US-Iran War Costs $45.1 Billion, Pentagon Reports
The Pentagon has reported that the US-Iran war has cost $45.1 billion, according to statements made to Congress. Reports indicate ongoing tensions between the US and Iran, with claims of secret meetings in Europe regarding potential renewed US attacks in Iran. Iran's army has issued warnings to Arab nations, and Iran itself has cautioned the US and its allies against further attacks. The conflict has also impacted Iran's petrol crisis and has been described as a volatile new front opened by the Houthis. One report mentioned Iran preparing to launch 'Armageddon,' while another detailed an attack in Minab attributed to outdated intelligence, AI, and Pentagon haste.
