Iran war has cost average American household $1,000: Moody's economist
A Moody's Analytics economist estimated that the US-Israel war with Iran has cost the average American household $1,000, driven by higher gasoline and diesel prices. Gasoline prices peaked at $4.56 per gallon in May, while increased transport costs pushed grocery prices up by $200 per household. US inflation reached a three-year high in May.
