Scott Bessent said the cost of the ongoing Iran war is “not something we have to worry about,” despite the United States Department of Defense estimating that the first week of the conflict cost about $11.3 billion. The remarks came as U.S. and Israeli strikes continue against Iran and oil prices climb above $100 per barrel. Bessent also commented on tensions between Donald Trump and Keir Starmer over Britain’s cautious stance on the conflict.
