The Trump administration’s war in Iran is reportedly costing American taxpayers $1 billion a day—meaning the overall total could top $200 billion.
Operation Epic Fury, the joint U.S.-Israeli campaign that began Saturday, when strikes killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and dozens of other senior Iranian officials, is now in its sixth day, with more than 1,000 people confirmed dead inside Iran, according to the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency.
Six American service members have also been killed, all in a single Iranian drone strike on a military facility in Kuwait, while the conflict has drawn in Lebanon, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, where NATO air defenses intercepted an Iranian ballistic missile.
