Iran Strikes Cost $15B
The U.S. Department of War secretly estimated damage from Iranian attacks on its bases in the Middle East at between $5 billion and $15 billion, in addition to $47.1 billion in other war costs through October 16. A *Wall Street Journal* investigation reported that 119 buildings at 13 facilities were damaged during the first two weeks, and that more than 20 U.S. service members were killed and over 400 wounded. It also reported that three service members were killed and 19 buildings damaged in an attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan on July 17. Based on satellite imagery, the investigation concluded that Iran had improved the accuracy of its targeting and expanded its reach despite U.S. and Israeli strikes, prompting Washington to evacuate sites and redeploy its forces—contrary to U.S. officials’ statements that Iran’s capabilities had declined.
