Hegseth is saying the Iran not-a-war is going to cost $200b, aka 3 times more than the entirety of Desert Storm, or a quarter of the entire pentagon budget for 2026.

If you’re using $67B for Desert Storm in Feb 1991, that’s $162B today. So this is still more expensive even when you adjust for inflation 😭
