How much the war with Iran costs the US – level 1
09-04-2026 07:00
There is a war between the USA and Iran. It is now in its second month. The war costs a lot of money.
The US uses many expensive rockets. One rocket costs 3.5 million dollars. Every day, the US spends 385 million dollars. Because of the war, oil is very expensive now. When oil costs more, food costs more, too. In countries like Pakistan, people must pay much more for petrol for their cars.
Everyone is worried. They want the war to stop. Nobody knows when the war will end.
Difficult words: expensive (when something costs a lot of money), rocket (an object which moves very fast through the air), petrol (a fuel which people put in cars and trucks to make them move).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
