past four dollars per gallon, with JPMorgan predicting they may reach five dollars by summer due to the ongoing conflict in Iran, which has kept the Strait of Hormuz shut. This situation has resulted in a loss of 13 million barrels per day from the global supply — marking the most significant energy disruption ever. Entities such as Goldman Sachs, the EIA, and Saudi Aramco indicate that a return to normalcy is not expected until 2027.
