Diesel prices in the United Kingdom have reached a record high of £2 a litre, according to the Guardian. The surge is linked to the war involving Iran and its impact on global oil markets, with the story tagged under economy and energy news. Motorists and hauliers face sharply higher fuel costs as the price climbs.
Why now: A record fuel price spike driven by the Iran conflict directly affects household and business costs.
