$1 billion a day: The escalating cost of America’s war with Iran

The financial and human cost of the United States’ involvement in the Iran conflict is mounting rapidly, with early estimates pointing to tens of billions already spent.

Data tracked by Iran Cost Ticker suggests US expenditure has crossed $35 billion since the strikes began, with roughly $11.3 billion spent in the first six days alone and costs continuing at about $1 billion per day. That translates to tens of thousands of dollars every second, underlining the scale of the ongoing military commitment even without a full-scale ground invasion.
