Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters Sunday that the &#8220;only reason&#8221; why the U.S. is launching strikes is because of the Islamic Republic&#8217;s attacks on ships in the waterway, which serves as a vital chokepoint for oil shipments.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As the U.S. military degrades the terrorist Iranian regime&#8217;s ability to attack commercial vessels and disrupt the free flow of energy through the Strait of Hormuz, oil and gas prices will plummet back to pre-conflict levels,&#8221; White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said in a statement to CBS News.<\/p>\n<p>Oil prices, which influence the price at the pump, have been rising since early July, CBS News&#8217; energy tracker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/gas-oil-prices-cost-iran-war\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">shows<\/a>. Brent crude, the international standard, rose 1% to $88.98 per barrel Monday and benchmark U.S. crude climbed 0.8% to $82.44 per barrel, according to Oilprice.com.<\/p>\n<p>The rise in gas prices is likely to weigh on voters as U.S. midterm elections approach.
