Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has accused the Pentagon of 'lying' about the financial costs of the ongoing US-Iran conflict, claiming that the war has directly cost the United States $100 billion to date. This figure is significantly higher than the $25 billion estimate provided by a senior Pentagon official, Jules Hurst, during a House Armed Services Committee meeting. Hurst indicated that most of the Pentagon's reported costs were for munitions but did not clarify whether this estimate included expenses for repairing damaged infrastructure in the Middle East. Araghchi emphasized that the financial burden on American taxpayers is escalating, with costs per household reportedly reaching $500 monthly. He criticized the US government's support for Israel, stating that 'Israel First always means America Last.' The conflict began on February 28, 2023, and continues to have significant financial implications for both nations.
