Energy Secretary Guarantees War Will Cause Gas Pain, Maybe Forever
KEY POINTS
- •Energy Secretary Chris Wright said Sunday that there are no guarantees when gas prices will fall amid the Iran war.
- •Trump announced on Truth Social multiple countries would send warships to the Strait of Hormuz to protect global economies.
- •The Energy Information Administration forecast gas prices won’t return to pre-conflict levels before the end of 2027.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright just blessed us Sunday with the priceless news that gas prices may never drop below their post-Hormuz hijinks highs until 2028—because nothing says 'short-term disruption' like a five-year waiting game. Wright, speaking from ABC News' 'This Week,' declared 'no guarantees in wars,' except maybe a $5-a-gallon déjà vu peak, which, spoiler, you might get again. Meanwhile, Trump’s tweeting a naval reunion tour featuring China, France, Japan, and South Korea to gatecrash the Strait of Hormuz like a geopolitical party crasher. And Diane Swonk from KPMG predicts prices falling only slightly, still screaming loudly from a 'higher plateau.' It’s like gas prices went to Hogwarts but chose Slytherin—and Trump’s flexing by 'totally demolishing Kharg Island,' with plans to 'hit it a few more times just for fun.' Because why budget rebuilds when you can budget bonfires?

(1 of 3)Energy Secretary assures us that gas prices will remain high, but at least we're paying for a forever war that promises catchy slogans and occasional island explosions. War never guarantees peace or cheap fuel, but hey, gas will go down someday... probably around 2099.
Chris Wright says no gas price guarantees but guarantees war’s mess is worth your $5-plus-per-gallon heartbreak. Military strategy or the latest subscription plan?
Gas prices won’t fall till 2027, Trump says the war’s end is when he feels like it, and Kharg Island just got 90 new dents. This policy rollout has fewer guarantees than a toaster warranty.
