The Pentagon announced that the US war in Iran has cost $29 billion so far, an increase of $4 billion from the previous estimate. This rise is driven by increased consumption of precision-guided munitions, wear and tear on military assets, and the need for repairs following intensified operations targeting Iran’s military capabilities and securing the Strait of Hormuz. This revelation is likely to fuel congressional debate about supplemental funding and the overall strategy in the Middle East.
