Na one chance be this o, Iran wants to cripple global economy

US is surely exhausted with the loss

As of March 10, 2026, the ongoing conflict involving the U.S. and Iran (referred to as "Operation Epic Fury" has already cost billions in direct military spending and wider economic impact.

Direct Military Costs

Daily Expenses: The war is estimated to be costing between $800 million and $1 billion per day.

Cumulative Spend: Within the first 100 hours, costs reached approximately $3.7 billion.

Current Total: Estimates suggest total spending has surpassed $5.7 billion to $6 billion in just over a week of operations.

Supplemental Funding: The Pentagon is reportedly preparing a request for $50 billion from Congress to replenish munitions and replace equipment.

Projected Economic and Budgetary Impact

Direct Budget Hit: Analysts from the Penn Wharton Budget Model (PWBM) estimate direct budgetary costs will likely reach $65 billion, with a range of $40 billion to $95 billion if the conflict remains brief.

Total Economic Loss: Including disruptions to trade, global energy markets, and financial conditions, the total cost to the U.S. economy is projected to be between $50 billion and $210 billion.

Fuel Prices: National average gasoline prices have already risen by more than 10 cents, with crude oil hitting four-year highs during the conflict.

Asset Losses

Aircraft: The U.S. has reportedly lost three F-15E Strike Eagle jets, which cost roughly $90 million each.

Munitions: Initial attacks used over 2,000 precision munitions.

Carrier Operations: Keeping two aircraft carriers in the region is costing approximately $13 million per day.

he will shift it again, you see this people that supported Buhari and now Tinubu they are not okay

Dandali:
Yeah, let's test that theory. Who's country tanker is first to volunteer to test if Iran has the firepower to enforce?

Trump told its allies to "show some guts." and cross the straits with their tanker. Any takers on that dare?

The "Found Out" phase is still open for business. And so far, no one is itching to be a martyr for Trump's "show some guts" challenge.

Chai!!!!!!

Na google the brainwashed one dey bring come. I can't stop laughing
Abeg who owns and control google?

Did google inform you that Iranian IRGC have just captured over 200 members of American Special Forces (an elite special part of the US military). The US sent this special elite force to go and capture the leadership in Iran but they have been captured but did google tell you that?

This is isrealhell last night, Iran is showing them pepper 🌶️ and fire.

Yankee101:
Pakistan is next
They depend on Iran for cheap smuggled fuel
Nigeria is supposed to get a windfall of revenue but if IBB stole it and Diezani stole it, what will Tinubu do?

I hope a generation arises to probe all the windfalls Nigeria ever got and how it was stolen

stuffs2002:
Acute brainwashed heads spotted.
E be like say na iron sponge Fox news, BBC and CNN take washed these ones head

All these church mugus and their silly analysis.

FYI. Yesterday, Iran have achieved regime change in Bahrain. So all of you who are claiming Israel is winning yet it is Iran that achieved regime change in the middle east.

Mattswaggz:
So you think Nairaland is now a comedy centre right?.....if not what is this?. .

Namaster:
Stop saying NONSENSE.

It's a violation of International Law to ASSASSINATE the Head of State of another country.

ILLsrael/US did it.

DON'T make it seem like Iran was the first to violate International Law.

HacheNoire:
Fake news from MSN blogs!

The US and Israel won’t want Iran to start all over again!

People who are looking for exit ramp.

stuffs2002:
Israel is winning yet have placed a total ban on news reporting from Isreal and will give anyone who post any of their loses 5 year jail term.

HenryStarlife:
Tariffs just joined the chat

HacheNoire:
That’s a good one!

Who don’t need to break the bank for overhyped and unreliable western military hardwares!

Iran has re-define warfare. “Expensive does not mean reliable”

Our military also need learn from Iran. Invest in local production. We have the population to mass produce military hardware’s to probably nail the US or Israel in the future, just like Iran did.

Iran will be getting loads of military alliance and sales post war.

Pele ti e ooo!!
U will be alright 🤣🤣

If you are in business, do you sell lower to your friends and family members? Then a large portion of Nigerian crude is already pledged to pay debts. Also, if you sell lower to Dangote, that is going back to subsidy again and I personally don't support that. I believe and hope hostilities in the middle east will soon end because I read American analysts on Quora saying if Iran actually closes the strait of Hormuz then it can't be reopened in less than three to seven years and pms price will at least double

CaseSensitive:
The world survived Covid but at what cost? COVID caused low prices because demand collapsed. This one is the opposite of that.

Covid - Demand collapse
Middle East war - Supply disruption

In Nigeria’s case, yes Nigeria and Dangote may benefit from higher demands but it’s the average Joe that will suffer for it due to local fuel price rise.

LordBiden:
And that is my problem with you trumpers most you don't read and research,you just follow whatever gibberish trump post on his social media handles.

These US Iran war is a big foreign policy blunder,I advice you go read more about "Trump America first foreign policy".
Alot of voters who voted for trump did so on the promise that he won't create new wars like his predecessors,focus more on domestic issues like immigration, inflation.

Originalsly:
They're right. Iran has been targeting energy sources in the region ....including those in Israel which have already been knocked out....gas plant ..refinery ... nuclear electricity plant. The fear now is the water source. Iran has basically knocked out the Israeli defense system as well as the American advanced THAAD system. They're now almost free to attack anywhere with little resistance. Israel is taking th brunt if the attack ...the MOSSAD HQ....the Defense Strategy planning unit ... etc. Unconfirmed reports are saying Netanyahu has been killed in one of the attacks on Monday. Israel is burning ..taking and sharing of videos of the devastation has been banned. It's that bad.

maasoap:
They are not claiming we won't survive, understanding of the messages is very important

CaseSensitive:
Oh you don't need Qatar to tell you that the war in Iran will bring down the world economy. You don't have an idea what America has caused.

ScamDemicEra:
... why does the Iranian intelligence agency not gather intel on Trump/Epstein activities and make it public - afterall it's what satanyahu/m'ssad are using to force Trump to take foolish risks !!

TimeManager:
Like the league of nations, UN has outlived it's usefulness, it has become a toy dog of the US.



Each time Iran is at the table negotiating, they got attacked from behind. That's too cowardice of US and Isreal.

-Kiss the truth!

jazzman7711:
"Wish Wish Wish Wish Wish."

Iran has attacked no country in 200 years.

America has attacked over 50 countries since the end of WW2.

ISRAEL is committing genocide, has stolen land from the Palestinians and claimed "God" gave them the land 3,000 years ago.

When Iran resists these devils, you call them "terrorists".

You can't even see that you're part of the evil.

KingOfAmebo:
Are you not going to fight Greenland on top of Iran and Canada too? Kuku ma go to war with the entire planet and see if America will still exist... orange clown 🤡

I don't blame Trump I blame his daft supporters.
