Iran drops $100 billion bombshell as Pentagon’s $25 billion war cost claim faces serious doubts

Iran has ignited a fresh political storm by claiming the U.S. has already spent $100 billion on the ongoing conflict, far exceeding the Pentagon’s official estimate of $25 billion. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused Washington of hiding the true cost, linking the surge to what he described as Netanyahu’s risky war strategy. The explosive claim comes as scrutiny grows in Washington over military spending and accountability. With tensions still high and fears of renewed conflict looming, the debate over the real price of the Iran war is now becoming a major flashpoint.
