Officials from President Donald Trump’s administration estimated during a congressional briefing this week that the first six days of the war on Iran had cost the US at least $11.3 billion, a source familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.

The UN Security Council on Wednesday passed a resolution calling for Iran to immediately halt its attacks on Gulf states, saying they breach international law and pose a “serious threat to international peace and security.”

The United States Department of Energy said Wednesday it will release 172 million barrels from the strategic petroleum reserve “beginning next week,” as the Middle East war disrupted oil prices.
