Political, military costs of the US’ war in Iran become clearer

The US war in Iran is revealing significant political, economic, and military costs for the nation, according to recent reports. Public opinion is overwhelmingly against the conflict, with only a third of Americans supporting it and most believing it has failed to achieve its objectives, which is likely to impact Republican prospects in Congress.

The war's impact extends beyond foreign policy, with Americans spending an estimated $107 billion more on fuel since its onset. Militarily, the US is rapidly depleting its stockpiles of missile interceptors, and images from CBS News reveal extensive damage to US Middle East military installations due to Iranian attacks.
