The financial cost of the US-Iran conflict is becoming a major political flashpoint in Washington as estimates of the war’s price tag sharply diverge. The Pentagon says military operations have cost around $25 billion so far, mostly on munitions and deployments, while Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi claims the real figure has already crossed $100 billion when broader economic impacts are included. The debate is intensifying ahead of crucial US midterm elections.
