New research from Harvard Kennedy School contradicts the Trump administration's $11.3 billion estimate for six days of military operations in Iran, projecting total costs could reach $1 trillion. Public policy professor Linda Bilmes cites $2 billion daily expenditures during active conflict, including munitions, troop deployments, and equipment losses like three F-15 jets destroyed by friendly fire.

The April 8 ceasefire remains fragile after failed peace talks involving JD Vance and Jared Kushner. Bilmes warns the financial burden will persist for years, exacerbating U.S. national debt through replacement costs that far exceed historical military accounting values.
