6:23 : War in the Middle East Updates U.S.-Iran Talks Israel-Lebanon companies repair the damage that has been inflicted on one of the world's most important energy-producing regions. It is likely to be a long time before a gallon of gasoline costs less than $3 a gallon, as it did before the United States and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28. Shortages of certain products like jet fuel and natural gas may also persist in some countries for weeks or longer. ¡We don't expect oil prices — and therefore pump prices - to go back to prewar levels," said Arjun Murti, a partner at Veriten, an energy research and investment firm based in Houston. Think of the Strait of Hormuz, which sits between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula, as a valve. It must be open for energy_to flow. But whether shipping companies reposition tankers and producers turn wells back on will depend heavily on whether they believe that the détente between Iran and the United States and Israel is durable. aawdlannnanandan
