The White House has revealed the cost of the US military operation against Iran.

The US military operation "Epic Fury" against Iran has not yet produced the desired results, while its costs are only increasing and have already exceeded $10 billion, according to White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett.

Bombing Iran, defending Israel and other Gulf states, evacuating American troops from bases in the Middle East, deploying carrier groups in military operations, and much more costs money, and a lot of it. According to the White House, the Trump administration's spending on the war against Iran has reached $12 billion to date. This is the latest figure, but not the final one. The damage inflicted by Iran's strikes has not yet been assessed, and that will also be quite a significant sum.



The last figure I was informed of was 12 billion. 12 billion is how much we have spent so far.

The White House believes that Trump has enough already agreed-upon funds to continue the military operation against Iran, and if not, he can always turn to Congress for additional appropriations.

However, some American political analysts believe Congress may not approve additional funding for Trump. Democrats, as well as some Republicans who support Vice President J.D. Vance, oppose a war with Iran. Therefore, Trump is advised to stick to the existing budget.

    And right around the corner are the midterm elections in this very Congress, so if Iran doesn't fall, Trump could be relegated to the lame ones.

      Trump will declare martial law and cancel the elections. Something could be sabotaged by blaming Iran.

        hrych hi , yeah, and he'll get another riot, with an unclear outcome, and his support within the states isn't great either.

          drinks A riot in the US and civil war suits us perfectly. Plus, the Jews need to go to Palestine to save Israel... by kicking them out. How else are we going to drive them from their homes?

      hi The price is clearly a bluff and an understatement, since two days after February 28th, they were already voicing a price figure of 3-5 billion greenbacks, not counting the market decline and the accompanying losses within the mattress industry alone, amounting to hundreds of billions of greenbacks and a domino effect around the world.
      What's interesting here is how the red-haired pedophile from Washington will get out of this situation, Cuba and his next victims?

      To blow something up or start a revolution in order to win the midterm elections, in my opinion, does not fit into ordinary logic at all.
      Although, Trump has everything of his own. But you'd have to be completely crazy to decide on something like that.

        In September 2011, we finally decided!

    What does Congress have to do with this? What do Republicans and Democrats have to do with this? Whatever the multinationals decide, that's how it will be. Rothschild's great-great-granddaughter opened up and said that without her family's involvement, no wars have started in the last couple of hundred years. The video is online. Who was talking about a conspiracy theory?

      Junior Private hi Everyone believes what they want. Aren't you bothered that this great-great-grandmother was allowed to blurt out such a thing?

        Did they allow it, or did she lose her temper and speak out? We'll see what happens to her. Sometimes people get into trouble for talking.

        Alexander, my respects hi Believe it or not, there's video. And all embarrassment and other norms of etiquette have long been cast aside. Those in power have long since stopped being shy about speaking out.

          Junior private, if this government and clans are so secretive and rule in the shadows, then how did they allow this great-great-grandmother to make such statements without wiping them off the internet? If they see no point in hiding in the shadows any longer, they should have come out long ago and DECLARED their power and shown who's boss.

            Why should they show up? They need to govern covertly. The monarch or president will inevitably change, but Capital will remain and continue to rule.

    Ten billion was spent, but how much property from military bases was lost? 50 billion—at least.

    For Trump, a lard here, a lard there, it doesn't matter. How brazen they are in this Congress!! And J.D. Vance is hot on his heels, I hope he doesn't get elected instead of Trump. That's what he needs to think about.

      Egoza hi It seems Trump can no longer influence the process; he has gone too far. Now it's either forward to some unknown victory, or forward to lameness, impeachment, and resignation.

    With this kind of spending, plus rising gas prices and the coffins of American soldiers from the Middle East, Trump will never be able to make America great! wink

    The US is completely indifferent. How much is our "Very Strange Military Operation" costing?

    The US spends approximately $1 billion per day. According to Western data, this is twice what Russia spends internally. Furthermore, these expenditures do not include the costs of the coalition and Israel.

    If Iran doesn't fall, Trump could be relegated to the limping category.
    Or they might even pluck you completely. wink
