A Moody's estimate says the confrontation with Iran has imposed roughly $100 billion in costs on American households, driven by higher government spending and rising energy prices. A large share of the expense stems from increased military funding for operations, troop deployments, defense support and related security measures. The war has also pushed up global oil prices, raising gasoline, transportation and energy costs for U.S. consumers and businesses. Beyond defense and fuel, the conflict is creating broader economic pressures, including heightened inflation risk and higher household expenses, adding strain to the U.S. economy.
