❗️US war on Iran costs top $47 billion, 25% above Pentagon estimate The US military has spent more than $47 billion on the war against Iran so far, exceeding the Pentagon’s estimate from July by over 25%, according to War Department data obtained by Reuters. The Pentagon’s latest assessment includes the operational expenses of conducting the war, along with more than $29 billion in projected costs to replenish the munitions used in the war. An additional $6 billion or more would be required to replace military equipment and cover so-called “platform losses,” including aircraft, particularly the numerous drones lost during the war.
