# US drivers could face high gas prices even after Iran peace deal, experts explain

> Analysts say oil prices could fall sharply if a peace deal ends the Iran conflict, but disrupted shipping, higher war-risk insurance, damaged refineries, and delays restoring Iranian production could keep fuel prices elevated. They estimate an oil-price drop of $15–20 could occur within days of an agreement, while shipping and production recovery could take weeks or months.

## Why it matters

A peace deal could ease crude prices, but lingering shipping and refining bottlenecks may keep diesel and other fuel supplies tight, sustaining transport and feed-delivery costs. The competing forces point to lower crude but continued upward pressure on diesel prices.
