🇮🇱🇮🇷 *ISRAEL-IRAN UPDATES* *Israel’s War With Iran Costs Hundreds of Millions Daily* Israel’s war with Iran is costing hundreds of millions of dollars a day, driven by the high price of interceptors, air operations, and infrastructure damage—putting economic pressure on Israel to end the conflict quickly. Intercepting Iranian missile barrages—over 400 so far—requires systems like David’s Sling and Arrow, costing up to $4 million per shot. Estimates suggest missile defense alone may run between tens of millions to $200 million daily. Offensive operations are also costly. F-35 jets cost about $10,000 per hour to operate, and guided munitions further inflate the bill. Total costs for a one-month conflict could hit $12 billion, according to Israel’s Aaron Institute for Economic Policy. Damage to civilian infrastructure is another major cost. Hundreds of buildings have been hit, with reconstruction expected to exceed $400 million. Over 5,000 people have been displaced and are being housed at government expense. Despite soaring military spending and a temporary economic slowdown, markets remain optimistic, and economists don't predict a recession—yet. But the longer the war lasts, the heavier the financial toll.
