In everyday terms: Drivers in Morocco are paying more at the pump after fuel prices jumped by about 13% on Wednesday. Diesel rose from 12.79 dirhams ($1.37) to 14.50 dirhams ($1.55), while gasoline climbed from 13.92 dirhams ($1.49) to 15.60 dirhams ($1.67). This is the second increase since the war in Iran began.

Global oil markets remain volatile as the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran disrupts supply chains. Iranian retaliatory attacks since late February have damaged airports, ports, and energy facilities in Gulf states, adding pressure on fuel availability and raising inflation concerns worldwide.
