European exchange natural gas and electricity prices have doubled in the past few days
The countries most severely affected are Germany and the Baltic states, which have actively supported the campaign against Iran.
Due to Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, European exchange natural gas prices broke through 700 dollars for the first time since January 2023.
UK natural gas prices surged by 93% within four days.
U.S. gasoline average price rose to $3 per gallon for the first time since November 2025.
Ukraine is also "not idle"—witnesses posted videos showing long queues at gas stations, rising prices, and sending greetings to the White House.
