Iran war’s cost grows to $43.6 billion in new US military estimate
Pentagon's partial estimate for Iran war costs includes munitions and weapon replacements, but excludes damages and future expenses.
- On Friday, the Pentagon informed Congress that the U.S. war with Iran has cost $43.6 billion since it began in February, representing the highest official estimate for the ongoing conflict.
- According to United States Central Command, expenditures include $28.1 billion for spent munitions, $11.2 billion for operations, and $4.3 billion for lost weapons, with another $1.5 billion covering fuel.
- Military officials noted that this estimate omits potential billions in damages to U.S. facilities across eight Middle East countries, alongside long-term costs like veterans' healthcare and disability compensation.
- Diminished stockpiles of defensive missile interceptors have caused alarm among U.S. and NATO officials as Army Patriot and THAAD systems face high demand throughout the conflict.
- The Congressional Budget Office projects the war will continue to cost $2 billion to $3 billion monthly, sparking economic inflation concerns as the November midterm elections draw near.
