The cost of Operation Epic Fury in the U.S. is increasing as Congress prepares to consider a request for additional funding from the White House. The estimate from CSIS suggests that the war is costing the government nearly $900 million per day, according to Senate Majority Leader John Thune. Thune supports the mission to eliminate Iran's military capabilities, stating that the money would be better used for other priorities. The White House has not yet responded to questions about the cost of the war. A new Quinnipiac Poll shows over 7 in 10 voters are concerned about military action in Iran driving up oil and gas prices. The national average on Tuesday evening was roughly $3.54 per gallon, up more than 40 cents compared to the previous week.
