US spent $25B on Iran war as Pentagon seeks $1.5T budget

The US has spent approximately $25 billion on the war against Iran, according to a senior Pentagon official who testified before a House committee on Wednesday.

The department’s acting Chief Financial Officer Jules W. Hurst III said most of the cost stemmed from munitions spending.

He added that the agency will soon submit a formal supplemental budget request to Congress via the White House once “we have a full assessment of the cost of the conflict.”
