US Says Iran Campaign Cost $11 Billion in Six Days

Washington — The United States has spent about $11 billion in the first six days of its military campaign against Iran, according to a report by The New York Times.

The report cited US officials who said the cost includes expenses related to military operations, weapons systems, aircraft deployments, and logistical support during the early phase of the campaign.

Massive Military Costs

Officials said the spending reflects the scale of the operation carried out by the United States Department of Defense.

The campaign involved fighter jets, naval forces, missile systems, and intelligence operations across the region.

Military analysts say such large‑scale operations require enormous funding because of fuel costs, advanced weapons, aircraft maintenance, and troop deployments.

Rising Financial Pressure

Experts note that prolonged military operations can significantly increase defense spending. Therefore, the total cost could rise further if the conflict continues.

The report said the early estimate of $11 billion only covers the first few days of operations.

Meanwhile, defense officials continue to monitor the situation and assess future operational needs.

Regional Tensions Continue

The conflict between the United States and Iran has heightened tensions across the Middle East.

Regional governments and international organizations have urged restraint and called for diplomatic solutions to prevent further escalation.

However, military activities in the region continue as global leaders monitor the rapidly evolving situation.

Global Impact

Analysts warn that the conflict could affect global energy markets, international trade routes, and regional stability.

Therefore, many countries have called for dialogue and diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions and avoid a wider conflict.
