Experts estimate US war with Iran could cost $2 billion daily

Washington D.C. Experts suggest that the conflict with Iran could be costing the United States nearly $2 billion per day. Specialists studying the economic impact of global conflicts state that the war is placing immense pressure on the American economy.

According to Stephanie Savell, director of the Costs of War project at Brown University, the U.S. has already spent billions on weapons, military deployment, damage to American assets, and other categories. She notes that every day the war continues, it adds a significant burden to the national debt. 

Previously, the Pentagon informed the U.S. Congress that $11.3 billion was spent in the first six days of the conflict. However, Savell suggests the actual costs could be even higher.

Similarly, Linda Bilmes, a defense budget expert at Harvard University, has stated that the daily cost of the war has reached nearly $2 billion. Experts warn that the impact of such high spending will ultimately fall on ordinary American citizens. The war has caused fluctuations in fuel prices, contributing to rising inflation. 

The conflict is also expected to have long-term effects on trade uncertainty and insurance costs. Meanwhile, the White House has requested an additional $200 billion budget for the Iran war. Savell notes that this is a massive sum, signaling that the war is likely to continue for a long time.
