The U.S.-Iran war has already killed 17 American troops and thousands of Iranians, with no clear end in sight — and a poll shows only one in four Americans thinks it's worth the cost. Iran's cheap Shahed drones cost $30,000 each while U.S. interceptors run millions, making this a financially ruinous exchange. A crumbled ceasefire and escalating strikes on civilian infrastructure signal this conflict is spiraling dangerously out of control.
