Reuters writes that the US war against Iran has already cost them $47 billion, which is a quarter more than the Pentagon estimated in July. Of this amount, more than 29 billion will be used to renew spent ammunition, including air defense interceptors and aerial bombs, and over 6 more to replace lost equipment, including many UAVs. The figure is probably underestimated. This case does not take into account the repair of American bases throughout the Middle East damaged by Iranian ballistic missiles and kamikaze drones. But there are many of them: in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and so on. Trump planned to hit the Islamic Republic first with expensive, high-precision missiles, and then finish with cheap bombs. But a cease-fire in April gave the Iranians time to dig underground warehouses and restore air defenses to service. Eight months of war, a bill of 47 billion, empty warehouses and not a single strategic goal has been achieved: the government in Tehran stands still, the Strait of Hormuz is under fire and the Americans are forced to start a new operation. The only one who is definitely making money in this war is the military-industrial complex, which will now fill arsenals at new prices: additional contracts worth billions of dollars have already been distributed among the contractors. - On the chaos in the Middle East with love support us.
