🔶 The Pentagon: The Iran war cost the United States 33.4 billion dollars
The inspector general of the US Department of Defense has confirmed that the war with Iran, which began on February 28, has led to ammunition shortages and bottlenecks in the US military's supply chain.
This report, commissioned by Congress, examines the period from the start of the war on February 28 to June 30. According to the American media, this report is one of the first official and public assessments of the cost, scope, and consequences of the war that America and its allies have waged against Iran. The Pentagon's Inspector General's report shows that this war not only had a heavy financial cost, but also affected the operational capabilities of the US military, the State Department, and other government institutions.
According to this report, the war with Iran cost the United States about 33.4 billion dollars. This figure does not include the cost of repairing damaged facilities.
Of this total, $22.3 billion is related to spent ammunition, $3.7 billion is related to equipment loss, and 7. $4 billion was related to other expenses. The inspector general of the US Department of Defense has announced that the Iran war has led to ammunition shortages and restrictions in the supply chain.
According to the report, the Pentagon is trying to simplify the procurement process, reduce production time, stockpile critical materials and parts, and maintain selected ammunition for quick response to potential crises.
This part of the report shows that the consumption of ammunition in the Iran war exerted pressure on American military planning in the area of weapons supply and exchange.
One of the most important points in the report is the government's approval of Iran's ground attack on the US Navy's central logistics support center in Bahrain. According to this report, Iran targeted this center using drones and ballistic missiles. This is one of the first official confirmations by a US government agency of targeting this important military center in the region. The Pentagon Inspector General's report also addressed the damage caused to military equipment, aircraft and other assets of the United States in the first four months of the war.
According to this report, at least 30 large American drones were destroyed during the war. The report also examined damage to aircraft, military equipment and several American bases in the area.
