The Iran war is grinding into a stalemate with talk of a nuclear strike on the table, and Americans are paying for it at the pump and the grocery store.

• Trump is publicly weighing wiping Iran out, starving it economically, or cutting a deal, while his approval has fallen to a record low of 29%.
• The Strait of Hormuz stays shut, gas has hit $10 a gallon in parts of California, and food prices keep climbing.
• Diesel is especially tight because refineries and oil tankers keep getting hit in both the Iran and Ukraine wars.
• Washington is tightening the screws with bank sanctions, frozen Iranian assets, and a push to ground Iranian airlines worldwide.
• Rumors of a tactical nuclear strike on Iran's fortified Pickaxe Mountain site are circulating, with Tucker Carlson calling for Trump's removal over the threat.

Outlook: Iran's president speaks at the UN this week, which briefly lifted stocks and eased oil, but advisers warn the war could drag on for years.
