No cash to spare: Reconstructing Iran after Israel war could cost billions, Mideast expert says

[Jpost] The cost of rebuilding Iran after the brief but devastating 12-day war against Israel may exceed half a trillion dollars, with an economy strained by sanctions, capital flight, and investor jitters, Middle East scholar and Lt.-Col. (res.) Dr. Moshe Elad told Maariv on Tuesday.

Elad warned that Tehran must now divert scarce resources from social services and long-promised infrastructure upgrades to basic reconstruction, while trying to calm domestic unrest and reassure skittish partners abroad.

"Direct war damage alone runs to tens of billions - mostly energy and infrastructure," Elad told Maariv. Israeli missile strikes and cyberattacks, he says, destroyed or crippled at least 120 residential towers, power stations, and key nuclear-enrichment facilities. Internet blackouts in the run-up to the ceasefire carried an extra price tag of roughly half a billion dollars.
Why don't they ask their good friends the Russians?
