Warren: “Trump Promised No More Wars, Now Spends $1 Billion a Day on Iran.”
Senator Elizabeth Warren sharply criticized Donald Trump over the escalating costs of the Iran conflict, accusing the administration of abandoning its earlier pledge to avoid new wars. Speaking during a broader address on economic and national security issues, Warren highlighted that the United States is now spending an estimated $1 billion per day on military operations related to Iran, raising concerns about the long-term financial and human toll.
Warren argued that the spending comes at a time when many American families are struggling with rising costs, suggesting those funds could be redirected toward healthcare, childcare, or other domestic priorities. She also pointed to increasing fuel and consumer prices, linking them to the ongoing conflict and its impact on global energy markets.
Framing the issue as both an economic and moral concern, Warren said the administration’s actions contradict earlier promises of restraint, warning that the conflict risks becoming another prolonged and costly overseas war.
