Iran strikes cost US $15B
The U.S. Department of War secretly estimated that Iranian attacks had caused between $5 billion and $15 billion in damage to U.S. bases in the Middle East, in addition to $47.1 billion in other war costs through October 16. At least 119 buildings across 13 facilities were damaged during the first two weeks. Attacks linked to the war killed more than 20 U.S. service members and wounded more than 400. Meanwhile, satellite imagery analysis showed that Iranian targeting had become more accurate and had expanded to more distant bases, including Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, where three service members were killed and 19 buildings were damaged in a July 17 attack. In response, Washington redeployed its forces and considered moving facilities farther from Iran. But the continued attacks and damage showed that U.S. officials’ statements about declining Iranian capabilities did not mean Iran had lost its ability to target U.S. forces.
