Demonstrations broke out in Syria over sharp fuel price increases, with gasoline up roughly 30% and diesel up roughly 40%, a jump attributed to global fuel-price pressure stemming from the ongoing U.S.-Iran war.
Why it matters
The protests show the regional energy shock from the Iran-U.S.-Israel conflict is now destabilizing a third country's domestic politics, widening spillover beyond the direct combatants.
