America: The war between Iran and America-Israel in the Middle East has been going on for more than 15 days. During this period both sides have caused serious destruction. Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz affected international oil and gas supplies. At the same time, America and Israel caused huge damage in Iran by conducting continuous air strikes. Due to this war, both sides have suffered huge losses humanly and economically.
state of war
America has so far lost the lives of at least 11 soldiers in this conflict. Apart from this, five refueling planes have also crashed during the war. America has continuously bombed from Tehran to Isfan through B52 bombers. Iran’s infrastructure and military establishment have been damaged in this attack.
The economic aspect of war is also very serious. Kevin Hatt, director of the US National Economic Council (NEC), said that America has so far spent about US $ 12 billion on this conflict. This expenditure has been incurred only on military operations, operation of aircraft and weapons and maintenance of troops.
OMB and the possibility of additional budget
Kevin Hatt said that at present the US government has the necessary budget available for the war. He also said that permission may have to be taken from Congress for additional funds, but at present the situation is under control. The US Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and its Director Russell Vought are monitoring this topic.
Despite this expense and destruction, the question is what America has gained from this conflict. The war has only increased human and economic losses, while the prospects for peace appear slim.
Iran’s reaction
Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz affected oil and gas supplies around the world. However, it opened the way for the allies of America and Israel so that the economic loss to the entire world is minimized. Nevertheless, the move caused huge volatility in the global oil market.
Iran strengthened its military infrastructure and used missiles and drones to respond to US-Israeli attacks. Due to this war, regional tension has increased and the security of neighboring countries has also been affected.
What is American strategy?
US President Donald Trump had presented himself as a peace messenger in this conflict, but the current situation has turned it into a question mark. The US and Israeli attacks only spread destruction across Iran, causing increased human and economic losses.
American strategy during this conflict was aimed at weakening Iran’s missile capability and maintaining regional dominance. But this strategy has raised many questions whether the target will be achieved even after such huge costs and losses.
Economic and humanitarian impacts
In addition to the $12 billion expense, the US also suffered the loss of its troops and aviation equipment. The war has created economic instability not only in Iran but throughout the Middle East. Oil prices have increased and the global supply chain has been affected. At a human level, the conflict has made life difficult for the local population.
