A heated showdown unfolds in Washington as US Energy Secretary Chris Wright faces intense grilling from Democratic lawmakers over surging fuel prices amid escalating tensions with Iran. During a high-stakes House committee hearing, leaders including Marcy Kaptur and Rosa DeLauro blamed the administration’s military actions for triggering a sharp spike in gasoline costs, now averaging $4.12 per gallon. Lawmakers warned of a deepening cost-of-living crisis, citing record monthly increases and a 40% surge in fuel prices. But Wright pushed back, defending the policy as a necessary step toward ending decades of conflict and securing global energy stability.
