Iran

President Donald Trump on Monday took his Republican midterm rescue mission to Nebraska, where he signed an executive order to ease limits on the tax-free use of red-dyed diesel, a decision he said would save “millions” for farmers and drive down the cost of all goods with just four weeks to go until the elections. Alabama already took that action with diesel prices around $6 a gallon, two and fifty cents more than a year ago in the state.

The widow of an Alabama airman killed on a combat mission in the Middle East said it took a viral social media post to get resolution from the Pentagon on issues related to her husband's benefits and basic pay months after his death.

The website of the Alabama Triple-A says the price at the pump continues to go up as U.S. military action against Iran enters its third week. A gallon of regular unleaded in Alabama costs a dollar more than it did a month ago.
