As of October 16, the total financial burden of the conflict with Iran on the United States has reached $47.1 billion.
Sea-news.az reports that this information was published by “The Hill”.
It is stated that the US Congressional Budget Office reached this conclusion based on its calculations. Of this amount, $38 billion was spent between February 28 and early August, while another $9 billion was spent over the following three months.
According to expert estimates, the conflict costs the US budget approximately $2–3 billion per month.
In addition, it is noted that the naval blockade imposed by the US in the Strait of Hormuz has lasted for more than 100 days, which increases expenses for supplying warships with fuel, food, and other resources.
