Washington – Agencies: Data from the U.S. Department of Defense, the Pentagon, submitted to Congress shows that the military has spent more than $47 billion so far to manage the war against Iran, an increase of over 25% compared to the department’s estimate in July. The latest estimate from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) indicates that operational costs for the war included more than $29 billion to replace ammunition consumed during the conflict. Replacing military equipment and what is known as platform losses would require more than $6 billion, including the loss of aircraft, many of which were drones lost during the war. The Hill reported that the estimates were issued on October 16 and Congress was briefed on them.
