Pentagon Revises Iran War Cost to 8B
U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth discussed during a Senate Appropriations Committee session that the costs of American military operations against Iran have reached $37.5 billion so far, an increase of $8 billion over previous estimates. This includes salaries, operational, and maintenance costs up to next September. He confirmed that the United States is imposing an effective blockade on Iranian ships, and that Iran lacks transit fees in the Strait of Hormuz but fires at ships. Meanwhile, American forces have destroyed thousands of Iranian munitions, some of which are hidden in closed facilities. He acknowledged that Iran still possesses military capabilities, but American strikes have significantly weakened them, leaving Iran in its worst state over the past decade, amid accusations that it is building a terrorist army seeking to acquire nuclear weapons.
