US Spends Over $11.3 Billion in First Six Days of Hypothetical Iran Conflict, Officials Estimate

Washington D.C. It is estimated that the United States spent over $11.3 billion in the first six days of a hypothetical US-Iran war. US media outlets reported this preliminary cost estimate provided by officials from the US Department of Defense, the Pentagon.

 According to the news, military officials briefed US lawmakers on the war's expenditure in a closed-door meeting on Tuesday. The New York Times and NBC News published this detail, citing anonymous sources.

The report estimates that approximately $11.3 billion was spent in the first six days of the war. However, this figure does not represent the full cost. The report states that the expenditure incurred in preparing to deploy troops, weapons, and military equipment to the Middle East region prior to the initial attack is not included in this estimate. Therefore, the actual cost of the war is expected to be much higher.
