The total cost of US military operations against Iran has reached $47 billion.<\/p>\n

According to a report<\/a><\/span> by the American newspaper The Hill, citing an assessment by US Central Command (CENTCOM), the operation’s budget grew by more than $3 billion in the past month alone.<\/p>\n

A detailed breakdown of the spending appears in a document prepared by the command. The largest share of the budget is accounted for by munitions shipments, totalling $29 billion.<\/p>\n

Additional expenses arising directly from conducting the military operation stand at approximately $12 billion, whilst replacing lost military equipment and gear requires $6.1 billion.<\/p>\n

Funding allocated to support military personnel deployed to the region, air transport, communications, and transport operations within the operational theatre is calculated at $7.6 billion.<\/p>\n

Moreover, this overall total does not include the expenditure required to repair and rebuild US military bases in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

According to information reported by The Hill, US President Donald Trump is weighing the possibility of launching fresh strikes against Iran following the country’s midterm elections.<\/p>\n

Trump had previously described the military operation against Iran as one of the best decisions of his presidency.<\/p>\n

Congress steps in as budget deficit deepens<\/strong><\/p>\n

The bill for the operation climbed swiftly in a short period. In a statement on 22 July, US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced that the cost of the Iran campaign had reached $37.5 billion.<\/p>\n

Hegseth noted that the figure covered both expenses already incurred and projected spending through the end of the fiscal year on 30 September.<\/p>\n

A day before Hegseth’s statement, The Washington Post reported<\/a><\/span> that the Pentagon was facing a severe cash crunch due to the war with Iran.<\/p>\n

The newspaper reported that the White House had requested an emergency supplemental appropriation of $67 billion from Congress to cover military expenses, warning that the military would be forced to cut other spending items if the request were rejected.<\/p>\n

Following these developments, the House of Representatives approved a $1.15 trillion defence budget.<\/p>\n

The relevant resolution includes allocating $73 billion in additional funding to the Pentagon and intelligence agencies, primarily to cover the costs of the war being waged with Iran.<\/p>\n
