Israel-Iran conflict's impact on your gas prices

Mark Jenkins, Spokesman for AAA - The Auto Club Group joined FOX 35's Garrett Wymer to break down the tensions in the Middle East fueling uncertainty in oil markets after Iran threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz, a critical passageway for global oil shipments. Jenkins talks about factors to watch and what it means for American drivers. FOX 35's Marlisa Goldsmith and Garrett Wymer break down the top news stories of the day, starting with everything we know about Iran attacking the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, a U.S. base in the Middle East. Qatar says all the missiles were intercepted, with no known injuries or casualties. This attack comes just days after the U.S. carried out a surprise attack on three of Iran’s nuclear sites, joining the Israeli war. Iran had vowed to retaliate against the U.S. after American B-2 bombers dropped 14 bunker-buster bombs on three Iranian nuclear sites. Iran has insisted for decades that its nuclear program is peaceful. However, its officials increasingly threaten to pursue a nuclear weapon. Iran has the ability to enrich the purity of uranium and stockpile it. Russia condemned the US strikes and claims Trump's order opened Pandora's Box and constitutes violations of the United Nations charter. Some federal lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have come out against the attack, citing the War Powers Act and arguing President Donald Trump overstepped his Constitutional authority by carrying out an attack without Congressional Approval.
