How long can the US afford to wage war on Iran?


Listen Later

The cost of the US-Israeli war on Iran has been mounting since the conflict began on February 28.


In the first six days of ‘Operation Epic Fury,’ the US spent $11.3 billion. By day 12, that figure surged to $16.5 billion.


As of March 19, new estimates suggest the total has crossed the $18 billion mark. So, how much longer can the US afford to wage war as Iranians fight back with its stockpiles of cheap drones and ballistic missiles?
