Trump downplays costs, consequences of war on Iran
US President Donald Trump is downplaying the nearly seven-month war against Iran as “small potatoes,” despite mounting US casualties, prolonged military deployments, economic costs, and growing concerns over Iran’s military capabilities and leverage over the Strait of Hormuz.
Experts say Trump is seeking to gloss over the economic fallout of the war on Iran, while Americans are left to foot the bill. US diesel prices have surged to an average of $5.85 per gallon, up 55 percent since the war began, reaching a record high.
A new report says Iran has emerged from the war with greater confidence in confronting the United States, while Iran’s top commander says the country’s performance in recent wars demonstrates its resilience and the failure of its adversaries.
Tehran has also condemned US attacks on Iranian oil tankers as war crimes and a threat to international peace. This episode of Spotlight examines how Trump is seeking to downplay the costs and consequences of the war.
