The estimated cost of the US war against Iran has climbed to $47.1 billion, according to a Pentagon estimate provided by US Central Command and covering spending through October 16. The figure is up $3.5 billion from the $43.6 billion estimate reported in early September, following the US-Israeli military campaign launched in late February. With the US midterm elections approaching, the war’s financial burden and its impact on energy prices could become major political issues for President Donald Trump and Republicans. Trump has also left open the possibility of renewed strikes on Iran while additional US military resources move to the Middle East.
