Trump's Unauthorized Iran War Hits American Wallets With $107 Billion Gas and Diesel Price Tag

  • President Donald Trump has claimed at least 66 times that America has "won" the ongoing war against Iran, despite rising casualties and extensive damage to military infrastructure across the Middle East.
  • Americans have collectively spent $107 billion more on gas and oil since the war began seven months ago, with consumers paying roughly $59 billion for gas and $48.6 billion for diesel.
  • America has spent upward of $33.4 billion on the war effort, with $184 million in damages to diplomatic facilities in Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.
  • A poll published by the Eurasia Group Institute for Global Affairs found support for the war fell by 6 percent, sinking to a 40 percent approval rating.
  • Trump pledged earlier this month that the conflict will end "immediately" after the midterm elections, though officials have discussed the possibility of the war extending beyond Inauguration Day.
