About a month into the war with Iran, we spoke with Cameron Joudi, who owns a gas station in Florida, about how the conflict was reaching him at home. He recently reached out after seeing a 20-cent spike in gas prices in the span of just 24 hours. Vivian Nereim, the Gulf bureau chief for The New York Times, tries to answer Mr. Joudi’s question: What’s driving rising oil prices?
