How much is Donald Trump’s Iran war really costing America The Pentagon estimates that the United States spent $33 billion on the conflict between February 28 and June 30, including $22 billion on expended munitions. In this edition of Firstpost Spotlight, Daniela Laurel explains that a separate Congressional Budget Office estimate puts the total at roughly $38 billion through August 1. But the costs extend beyond missiles and bombs. Up to 30 MQ-9 Reaper drones were destroyed, F-15E fighter jets and KC-135 refuelling tankers were lost or damaged, and U.S. military bases and diplomatic facilities across West Asia suffered extensive damage.
With production bottlenecks affecting solid rocket motors, explosives and propellants, the conflict has also exposed challenges in replenishing weapons stocks. Firstpost examines the financial, military and logistical costs of Trump’s Iran war.
