According to the report, the war’s cost to the United States was estimated at $33.4 billion as of July. Of this total, $22.3 billion consisted of ammunition used, $3.7 billion of equipment losses and $7.4 billion of other expenses. The costs of repairing infrastructure were not included in the calculation.
Damage in four countries exceeded $208 million
The report said that damage to U.S. State Department facilities in Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates exceeded $208 million.
Of this amount, $184 million resulted from damage to diplomatic facilities, while $25 million stemmed from delays in construction projects, the report said.
