Pentagon Reports $25 Billion Cost for Iran War Amid Claims of Higher Spending

The Department of Defense told the House Armed Services Committee that the war in Iran has cost at least $25 billion to date. Some sources within the Pentagon suggest this estimate is low because it excludes the cost of rebuilding bases and replacing military assets. These sources believe the actual cost could range from $40 billion to $50 billion. Critics of the spending note that the administration is seeking another $200 billion for the conflict. They argue these costs are driving up gas and grocery prices while taking money away from domestic needs like health care.
