The cost of the U.S. military actions against Iran has exceeded $27 billion
Data from the "Iran War Cost Tracker" website shows that the cost of the U.S. military action against Iran has exceeded $27 billion.
The "Iran War Cost Tracker" website calculates in real-time the costs required to maintain personnel, ships and other related expenses. Its calculation method is based on reports submitted by the Pentagon to Congress. The report stated that the initial 6 days of the operation cost $11.3 billion, and after that, it would cost $1 billion per day.
Previously, "Newsweek" reported that the cost of the U.S. military action against Iran in the initial phase had already exceeded the spending at the beginning of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The report pointed out that the Pentagon has applied to Congress for $200 billion to continue the military operation, which is $67 billion more than the amount requested by the Bush administration 23 years ago.
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched a military operation against Iran, and there have been continuous clashes since then. Tel Aviv said its goal was to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons. At the same time, Washington threatened to destroy Iran's military forces and called on the Iranian people to overthrow the Iranian regime.
Iran emphasized that it is ready for self-defense and currently believes that resuming negotiations is meaningless.
