Iran war costing $1.5 billion per day: What You Need To Know – Thursday, March 12, 2026

Only $1.5 billion per day? But that's money well spent - the money will be a great boon to the profits of the military contractors and the oil companies. I'm sure glad that president Trump balanced the federal budget to pay for the war. Oh, the federal budget deficit this fiscal year will hit $2TRILLION.

Nothing is too expensive to buy or do when the U.S. taxpayer is fitting the bill.

Trump is weak, Kamala wouldnt have let this happen

war is two fold it is not cheap and on the other hand it is big on making money so pointing out how much it is coasting with out how much we stand to make is disingenuous designed to get an emotional response from ignorant people.

In response? Israel invaded Lebanon, not the other way around.

Oh dramatic music hahahaha. While they all feed us BS.

It cost 1 billion a day but can't afford to keep the penny coin in usa why😂🧐🙈🤦‍♀️🥺🤨

Trump will be the downfall of America and its economy😂😂😂😂

Too bad Democrats spent so much money on fraudulent & illegal immigrats healthcare

We are love USA
We are hate Iran

Destroying to iran

Trump's own GW Bush Mission Accomplished moment, both premature and both 100% false.

Media outlets that deliberately twist facts and spread anti-U.S. propaganda should be held accountable. Publishing misleading narratives that undermine national interests and damage the morale of U.S. troops serving in dangerous conditions is irresponsible and unacceptable. must face legal suits.

Why wasn't fake news ABC giving these statistics when sleepy Joe Biden caused the war in Ukraine?

Make the jew occupation pay.

But the defense contractors are making a ton and feeding their kids caviar

😢😢

❤❤ you remember the film gone with the wind.. this is the Gulf and Israel gone with the wind😢😢 is

That's still less money than the Federal money laundering fraud that was discovered in some states, as well as the funds going to bogas organizations and illegal immigrants.

1.5 billion, heck the Learing center in MN went through BILLIONS ... plural .. dems don't care as they work to support Hamas!

Trump did this for Israel.
This war is costing Israel nothing. Why?
Taxes are for repayment of war debts? How will Israel be Taxed? How will Israel repay Americans?

That's a low estimate from the biggest source of unaccounted financing.

If they get the job done and we can get peace in the middle east it will be worth every penny, if Russia loses drone source in war against Ukraine, it will be worth it, If Xi thinks twice about invading Taiwan it will be worth it. Funny how the news never gave us daily costs on the aid to Ukraine. How many oil shocks has Iran caused in the last 47 years long past the time to stop the insanity. I've got like 6 years of my life sitting in the sand box because of Iran, come talk to me in six months not 12 days. If they finish this thing in 5 weeks it will the be the greatest military victory in the history of the country, that is saying a lot, but 35 days to take out the number one sponsor of terror. Think the news media needs to support the troops who are doing amazing things, your hatred of Trump is spilling over into your hatred of America and any possible chance of victory. Very sad, lets see in five weeks sort of like the egg thing all over again. We survived 5 dollar Biden gas for way more than 5 weeks.

Praise the lord we can be starved into paying for it!

TRUMP MUST END HIS NETANYAHU WAR. STAND DOWN. CEASE FIRE NOW. SAVE AMERICA'S ECONOMY. SAVE CHILDREN, INNOCENT PEOPLE. WAR CRIMES VERDICT AWAITS YRUMP AND NETANYAHU

Brought to you by the self proclaimed "no new wars" and "peacetime" President who promised to end wars on day one and lower grocery prices on day one. FDT

Stop saying "we" or "the US." It's that shithead Trump who's pushing all the buttons. He's hellbent on leaving his name in infamy and the best way is to start a war. You voted for him.

U put 20 million potential terror cell members in luxury hotels and gave them debit cards AND food...lick em

Operating a Carrier Task Force is the same whether it is conducting attacks, or visiting a liberty port. The difference is the cost of jet fuel, and bombs.

Voting has consequences

ABC and Disney are garbage.

What a joke! You people complain about money spent to keep us safe but dont give a sh_ t about the 30 billion the Somalians stole in Minnesota or Ohio!
ABC is as fake a network as there is ! I hope they get shut down ! 😂😂😂

Thank you for sharing this information. Solid objective reporting is hard to find in the USA. As it is in other authoritarian states. I don’t for one millisecond believe a foreign nation’s drones will be in the USA. It’ll be a false flag.

I think it's funny that the administration and media are pushing that Iran wanted to strike California.
Use your heads people. Every Coast in the United States is open to the same threat and always has been, for any Nation wanting to strike the US. Doesn't matter what country it is. Remember this administration has bombed eight Nations..."EIGHT", just this year. They have killed civilians, worked to enable three different regime changes, basically made enemies all over the globe, including Iran.
This is nothing more than this administration's attempt to make people emotional so they can be manipulated. It will either be fear or anger. Fear that they can be reached and touched by violence or angry that somebody would want to retaliate against the United States.
This is the very reason why ALL WARS are supposed to be voted on by Congress, our representation in government, that way, it is a choice made by the people not by one person. This is especially true whenever there was NO IMMINENT THREAT TO THE UNITED STATES!!!!
The constitution, who would have ever figured that that was going to be important... What they swore their oath to... and something that should be followed as law 🤷‍♂️?

Quote, The welfare of the people, in particular, has always been the alibi of tyrants. Albert Camus.

No money for health care or infrastructure, but we can burn $1.5B EVERY DAY on yet another pointless middle east war.

Get America out of bed with Israel!

Israel is America's downfall!!

So the billions of fraud money in Minneapolis alone could have funded this with money to spare? Or, can you put a price on the devastation from an Iranian nuclear weapon used against the USA in NYC or LA? Are you that stupid to think Iran is only kidding about their intended agenda of death to America? Reminds me of Neville Chamberlin returning from Berlin waving that useless paper Hitler signed promising to be nice. How did that work out? Want to put a price on WWII?

Nope, it’s $1.88 Billion.
As per Pentagon’s announcement: $11.3 Billion for the first 6 days of this war.

Pentagon: The first 6 days of this war cost $11.3 Billion.

Whts da big deal? We 330million ppl in this country. $1.5bil translate to under $5/person/day. For MAGA we can easily afford $100/person/day.

Trump building Ballroom ...😂

ABC, can you say 'sneak attack'? The Reconstruction of mainstream media in The U.S. will be drastic to remove the suffocating narrative being imposed by AIPAC and Israel over our news.

i'm happy to spend my tax dollars on bombing iran instead of giving it to illegals in america

🇮🇷 has killed millions of people over the years in there attacks they killed 37thousand of there own citizens president Trump offered them all kinds of deals but no they wanted a nuclear bomb 💣 they would of really pushed the world around with that threat we thank our president for doing what should of been done when they took hostages in the seventy’s we support this so what ever the price in money it’s fine we paid for four years of Biden this ain’t nothing compared to what they did to us in the USA so thank you president Trump take out all the crazy people there

I see you ABC! I’m positive that you’re a bunch of divisive idiots!😂

1.5 billion a day could house all the people in the US, repair every road build hospitals for the mentally ill, and drug addicts. Lead the world in a better way than murdering children, and yes that includes are own that Trump wants to send to another country. He's unhappy they will not bow down to him or Israeli. Trump has made the whole world less safe than it was for a long long time.
Those of you that don't know should look at who 15 of the 19 were that pulled off 9/11, not Iran, but Saudi Arabia!

Open the borders allow millions to come in unvented the cost on the American people is unsustainable and now we’re concerned with the cost of a war that is inevitable
