California governor: U.S. military action against Iran is "illegal," people are paying for high oil prices

California Governor Gavin Newsom took to social media on the 8th and 9th to criticize the Trump administration for escalating tensions with Iran, which has led to higher oil prices in California and across the United States, forcing American citizens to bear the losses. Newsom pointed out that the Trump administration's initiation of this "costly" and "illegal" war has resulted in increased oil prices, which is essentially "taxing all Americans."
