Analysis Summary
This is accurate. Gas is sitting around $4.10-$4.16 nationally as of mid-April, confirmed by multiple sources. The WSJ's core claim holds: despite the ceasefire announced April 8, prices have stayed elevated because even with a tentative deal, energy infrastructure damage takes months to repair, tanker traffic hasn't fully resumed, and the ceasefire itself is fragile—Iran has already threatened to withdraw. The framing emphasizes consumer pain but underplays that prices actually fell 7-16% immediately after ceasefire was announced, showing brief relief before climbing back as doubts set in.

Americans face this reality despite tentative ceasefire in Middle East
Even after ceasefire, Israeli strikes on Lebanon prompted Iran to shut the Strait of Hormuz again. Oil and gas production in Middle East faces a months-long process toward normalization even with ceasefire in place. Experts note infrastructure damage extends recovery timeline.
