In Pakistan, Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik announced that fuel prices would now be adjusted daily rather than weekly, citing wild fluctuations in global oil markets caused by renewed hostilities between Iran and the United States in the Persian Gulf. The government thanked citizens for “patiently bearing the burden of this war,” while also announcing targeted subsidies to ease the pain at the pump. The shift underscores how distant geopolitical conflicts ripple through the daily lives of millions.
