Pentagon: The Cost of War with Iran to the US Exceeds 25 Billion Dollars

Jules Hurst III, Pentagon Comptroller and a senior official of the US Department of Defense, announced that the cost of the ongoing conflict with Iran is approximately 25 billion dollars so far. This figure includes operational expenses, ammunition, and equipment renewals. Hurst stated that the majority of the cost comes from ammunition expenditures. With the war exceeding 60 days, according to the 1973 War Powers Resolution, Congress must approve the continuation of the war. Members of Congress have requested a detailed breakdown of the costs from the Pentagon. Pentagon officials had previously reported that the cost of the war was 11.3 billion dollars in the first six days. These developments coincide with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which has caused oil prices to rise in the US and global markets. While decisions about the continuation of the war are being discussed in Congress, efforts to end the war in the Senate and House of Representatives have not yet succeeded.
