Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi has accused the Pentagon of misleading the public over the financial toll of the war launched by Donald Trump alongside Benjamin Netanyahu on 28 February.
In a post on X, Araghchi wrote: “Pentagon is lying” about the economic cost of the conflict.
“Netanyahu’s gamble has directly cost America $100b so far, four times what is claimed,” he said.
“Indirect costs for US taxpayers are FAR higher. Monthly bill for each American household is $500 and rising fast. Israel First always means America Last.”
