Pentagon Reveals Iran War Costs: $25 Billion Spent

Описание: The Pentagon has officially revealed that the ongoing conflict in Iran has cost the United States twenty-five billion dollars to date. This figure, disclosed by financial comptroller Jay Hurst before the House Armed Services Committee, primarily stems from the extensive use of tens of thousands of bombs and missiles. This marks the first time the Pentagon has provided its own official cost estimates for the war initiated by the United States and Israel against Tehran. The high rate of munition consumption has led to significant depletion of United States Army stockpiles, including expensive precision-guided short-range and cruise missiles like the JASSM-ER and Tomahawk, which were used at ten times the annual procurement rate. This depletion has necessitated the relocation of ammunition from other global regions, potentially impacting United States defense readiness elsewhere. During the same hearing, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth requested a one point four five trillion dollar budget, a forty percent increase for the Pentagon. He also criticized former President Joe Biden's administration for allegedly providing hundreds of billions in ammunition to Ukraine. However, official data from Hegseth's own department indicates that Ukraine received nearly thirty-four billion dollars in weapons and an additional thirty-three billion dollars to purchase weapons from the United States defense industry.
