Iran war costs U.S. at least $42 billion as Saudi airstrikes add regional escalation
The Pentagon puts the U.S. cost of the Iran war at at least $42 billion, while reports say Saudi Arabia carried out 52 airstrikes in 24 hours. The war is also driving inflation and straining U.S. weapons supplies.
The higher confirmed cost and expanded Saudi military activity indicate worsening regional escalation alongside growing pressure on U.S. finances and military readiness.
