  "account": "Gasoline and diesel prices have risen significantly in Spain since the beginning of summer, with the former increasing by 20% and the latter by 24%, according to recent data from the EU's latest fuel bulletin. As of this Wednesday, the average cost of gasoline at pumps is now over €1.72 per liter, marking a 0.9% increase from the previous week. Diesel prices have also climbed to €1.86 per liter, a 1.6% rise. These figures are based on the prices reflected in service stations between August 18th and 24th. Since June, gasoline prices have surged by 19.9%, while diesel prices have jumped 23.8%. These price hikes occur amid a stalemate in the conflict in Iran and new measures being proposed by Washington to further economically isolate the Islamic Republic. On Monday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced further sanctions targeting 60 individuals and entities across various locations, including ships in Iran's ghost fleet responsible for distributing the country's oil.",
