The Iran war is draining huge amounts of American money, which is bad for taxpayers, drivers, and farmers, while the White House asks for tens of billions more.

• A Brown University analysis puts the war's cost at over $113 billion, far above the ~$25 billion figure Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave Congress.
• Oil prices jumped after the conflict shut the Strait of Hormuz, adding about $1.15 per gallon at the pump and roughly $1,000 per household in higher gas, food, and other costs.
• The White House wants another $87.6 billion, including money for weapons and $11 billion to bail out farmers hit by a fertilizer shortage, since a third of the world's fertilizer moves through the same strait.
• 13 US service members have died, hundreds more are hurt, and polls say most Americans oppose the war.
• Senate and House leaders are pushing a $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget on top of the war request, though some senior Republicans are wary.

Outlook: The extra war funding is expected to pass despite Democratic pushback, keeping costs climbing for now.
