SUMMARY: Tensions between Israel and Iran have escalated following Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites, prompting Iranian retaliation. In Kentucky, Rabbi Shlomo Litvin of the Kentucky Jewish Council defended Israel’s actions, citing Iran’s growing nuclear threat. The conflict’s global repercussions are already hitting Americans at the gas pump, with oil prices jumping over 8% to \$74 a barrel. Gas, diesel, and jet fuel prices are expected to rise further, with Lexington possibly seeing 10–20 cent increases per gallon. Analysts emphasize oil pricing is a global issue, minimally influenced by U.S. leadership, and driven by broader geopolitical dynamics.

A decades-long shadow war between Israel and Iran came to its tipping point as Israel launched strikes on Iran, targeting the country’s nuclear and military facilities in the early hours of Friday morning.
