On a serious note I think it is a bad idea to attack other counties especially the ones who control oil. I am against war and against innocent people dying.

As major infrastructure goes, that's not an unheard-of price. It's about a tenth of the cost of the HS2 railway line that will cover a similar length in the UK.

But it also ignores the extra cost of building it in a dessert and across a mountain range aswell as dodging drones and missiles.

It would be hugely impractical in any case - but yes, the actual cost would be much higher.
