It is reported that the US has spent approximately $47.1 billion on military operations related to Iran from February 28, the start date of these operations, to October 16.
elchi reports that according to The New York Times (NYT), the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) submitted a report to Congress last week regarding the expenses of these military operations.
In the approximately six weeks since the Pentagon’s latest calculations were announced, the costs of the conflict have increased by another $3.5 billion.
More than 60 percent of the $47.1 billion spent by the US on operations related to Iran between February 28 and October 16 was directed towards bombs, missiles, and other ammunition.
In this context, the cost of ammunition reached $29 billion, which led to the depletion of some critical weapon reserves, including “Patriot” air defense missiles.
Additionally, the US has used ammunition reserves intended for military units deployed in Asia and Europe.
The US, which involved more than 50,000 military personnel in the region, spent $2.1 billion on the activities of the Ground Forces, $7.6 billion on operations of the Air Force involving combat aircraft and bomber squadrons, and $1.5 billion on sending more than 20 warships, including aircraft carriers, to the region.
