PNN – The astronomical costs of waging war against Iran have become the latest controversial issue in the American political arena.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, with the approaching midterm elections for Congress in the United States, the astronomical costs of waging war against Iran have become the latest controversial issue in the American political arena and one of the axes of criticism of Donald Trump.
Opponents of the war believe that this conflict has left the United States, Israel, and Arab countries in a worse position than before the war began, and that Iran has gained the upper hand.
On the other hand, the initial official estimates, which were previously announced at $29 billion, are now moving towards hundreds of billions of dollars.
In this regard, the Wall Street Journal reported that the US Department of War has told lawmakers in Congress that it needs an additional $80 billion in funding to cover the costs associated with the war with Iran.
On the other hand, Moody’s estimates indicate that this war has so far caused about $132 billion in damage to the US economy through increased prices of petroleum products (especially gasoline), chemical fertilizers, and other goods.
