Christopher Rugaber reports for the Associated Press in the State Journal:
Consumer prices rose 3.3% in March from a year earlier, the Labor Department said Friday, up sharply from just 2.4% in February and the biggest yearly increase since May 2024. On a monthly basis, prices rose 0.9% in March from February, the largest such increase in nearly four years. 
It's the first read on inflation to capture the effects of the Iran war[emphasis added]
