The Iran war has cost U.S. households nearly $2,000 each. New strikes could keep the bill climbing

On Oct. 8, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that “we will not be attacking Iran at any time prior to the midterm elections to be held in the United States on November 3rd.” On Nov. 2, the day before Americans voted, U.S. forces struck Iran’s Qeshm Island. U.S. officials told CNN the Qeshm attack was a defensive response to Iranian forces using surface-to-air missiles against U.S. assets. In a Fox News interview that aired that night, Trump suggested there had been no recent fighting. The Qeshm attack was not an isolated event.
