Category: WARS & RUMORS OF WARS
Summary:
US President Donald Trump’s recent speech, in which he pledged intensified military action against Iran, has caused a significant surge in US crude oil prices, with a rise of over 10 percent reported. This increase comes amid Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial global oil passage, which has already pushed fuel prices upward. As a result, US average gasoline prices are expected to reach between $4.25 and $4.45 per gallon next week, potentially exceeding $5 per gallon if the strait remains closed. Diesel prices are also anticipated to hit record highs within two weeks, possibly surpassing the previous peak of $5.83 per gallon set in 2022.

Scripture: Proverbs 21:31 (NASB 1977)
"The horse is prepared for the day of battle,
But victory belongs to the LORD."
Commentary:
Markets react fast when leaders talk about escalating war, and people feel it right away at the pump. A 30-cent jump on a commute is not theoretical. Proverbs keeps the frame clear: nations may prepare forces and threaten chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz, but outcomes are not finally owned by presidents or prices. This pressure on trade and fuel fits the prophetic pattern of unrest and shaking among nations without offering anyone a timetable. Stay sober. Pray with clean eyes.
Prophetic Trend:
Strategic chokepoints and war rhetoric are amplifying economic pressure, reflecting the prophetic pattern of unstable nations and widening disruption without clear human control.

Richardson during a ceremony in the East Room of the White House in Washington, DC, USA, 02 March 2026. US President Donald Trump’s address to the nation on Wednesday, in which he vowed more aggressive strikes on Iran, has put consumers on course for record fuel prices at the pumps just ahead of the country’s peak summer travel season, market experts said. Americans expected Trump’s speech to outline a plan to end the Iran war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, as Iran’s blockade of the global oil conduit has sent oil and fuel prices skyrocketing, pinching consumers’ wallets. But instead, Trump vowed to bomb Iran back into the “Stone Ages” and said the strait would just open “naturally” when the war ends. The comments sent US crude oil prices surging more than 10 percent on Thursday, and US average retail gasoline prices are now set to climb to between $4.25 and $4.45 a gallon by next week after crossing $4 a gallon for the first time since 2022 at the start of this week, said Patrick De Haan.
