[0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fXhhqmH6DXzT/en/how-the-iran-war-affects-us-gas-and-food-prices?t=8) And the number one reason is the Iran war, because all these other forever wars in Iraq and Afghanistan had some military costs on our military troops, but the population of America, the economy of America, it didn't affect it very much.

[0:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fXhhqmH6DXzT/en/how-the-iran-war-affects-us-gas-and-food-prices?t=24) There were dips during that 20-year period due to a housing crisis in 2007, during COVID, but not due to the war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

[0:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fXhhqmH6DXzT/en/how-the-iran-war-affects-us-gas-and-food-prices?t=34) So this is the war which hasn't created the recession yet, but everybody sees it, and they feel it whenever they go to fill up their gas because they know it costs almost 50% more than it did a year ago.

[0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fXhhqmH6DXzT/en/how-the-iran-war-affects-us-gas-and-food-prices?t=48) And this is causing also a lot of economic fear because everybody knows that trucks carry food to the grocery store.

[0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fXhhqmH6DXzT/en/how-the-iran-war-affects-us-gas-and-food-prices?t=56) Everything will- The price of all the goods are gonna go up.

[0:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fXhhqmH6DXzT/en/how-the-iran-war-affects-us-gas-and-food-prices?t=58) They- The same with electricity bills too. That's right.

[1:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fXhhqmH6DXzT/en/how-the-iran-war-affects-us-gas-and-food-prices?t=60) And by the way, what do you hear in the United States?

[1:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fXhhqmH6DXzT/en/how-the-iran-war-affects-us-gas-and-food-prices?t=62) That Trump is gonna bomb right after the midterms.

[1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fXhhqmH6DXzT/en/how-the-iran-war-affects-us-gas-and-food-prices?t=65) And why? It's because we, the United States, wanted full control of Iran's oil.

[1:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fXhhqmH6DXzT/en/how-the-iran-war-affects-us-gas-and-food-prices?t=71) We wanted to decide how that oil was gonna be pumped and where those proceeds were gonna go.

[1:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fXhhqmH6DXzT/en/how-the-iran-war-affects-us-gas-and-food-prices?t=76) It backfired for them. It backfires for most Americans because they don't understand why they're paying all this price. Yes.

[1:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fXhhqmH6DXzT/en/how-the-iran-war-affects-us-gas-and-food-prices?t=83) They can't understand what's the point of all this.

[1:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fXhhqmH6DXzT/en/how-the-iran-war-affects-us-gas-and-food-prices?t=86) Why are we even fighting this war? What they care about is the stuff where they gotta shell out money, and that's gas in their vehicles, food at the grocery store, and also going to things they think they should be able to afford,

[1:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fXhhqmH6DXzT/en/how-the-iran-war-affects-us-gas-and-food-prices?t=100) like going to McDonald's. It's- So this war is opening up a Pandora's box because parts of the conflict keep popping up, and it will probably go on, on and off for over 10 years, and that will probably get worse before it gets better
