US Military Operations Against Iran Have Cost $12 Billion So Far

According to a US official, military operations against Iran have cost $12 billion so far. Kevin Hassett, Director of the National Economic Council, stated that this figure is the latest estimate, without specifying the timeframe for the spending. The Pentagon had estimated that the war would cost $11.3 billion in the first week of military operations. Hassett said the US currently has the necessary funds, but did not rule out the possibility of needing to request additional funding from Congress in the future.
