Trump’s Iran war has cost overr $100 billion

Axios – The war with Iran has now cost U.S. consumers $100 billion in higher energy prices, Axios' Ben Berkowitz writes from a real-time Brown University estimate. The bill is rising another $1 million about every two minutes.

The Iran War Energy Cost Tracker from Brown's Watson School says higher gasoline and diesel prices have cost the average U.S. household more than $760 since the war began Feb. 28. Most of that is gas, though the diesel burden is rising faster lately.
