How much will US have to pay for Trump’s war on Iran?
The US’s strikes on Iran, which are likely to drag on for weeks, have come with a burgeoning price tag. Apart from direct military costs, the broader economic fallout is likely to be massive. We put out the math.Donald Trump may have launched Operation Epic Fury against Iran with an armada of missiles and bravado, but its impact on the American wallet is likely to be of epic proportions as well.
With Iran showing considerable resilience, despite the loss of its Supreme Leader, the war is likely to drag on for at least four weeks, Trump has predicted. Early estimates suggest the Iran conflict could drain up to $210 billion (Rs 17.4 lakh crore) from the US economy, according to Kent Smetters, one of America’s top economic experts.
