SAEDNEWS: US Spending on Iran War Surpasses $47 Billion, Exceeding Pentagon Estimates by 25%
According to Saewdnews, The US military has spent more than $47 billion on the war against Iran, over 25% higher than the Pentagon’s estimate in July, according to data obtained by Reuters.
The latest estimate includes more than $29 billion to replace munitions used during the conflict and over $6 billion to replace military equipment, including aircraft and drones lost during the war.
The figures represent a substantial increase from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s July estimate of $37.5 billion.
Reuters reported that the latest estimate does not clearly account for the cost of repairing damage to US military bases caused by Iranian missile and drone attacks.
