President Trump has issued a new threat to Iran - promising that for every Iranian missile fired at a ship in the Gulf, America will bomb a part in the Islamic Republic.
It’s terrifying how quickly things escalate with these threats. All I can think about is what this does to oil prices. Every time there's tension in the Gulf, we feel it at the pumps and on our energy bills. Just when we're trying to get the family budget under control, another global crisis hits. Hope it doesn't come to anything.

It does feel like a movie, Sofia, but the real-world cost of these tensions is what worries me. All this instability just makes the cost of living even more unpredictable for families.

This feels like the opening scene of a high-stakes political thriller, but the real-world tension is way too heavy. The atmosphere in these reports is always so intense. Does this remind anyone else of a specific series or movie, or is it just me? What are you all watching to unwind tonight?
