WATCH: Trump's Energy chief reveals what escalating Iran tensions could mean for gas prices

Energy Secretary Chris Wright is telling Americans not to be concerned about the possibility of another surge of sharp increases in gasoline prices as tensions with Iran have started to escalate once again.

Asked whether Americans should worry about higher prices at the pump and how the Trump administration is preparing to keep the economy stable if the conflict continues to worsen, Wright told Fox News Digital: "It has not been any good behavior from Iran that's allowed oil to flow. It's been the United States military."

"That's not changing," he assured, speaking from the Great American State Fair on the National Mall this week.

With Iran striking three commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Monday and Tuesday, Wright doubled down in urging citizens to not credit Iran for the U.S. military’s work to ensure oil shipments continue flowing through the strait.

"Look, the U.S. Military has been the key asset here," he said. "They have assured the flow of oil and gas through the Strait of Hormuz throughout. Not at the beginning of this conflict, but through the last six weeks."

Wright said the administration is closely monitoring global oil supplies as the tentative ceasefire with Iran seemingly came to come to a halt, with President Donald Trump telling Secretary-General Mark Rutte the call for peace with Iran is "over" at the NATO Summit in Turkey on Wednesday.

But, he pointed to the continued shipping through the Strait as evidence that markets should remain stable.

"We're of course constantly watching the supply of oil, the supply of refined products and what's going on there," Wright said. "And I think still all positive trends."

Beyond geopolitical concerns, Wright also praised the new chain of discounted gas stations across Pennsylvania and New Jersey, Freedom Fuel, which promises customers prices below the national average.

The Trump administration, though not involved with the network, has heavily endorsed the new chain and its 25 locations.

"We love it," Wright said when asked about Freedom Fuel. "I mean, look, any mechanism we can to lower energy costs for Americans of all kinds, we're all in on."

"With Freedom Fuels, they're just lowering it down to their wholesale price of gasoline," Wright said. "So they're not making any money selling gasoline, but they've got convenience stores. That's how most gas stations make money."

Gasoline costs are a known concern for many Americans, and amid surging prices there has been a considerable increase in those opting to purchase electric vehicles to save money long-term at the pump — with Tesla dominating the market for these types of models.

Wright argued one of the benefits to living in America is having the option to choose what type of vehicle you drive.

"We just want people to buy what they would prefer," he told Fox News Digital when asked his thoughts on increasing calls for support of the electrification of cars. "Consumer choice — you wanna buy an electric car, you wanna buy a gas powered car, diesel powered car, buy a big truck. That's the choice."

"That's why you live in America. You get the choice of all those."
