US War Against Iran Costs Over $132 Billion, Inflicts Civilian Casualties

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, data published by Mehr News Agency and highlighted in The New York Times reveals that the financial toll of American aggression against Iran since February 28 has reached approximately $132 billion.

The report details that the American-Zionist aggression against Iran and Lebanon resulted in the casualties of 3,500 individuals in Iran and 3,700 in Lebanon, alongside an attack on a children’s school in Minab.

Direct military expenditures for this aggression amounted to $29 billion, covering the reconstruction of damaged American bases, replacement of expended ammunition, deployment of aircraft carriers, and repairs to American assets in Saudi Arabia.

Disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and a surge in oil prices led American consumers to pay an additional $60 billion for fuel, with transportation costs also escalating.

Furthermore, the interference with this vital waterway caused a shortage of sulfur, a primary component in fertilizers. International experts have warned of the severe consequences of rising food prices and the potential for widespread famine globally.
