President Trump told Fox News' Sean Hannity that higher U.S. gas prices are "the price we have to pay" to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

That trade-off matters because sustained higher gasoline costs would hit household budgets and could shape public support for any confrontational policy toward Iran.
