US and Iran Drop Peace Deal as War Deaths and Spending Climb

The US and Iran have walked away from the peace deal they signed in June 2026, leaving no agreement in place to calm the fighting. The war has killed 53 Iranians, including three children, and 18 US troops. Defense Secretary Hegseth says it has cost $37.5 billion. Secretary of State Rubio says the US still wants to talk, but nightly attacks continue.
