The Iran war lasted about 15 weeks (Feb. 28–June 2026) before a preliminary peace deal was reached. The conflict caused heavy human and economic losses across the region. Deaths: About 3,500 Iranians, 26 Israelis, 3,700 Lebanese, and 13 U.S. service members were killed. Thousands more were injured. U.S. costs: The war is estimated to have cost the United States $132 billion, including military spending, higher energy prices, and broader economic impacts. Energy prices: Gasoline rose from about $2.98 to $4.00 per gallon, costing U.S. households roughly $460 more on average. Infrastructure damage: Hundreds of Iranian schools and health facilities were damaged or destroyed, while U.S. bases and assets in the region also suffered damage. Global effects: Disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz pushed up oil, fertilizer, and food prices worldwide. Source: NYT
