March 12, 2026
The first week of the U.S. war with Iran cost over $11.3 billion, according to information from the Pentagon. This amount covers direct military operation costs but excludes significant expenses related to attack preparations. Military officials reported that during the first two days alone, $5.6 billion was spent on weapons and ammunition. The actual financial burden could be substantially higher. These revelations highlight the high cost of military operations in the Middle East.
