Trump's Iran war: A $40 billion catastrophe that hurts Americans most
TEHRAN- When Donald Trump last week declared victory in his war against Iran, he painted a picture of American triumph. OIL IS FLOWING, IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON... PRICES ARE DROPPING, he boasted on social media. But a comprehensive CNN analysis of the 100-day conflict reveals a devastating reality that the President's all-caps pronouncements cannot obscure: this was a war that bankrupted American taxpayers, emptied the nation's strategic reserves, and inflicted economic pain on ordinary families—all while killing more than 7,500 civilians in the region.

Trump also claimed the Strait of Hormuz remained open, saying a record 19 million barrels of oil transited the waterway on 23 June. He added that the US would use some released Iranian funds to purchase American wheat, soybeans and corn for Iran, and repeated claims that US forces had inflicted devastating damage on Iran's military. Iran is very keen to make a deal with us and I think we might make a deal with them, he said, while dismissing reports suggesting Iran had emerged stronger as fake news.
