How much does it cost (everything included) per year approximately to run a company with zero or very close to zero revenues in US ?. I am talking about cost including Lawyer charges, Accountant charges, Tax, agent charges etc.

Approximately $1,000, with some variation due to individual choices and variation, on the US side of things. I can’t speculate as to what it costs on your side of things.
If you're operating at Zero Revenue in the US, you won't be needing an accountant nor a lawyer. However, you will need a registered agent for your company, which is very likely a Delaware Incorporated. The yearly fee for the agent is likely to start around $100 and up. I paid $349 /year for the Delaware Tax.
Yes, and what are the tax implications for foreign nationals operating a us based company?
