Public donations to Iran’s Welfare Organization surged by more than 500 percent during the recent 40-day conflict with the United States and Israel, according to figures released by Javad Hossein, head of the organization.
The influx of funds totaled 17.5 trillion rials, equivalent to approximately $11 million, reflecting a sharp increase in domestic benefactor support during the hostilities.
The contrast between the $11 million in domestic Iranian donations and the $40 billion in US military expenditure highlights the divergent economic impacts of the conflict.
The surge in charitable giving coincides with mounting economic pressures on both sides of the conflict.
A recent assessment by CNN estimates that the United States has spent approximately $40 billion on military operations against Iran.
This figure represents the preliminary economic toll of the war as diplomatic channels work to finalize a preliminary agreement to end hostilities between Washington and Tehran.
