As President Donald Trump threatens a major escalation in his war against Iran, analysts have placed the cost of the conflict at approximately $500 million per day, with as much as $31 billion spent on the five weeks of bombing seen so far.
In his latest apocalyptic warning to Tehran ahead of the 8 p.m. ET Tuesday deadline he has set for the regime to agree to a ceasefire, the president declared that “a whole civilisation will die tonight, never to be brought back again” unless a deal is reached, promising to decimate the country’s civilian infrastructure.
