Though Iran has been weakened by 12 days of war with Israel , Tel Aviv also saw significant failings in its defensive capacity, while its citizens are in shock. The 12 - day Iran-Israel war was a costly conflict for both sides, though Iran suffered disproportionately in human and economic terms. With 627 deaths and up to $200 billion in losses, Iran faces a long road to recovery, particularly for its nuclear and military capabilities. Iran ’ s apocalyptic rhetoric toward the United States and Israel should be treated with caution. Tehran is likely trying to intimidate Washington to avoid direct military confrontation. The brief but intense conflict caused heavy economic losses for both Iran and Israel , with global trade disrupted and diverted flights. The aftermath may linger longer, experts say. Israel is grappling with the economic toll of two simultaneous wars — one in Gaza, the other with Iran. With direct costs exceeding $85 billion and growing daily, and military budgets projected to double, the fiscal burden is raising alarms. The escalating conflict between Israel and Iran is significantly driving up military expenses, with costs for intercepting Iranian missiles potentially reaching up to $200 million daily , particularly through systems like Iron Dome, David’s Sling and Arrow 3. A war with Israel would be an enormous economic strain for Iran , potentially forcing the government to cut spending elsewhere, which could further exacerbate public dissatisfaction. Israel has so far killed more than 450 people, according to Human Rights Activists in Iran , a nongovernmental organisation that monitors the country. The Western political establishment calls this Israel ’s right to self-defence. But like in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Yemen and Syria, Israel ’s war on Iran is an act of naked aggression. Israel ’s 12-day war with Iran is estimated to have cost tens of billions of shekels, with thousands of people made homeless by missile strikes, according to Israeli sources. Defence spending in.
