Although the conflict has been declared over, U.S.-Iran conflict expenditures have already exceeded $70 billion.
According to statistics obtained by TASS on May 4 from the website iran-cost-ticker, although U.S. authorities have announced the end of the conflict, expenditures related to the U.S.-Iran conflict have already surpassed $70 billion.
Information from the website iran-cost-ticker shows that current expenditures have exceeded $7.09 billion and continue to rise.
On April 29, acting U.S. Defense Department Inspector General Hirst stated during a hearing before the House Armed Services Committee that as of now, U.S. expenditures related to the conflict with Iran have amounted to approximately $25 billion.
But just one day later, U.S. media reported, citing informed sources, that actual costs were close to $40 to $50 billion. The sources revealed that this figure includes expenses for repairing U.S. military facilities and replacing destroyed equipment.
On February 28, the United States and Israel began striking targets inside Iran, resulting in more than 3,000 victims of aggression. In response, Iran launched retaliatory strikes against Israeli territory and U.S. military installations across the Middle East.
