blocking nuclear weapons<\/h2>\n<div class=\"post-update__bodytext\">\n<p>Asked about the Iran war, Vice President JD Vance told Fox News&#8217; Will Cain that &#8220;goal number one&#8221; for the Trump administration is to &#8220;keep oil and gas cheap for Americans all over our country,&#8221; followed by ensuring &#8220;Iran never gets a nuclear weapon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel confident we&#8217;re accomplishing both of those goals, but it&#8217;s inherently an unpredictable thing because the Iranians themselves are unpredictable, and they sometimes don&#8217;t honor the commitments they&#8217;ve made to us,&#8221; Vance said.<\/p>\n<p>As oil shipments remain largely blocked in the Strait of Hormuz, global oil prices are currently above pre-war levels but below their heights during the war&#8217;s early weeks. The Trump administration has pressed Iran to allow ships to pass through the strait, but Iran has said it plans to hold onto some control of the vital waterway.<\/p>\n<p>The benchmark for U.S. crude oil, West Texas Intermediate, stood at around $81 per barrel for next month&#8217;s deliveries as of 5 p.m. Thursday, compared to less than $70 in February and over $110 in April.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The price of gasoline is also elevated, averaging $4.07 per gallon nationwide, compared to $3.16 a year ago, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/gasprices.aaa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AAA<\/a>. In May, the price <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/gas-prices-iran-war-oil-supply\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">surpassed $4.50 per
