Gas prices shot up this week in Iowa according to the latest fuel report from AAA and the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship. AAA says the jump is due in part to tensions flaring between the United States, Israel and Iran. The increase happened following several weeks of prices dropping.

Regular unleaded gasoline is up 14 cents per gallon on average in the Hawkeye State, up to $3.06. The national average also rose, increasing by seven cents to $3.14.

Retail diesel prices rose 20 cents this week to $3.48 in Iowa, while increasing by nine cents nationally to $3.60.

Crude oil prices also rose this week, with West Texas Intermediate crude climbing by $7.16 per barrel to $73.78 and Brent crude rising $6.94 to $75.26.
