US WAR WITH IRAN COSTS $11.3B IN FIRST WEEK
United States officials say the first six days of the conflict with Iran cost $11.3 billion, nearly $1.9 billion per day, not including ongoing ship operations and personnel costs.
The campaign has deployed two aircraft carriers, struck 5,000+ targets, and fired hundreds of interceptors against drones and missiles, with seven U.S. servicemembers killed.
Defense officials expect up to $50 billion more may be requested to replenish munitions, as lawmakers push for full accounting of the war’s financial and human toll.
