On February 28, the United States and Israel began attacking targets in Iran, including Tehran, with media continuously reporting on the damage and civilian casualties, while Iran is retaliating against Israeli territory and US military facilities in the Middle East.
The Strait of Hormuz is a key route for Persian Gulf countries to supply oil and liquefied gas to the global market. After the escalation of the Middle East conflict, shipping has almost come to a standstill.
Russian State News Agency, Washington, March 16 - Kevin Hassett, the Director of the White House National Economic Council, said that the US attack on Iran has already cost 12 billion dollars from the treasury.
Hassett said in an interview with CBS Television: "The latest figure I have is 12 billion dollars, which is the amount already spent."
He added that the government has coordinated enough funds for this operation.
Hassett said that if new funding is needed, the relevant agencies of the White House will apply to Congress.
