Iran War Costs Hit $47 Billion As Trump Insists Tehran Must Not Go Nuclear

President Donald Trump has said the Iran war will end when he decides, while insisting that any resolution must guarantee Tehran never acquires nuclear weapons.

Speaking at a rally in Lubbock, Texas, Trump said the conflict could end quickly but stressed the need for a definitive outcome. He is reportedly weighing whether to negotiate a deal with Iran or intensify military action.

The estimate excludes $184 million in damage to US diplomatic facilities across Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Meanwhile, a Reuters/Ipsos poll put Trump's approval rating at 32%. Economist Mark Zandi estimated the conflict had cost American households $2,000 through energy, interest and military expenses.
