The US and Israel’s military actions against Iran, which began on Feb. 28, are starting to have effects not only militarily but also economically.

Preliminary estimates from experts show that in the first 24 hours of the operation, the costs of ammunition, fighter jet flights, and troop deployments in the region ran into billions of dollars.
