Iranians Face Anxious Wait as Threat of Attack Looms

- As the November 3 elections approach, voters increasingly link the ongoing eight-month war with Iran to rising economic costs, creating a major liability for President Donald Trump and his Republican allies.
- Disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz have driven petrol prices above $4.27 per gallon as of Thursday, while diesel costs surged 68% to $6.33 since the war began.
- Moody Analytics estimates the war has cost the average U.S. household nearly $2,000, including $1,100 in higher energy prices, while 78% of Americans blame Trump's policies for financial strain.

- Even as Trump suggests renewing all-out fighting after the midterms, experts warn lawmakers will struggle to rein in the President's foreign policy authority despite Democrats' projected House gains.
