The move came amid renewed tensions in Lebanon. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed in a post on X that four Israeli soldiers were killed by Hezbollah combatants on Friday. Israeli strikes killed at least 16 people the following day, including two children, according to Lebanon’s civil defense agency, and its health ministry said that the latest action brought the nation’s death toll above 4,000.

Several outlets have reported that the true cost of the war to the U.S. could be closer to $50 billion if it takes into account the bill for repairing extensive damage to military bases and replacing damaged or lost drones and missiles.
The war has also cost the United States heavily in munitions.
Sen. Mark Kelly told CBS’s Face the Nation last month that it could take the U.S. “years” to replenish stockpiles—a timeframe corroborated by defense experts. For example, restocking Tomahawk missiles will cost $3 to $3.5 million each, and Patriot missiles will cost $4 to $5 million each, according to Bilmes.
3,636 lives: The toll in Iran
The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency reported in April that 3,636 Iranians have been killed since the war began. Figures compiled from government statements, health ministries, and human rights reports indicate that at least 2,100 of those casualties were civilians—the vast majority killed by U.S.-Israeli airstrikes.
Another significant measurement of the war’s impact is financial. Iran’s economy has long struggled, and its dollar currently ranks as the least valuable currency in the world. In April, Iran’s government told a Russian news agency that the conflict has cost the country $270 billion in direct and indirect damages.
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world’s oil usually passes, has had worldwide economic consequences. The Institute for Economics and Peace estimated in June that the U.S.-Iran War is reducing global GDP by roughly $2.2 trillion annually—a figure that could skyrocket if the peace deal faces obstacles or fighting resumes.
Eight countries—Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman—depend on the Strait of Hormuz for the bulk of their hydrocarbon exports, but the closure has led to energy shortages and conservation efforts in farther removed countries as well, including Australia, Bangladesh, and South Korea.
1 million: Lebanese people displaced by the Israel-Hezbollah conflict
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said that over a million Lebanese people have been displaced since the start of the U.S.-Iran War. It also estimated that close to 1 in 4 people in Lebanon are set to face “crisis and emergency levels of food insecurity.”
“We established deep security zones around the state of Israel. We did this in Gaza, in Lebanon, and in Syria,” he said in a televised press conference June 15. “And I want to make it clear: We will remain in these security zones … to protect our country.”
According to the map published by Israel soon after the ceasefire, the buffer zone marks about 600 square kilometers consisting of 57 towns and villages. Airstrikes also took place outside of that buffer zone until late May, and evacuation orders continue to span about a fifth of the country.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claimed that over 1,700 Hezbollah combatants died during operations in Lebanon. In comparison, an Israeli news source reported on Saturday that 35 IDF soldiers and at least four civilians have been killed since March 2.
The ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel "leaves the IDF in all of its positions within the security zone,” he said, adding that their presence intends to protect residents in northern Israel.
