War's effect on Iran influences US economy
The United States is witnessing rising costs due to the American-Iranian conflict and tensions in the Middle Eastern waterways. Since the start of the conflict, expenses have reached approximately $38 billion over the first five months, including high military spending on replacing lost ammunition and equipment, as well as logistical operation costs. If the war continues beyond the midterm elections in November, these costs are expected to increase. The replacement of consumed munitions, particularly advanced missiles, constitutes the largest portion of the expenditure, reflecting pressures on military stocks and defense supply chains. Additionally, monthly operational costs are projected to reach around $3 billion, adding to the burden of the U.S. national debt, which exceeded $40 trillion in August. This situation leads to increased reliance on government borrowing and expanding the budget deficit, thereby exerting overall pressure on the American economy.
