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 tours end deal to end Iran war, predicts gas prices will fall to $2.50 'and even lower'
Addressing the Great American State Fair rally on the National Mall, Trump touted a preliminary deal with Iran to end the war, which he said would create the conditions for an agreement that would prevent the adversary from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon. "We had to make that little journey to Iran to do what we did," Trump said, predicting that gas prices would fall to $2.50 after the conflicts wraps. The last time gas prices were that low was January 2021. At the time of the rally on June 24, gas prices were at $4.20 on average across the country, according to AAA.
