The conflict with Iran is the most expensive “per-day” war in U.S. history, with daily spending nearly tripling that of the Iraq War

How about the cost for the attacked countries? 1 million lives lost in Iraq and for the US Secretary of state that price was worth it.

Is this inflation adjusted?

That’s the question. With 1970s money we’re looking at either $1tn or $8tn for that war. It’d be stupid if this wasn’t an adjusted number.

No mention of inflation from the source.
