Record diesel prices push Republicans to challenge Trump’s Iran war

  • Republican candidates in solid-red areas called for ending President Trump’s Iran war as diesel prices reached record highs.
  • Trump said the White House is seriously considering a diesel export ban, while analysts warned it could lift global diesel and U.S. gasoline prices.
  • Europe could face deeper supply pressure as Russia and Middle East flows remain disrupted; Hinson and Husted opposed measures limiting Trump’s war powers.
