Breaking down the military’s nearly $40 billion Iran war

The Congressional Budget Office reports that the U.S. war against Iran has cost approximately $38 billion over its first six months. This estimate, released following a request from Rep. Brandon Boyle, is expected to increase by $3 billion every month. While the CBO provides this official figure, reports indicate the actual costs are already higher as the Trump administration continues to seek methods to conclude the conflict and manage the ongoing military expenditures.
