Trump likens Iran conflict to past US losses
U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the cost of the ongoing war between the United States and Iran, in terms of time and American lives, is far less than previous conflicts such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam, and Korea. He pointed out that the Afghanistan war lasted 20 years and resulted in the death of 2,000 soldiers; the Iraq war lasted 9 years and caused the death of 4,600 soldiers; the Vietnam War lasted 19 years and led to the deaths of 58,220 American military personnel; and the Korea conflict lasted 3 years with 36,574 casualties. He mentioned that the military operation against Iran was brief and has not been officially declared a war, but rather an "armed conflict." Additionally, he recalled the killing of two American soldiers in an Iranian missile strike on a base in Jordan, noting that the cost of the war on Iran so far has reached $37.5 billion, with an increase of nearly $8 billion above previous estimates.
