Quote of the Day
“[The Iran War estimate increased] because of updated repair and replacement of equipment cost, and also just general operational cost.””
The cost of the Iran war has ballooned $4 billion since the Pentagon’s last public estimate less than two weeks ago, officials said Tuesday—though the economic costs of the war are likely significantly higher, closer to $200 billion.
