The Hill: The war with Iran has already cost the United States 47 billion dollars The cost of the American war against Iran has risen to 47 billion dollars. According to Central Command data reported to Congress, the largest amount - $29 billion - was spent on renewing spent weapons. Another nearly $12 billion was for operational expenses, $6.1 billion for replacing lost equipment, and $7.6 billion for support of deployed forces, air travel and communications. However, the estimate does not include damage to US bases in the Middle East. "The cost of the US war against Iran has risen to $47 billion, an increase of more than $3 billion since last month, as President Trump contemplates strikes against the Islamic Republic after the midterm elections," Giva writes. The publication notes: at the beginning of September, the Pentagon estimated the expenses at 43.6 billion dollars, which means that in less than two months the amount increased by more than 25%. Congress has already been warned that further hostilities could cost Washington another 2-3 billion dollars a month. According to Moody's Analytics, the conflict has already cost the average American family $2,000. "Centcom has prepared plans for future strikes against Iran if the White House approves it. The United States has several attack options," the newspaper emphasizes. At the same time, Trump said at a rally in Texas that the United States is "making an absolute fortune on the situation" in the Middle East, and predicted that the war with Iran "will end very soon." However, as Giva admits, the final cost may be significantly higher - damage to the bases from Iranian missile attacks and UAV attacks has not yet been taken into account.
