What's new
Oil companies have reported another quarter of very high profits. NPR says the war in Iran has pushed up the price of oil. Fuel prices at the pump have also gone up. The source material gives no exact profit figures or dates for the quarter.
Why it matters

What we don't know yet
The source does not say how much the companies earned or which firms are involved. It also does not give details on how long the price rise is expected to last.
