What each one tells
opposition

- Peru
focused on American costs
the narrative centers on US forces' losses and shortages, without a symmetrical assessment of the impact on the Iranian side.
What the account puts first
MexicoMacroeconomic
the narrative emphasizes the total figure and its inflationary effect rather than the remaining military capabilities.
Omission of human costs
the budget count excludes human military losses and their long-term care, focusing attention on the material figure alone.
Single institutional backing
the narrative relies on the non-partisan authority of the CBO without independent counter-expertise.
- Peru
Reliance on official American sources
the analysis is based on reports from the Pentagon, the CBO, and cited American media, with no independent Iranian sources.
