US operation costs against Iran calculated

The operation against Iran, which began on February 28, cost the US 22.3-31 billion dollars.

“Elchi” reports that “Financial Times” published information on this, citing Elaine McCusker, a former high-ranking Pentagon budget official.

The article states that the US spends hundreds of millions of dollars every day. Approximately one-tenth of this amount is the cost of military equipment destroyed during battles.

Elaine McCusker estimates the cost of the campaign against Iran to be between 22.3-31 billion dollars, following Trump’s order to strike in response to US forces being hit at the end of February.

According to the expert’s calculations, the above figure includes the costs of deploying additional American forces and equipment to the Middle East. A full assessment of battle damage has not yet been included in the study, the text states.
