America and Israel have started ‘Operation Lion Roar’ against Iran. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other top leaders of Iran were killed in the joint attack. However, America has to pay the financial cost of this war. How much has Washington spent on the Iran war so far? The Pentagon gave the account.

The Pentagon presented a report to the US Congress on Tuesday. It has been claimed that the total cost of Iran’s war is 29 billion dollars. About 2 lakh 78 thousand crore rupees in Indian currency, which is much more than the estimated cost, has also been mentioned in the report. “So far, the war has cost $29 billion. Most of that money has been spent on repairs to military equipment and ammunition,” said Jules Hirst, the Pentagon’s acting comptroller. On the other hand, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has faced criticism for the reduction of weapons stockpiles and the increasing cost of war.

A report last March claimed that the first 100 hours after the attack on Iran cost the US $3.7 billion. 31000 crores in Indian currency. According to a report by the American think tank Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), the cost of the first 100 hours of the war was estimated at $891 per day. That is 90 million dollars every day. According to experts, the costs are highest at the beginning of the war. Valuable weapons, missiles and highly demanded bombs are all used in this war.

Donald Trump’s government may have to seek additional budget approval from the US Congress to deal with the situation, reports said. Meanwhile, the Trump administration will have to gain enough momentum to get that approval due to massive inflation, rising cost of living and rising oil prices in America.
