Data from the “Iran War Cost Tracker” website, which tracks the costs of the war on Iran, showed that US spending on the war exceeded $95 billion, since it began on February 28.
The website explains that its estimates are based on what was stated in the briefing that the Pentagon provided to Congress on March 10, in which it said that Washington spent $11.3 billion in the first six days of “fighting in the Middle East,” and that it plans to spend an additional billion dollars on each subsequent day of the conflict.
About a month ago, a CNN source estimated the cost of the war on Iran, up to that time, at between 40 and 50 billion dollars, without this amount including the costs of rebuilding military facilities and replacing assets.
The US Department of Defense also announced, in the middle of this month, that the cost of the war on Iran had amounted, up to that time, to $29 billion, while it may reach a trillion dollars, taking into account the cost of replacing ammunition and energy costs.
According to information from another website, run by researchers at the Climate Solutions Laboratory at Brown University, which tracks the burden of war on American consumers as a result of rising energy prices, the rise in the price of gasoline by 48.4% and diesel by 51.3% over the past 89 days has cost American citizens a total of more than 49.5 billion dollars so far, which means about 378.14 dollars per American family.
