Summary

The W.A.R. Act creates a temporary, refundable tax credit to offset higher commuting, grocery, and utility costs for households earning $80,000‑$160,000 during the U.S.–Israel–Iran conflict. It also makes it illegal for fuel and other essential‑goods sellers to raise prices far above recent averages unless justified by actual cost increases. The measures target middle‑class hardship caused by war‑driven energy price spikes.
