My name and my faith are not raising your gas prices.
Michigan, United StatesOn October 31, 2026, Abdul El-Sayed spoke out in Michigan regarding rising gas prices and their connection to the ongoing conflict in Iran. He stated, "My name and my faith are not raising your gas prices. They're not the reason you can't afford your groceries. Not the reason you can't see a doctor." El-Sayed attributed the economic struggles to policies related to the war in Iran, claiming that it is these policies that are driving up costs for everyday Americans.
El-Sayed emphasized that the issues of affordability in groceries and healthcare are not due to individuals but rather the consequences of what he described as an "illegal, unjustifiable, unethical, unnecessary war in Iran." His remarks highlight the intersection of domestic economic concerns and foreign policy, reflecting a growing sentiment among some Americans regarding the impact of international conflicts on local economies.
