Iran war costs Americans over $37B in extra energy prices — study

The US-Israeli war with Iran has cost Americans more than $37.4 billion in extra energy prices, according to figures from a study.

The Iran War Energy Cost Tracker from Brown University estimates that Americans have paid more than $37.4 in additional costs since 28 February, when the US and Israel launched an attack against Iran.

The data has been updating in real-time, with the tally continuing to increase with each passing second.

The majority of the extra costs—$20.41 billion—have been paid for petroleum, while diesel accounts for nearly $17 billion.

The average US household has paid $285.10 more per month across both gasoline and diesel.

“This is an expense coming directly out of the pockets of American consumers,” said project leader Jeff Colgan.
