Since the United States and Israel first attacked Iran on Feb. 28, war has exploded across the Middle East. Just 13 days in, the costs have been staggering.
The loss of human life has been significant. At least 1,444 Iranians had been killed as of March 13, according to Iran’s health ministry, including at least 168 children who were killed in a strike on an elementary school that initial reports suggest the United States carried out. Israel’s bombardment of Lebanon has killed more than 600 people and displaced over 800,000. Iran’s attacks across the region as well as its proxy Hezbollah’s assaults on Israel have killed more than 60 people and injured hundreds more. And 13 U.S. service members have died.
