Astonishing cost of Iran war revealed

The astonishing cost the US is paying to attack Iran has been revealed.

The Trump administration has said it spent $US5.6 billion ($7.8bn) in munitions alone just the first two days of the war, reported Reuters.

There are some reports the conflict is costing $US2bn ($2.8bn) per day meaning the cost could be around $35 billion so far.

The White House has not publically released the figures. But it is soon expected to request a further $US50 billion ($70bn) from Congress to fund the war, although Reuters said some Washington staffers believe that figure is low.

While drones are relatively cheap, costing tens of thousands of dollars each, Tomahawk missiles can cost millions.

Democratic Senator Chris Murphy, who was part of a two-hour classified briefing on Tuesday night, US time, has said the Trump administration’s plans for the conflict were “incoherent and incomplete” and threatened an “endless war” as the US went continually back to knock out Iran’s military after it was rebuilt.

  1. The IRGC will eventually have to pay reparations for the economic damage they are causing. Besides the lives and property in neighboring countries, the financial losses to commercial shipping and airlines etc.

  2. mfer, u want the final cost to be counted?

    The zionist state is enacting the process of deploying its nuclear arsenal in the very near term when the Iranian hypersonic & heavy loaded missiles finally making.g their tolls on that tiny pact of coastal landthat these mfering zionists plunderedfrom the Palestinian natives.

    These mfering zionists had enacted similar schemes before in their earlier wars with the Arabs, under stressful & desperado situations.

    The Yankee's eventual helping hands to protect the zionist state, saved them from progressing that ruffian nuclear deployment.

    It's in the blood of these rednecked zionists to pull this final act of desperation, such that NO ONE can win over these self claimed god's chosen people despite their eons repatriated wandering experiences.

    So count yr mfering atomic flame when it's been ignited, mfer - wet dream or otherwise!
