    Trump’s Iran War Is Costing WAY More Than Americans Were Told | Lichtman Live #227

    https://trykalshi.com/allanlichtman This video is sponsored by Kalshi! I may receive compensation if you use this link. The cost of the Iran war is skyrocketing — and many Americans may not realize just how much money is already being spent. New reports estimate the conflict has already cost tens of billions of dollars, with Pentagon officials acknowledging massive expenditures on military operations, weapons systems, troop deployments, and replacement equipment. Some experts warn the long-term price tag could eventually reach into the trillions if the conflict expands further. In this livestream, Allan Lichtman breaks down: • The growing financial cost of the Iran war • Pentagon spending estimates and military budgets • Rising gas prices and economic fallout at home • The impact on inflation and American taxpayers • Whether the public fully understands the scale of the spending • Historical comparisons to Iraq and Afghanistan Reports indicate the war has already cost at least $25 billion according to Pentagon officials, while outside analysts argue the true long-term cost could be dramatically higher. As oil prices surge and economic pressure grows across the country, questions are intensifying about how far the conflict could go — and who ultimately pays the price. 🔔 Subscribe for more sharp insights on politics and history! 📅 Join us LIVE Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9 PM Eastern! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyQx8dGfgcQ4WUhrKP0ORlQ/join 📚 Order Conservative at the Core here: https://undpress.nd.edu/9780268210304/conservative-at-the-core/ Conservative at the Core has been selected as a History finalist for the Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards: https://undpress.nd.edu/blog/2026/03/20/notre-dame-press-titles-named-2025-foreword-indies-finalists/ 👕🫏Check out Dr. Lichtman’s Merch Shop!🐘🧢 https://allan-lichtman.printify.me/ Find all of our links here! 🔗 https://linktr.ee/allanlichtman #IranWar #Trump #Economy #GasPrices #iranisraelwar
