Iran's retaliatory attacks in the first six months of the conflict damaged at least 274 buildings in 24 Middle Eastern sites with a US military presence. The damage to the bases is estimated at at least 5 billion dollars, and with a more complete accounting of destruction it may reach 15 billion dollars. The extent of the damage was determined through analysis of satellite images and other evidence. Buildings and infrastructure elements on which the deployment and supply of forces depend were damaged. No damage can be clearly linked to the attack, and some US facilities are shared with allies. Therefore, the final cost of the repair remains subject to assessment. In mid-October, the American military operation against Iran had already cost about 47.1 billion dollars. This amount does not include damage to databases and their restoration. Thus, the financial cost of the conflict consists not only of ammunition, equipment and ongoing support, but also of extensive damage to military infrastructure. Ξeconomics.
